A STATE POLICE FORCE.
BY
!. e. Winston, Professor OF History
University Of Mississippi.

We Americans are lawless people.
In the year 1906 there were more muir
ders committed within a single coun-
| ty, of which leading Southern city
| is the center, than in the entire Brit
| ish Empire, with its millions of inhab-
itants. If a comparison be made of
| the number of homicides occurring
yearly in Canada and in the United
States, it will be found that, in proper
| tion to population, human life is held
| in far greater sacredness by our north
ern neighbors than it is among ourt
selves. One of the most alarming
symptoms that force itself upon the
attention of every student of affairs,
at the present time, is not only the un-
ceasing lawlessness and disorder, but
the easy going toleration of such law
lessness. Nor is this confined to any
particular section or race. The peo-
pie of the South have had. to face a
serious problem in this respect, aris-
ing largely out of the extraordinary
conditions which ensued as a direct
effect of the period of Reconstruction.
From the disorder incident to
strikes in the large industrial centers
Of our country, the South has been
comparatively free. 1t is in the rural
districts tht crime has been most COM
mon, leading at times to violent
clashes between the more irresponsi-
BILE elements of the two races, and re-
sulting, not infrequently, in conse-
quences of a most deplorable nature.
The remedy for these unhappy occur
rences would seem to lie in organic
ing and maintaining a body of police,
permanent in character, and entirely
under the control of the state author
tiles. It is little short of amazing
that not a single Southern state has
adopted such an expedient for enforc-
ing law and order. Such body OF
men, carefully selected and capably
directed, might be employed to patrol
the sparcely settled districts of the
state, and could be quickly moved
from one point to another, as occasion
might demand.
Everyone is familiar with the fam
GUS Canadian Northwest Mounted Po-
lice. They are splendid body OF
men, and have rendered service
whose worth can hardly be estimated
in dollars and cents. Such body is
the Pennsylvania State Constibulary,
which has been in existence now near
Fly ten years, and which has rendered
invaluable service in times of danger
In similar manner, here in the South,
the roads might be rendered safe for
travel by women and children, unde-
sirable characters dealt with, and a
security given country life and proper
ty, such as has never been known be-
fore. For after all, the indispensable
basis of any healthy and prosperous
civilization is sanctity of life and Sc
curity of property.

railroad business has been placed dur

more will be done during this week.
IT appears that it is no longer a
question of price on specialties, but
whether or not the stock is on hand

the trade to believe that material
advance in prices will take place with

BEARD OF THE TURK.
It Is Sacred, For by 1t He Pledges His
 Word and Hcnor.

1t Is Sacred, For by 1t He Pledges His
 Word and Hcnor.
 Some years ago the German Colonel von Schlchting. instructor to the Otto man army. was shot dead on parade at Yildiz kiosk by a young Albanian sol dier Hadji Bairam. because the Ger man ill correcting the faulty pose of the soldiers head touched his chin with his riding whip.
 Unfortunately the colonel did not know or did not remember that to touch a MuSsulman chin is a grave offense from religious viewpoint. It is by the beard of the prophet or his own beard that he SwearS allegiance and makes his vows and promises. Ac- cording to a Turkish general. an Al banian would kill his own father if Ee laid hands upon his sons head in so disrespectful d manner. A Mohamme dan military service is simply re- ligious duty. and it implies volun tary submission to discipline. But Turkish officers know better than to touch their men rudely or even to shout at them.
 Of course it was a very regreta ble misunderstanding. and the sultan sent q telegram to the kaiser to express his sorrow, and an imperial Ottoman prince and three Turkish ministers followed the victims hearse to the cemetery. But in the interests of discipline the murderer had to die despite an appeal for a reprieve from the colonel's widow.
 The Albanian was shot by ten men of his own battalion. and when he was asked before the execution if he re- pented of the deed he replied twice in firm voice. "NO"'-W Washington Star.

DIRECTING A BATTLE.
How the General Staff Keeps In Touch
 With the Firing Line.

How the General Staff Keeps In Touch
 With the Firing Line.
 In wartime the many threads lead ing from the long battle line at length reach a common point. which is the headquarters of the general staff. The activity of each officer attached to the general staff is therefore of the great est importance for the success of ev- cry military enterprise.
 During the action every officer of the syaff is at the immediate disposal of the commanding general and assists him in the carrying out of orders.
 Among the duties of the staff officer during action belong the gathering and stantly pouring in to headquarters and which give intimation of the progress of the battle. The staff officer must observe the needs of the troops in ac- tion. He must keep close watch on their supply of ammunition. He must see that their commanders properly ex- ecute the orders of the commanding general. He mSst look after the wound- ed, see that they are properly treated ana sent lO IdZlIelS. I1c luuSt Sct u it that prisoners are properly cared for ard that the commissariat is adequate ly provided for and the provisioning of the troops.
 Sometimes the commanding general intrusts staff officer with the observa- tion of the action of the opposing forces which may be beyond the view of headquarters. or he may be sent to the firing line with important orders to commanders there. which. however the staff officer has authority to alter if in his judgment this is necessary.
 During defense movements it is of particular importance to observe close ly the movements of the opposing forces ill order to make preparation for counted moves. such as advances, re treats. the sending of re-enforcements and other movements of troops. The execution of these movements falls within the province of the staff officer.
 The training of the staff officer is very thorough. A complete practical course in military science, extending over many years of active service with various bodies of troops. is augmented by years of study at the war college. which embraces the last word in the the Lretical science of modern warfare New York Tribune.
