of Police.
William l.. Windsor, Jr., formerly
alderman of the Fourth ward, is to
succeed Colonel Joseph b. Hutchison
rumor that was current in the streets
to-day.
Ex-Alderman Windsor is thoroughly
familiar with police work, having
served as city detective under
eX-Mayor Patterson, as chief of the
Philadelphia and Readings police de-
partment and as justice of the peace
and alderman of the Fourth ward.
The report of the former alderman S
possible selection, was a surprise in
municipal circles, as the present
Chiefs friends generally had expected
that Colonel Hutchison would be re-
tanned.
Should the change of police heads
be a certainty, it Is doubtful If it will
be made before April !.
City Commissioner NJ. Harvey 'Tay-
lor, superintendent of parks and pub
lie property, refused to-day to discuss
the Park Commissions advisory reso-
lutions relative to the retention of v
Grant Forrer and j. Raymond Hoffert
as Superintendent and assistant super
intendent of parks.
Did you get the resolutions?" he
was asked.
Yes, they're on my desk. l. read
What action, if any, will you
take?"
well, I'd rather not comment on
the matter at this time at ALL"
General expression. of approval of
the Park Commissions recommends
tion was expressed throughout the
city to-day and the impression pre-
vailed that the plan to dismiss Forrer
would likely be reconsidered.
That Forrer's retention as park SUI
perintendent is possible, after all, was
generally believed and that this would
be brought about by the creation OF
the city planning commission. Com
missioner Taylor declared to-day that
1t was definitely decided at last even
1ng's councilmanic conference to offer
the ordinance creating the planning
commission on Tuesday. The terms
of the members will run from one to
fire years, and 1t is understood that
the old Park Commission will serve.
No action was taken on the shade
tree ordinance. If Mr.. Hoffert be-
comes the planning commissions en-
gineer, then Mr.. Forrer's retention is
considered certain. The resolution
providing for the appointment of the
members and prescribing their terms
won't be submitted for few weeks.
The Commissioners last evening dis
cussed probable appointments to be in
corporated in a resolution that will &c

Something About Sleep.

How much sleep is necessary for a
man? The question was raised CEN
turtles ago by Montague. "Phistians,"
he wrote, may consider whether sleep
be so necessaire that our life must
needs depend on it, for we find that
Persus, king of Macedon, prisoner at
Rome, being kept from sleep, was
made to die; but Plinie aleagath that
some have lived long time without
any sleep at all. And Herodotus re-
porteth there are nations where men
sleep and wake by halle yeares. And
those that write the life of Epimenides
the wise affirm that he slept the con-
tinuall space of seven and fifty
yeares."

MODERN JOURNALISM
UP To OLD STANDARD
Papers Today WELDING Just as
Much Influence as Those
Of Days Ago

We do not believe, says the Albany
Argus, the moral standard of the jour
nalistic profession at this time is any
lower than it was in the old days,
when men famous as editors were uni
versally acknowledged as in a very
large sense molders of. public opinion
and directors of public thought. The
ideals, the ethics and the standards
of journalism are as high to-day as
they were a quarter or a half century
ago.
Throughout this broad land Of ours
honest, conscientious and able men
are devoting their energies to their
profession, with a full realization not
only of the importance of the work
in which they are engaged, but of their
moral obligations to themselves, to
their fellow workers and to the great
public. Decadence is not the ten
dency of American journalism.
The great rank and file of American
newspapermen, from the editors in
chief down to the office boys, aim to
selves and present the worlds hap
penings accurately and intelligently
to the reading public.
The publication whose staff does not
do this IS not really newspaper. The
great rank and file of American news
papermen regret more deeply than the
general public realizes the existence
of a comparatively few so-called yell
low journals. which aim more to pro-
duce daily sensations and thrills than
to present the real news.
These publications too frequently,
for the sake of appearing to have
news" the legitimate newspaper does
not have, either print startling fabri-
cations or misleading statements based
on such a thin and intangible fabric
of fact as to be misleading in the
extreme.
Public Fooled
The public is too often fooled by
such means, but the conscientious
newspaper worker always experiences
thrill of satisfaction that he has
not fallen into such moral turpitude
that he can palm off on the public
sensational rot in the guise of real
news or deceive either the public or
those about him in an effort to accom-
plish his own sordid purposes.
The regrettable thing is that the
efforts of the yellows to be sensa-
tional at the sacrifice of truth and
accuracy tends to throw discredit on
the entire field of journalism, as the
general public has no means of know
ing which. papers are yellow and which
art really dependable.
Those papers, however, which lean
toward conservatism and are careful
in their statements, rarely have any
thing to retract, although willing tC
, make retractions when they do fall
| into error, and whose statements are
not being perpetually denied either ir
toto or in part by other newspapers
may generally be accepted as reliable

IN THE RAIN

In the rain, in the rain,
Life and Love take hands again;
Clear against the silver wall,
Builded of the slanted fall,
Flamelike in the humid gloom,
Rose of Life how red you bloom!
Red as in that magic day,
When two trod a magic way,
Heart in heart, and hand in hand,
Love-led through a blossom land.
In the rain, in the rain,
Who shall reck of loss or gain?
Who shall reck of gold or gear?
Gray-Beard Time or Coward Fear?
Hear the wet winds pleading voice,
Crying soft: Rejoice! Rejoice!
The good world makes festival,
Marching to the drumming fall
We must follow-sweet, your hand!
In the rain to blossom land.
