merely, in keeping with that Of the de-
cent citizenship generally.
1t is to see Detroit redeemed from par
tisan machine rule, holding partisan
machine rule TO be responsible for the
fact that the city is right now knee
deep in the mire of misrule.
Judge Connolly, a Democrat, has
promised the people that if he is elected
to the office of mayor, he will name
Frank H. Croul, REPUBLICAN, police
commissioner.
That is not only the evidence that
Judge Connolly is in good faith when he
tells us that this department of the city
should be placed in competent hands,
but is the evidence, also, that he Is In
good faith when he tells US that the de-
partment should be taken out Of politics
and conducted as part Of government
of, by and for the people.
Goaded to political desperation by the
popular favor which greeted the an
nouncement of Judge Connolly that he
would appoint Croul, and the statement
of Croul that he would accept and give
his city more of the efficiency for which
his department was noted While he
served as commissioner, Mayor Marx de-
cided that John Gillespie would have to
be replaced by a man whose name would
at once win public confidence.
For that urgent purpose. Mayor
Marx picked James CouZens, who takes
the Office today, and the mayor could
not have made better selection.
Nevertheless, the appointment was
unfortunate when the issue Of political
control raised by Judge Connolly is con-
sidered, because Mayor Marx not only
named a Republican but Republican
who belongs to the Marx political fami-
ly, and the first impression Of the public
the impression that is generally held
longest-is that of desire for continued
power with the forces of the party or
ganization intact.

Taking the two men together, their

been productive Of results, but it is the
opinion of The Times, once again in all
fairness, that If the credit for the pro-

The Chief in the Chair.

Writing to the Baltimore Sun II
l.. X, of CHAIRMAN. Pa, has the fol-
lowing on The Chief That We Have
in The Chair which all good-thinking
people endorse:
Nearly every State has its favor
lite son; tits compliment neat and
rare. 1t gives to the chosen q home
made fame, which ia cherished with
pride and care. There are some good
men in this contest class they are
able to do and dare but we must adj
nit that they don't outstrip the Chief
that we have in the Chair. You may
roll the bunch into one huge man
who'll possess the brains Of the rest ;
he'll have ell the virtues and better
traits, and apparently be the best.
But what would ne have that we
haven't now ct is odious to comparel
in the Captain who steers ou- Ship OF
State, the Chief that we have in the
Chair? When November comes we
will surely see that our countrymen
acted wise; there wasn't one 'mongst
the candidates who was Woodrow
Wilson'S size. They knew they's been
blessed with Chieftain great, who
had done what was right and fair; and
they sanely said, We had better keep

INTO the history of that period and the
exterior scenes were filmed in the

author laid his story. The old South

are ali relics of the old days before
the war. An interesting fact con-
nected with the story is the use of
thumbprints for the detection of crim-
