A Forward-Looking Policeman
m the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Cleveland policeman, about to retire on a pension after twenty-five years service in the department has just been admitted to the bar and will practice law For four years he has used his spare time, attended a night law school, and at a time of life when many of his fellows think their usefulness near an end purposes to start on a new career.
 The incident is important, if at all, only because of the lesson 1t contains How many men engaged in similarly exacting work would be willing to utilize their hours off duty to such a purpose? Not many. of course. It takes strength of character to persevere in such an under taking. If this police officer is as ener- getic lawyer as he was a law student under adverse circumstances there ought to be flow of worldly goods in his di- rection that will make his pension lbol, superfluous.
 Most of us waste too much time Lit orally or figuratively. we begin the day s work when the whistle blows and quit by the clock. Outside those limitations comes more mental idleness than Is good for any one. There are plenty of ex- captions. certainly but for the majority the exertion necessary to perfect ones self in law-or medicine or any other profession-out of working hours would be considered an insurfnountable obstacle There is commencement theme ir the Cleveland police officers triumph.

Railroad Commission AdjOurns

Jackson, Miss, July 12.-The railroad commission adjourned last night having concluded work on the assessment rolls forthe several public service corporations and all assessments are now finally adopted. Except the compromise assess ment with the Illinois Central and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, very few and unimportant changes were made from the original figures and in fact very few were asked. A member of the commission, speaking of the compromise, says that the state gave up about $35,- 600 and law suit before the United States supreme court, and the railroads gave up about $50OO0 and law suit be- fore the same tribunal. wherefore he con- sidered the compromise a good one. The state gets the privilege taxes and sur renders claim on one-half the increased assessment on the Illinois Central.
