THE POLICEMAN.

Everyone feels at liberty to critl-
else and abuse the policeman, says
the Peoria Star. He is variously ac-
cused Of drunkenness, Of grating, of
laziness and nearly everything else in
the calendar When the vaudeville
performers spring a Joke about the
police in this town" the entire audi
ence bursts into laughter The police
man is the Joke and the butt of ev-
eryone's wit, and yet, when we are
in trouble whom do we turn to first?
The policeman! When we hear a
mysterious noise around the house at
midnight, whom do we call-the
much -despised policeman. When we
are at loss for the name Of street
the policeman is appealed to. The
mother with her babe appeals to the
policeman to help her across the
street and he does so kindly courte-
ously. He helps the women and chill
dren by crowded traffic corners.
In short, he does everything for
everybody and his reward is abuse
and complaint. If the newspaper
writer is at loss for a subject he at
tacRs the police department and the
reading public applauds, No one ever
thinks Of the dark hours Of the night
when in the cold and rain the patient
officer is pacing his beat, protecting
the lives and property of the public
or the times when he takes his life
in his hands arresting marauders and
desperate men; OF the countless acts
of heroism that are performed by po-
licemen every day In the year
Remember, the next time you feel
like abusing the policeman, that he
is human, like yourself. That he has
the same hopes and aspirations that
you have, and that he appreciates
praise and good words just as much
as you do. 1t will make a better
policeman Of him If you will do this
and let him know It.

by the presidents secretary, Mr..
Tumulty who used a part Of his
Christmas holidays in a trip to Tren-
ton to proclaim the glad tidings of
peace among New Jersey Democrats.
His words fell on deaf ears. Two
factions We're too fun of fight to be
pacfied-and in addition the anti
Wilson party is looking beyond the
election of next fall. They frankly
express their doubts of Democratic
success, and they are looking out for
number one. Wilson will not be re-
elected, they argue he may not even
be renominated. After his defeat he
will go to New York to live, en-
gaging in literary work-unless he de-
cides to 60 into the Jewelry business
in Washington. At any rate, he will
be through with New Jersey, but we
shall still be here There will con-
tnue to be some local political spoils
worth having. There will be some
Democratic mayors, some Democratic
members Of the legislature, some
Democratic appointments to state
boards, the courts and the like. The
plums will 20 to whoever controls
the party organization, and we intend
to be those fortunate persons. If we
surrender to the Wilson crowd now
they will control the party after Will
sons defeat and they will enjoy the
fruits of political manipulation which
may fall to the minority party.
Mr., Tumulty argued diligently to
enforce the presidents authority, but
he was unable to convince the recall
citrants that Wilson is to be sec
winner. Accordingly, the
most he could accomplish was the
formation of this unique arrangement
Of political holding company, with
the stock split fifty-fifty between
Wilson and his enemies The New
Jersey delegates at st. Louis will be |
for Wilson, of course, If he is a can
dicate-but the Democratic party in |
New Jersey is no longer for Wilson.

DEMOCRACY FOR " FOREIGNERS
FIRST.

Preaching America First" and
practicing Foreigners First" is a
policy that will embarrass the Demo-
Gratis when they come to defend their
record next fall. In the ten months
Of Democratic tariff rates preceding
the outbreak of the war our imports
of meat and dairy products increased
to f40,545,0O0, as compared with s12.-
$4,000 In the corresponding ten
months under the Republican tariff.
Imports under Democratic policies
were more than three times as great
as under Republican policies. We
gave the foreigners greater access to
our markets, and yet the cost of liv-
ing did not decrease The American
farmer is forgetful of some things,
but he will remember these figures
when he makes. up his mind how to
vote next November. The figures are
from official reports.

WILSON IN NEW JERSEY.

Word comes from New Jersey that
a committee of ten Democrats-five
Wilson men and five anti Wilson men
has been formed to discuss and II
possible to dispose Of the problems
which divide the party in that state.
The equal division Of the committee
membership is taken to indicate that
the presidents opponents at home are
as numerous as his friends, and II

coming from New Jersey for some
time past.
