Think About This
The man with no eraser on his pencil is apt to
be more careful what he writes.-Paragrafs.
The Ratio

Ten per cent of the Chicago police depart
ment is crooked, but for every crooked policeman
there are 500 crooked citizens, said speaker be-
fore the Committee of Fifteen in Chicago yes
terday.
The proportion is substantially correct, we be-
lieve. Policemen may be crooks, grafters and
social parasites, but citizens often make police
men exactly what they are.
A policeman has hard task even under the
most ideal conditions. Usually the crowd is with
the law violator in dispute between an arrest
ing officer and an offender. Perhaps that is due
to the national tendency Of the American always
to take the side of the under dog
If a police officer is compelled to use his mace
to subdue an unruly and obstreperous offender,
some overzealous apostle of sympathy rushes to
the newspapers with a fearful story of cruel and
ungentlemanly policeman beating violator with
out the slightest provocation.
We seem to forget that often peace cannot be
upheld and order maintained unless the arresting
officer uses club to subdue an unruly violator
Usually policeman defers beating an offend
er until it is absolutely necessary. The police
know that the citizens too often censure them
uncharitably and without good cause, the result
being that they are extremely careful in using
violence.
The Chicago report indicating that ten per
cent of the police force is crooked indicates that
remedial changes necessary there. The po-
lice department of city must be maintained at
the highest state of efficiency not only as to it's
personnel but also as to it's integrity and hon
esty. crooked policeman is the worst menace
city can have. The law abiding citizen is in con-
slant dread of blackmail and the imposition of
graft. He can not trust the very agency that is
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1917-05-17

to maintain order and to eradicate evil in all
forms.
Cities Of the size of Richmond keep close
watch on their police. Tendencies that make for
blackmail, graft, and other insidious practices
are quickly curbed by public opinion Conditions
may sometimes reach the status found in few
Indiana cities, but courageous exposure always
brings the delinquent officers to trial The old
rule "you cannot be crooked and get away with
it," applies to the police department well as to
the evil doer.

No wonder circus can charge such
a nominal admission, the reason being
that the crowd doesn't see everything

concert seat sellers shut off the view

PURE BRED STOCK
GIVEN TO SCHOOL

Several of Americas most substan-
tial citizens, who have come to realize
the good work being done by the
Americas Institute, have made very
substantial donations to the stock
farm being conducted by this colored
educational institute on its farm Of
sixty acres Just outside Of the city
limits.
n. A. Ray recently gave to the school
fine Berkshire gilt, while Frank La
nier has also donated a Duroc gilt, c.
C. Hawkins, who is very much inter
ested in the work, has given a Duroc
boar. All of these animals are regis
tered stock and make valuable addi
tons to the farm.
Besides giving the students of the
Institute actual training in stock-rais-
ing, the school teaches them agricul-
ture from every angle and the actual
work of planting and cultivation is
done by them. M. w. Reddick, the
president of the institution, and to
whom is due much credit for the sue
cess which it has attained, states that
they have seven acres planted this year
in sweet potatoes, besides good crops
O. corn and peas.
During the regular school term all
of the work is done by, the students,
and during vacation, several of them
remain at the school and are paid for
their services, and in that way they
help to pay for their tuition. The
state pays the salary of farm dem
onstrator, who gives instruction to
those attending the school.
In addition to the agricultural side
Of the school, manual training, do
nestle science, domestic art and music
are taught, besides the three RS" a
rural public school supervisor, whose
salary is paid through the Anna T.
Jeanes Foundation, regularly super
vises the industrial work done at this
and other institutions of like charac-
ter in this county.
Industrial education has long been
recognized as one of the most import
ant factors in the making of good citi-
zens, of both races, and the presence
OF such an institution as The Americas
Institute in community os a valuable
asset.

GRATIFYING RESULTS NOTED
AS RESULT OF CONFERENCE

ATLANTA, Ga, August Very
practical and very gratifying results
already are flowing out of the recent
conference between the railroads and
various Atlanta trade bodies for the
purpose of conserving freight car sup
ply, and it is stated by the railroads
that they have begun to note very
marked effect on car supply even at
this early date, although the confer
ence was held only four days ago.
The average capacity of the Ameri-
can railroad freight car is forty tons,
but the average load is only seventeen
tons, or only 43 per cent. of the capa-
city, while 81 per cent. of capacity goes
to waste. The average time of loading
ard unloading freight cars is four days
for each car each trip. This appalling
economic waste, due mainly to social

German steamers will be put, will be
either in inter-island traffic or in the
sea trade between the Philippines and
the China coast, the insular govern
ment has in mind the possibility of
employing one of the vessels, perhaps,
in trade between the islands and Spain.
There is a population of close to TO-
600 Spaniards in the Philippines. They
alone provide market for many
Spanish products.
Meanwhile, work on the larger Ger
man steamers is proceeding rapidly.
Two already have sailed. The outfit
ting of so many vessels and in so short
a time has exhausted the supplies Of
naval stores in Manila and of the
China coast. Some vessels may have
t. wait for the arrival of these stores
from the United States. The manning
0 so many vessels and in so short a
time, has exhausted the supply of sail
ors in the Philippines, as well as ships
officers. To fill the ranks of the sail
ors it is probable that some of the
vessels will recruit Chinese crews in

fences of the trade, is a tremendous
extravaganza in time of peace, and in
var it threatens the safety of the ma
ton if continued
Here are some of the way in which
Atlanta shippers and receivers of
freight are undertaking to aid the
railroads in making the car supply
perform an increased transportation
service:
Loading of commodities to full ca
pfcity; ignoring trade units" and in
sisting that orders be filled to full ca
pacity of car; clubbing together and
ordering full cars where no single
dealer can handle a car lot; insisting
that the retail trade buy in car lots, or
club together and buy in car lots; spec
flying that a small car will suffice,
when it will, so that a large car will
not be furnished unnecessarily; load
ing cars as soon as they are placed;
specifying sidetrack locations in billing
instructions, so as to avoid wasted time
II 'hold" yards; unloading cars
promptly on arrival; preaching the
gospel of the car lot to customers.

REPAIRING GERMAN SHIPS
TAKEN IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

MANILA, August THE first of the
smaller of the Communicated German
vessels in the Philippines to approach
the completion Of her repairs will be
put into commission within two or
three days, to be followed by two more
soon thereafter
These three vessels probably will be
the first of the inter-isIand fleet which
the Philippines government expects to
establish with the seized vessels. The
20 steamers seized in the Philippines
a, the time of the rupture of relations
with Germany had an aggregate ton
