1nE ONLY WAY.

One of the appointments most en-
barrassing and for which the proper
person seems to be hard to find and
select is chief of police. Newspapers
in cities that held elections this spring
are full of discussion over the head OF
the public safety departments or in
cities outside the commission form
over the appointment of the chief OF
police" 1t is a biennial bother where
towns change administrations often.
Around it group all kinds Of ward
politics and the interests and classes
that demand to be heard in these ap-
pointments run from the ministerial
association 10 the proprietors of the
worst dives in town. Job hunters, ward
workers, petty politicians, smoke
houses, saloons, churches, preachers,
good citizens and bad ones urge and
argue and demand openly or secretly
upon the selection Of the police head.
Now why all this trouble over po-
lice head? The natural conclusion
would be that of all men 10 be Sc
lected the head of the department that
guards public safety would be most
carefully selected and with one idea in
mind, that OF the most effective pro-
lection of the public under the law and
the enforcement of the laws and ordi-
nances.
The reason is plain. The police is
the plaything OF politics The remedy
is quite as evident. Take it ont of
the reach OF the Iawhreaking classes
whoever and whatever they are. The
policeman, chief or patrolmar. who
does his duty ought 10 he ont of the
reach of those who ind the laws
onerous and police supervision inimical
to the license they claim and desire
They never Will be beyond such en-
barrassment until the chief is hired
precisely as superintendent of
schools is employed and until he and
his subordinates may rest secure while
they do their duty against the efforts
of any class or individuals who may
for any reason sufficient unto them
selves desire their removal. A police
chief and a police officer should know
that his job depends on his behavior
and is safe while he does his duty as
an officer.
Take the police out of politics and
beyond the petty anger of good citi-
zens and the Influence" of the easy
money gang. That's the only way.

SECRET SESSION EVILS.
TSioux CITY Tribune. ]


It is move for the public veal that
Senators Kenyon and Cummins in
conjunction with a number OF other
middle west, senator's have started. by
their proposal to abolish executive or
secret sessions Of the United States
senate. excepting in the discussion OF
treaties and foreign affairs.
Senate executive sessions are very
like caucuses. They bind men to act
against their will and against their
conscience. and they smother publicity
that is needful in the management OF
public affairs. Under cover and pro-
lection Of an executive session senators
defend propositions and appointments
they wouldn't dare defend publicly;
they even go farther and make per-
sonal appeals for bad appointments to
be confirmed. which they wouldn't dare
do in open sessions.
All appointments to federal OFFICES
of doubtful propriety should be dis-
cussed on the floor Of the open senate
It is often Of greater importance to
select men vino are to enforce o: inter-
pref the laws than 1t is. to make the
laws, and the people are entitled to
know the virtues and faults OF officials

are entitled also to know who recon-

do not fail in the defense Of their ma
ton. No emergency viii ever arise
that shall fail to find its men. But we
need to teach and impress upon chill
dren and youth that patriotism and
honesty Of purpose and high sense Of
mutual dependence Is local also: that
the truest patriotism il not always dis
and in the clubs and the churches and
that no service is so essentially valu-
able as that Of the common citizen
whose patriotism begins with his own
hearth and his own town and whose
hope is for all men as it is for himself

DAVE sRAnrs CHANGE OF HEART.

A notable accession to the ranks of
those who desire to separate the school
house and the saloon as far as possible
in Iowa is Editor David Brant Of the
Iowa City Republican.
Mr.. Brant wishes to extend the five
mile limit law which removes the sa-
loon to that distance from any state
educa tional institution 50 as 20 include
the city of Cedar Rapids where it is
asserted students from the state uni
versity go to booze and frolic. This
accession is the more nota5le from the
fact that Mr.. Brant was in Des Moines
during much of the sessions OF the leg
islature, moving earth and hades in an
effort to prevent the passage cf the five
mile law. His apparent change OF
heart and mind is illustrative Of the
time. II is both pleasing and charitable
to accept Mr.. Brant's new light as the
result OF thought and desire for public
welfare. A lot of us who have never
agreed any too well with him will agree
with him on this point Extend the
FIVE mile limit if the legislature and
Mr.. Brant pleaSes to include all ed
ucationai institutions in Iowa whether
state or private.
Cedar Rapids was fairly III favor of
the FIVE mile law for Iowa City and
ares and Cedar Falls. It seemed to
most OF the good people Of that excel
lent community that the students OF
the state institutions should be
guarded from that temple Of failure,
the saloon and the high priests of dis
aster, the saloonists kept 1--WE miles
away. 1t might be suggested to that
very beautiful and cultivated city on
the Cedar that it has a great and
growing educational institution of it's
own right at home that lacks and
needs and deserves the same protec-
ton as a state institution. Students
are not essentially different whether
they attend S. U. I. or coe. The same
temptations assail them. They need
similar protection. Why then. does
Cedar Rapids maintain those death
traps for intelligence and success and
usefulness in the paths of the students
of Coe?
Something about it is peculiarly in
congruous. Cedar Rapids is proud OF
Coe and ashamed Of the saloon. Ma
turally, in community like that. II
it came to a showdown, which would
Cedar Rapids retain, the college or the
saloon? Well, it is coming fast to tina,
showdown. The better class of stu
dents from the better families are be-
ginning to avoid the college town that
sells the privilege to set traps for
youth.
But it is certainly gratifying to greet
Dave at the door. Welcome to our city

OR FORTY YEARS AGO,

Newspapers all over the country are
printing resumes of the news of forty
twenty I'VE or twenty years ago. taken
from their files. And in all communities
where men have lived and died and a
newspaper chronicled the births and
deaths and the activities social and
commercial day by day. those reprints
are being read with mingled emotions.
To most people it is like looking into
the mirror and seeing the faces that
used to look back from the polished
surfaces twenty-five years ago, our
faces but strange faces nevertheless.

The newspapers Of the state which
are making this foolish demand OF

giving the space to an elucidation OF
the problem of taxation to the end
that whoever is nominated for governor
in June. or elected in November, may
be able to deal with a tax-paying pub
lie that is fully informed Of the situa-
ton. 1t is amazing that so little should
be known in Iowa about who collects
and who disburses the public funds.
1t is amazing that the people can be so
readily aroused over wholly inciden-
tai state levy, when there is greater
variation in the same fund between one
county and its neighbor than the total
state tax comes to.
Let the newspapers that are clam

over high taxes take for their text the

counties, and present to their readers
a fair analysis Of the situation there

be less trouble. In Benton county the
levy has been reduced to IL mills to
meet the new assessment In Cedar
county the levy is still held at mills,
as it was last year. Here alone is a
difference OF 80 mills, barely a frac-
ton Of mill less than the total levy
made by the executive council OF the

text the tax levies for Des Moines

Never try to conceal defective work.
Take your full measure OF blame, and
do not make the same mistake twice.
Watch, in q quiet way, what things
are being done around you. and don't
be afraid TO ask sensible questions. A
good rule Is to think over a question
twice before asking. A reputation for
having horse sense means that You
are making good.
Foremen and workmen will take

yourself genuinely appreciative OF little

you already know, don't spoil their
pleasure by telling them you already

versation may lead to something which
Is entirely new to you.
