Wonderful Police Perception

FL PasOs newest chief of police who came to the
department with splendid recommendation rOoming
house keeper has made discovery. 1t is that bur
glars and robbers do know that they have robbed
place unless they read it in the newspapers
To keep the robbers in ignorance Of the crimes they
have committed, the chief has issued orders that the
papers must not be told of the burgares committed
in the city. The robbers of course, buy the newspapers
to what they have been doing and soon they
discover that they have robbed a place, they leave
town and the police can't get them. This is apparently
hte theory Of the chief, for there could be othes
for suppressng the nsws-uness there is just
bare possbility-perish the thOught-that the chief
does want the public to know Just how much
mischief there is going in FL PasO which his force

Funny men, some of these police chiefs In New
York Chicago, St. Louis and all the big cities, where
the business of being policeman is a life study the
newspapers have TO all reports. No attempt is
made at mystery and secusion except as the actual
movements Of the police bring about results The
acts Of the police legitimate secrets but the
publication Of the fact that house has been robbed
has never harmed anybody and never caused robber
to escape But amateurs have their excuses; if
they can't catch the burglars they at least keep
the public from knowing it by keeping 1t out Of the
papers.

Of the news and it believes that the people viii

4 PPENDICITIS IS something that

had appendicitis. while the doctor and
the automobile are boon companions.
Appendicitis is a peculiar pain in
the region Of the Test-pocket, which

CONGRESS AND TRADE.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
Having just returned from a trip to
the Midland and Odessa country, where
I find everyone enjoying a high de-
gree Of prosperity and money is plen-
tiful and easy to obtain, am at a loss
70 understand why that great south
ern plains country shouldn't BE more
OF an asset to FL Paso than It is.
Fl Paso is closer than Fl Worth. or
Dallas. yet the people haven't got the
II Paso habit and few Of them come
here. II strikes me that our merchants
and chamber Of commerce ought TO
make an effort to get the trade Of this
large and wealthy territory and to
Wsan them away from eastern cities
with which they really have little in
common Fl Paso ought 10 break even
with them in cities lying as far east as
Big Springs. Alpine and Maria, but she
is not doing IL
A packing plant would help US more
than any one thing, but we ought TO
be doing business with those people,
even without the live stock markets

THE LIBERTY BELL.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
In reading The Herald for today, I
noticed the statement. in an advertise
ment OF the Popular store that the
Liberty Bell was rung on the Sth Of July,
19l6, and not the 4th. If that is so,
Why have we always celebrated the
Fourth, and why would il take 139
years TO find out that the American
people were mistaken 7 have looked
up several histories on the point, and
they all seem to agree that the date
was the Fourth.
The poem. Liberty Bell" which was
also printed in The Herald today, gives
the Fourth as the date Just to sat
-sfy myself. 1 should be glad to learn
where the Popular got its information,
and also, II possible, I should like to
learn who the author OF Liberty Bell'
was have the poem in a book. but
the authors name is not given, and
noticed that It was not mentioned in
the patriotic Fl Paso boys letter. which
was printed today.
