The District s. Pension Fund.

Announcemeiitl Is mate that the police

trict is again. in. deficit, a condition by
no means surprising. and : unfortunately
not at all unusual Indeed, in the present
conditions It is always to be expected
that this fund wilt fail to meet. the de-
mands upon It With distressing regular
ity. IT Tas.hqped that Congress would do
something, at the last session. to correct
this condition and TO guarantee sufficient
funds TO Insure full payment of the
claims Of. retired policemen and f1remen

their lives in line Of duty. But. the ret
concentrations of the Commissioners were
ignored afsds Nothing was accomplished.
with the. result that the fund .rernains
upon it's Inadequate foundation, with a
constantly Increasing demand upon it,
and there is now a prospect of a deficit
during the present calendar year Of
nearly $4,000, the highest in the record.
Already during the year the deficiency
amounts to $11,O79.91. In 1911 the def
cheney was S15. 566.30 and in 1912 it was
$40, 1861. Taking the total of those two
years and the present 1913 deficiency and
the fund has in the past two years and
a quarter fallen short of requirements by
SAG, 0S1.2S. This is a shameful condition,
for which the District, however, is not
responsible. The matter has been re-
ported to Congress again and again and
the houses have been importuned to adopt
system of revenue. provision which
could be relied upon for this purpose.
No good reason has been advanced for the
failure and the matter stands as scan
dalous neglect ,of duty on the part Of the
Districts legislature Great distress has
been occasioned by the inadequacy of
the fund. families having been brought
to the point of actual privation in con-
sequence of the failure OF the District to
pay the beneficiaries, who have through
no fault of their own been forced to ac-
cept considerably smaller sums than those
to which they are in truth legally en-
titled. This is an emergency matter
which should be brought to the attention
of Congress pointedly at the extra ses-
sion. Otherwise there will be no oppor-
tunity to correct the conditions until the
passage of the next District appropria-
ton bill. probably over year from now,
and in the meantime the total deficiency
will have been increased in all likelihood
to $4,000

The Chief of the Paris Police.

Monsieur Lepine, head of the Paris po-
lice force for twenty years, has resigned
This Is momentOus announcement
doubtless of much more consequence to
the criminal classes of Europe than 10
Americans who know of this veteran
law officer only by reputation. His name.
however. has been familiar to the world
as that of a man of irreproachable hon
esty and implacable hostility to- all
forms of lawlessness. N. Lepine is a
veteran administrator. having been con-
nected with governmental affairs for
forty years. He is a typical exponent
Of French bureaucracy, efficient, diligent.
conscientious and thorough. HIS has
been no sinecure in the office of police
supervision. for Paris has criminal pop
uIation of both desperate character and
large size 1t is. indeed. one of the most
difficult in the world in the matter OF
the prevention and the detection OF crime.
OF late years band Of outlaws called
apaches have operated there with an
amazing degree of bravado and success.
II would seem, perhaps. to Americans that
the existence of this loosely organized
crew ot thieves. garroters. professional
murderers blackmailers and swindlers
constituted a reflection upon the efh-
cheney of the police force. but when the
conditions that prevail in Paris are taken
into account 1t is by no means surpr1s-
ing that the apaches have continued to
thrive Perhaps at one time il was the
policy of the police to permit these peo-
pie to work their games so long they
kept within certain bounds. The sug-
gestion has been advanced more than
once that the police used them from time
to time for political purposes and critics
of NJ. Lepine have gone so far to de-
clare that he has even fostered these con-
ditions in order to make occasional
strokes appealing to public approval
This was probably wholly unjust. Ger

OF the lawbreakers. His roundup of the
amazingly defiant automobile bandits of
the capital demonstrated that there was
no lack of ability at official headquarters.
however spectacular may have been the
methods employed. 1t is always TO be re
membered that French officialdom loves
display and demonstration, and work that
would perhaps be quietly performed by a
policeman in another country has to have
France TO be effective with the public.
ii is to be hoped that Mr.. Lepine will
write his memoirs Most Frenchmen do
so when they retire from public life. His
autobiography if frankly and fully told,
would be one of the most interesting
documents ever prepared

The Excise Board.

With his great multitude of othef-lpties
President Wilson is called upon to name
three citizens of the District to serve as
members of the excise board under the
new act of Congress which separates the
administration of the liquor law from the
board OF assessors Already many names
have been suggested, and it is evident
that in the course Of short time the
President will have large field of candi-
dates from whom to select three who rep
resent the community and who can be re-
lied upon to administer this law in the
spirit of it's enactment AS far as can
now be judged the new statute is salts
factory in that it tends to reduce the
number of places for the dispensing oil
LIQUOR and to put them under stricter reg
ulation.
The selection of these three excise ad-
ministrators calls for careful discrimina-
ton and study of local conditions. Inc
President will be in uowise lacking in
suggestions and advice or the subject.
Already names have been proposed which
command general respect and confidence
and it may be taken for granted, that in
sitting these and others that will be aGded
TO the list before the tine of selection the
may be relied upon to deal fairly with the
liquor trade while enforcing with scru2u-
lous thoroughness the restrictive features
of the law.
Given a we'll chosen excise board, COM
posed of representative citizens who de-
vote themselves to this task assiduousiy
and conscientiously. there will be no occa-
sion for further agitation of this subject
for long time to come. The efficacy OF
the new law cannot be determined with

of the District people, with minimum OF

eral respect for the law itself. it will have

play will be lively from the start.
1t is stated that Mr.. Mann has no
thought of attempting the role of mere
tease or obstructionist. He realizes that
the democrats have received a mandate
to legislate. and he expects them to obey
it, They are to try to do what they
charged last year the republicans had

that If this House fails the ,next4will be

chances for the Speakership will be ex-
