WANTED POLICEMAN
 TO GET EVIDENCE
Sons of Mrs. Charles NoIkman Com plain Because Officer Atwatef
 Didnt Act Detectives Part

As an echo to the interesting di- voice suit started by Mrs. Charles Volkman against her husband in which she charges adultery and asks absolute divorce and alimony as well as $15,000 damages, comes com plaint against Officer Alfred Atwater by Mrs. Volkman's two sons. The two young men have visited Chair man J. R. Andrews of the safety board, and stated their case to see if the officer was at fault.
 It is claimed that on last We'd neSday night Officer Atwater was asked to enter a certain house where it was supposed MT. Volkman was entertaining his affinity. The as- sertion made by the young men is that Officer Atwater refused to en- ter, saying that he was on another patrolman's beat. Instead he rapped for the other policeman, but by that time the birds had fitted away.
 Officer Atwater's defense seems very strong. He says that the com rlainants simply wanted him to act as a stool to collect evidence they could use in their divorce suit and did not want him to make any ar rests. He furthermore explains that he had just been to lunch and was taking a short cut back to his beat to ring up.
 Officer Atwater has one of the best records of any of the policemen and Chairman J. R. Andrews states that as far as he can see the only just cause for any complaint against him Is that he was off his beat. MT. Andrews says that no formal charges have been made against the patrol man

Recalling Days Now Gone.
Indianapolis News.)

Men who have reached middle age must remember those days-and how far away they seem!-when it was thought the worst possible taste for a former president to criticize or even discuss at au the administration of the president then in office Gen. Grant had not one word to say of MT. Hayes, though he neither liked nor trusted him. as recent Grant let ters prove. Hayes was silent in re- gard to Garfield, Arthur in regard to Cleveland, and Cleveland and Har- rison in regard to each other Mr. Cleveland did not discuss the McKin- ley administration. He even refused to interfere in the affairs of his own party after he left office. The idea was that there was a dignity attach ing to the position of ex-preside ent which forbade the practice. Probab- ly it was felt also that a criticism of presidents in office by those in retire. ment involved an egotistical compari- son of administrations.
 But the old rule seems to have fallen into disuse. We all remember what Mr. Roosevelt said about Mr. Taft. And now the former gentle man, immediately on his return from South America, attacks Preside ent Wilson's Panama and Colombian pol icy. Doubtless he will be heard from soon in regard to Mexico. We do not imagine that MT. Wilson will ob- ject-perhaps there is no reason why he should Yet there are many peo- pie who will think that there is some thing to be said for the older and more dignified custom. Of course, under present conditions, it is fool ish to expect or hope for the old "dignified retirement into which for mer presidents used to withdraw. For nowadays men never retire"
 These. as we all know, are days of progress, and We must expect to pay the penalty for the blessings which we anticipate. No doubt the abroga- ton of the old rule is one of those penalties. But one may perhaps without being regarded as a stand batter, regret the change. We used tc reverence ex-presidents as first citizens" and "sages' who lived above and outside of mere partisan strife. As such they had the respect, and often the admiration even of their old foes. Apparently this honor and dis tinction are no longer coveted. Even MT. Taft has censured somewhat, though respectfully and with due con- sideration. the administration of his successor

 There are some people, however,
 who seem to see in the attitude of the progressives an inclination to meet the the conference at Oyster Bay this week is regarded as an indication of what may be done in two years from now when preparations are being made for the great battle. There have been many prophecies made that the republicans and progressives would get together in 1916 and it looks as if an important step has been taken in this direction. An important point, however. is whether the pro- gressives will nominate state ticket in Connecticut this year. That point does not seem to have been discussed

Dancing has been a topic of con versation in all circles of society dur ing the past winter and as result of the widespread discussion of the new dances the popular-price as well as the exclusive dance hall has seen many changes in the style of motion that accompanies the music of the band.
