POLICEMAN is doing only his


/ ~ duty when he arrests a per-
son he believes is violating
! the law" said Judge z. B. NIcCHntock.
/ ''I know Cap1inger well, and those who
/ know him say he always uses diplo-
macy before making an arrest. Cap
! linger is not the man to make any
rough plays. You heard about the
| time a policeman almost arrested me
/ for suspicious character. That was
about six years ago. I was standing
| at the transfer station. had been
! there for some time and a number of
| cars had come and gone. He was one
I Of the many new men who had been
/ put on the force. What are you do
| ing here@ he asked me- I told him
/ that I was just loafing around. He
wanted to know if ], knew anyone in
FL Paso. I told him that I knew one or
two persons. He talked to me long
/ time before he could make up his mind
( not to take me to the station"
THAT was a bright cop" said J. ".
: Brown, smiling. he knew his bust
ness. The time that YOU are talking
about, judge, was just the time they
had imported a lot of these long, tall,
old cowboys and put them on the po-
/ lice force. That was the time the long
! coats came into use. There was one
tall boy who ran up about seven feet
in the air. He drew one of the long
coats. After putting on his gun, he
put on the coat. He made a reach for
the gun and could not get it. Then he
fastened the belt for his club around
the outside of the coat and hung his
slXshooter on 1t. The cowboy was on
the plaza beat. He was not out on the
streets long until he had a lot of news
boys following him. Around the corner
came Joe Sweeney, who was then
mayor. Joe spotted the pistol strapped
on the outside of the mans coat Get
in somewhere and put that gun any
where it can't be seen, sir Sweeney
said to the cowboy. That cowboy did
not see any use in having a gun he
could not get to-"
IF a person wants to find out what
fine lot the automobile owners are" |
said f. Z. Sawyer, "all he has to do is !
to own car himself If you are out |
on the road and break down and an
automobile comes along, the man in the |
car doesn't pass you up with a high !
sign. He stops his car and comes over I
to you to find out what the trouble is. !
He does more than that, If it is some /
thing that needs fixing, he pulls off his /
coat and helps you to work on it. If |
you do not know how to fix it yourself /
he will do all the work himself. If /
an automobilist breaks down, others do !
not pass him They will always slow |
up and ask you if you need any as /
slstance If you do, they are ready to |
Proper recognition certainly was |
given when Gen. Hugh L. Scott was ap- /
pointed assistant chief of staff Of the ]
United States army" said J. r. Ga |
lusha, deputy United States marshal. of |
AlPqquerque, N. NJ, who visited FL Paso ]
friday The general is fitted by /
years or training and actual experience |
Tor the highest honors in the army. I /
was with him. acting as guide when |
ne visited the Navajo indian reserva-
ton at the time of the uprising there
some three months ago. The wonderful |
effect his parley with the reca Icitrant |
indians mad convinced me Of the big /
ness of the man. Gen. Scott is a con-
genial companion and splendid com !
pany: On our long trek to and from
the indian reservation we had many
long talks and he recounted his ex- |
perlences IN years gone BY which were |
intensely interesting TO me. I was al |
most as pleased as he himself when I !
read in the dispatches of his appoint |
ment to be assistant chief Of staff"

Charles Moore is a good example of /
real fraternity and what it means to a 1
man away from home" said deputy /
sheriff j. B. Fitzpatrick. Charlie was
away from home, he had no relatives |

his funeral would not have been so i'm |
pressive as it was. The Masons did !
everything they could for the peace |
officer, quit their work to attend his |
funeral and accompanied his body to |
the station. The Masonic lodge is /!
called on several times a week to at /
tend funerals of members and there is |
never any excuse given, for they are /
always there and do everything they |
can for the relatives Of the deceased"

ganizatiOn for boys founded on the /
principles of the Boy Scouts, but with l
the added feature that it is also a re- |
ligiOus organization" said S. Fl. Nc /
Mullen. THE organization was started |
to provide a way of interesting boys in (
church work and ideas, while at the /
same time developing them along good. |
healthy lines like the Boy Scouts. Since /
the order was started in FL Paso it |
has done good work among our boys, |
and we are planning an additional fea- |
ture, cadet corps that will develop /
the boys on even broader lines There |
