Moving of Postoffice Surprised Many

Much surprise was expressed by good
many yesterday morning to see the post
office moved from the building where it
has long been to the Wheeler building
on Main street. The postofiice has been

objection of the oldest inhabintant, and it
is claimed by many that it will be
brought back. However, that may be-,
it is moved and into very commodious
quarters, all being done after closing
hours last evening. Mr.. Wheeler has
sent specifications and will soon have
thoroughly up-to-date fixtures and cases.
Under Postmaster Neil and his assist
ants, everything will soon be handily
That the quarters from which
it was moved have been outgrown is
evident. The establishing of the new

The Tango Refuses To Be Damned.

II is usually pleasure to support Rabbi Wise for

As il happens. his sweeping attack was followed

and Berlin In the former capital some entcrprslng

the morality Of the dance. The vote was ~ in

It is not necessary 60 quote these distant author

he can say that all OF anything is immoral
and vile. II some dancing in his limited
observation has appeared wrong and

A MILITARY FORCE
Our Police Should Be as Soldiers, with
a Soldier for a Head.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The police force. through its mill
tary training has become almost mill
tary body. To my mind. the sooner IL
becomes so entirely the better 1t VIII be
for the organization and the city.
II will then be an auxiliary OF the ma
tonal guard
The Commissioner should be military
man. The force should be drilled In the
manual OF arms, and the use OF the rife.
so TO be able to use IL when necessary.
The old rules and regulations that control
the force should be changed, particularly
in regard to sdvancements.
II should be taken out Of politics. No
politician or citizen should ever be its head
again. Make these changes and hold to
them, and you will raise the standard OF
the force and put new spirit and pride
and ambition into every man on the force.
We would then have a magnificent body
of men-clean, honest and proud OF their
organization, with a desire 10 excel
The Commissioner would be a head that
they could look UP to and respect and
obey. lie, being one accustomed to con-
troll large bodies OF men. would be well
adapted to command and look after the
personality OF the force.
There has been a considerable advance
ment in the policeman himself OF late
years.
The red-faced. overweight. tobacco
splitting man. with his long shabby. dirty
and unkempt coat, has gone. and we have
in his place the well dressed. well built,
We'll drilled, alert policeman of the pres
ent day.
This change began the moment the mil
itary hand of discipline touched the force.
Continue this good work and add to it.
and the policeman's life and work will
be happier one in the future than in
the past. And he will become the noblest
Roman OF his day.
