Crochet Hint.

In crocheting an edge on a towel
or dolly, 1t Is usually difficult the first
time around to introduce the crochet
hook; there is danger not only of
splitting the threads but also of the
hooks slipping and piercing the fin
ger. This difficulty may be overcome
6y using a coarse (No. 81 needle un.
threaded. and stitcI'ag on the ma
chine around the dolly with a short
stitch about three sixteenths of an
inch from the edge. Then the cro-
chet-hook can be inserted in the holes
without any difficulty.

that if we put all shipping passing through the cana

advantage of an indirect subsidy given to water
carriers in order to enable them 70 cut their rates

has its remedy. even if the free tolls clause Is
stricken out of the canal law

the only way that water competition with the trans
continental railroads can be fostered is through
violation of the Hay Pauncefote treaty?

Permancnce Protects the Police System.

Senator Roots razoredge mind has cut light
through the complicated discussion Of Mayor itcheS
police reform bills His letter to the Mayor brushes
aside all surface phases of the matter and leaves it
thus
The city like any private employer has right to
hire its employees on permanent or temporary basis
as best for the public. The police force hired
on what amounts to permanent basis, has not
made good, the recent police scandals proved.
Therefore the police privilege of permanence Of
place should be abolished and new policy insti
uted
1t is the public's interest which must come first in
this situation The public wants honest and
efficient police force. II wants force made up of
men who will not graft protect grafters. 1t
wants force capable of detecting and exposing
crooks If they wear police uniform. 1t is not
such q police force today Some few members
choose TO capitalize their uniforms by selling pro
lection TO lawbreakers and standing in with crooks
They are able 10 do this because nothing short Of
proof such would convict them in a court of law
can remove them from the department and because
the honest policemen will not take sides against
them. No policeman can hide himself behind the
Commissioner. as was attempted at the police lieu
tenants dinner. 1t is not the weakness ignorance or
even viciousness Of any commissioner which has de
moralized the force as whole 1t is the fact that
the system is protected by permanency of place
and what Senator Root terms "a conspiracy Of
silence" obtained through fear or a hideously mis-
taken and warped esprit de corps.
Gratitude for permanency OF place which they
were eager enough 10 get has not made the police
what they should be 1t is well established in other
walks Of life that knowledge that the workers place
is dependent entirely the quality of the work has
salutary effect If the existing body Of men behind
the brass buttons and nightstcks can't repreSs law
breakers and force the underworld out of sight il
should give way 70 some other body Of men. No
private employer keeps acknowledged failures on his
payroll or tolerates conditions which prevent the
highest grade of service by his force. There's no
reason why this city should 1t is the Legislatures
duty to change these conditions by passing the
Mayors bills.

Henry NJ. Teller might have won high rating
among American statesmen If he had not committed
himself TO a mistaken and losing issue He had
zeal, industry and sincerity in abundance and tried
hard to get down 10 real and effects i'm poll
tics. He accepted after much study the theory that
the evil results Of contraction in the SOS and

legislation diSocation Of values which Nature was
about 10 cure Ivy multiplying the supply Of gold
Mr.. Telers career eliminated when he left the
Republican party in 1896 He had been recog-
nized leader in the Senate. Cabinet officer. high
protectionist and ardent nationalist. His speech
cost him 10 his party associations. Yet the
single issue Of free coinage lie went over 10 the
opposition. aud though he served two more terms
in the Senate he never felt himself m home as
Democrat.
He came near getting the Democratic Presidential
nomination in 1896. He the secret choice of the
Democratic silver leaders in Washington and his
name was TO have been sprung after deadlock

entitled THE Benton incident" which APP
peared IN your publication this morning.
Sober second thought on the part of the
people Of this country viii leave them in
full accord with the ideas and conclusions
YOU have so timely expressed.
According to best advices. Mr.. Benton
called upon General" Villa in a belicose
state OF mind. intending TO offer a last
and fervent protest against the ravages
committed against MS property boy the
so-called "Consttutionalists
Mr. Benton is known 10 have been an
arrogant and high tempered individual.
Owning an estate OF ever one hundred
thousand acres OF land in the Mexican
State OF Chihuahua he had ever been loud
and indiscreet I'm his defence OF Huerta.
As an extremely wealthy and influential
man he gave OF his support and influence
To the Federal cause, even after Chihuahua
had been taken and occupied by the Con-
stitutioualists under Villa.
For over twenty years Mr. Benton had
lived in Mexico He married a Mexican
wife ana prospered nightly under ne
regime Of Porfrio Disz. Madero sue
ceeded Diaz. and Benton many times at
tackled Madero as an ideaiistlc dreamer
lacking sufficient strength TO rule a coun-
try requiring the mailed fist Of a iespot
After the overthrow and execution OF
Madero by the Huerta faction Mr. Benton
vas one ~ the first 10 urge upon England
the recognition of the Huerta or de
facto" government Mr. Benton had al
WAYS retained his English citizensnin In
