POLICE FORCE OF FUTURE.

We must stop regarding policemen
as mere keepers of order, and we must
enlarge our view of their duties far
beyond the arrest of criminals and the
terrorization of the neighborhood small
boy, writes Newton d. Baker in the
July Atlantic. They must be selected
with reference as much to their abii-
ity to catch and spread the spirit of
the social advance as to their personal
courage and cleverness in following
the twists of the criminal mind Their
chief use will some day be the stinu-
lation of social self-control, for even
now the most powerful force for the
preservation of order is not the force
shown or even implied by the police
man, but that innate sense for order
which we Americans have and which
we enforce by the pressure of neigh

it is significant that this time Alice did
not mention her meeting with Rod

meetings which were brought about
by Black Betty's perverseness.

were driving toward Pendleton. The
way led through the tall beech woods

And the young people-they loved

A VISION OF YOUTH.

A VISION OF YOUTH.
In meadows sweet where my bare feet
Once twinkled on the clover,
And bloom and bee delighted me
Ere 1 became a rover,
Bearded and gray / stray today,
And from them to the wildwood,
Again to seek-again to speak
The happiness of childhood.
Cooled by the breeze near whispering trees
/ lie and look and listen,
Till natures truth and dreams of youth
In all their glory glisten.
In changing skies my happy eyes
Find castles great and steepled,
That years ago full well l know,
l built and owned and peopled.
Ill-fortune, tears, mistakes, that years
Have added to life's sorrow
1 thrust behind-keep out of mind
Forget until tomorrow.
Nor cloud nor storm could now transform
This vision of my pleasure,
Fen after rain I'd try again
To find the rainbow's treasure.

BIG MOBILE GUNS.


Secretary Garrison, probably the
ablest member of the cabinet, has
learned a lesson from the European
war and, without heraldiny his
plans to the newspapers has under
taken a great reform in the artillery.
He is planning the construction of
a number of mobile carriages for
the 10 and 11-inch mortars now in
possession of the coast artillery and
for the training of the soldiers in
their use. This country has a num-
Der of these powerful mortars, but
they are all mounted on immovab1e
carriages and would be available only
in the forts where they are mounted.
Under the new plan many OF these
will be so mounted that they could
be hauled to any place an enemy
might attack or seek to land, and
fired from trenches constructed on the
spot Moreover, Mr.. Garrison has or
dered extensive drills with such field
artillery as the army now possesses.
Congress has failed to provide any
thing like an adequate amount of am
munition, but such as it has provided
will be used to train the men to hit
what they shoot at.-Manhattan Ma
tionalist.

DENMARK IS DEMOCRATIC.


The new Danish constitution, which
becomes effective this week, makes
Denmark one of the most democratic
of nations. Following the lead or
Norway Iceland and Finland, Den
mark gives full suffrage to women
Moreover, it abolishes entirely the
privileges of the landed aristocracy,
which has hitherto possessed, through
electoral limitations, the power of
continuously holding the upper house
of Parliament. This chamber, though
elective, was in effect a Danish house
of lords. and blocked all progressive
legislation proposed by the lower
house, which was fully representative
of the people. 1t is altogether likely
that the great war is indirectly re-
sponsib1e for the Danish reforms. In
a time of national danger it was
deemed advisable to obliterate domes-
tic differences. For many years the
people, represented by the lower house
of parliament, had battered in vain
against the stone wall of privilege. The
surrender which has resulted in the
new constitution was made voluntar-
lily by the aristocracy. They were, IL
seems, Danes first of all. They pre-
ferred to give up privileges which they
deemed rightfully theirs rather than
to permit discord to continue.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
