that progression forward through the
scale will be uaifotm. Advancement
will BE mdre rapid in some parts Of
the service than in others, and perhaps
more frequent between certain classes

lished there will be a constant crea-
ton of vacancies at the top of the

ployes will have gone forward steadily
in the course of yeats to the higher

denee both Of the poIieb. fsrce sad os
the community. Whether such 4 man
will be found within the ranks Of the
organisation as at present constituted
is for the Comm issiohefs to determine.
Their effort, however, should first be
to find such man, for it is highly de-
sirable that after long period in
which superintendents have been named
from outside the appointment should
be made through promotion. Several
names have been proposed of members
of the force whose records warrant the
belief that if advanced to the chief
ship they will satisfactorily discharge
the duties. All of these are men of
extended experience and they all have
the strong backing of the force. If.
however. the Commissioners cannot find
a maj, who measures up in all respects
to the requirements of the office. and
whose appointment will meet with the
m bstantial and sincere approval of the
force. they most look outside for a
superintendent. In this case there are
several men in view. some with former
police experience and some with mill
tary training. What is primarily want
ed is a good administrator, who can
handle the force as a whole effectively,
maintain the high standard to which
it has developed and deal justly with
the personnel. at the same time inspir-
ing the public with confidence that
the police organization is at all times
doing its best for the protection of
the city and the preservation of pescc.
Such man can assuredly be found
in the wealth of material from which
the Commissioners have now to make
their selection.

Assured Promotions.

In extension of the principle of sys.
tematic promotions the reelassifcatien
commission has decided to make the
lowest salary in each higher class high
er than the highest salary in each
lower class. Thus, if clerk should
pass from the typist class to thst above
his pay at the lowest grade Of the
higher classification would be in ad.
vance of the largest salary paid in the
group he has just left. Otherwise, adj
vancement from one class to another
would entail demotion, while offering
opportunities for eventual increase in
pay beyond the possibility Of the
lower elaAs.

In one report Of the conferences OF
the railroad brotherAoods held in this

of the brotherhood of Maintenance of

issuing the recent strike caH had hurt
the workers cause materially. He
characterized that sort of thing as
'damning as in the eyes of the people,

Here is a man of correct observa-
ton. He appreciates the value of pub
lie sympathy. He recognizes the fact
that without that sympathy no cause
can win in this country. The people
are the source of power. # they are
with you, you are certain to win; If
against you, you are certain to lose.
Their friendship is everything. Every
cause needs it in its business. No
strike has ever been won against pab-
lie sympathy. and, fortunately for all,
none ever will be.
The public Is waking ap in the mat
ter of strikes and loekouts. 1t is find

covering its rights. and developing the
courage to assert them.

the ball to rolling. The members OF

took charge. And yet it was tie Bos-

men their salaries. Having forfeited
thus the friendship Of the town, they
went into the discard, and deserved
their fate.
The coal strike was rapidly develop
ing public indignation when the sane
men among the leaders Of the miners
assisted in bringing it to an end. Had
the program, which had for its object
freezing the public and haltihg its in
dustries at the beginning Of winter, been
carried much further. the miners would
have found themselves facing indig-
nation in very determined form. The
law of self-preservation would have
gone into operation with a bang.
The threats of general strike Of
railroad empleyes-particulafly train
men-have attracted just enough at
tention to indicate how the public
would feel and act in such case. It is
inconceivable that the people of the
country would stand for the paralysis
Of transportation even for the brlefest
period. Their physical health and the
health of business would be involved.
A means of relief would have to be,
and would be, provided; and the losers
in the end would be those who had
shown such signal and selfish disre.
gard of their duty as citizens-had
shown a willingness to sacrifice the
public interests in an effort to promote
their private interests.
The strike is not the right weapon
for either the coal miners or the rail.
road men. They can achieve all rea-
sonable and legitimate aims by ether
means.
