The Wilmington Labor Herald makes the following
comment upon what has become a very and
rather inelegant practice "Why do newspapers
persist in calling the members of our police force
cops? The papers should take a tumble TO themselves
and give them their greater Wilmington name-police-
men," We imagine that the chief reason is that the
word Policemen is long that it will not ft in the
ordinary newspaper heading OF today. The word
Cops is used as a mechanical expedent rather than
as an indication of any lack of desire to do full
courtesy peace conseryators, who, by the
usually call themselves cops" And while dis
cussng with the Labor Herald the question of the
elegancies and the nelegances OF newspaper English
we would remind it that the phrase take tum-
BILE to themselves is not polite as to be worthy
OF emulation Did the inspiration for il come from
police sources? Why not use "Cut it out!" Forget
I'll" Can itl" BLOW the froth off and get down to
the ambcri" the OF expressive phrases
that have been coined i'm the Bowery and made their
way into the vernacuar OF the coast? Take tumble
themselves is infinitely than cops and, be-
sides il consumes much space. It is almost as
bad the Boston version of it, which is "Precpitate
yourself without thought of gyroscopic locomoton
into the nfntude Of unimpeachabe rhetorical space"

STARBOARD LIGHTS, AHOY!

Champion of Illumination
Beacon light of legislation
Ellison to thee We bow,
Ard kowtowi
Gloomy roads now will be lighted;
Lantern dealers are delighted
By the mighty profits sighted
Through your bill
In the MILL
Lanterns must grace every wagon,
So the driver, with the fagon,
Who's lit-up and has a jag on
Shall not die,
On the fly.
When the speeding auto dashes
Through his drunken dreams and
smashes
Him to bits
Where he sitsl
No more couples on the spark
May do spooning in the dark.

CONSERVATION LEGISLATION. ;

We must have protection for all
things that ny and crawl;
The game laws that we have today
will never do at all
We must have conservation, with all
things the term implies;
It must apply TO everything, from
jobberwoclS to flies.
The moolyhoolecoodle is i'm danger of
destruction;
The lollyboggle's partisans set up an
awful ruction;
The hooptehumptedoodle isn't having
an show,
While the hunkstehanksteyOo has
been dealt a deadly blow.
The boOlyhOcdipedrus asks protection
from the State;
Our solons must get busy or they'll
find themselves too late.
The soft-eycd hippolaticus looks to
Dover for redress,
While the synosinkosauras finds
things in an. awful mess.
Every flying, crawling creature looks
to Bradford for projections;
Conservation legislation was one aim
of his election.
The moolyhoolecoodle must be saved
at any cost;
The hooptehumptedoodle is a bird
that can't be lost
To the greed of sordid hunter or the
hunger of the hound,
AS il skins with weary pinions DER
the cheerless, frozen ground.
We must have legislation, and we
want it right away;
We must have conservation, and we
shouldn't lose a day.
The gun is on the shoulder and the
hound is on the run
So, if Mr. Bradford doesn't act, more
damage will be done.
