An Explanation
Br Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

A correspondent wants TO know why
write such senseless and false stuff, also
what excuse | have for living anyhow.
He evidently hates me right in the stom-
ach, loathes my work, and waits anxious
ly for my funeral notice.
j will try to explain for him Just how
1t was Ii was really not my fault.
When the man handed out the sandwich
he said 1t was Tuesday, so how was to
know! 1t was raining very hard. and
YOU could scarcely see your hand before
you for miles and miles, and when the
engineer clapped on the brakes it was
no wonder that Emma jumped OF course
1t wasn't funny, but everybody laughed,
and the dog ran away with the spoon.
Mother hates that sort of thing. and
she positively refused to go, and every
thing was at skies and sevens until De
Wolf Hopper came in and said that, as
long as the three of them were there. it
would be useless to postpone the cleo
ton.
1t was terrible. But Madge took it like
soldier. She never said one word about
the chandelier, although everybody there
knew that Eddie had gone. On the con-
trary, she ran out TO the automobile and,
Skipping into the front seat, started the
engine, and In few minutes the whole
Jelly cake was done-it had not been
eaten by the mice at all,
You can imagine our surprise. We
had been led TO believe that the Ger
mans would not come, yet right over US
were those same twenty Zeppelins that
We had read about last Sunday | know
they were the same, for Madge's shoes
leaked and she needed new pair sadly.
The water everywhere was up TO ones
waist. Try as We would we could not get
the boat united. 1t must have been Peter
who left the monkey wrench just where
the boys would see il of course | did
what | could, and poor Madge tugeed
away at the oar, eXerting her last atom
Of strength.
Al last il gave way Another turn OF
the windlaSs and the whole mass began
to move. In another moment the entire
body OF Hindu literature came over the
side OF the defendant He was saved.
The WhiSkerS were gone.
With an exclamation of elasticity he
rushed toward the hegira and cut the
knot, releasing the partceps criminis
from the habeas corpus, and the day
was ours.
Oh! how good it was to hear the
bands playing, and the children shouting,
while every street car in town blew gayly
down the line Of ferryboats. and the gen
eral himself. taking a bit Of preserved
ginger from the duchess, smiled in his
dignfied way
few days afterward as we were all
seated in the gondola, the evergreen was
returned 10 us.
Ever since that time have steadily ad-
hcred 10 the promise | made 10 my teach
er. and never once have tasted the stuff.
trust this explanation is sufficient |
have read it TO Elda and she says it Is
perfectly clear.

What Do the Voters of
Detroit Intend to Do About
the Matter In November?

Detroit is in the grip Of an incompe
tent police department.
This police department, disorganlze,
and demoralized, has demonstrated ina
1t is unable to cope with the thugs. yegg
men. safe-bowers, pickpockets, burglars
gunmen and thieves and crooks Of every
description that have infested the city
attracted by the "wide-open' town ana
the growing prosperity Of the com
munity
The city where life is worth living
finds itself facing a situation that has no
parallel in the recent history of any city
in the country and that savors OF con
ditions that existed in the lawless west
in its widest, wooliest days.
Assassins. within the past few months,
have shot down Detroit citizens and es-
capped unpunished.
Yeggmen and 'petermen" have tun-
neled themselves into Detroit business
places, dynamited safes, looted stores
and made a safe getaway.
Bandits on the public highway in busy
sections of the city. with force Of arms,
have taken huge sums of money, the
property of Detroit business people.
Pickpockets have piled their sly, sneak
! ing trade, and still are plying it on De-
troit street cars and in Detroit public
places.
Thruout il all the police have shuf-
fed aimlessly and lifelessly about while
the parasites who have profted by the
police inefficiency are enjoying the fruits
Of their looting and laughing in their
sleeves at the wooden police department.
AS a result thruout the country De-
troit has a reputation as city where
everything goes. Detroiters travelling
, east, west, north and south, visiting
every section of the city. return with
word that the town where life was
worth living" is becaming known as the
city where a life is worth little"
To attempt TO recount all, or nearly
all. of the cases in which inefficient po-
lice protection and aimless police action
have left crime unsolved and criminals
unpunished within recent years would
be a gigantic task.
Some, within the past few months, are
excellent examples however, Of the sit
uation.
Last February, out on West Jefferson
ave, Joseph Kruzewsh a banker and
the father Of large family, standing in
the teller's cage in his bank, was shot
down by gunman in broad daylight.
Rudolph Snezek, young man with
whom IL was known Kruzewski had quar-
red. was tried for the crime and acquit-
ted.

SCHOOL CHILDREN JUST MISS
A FREEZE-UP-COAL SHORT
Three hundred schools in the city
are one day ahead of a freeze-up,
and if today were not the last day of
school before the Christmas vaca-
ton that number would probably
have to close up anyway. This stu
alton arose when coal contractors
forfeited their bonds of $4,000 be-
cause they could not buy coal to sell
to the schools as agreed. This $780,
900 is being used to buy in the open
market
When school cOnvenes in six days
engineers expect to have enough fuel
on hand to carry them through the
winter.
Rob't w. Childs, assistant attorney
general, handling a coal shortage in
vestigation, told the railroads that
unless 100000 tons of coal were de-
liVered Immediately there would be
extreme suffering in the city.

witness against a woman "Fagin,"
who, police charge, taught the child
to steal.
Gertrude EIilten, the Oliver Twist
of reality, has confessed, the police
say, to robbery of $1,000 from Capt,
Richard Verbugge of the Netherlands
army, the greater part of which she
is said to have turned over to her
''Fagin," Ruth Howard, "a, a cabaret
dancer.
The child said, according to the
police, she was introduced to Miss
Howard by a man she met in an ele-
waited train.
"She took me out and introduced
me to men," the police say she told
them, land taught me to rob them,
although 1 only robbed one"
But, like Oliver Twist, little Ger
trude did not want to steal. She held
back part of her gains and police say
she put money in a savings bank.
The arrest of the cabaret dancer
was made by Capt. Verbugge him
self, after he said he noticed her pass
a roll of bills to Gertrude, and the
little girl jumped from the automo-
bile in which they were riding.

Morgan City, La.
Dear Sir: ~~
Mr.. Foster has asked me to write
something for your paper concern
ing my visit north this summer, and,
incidentally. anything might want
to write. To do so is hardly in my
line but | recognize the right of the
publisher Of paper, especially a
daily in small city, to ask the cit
liens Of that city and surrounding
the news and matters OF interest TOR
locality to assist him in gathering
publication. Also, not only the priv
ilege but the duty of the citizens
who reside or are interested in the
progress and development Of their
city or locality to assist in present
ing to the public all that is Of inter-
est to the readers of their home pa
pers. Many are 10th to do this for
various reasons, and I must plead
guilty to nearly the whole indict-
ment.
No one or two can gather all the
news, but all can help. We want our
papers to prosper and like to see the
editor and publisher wear a real
smile and good clothes. Advertising
is paid for but people in small com
want something besides ads
to read. Of course, the average citi-
zen will probably tell you they don't
care about their neighbors affairs or
their comings or goings, but just the
same, call it interest or curiosity, !,

interest them is the very thing they
