p0LcE PR0TECTION ANp sALARY INCREAsEs.

q EVEN new policemen have been added to the local
- force The increase is pleasing to the public and
the hope is widespread that there will be further
menatons as quickly the treasury Of the city Will
bear the burden.
In connection with the enlargement OF the force,
suggestion is made that the salaries Of all the police
men IN the department be increased. We doubt seri
0usy that suggestion will be received with pub
lie favor at this time. The sentiment of the COM
munity 70 be against salary increases in any di
rection In fact several large and prominent tax
payers say frankly It would be wiser to increase the
1ze Of the force than the total Of the present payroll
They point out that there several sections OF our
city that nadeQuatey policed at present and add
that while increased pay for the present members of
the force would supply the needed protection the
addition OF a few men the force it exists today
would accomplish that desired result.
In certain quarters that have the interest of the
Howell administration at heart there also is feeling
that il that administration to make good financial
showing the Of the current fiscal year, it must
fight shy Of salary increases which seldom viewed
win public approval.

CECm MAN FOR GOYERNOR.
ON the American Sentinel.

From the American Sentinel.
The Sentinel has heard it suggested
that State Senator f. E. Williams, Of
Cecil county, would make a strong
candidate for Governor of Maryland
on the Republican ticket, next fall,
and while not committed to support
his candidacy in the primaries. il he
should aspire to the nomination, the
writer can say for him that he would
fill the position with ability and dig
nifty, and with credit to himself, his
party and the State. He is a strong
man Intellectually, honest, clean and
pure politically, and above reproach
in all the relations of life At the
election in Cecil county a year ago
he overcame large Democratic ma
jority and went to the Senate, Of
which he is now a member. He was
a leader in the body, not. only as a
Republican, but as legislator. This
is said from observation and from
personal acquaintance with Mr.. Will
liams.

New Stadium at New Haven

NEW HAVEN. Aug. 31.-Although
Yale has been unable to press its new
stadium as a site for the Army Navy
football game this fall because of the
uncertainty that the structure would be
completed. the progress of the work
has been so rapid recently as to elimi-
nate possibility that the bowl" will
be unfinished. With this assurance the
Vale football officials have taken up the
matter with the Army and Navy Of
ficials to play the game here.
No other American field has a seat
ing capacity of I2Go0. and no other can
begin to accommodate the crowd that
clamors annually for a sight of the
annual gridiron spectacle. Strong influ-
ences are at work among Army and
Navy officials to urge the choice of the
field, which. it is felt by veteran Off
GERS in both the military departments,
Is the most ideal.
II is now certain that the playing sur
face will be ready for practice by the
Yale eleven by November l. and that
the seats will be ready by November u
for the accommodation of football
crowds. The Yale-Harvard game. which
will raise the curtain to performances
in the bowl. will be played ten days
later. and the Army-Navy contest will
be scheduled for the following Saturday
