McNally,' $ Appointment

Members of the police department and citi-
Gems generally are well satisfied with the decis-
ion of the board of police commissioners in select
ing First Sergeant McNally as chief of police.
McNally has been with the department for about
nineteen years. He knows police work, is popu-
lar with the officers, and has the confidence and
respect of the citizens.
The board showed good judgment in promot-
ing man from the ranks instead Of selecting a
civilian, ignorant of police work and methods.
The morale of police department is greatly en-
HANGED when executive positions are given to Of
ficers who know the work instead of civilians
whose only claim to the job is political pull. The
selection of McNally is happy one.

PATH OF GOLD
(By Amelia Josephine Burr.]

A path Of gold-oh. build it quick and
straight
For naercy's feet to tread!
There is no time to wait
Each minute pulses red
From Freedoms wounded heart.
Make haste to do your part!
Swift as they are, your gifts will be too late
To help the dead.
But there are those who live, whom you can
A little Of the agony they bear
For you-that's true; have you not thought
how true?
For you.
These, who have learned how much body and
soul endure,
Their church-bells were as sweet as ours,
Their xardens were as glad with flowers,
Their women were as pure.
Their children sang and laughed and played
As merry and as unafraid-
O little heads bowed on the desks as though
The lesson being hard, you fell asleep!
We shudder and we weep-but tears are
cheap.
More. more than tears must pay the debt we
owe
To those whose bleeding breasts have been
our shield,
A wall that will not yield.
God knows this moment is too deep for hate
The hour is great, it calls US to be great
Our hand shall comfort him whom it must
strike
For wounded friend and wounded foe alike
A path of gold! Oh, build it quick and
straight!
