BOY POLICE.

Portland is to have a "bOv police
force. The boy policemen" are not TO
make arrests. but are simply to act as
spies and informers as to other boys. \
good thing is a good thing until it is CON
verted into a fad. Even a fad may be
harmless until it is converted into a folly.
The boy scout movement is a good thing.
Many other boy organizations growing
out of it are good things. but the boy
policemen"-somehOw the idea is revolt
ing. Police work is work for men-and
they must be rather strong minded, level
headed men if they do the work with a
maximum of good to the community and
a minimum of harm to themselves. So
ciety needs policemen, and the business OF
guarding society against evil men is an
honorable business. Yet it is 10 work
for bOys-especially as the only work for
the Portland boy police" seems to be
work of espionage. The details of the
Portland scheme lave not been fully set
out i'm the press reports. but on the face
of it the scheme does not look good. Per-
haps a full knowledge of the items of
the work these lads are expected to do
NAV reveal some good points in it, but
it is extremely difficult to imagine any
good points in it. Intimate knowledge
of crme Of the haunts of crime. and of
the ways of criminals do not constitute a
good curriculum in the education of boys
from the ages of fifteen to eighteen.

VICE AT BAY.

The attempt to stop the vice crusade
in Illinois by Matchmaking the chair
man of the vice investigating committee.
has brought the blackmailers doubtless
to a realization of the truth that the
weapon they sought to use was of the
nature of a boomerang. Vice when 1T
gets into a corner is apt to become des-
p~erate-and dangerous. as far as its pow
er lies. But it's weapons are apt to be
very crude and Inadequate. The more
elaborate any system of lies is the more
apt it is to break down. A lie does not
fit anywhere i'm this world. 1t can never
be made to fit the other lies even i'll the
same scheme. The real element OF
strength in a Matchmaking project is in
the threat. to use it, rather than i'll the
scheme itself. 1t is believed that the
threat will terrify the intended victim.
He will shrink from the scandal, and
though he might win in the actual Issue
between the truth and the deliberately
framed charge, he may, nevertheless. be
scared into submission.
In this case the intended victim re
fused to scare, the rotten scheme fell to
pieces, and the conspirators stand ex-
posed. The effect wiz be to open the
eyes of the vice crusadrs as to who the
people really are who have a vested in
terest in the horrible things uncovered
by the investigation.
1t is well to remember that most Of
the c~ontrivances of vice are crude. That
is i'm the nature of things. The pitiftil
thing about it usually is the assumption
of superior shrewdness on the part 0:
wickedness and its admirers.

FOREIGN MERCHANTS COMPLAIN

The Department of Commerce is re-
ceiving complaints i'll increasing mum
bers from business men in foreign coun-
tres against the short postage Oh letters
received from the United States. These
forign merchants aver that the double
postage which they are required to pay
on letters from America is so annoying
that ii turns much trade away from u
country.
Commercial Agent Thompson writes to
The department from Marseille that the
large French importers report that about
half the American correspondence comes
with only a two-cent stamp affixed. Thus
an unfavorable impression is created.
The rate Oh letters to France is five cents
for the first ounce or fraction OF an ounce
and three cents for each additional ounce
or fraction thereof.
A mercantile firm at BuenOs Aires. i'll
calling attention to the receipt of so
many letters from the United States with
two-cent stamps only thereon, for which
they must pay Il fine, suggests to the Am
erican consul there: wv suppose that
this is due to a wrong Interpretation OF
the postal rates very general among the
commercial circles of your country. In
view of the enormous increase in com
mercial exchange with the country you
represent, we recommend that you take
the necessary measures to correct this
deficiency, which will not develop com
mercc with Argentina"
Similar complaints have reached the
department from Africa, Australia. and
many other parts of the world, and the
statement is usually added that short
paid letters from the United States are
beginning to be refused.
1t has been suggested that the simple
device of using a special colOred envel-
ope for fOrign letters would prevent the
oversight of short postage. Many firms
have already adopted this method with
success. Department of Commerce.

MANY LIVES SAVED.

Nearly two hundred thousand lives
were saved in the United States within
the last decade by systematic campaigns
aeainst tuberculosis. This is the STRAIT
ling, but highly encouraging announce
ment made in the anti-tuberculOsis con
~vention Friday. The man who made the
statement was not a doctor, but an in
surance man. Frederick j. Hoffman. Of
Newark. New jersey. The fact that Mr..
Hoffman is a life insurance statistician
gives greater weight to his statement
than could be given to the statement of
any single physician. The life insurance
peOple have reduced the gathering of vi
tai statistics to Il point as near absolute
certainty as statistics can ever be. 1t
is their business to know every element
that enters ntO the causes of death cvry
wear. and every element that makes for
security to life. Their success depends
upon information of this sort. Mr.. Hotf-
man NAV be assumed to be in possession
of all available facts bearing upon this
great problem of tuberculosis and we
may accept with confidence his statement
that tuberculosis is not entirely invinci-
hle. but may ut least be hindered i'm IFS
hitherto triumphant march by scientific
cslly contrived preventive measures. All
this is rather comforting. 1t proves that
modern science is right in its theories of
the cause and cure of tuberculosis.

aggressive operations, few would be
surprised to see rebel victory in spite

they believe that change in the ad-

been carried into the nation s capital
in the last few days and it was an
nounced today that the government had
sent q force Of men into the sewerage
system to plant dynamite under the ar

made use Of big iron water pipes not
vet placed underground They formed
these into tunnels and barricades and
were thus enabled to approach closer to
the rebel positions than hitherto.
