WHY?

hHOST of us have known Main street. We
lvl know the familiar hgures-the fat old
sheriff who also deals in real estate, the town
constable whose chief worries concern the activi-
ties of mischeivous boys the village parson and
the village priest who kindly enough old souls
and hate only each other, the simpleton whom
the high schools boys plague, the town drunkard,
the spinster tattetale, the editor of the county
weekly who also is job printer and notary
public, the civil veterans, the home town base
ball team, the merry undertaken, the high school
maids and the girl just home from college with
exalted ideas of civic uplift until she meets and
marres some doodle who is foreman in the tack
factory.
Most of us have known, at some time an
other, the sleepy cang of the village church bells
Sabbath mornings the thrill of the fire alarm
when some shed catches ablaze and all the popu-
lace, male and female, assemble for war; the
threadbare philosophers who settle the affairs of
the world in lodge on lazy winter
afternoons; the little boys and girls all dressed in
spotless white first communion Sunday
Most of have known, at one time an
other, the first Monday forenoon after Lent when
the whole village was filled with bridal parties;
the life insurance agent and his rusty "hivver; >;
the night the constable picked up hungry tramp,
let him sleep in the fire engine house until morning
and gave him square meal from his table;
the three days when the village Grange
members gave up their work and harvested
Widow Smiths hay crop out of the goodness Of
their hearts, the parade in celebration of the
ffteth anniversary of the towns incorporation
when Congressman Jones and Rev. Mr.. Brown,
two native sons, made stirring speeches with
tears in their eyes.
Most of are inclined to thank God for
such villages, where is to be found the heart and
soul of America-the faith and the charity of the
American people.
Such town, with a few little changes in the
picture here and there, is Rockville, Md, Freder-
icksburg, Va, Charles Town, w. Va Oxford, Pa,
Hightstown N. J., Keene, N. H., Southbridge,
Mass.
Can you imagine the people of such town
going mad all of sudden? Can you imagine
those quaint old philosophers in the village lodge
room seized with an unappeasable thirst for hu-
man blood? Can you imagine the familiar Main
street figures changed in the twinklng Of an
eye into incarnate hends?
Such town. few days ago, Herrin, Ill.

Detective Serreant,.

THERE is legally such rank as detective
i sergeant in the metropolitan police depart
ment. The men who bear such titles by courtesy
are, in fact, only privates They be transferred
to precinct stations and made to patrol beats any
time they incur the displeasure of officials This
is unjust situation.
Take Detective Sergeant Sandberg for instance.
This is, perhaps, the cleverest hnger-print
expert in the world He certainly is one of the
best known and most successful in the United
States. He has spent many years perfecting him
self in this branch of criminology. Through his
skill many battling crimes in this branch of
criminology Through his skill many battling
crimes in the District of Columbia have been
solved the innocent cleared and the guilty punished
Yet he still ranks as private. His skill has
received substantial recognition from District
authorities
In New York or Chicago Mr.. Sandberg would
be at least a captain. He probably would have
higher rank. In Washington, except for the cour-
tesy of his associates, he has risen no higher than
the most ignorant policeman on patrol duty.
Washington, we learn, is to have the national
bureau of criminal identification. Finger-prnt work
will play important part in the activities OF
this bureau. Why should not Washington man
be placed in charge? We suggest Mr.. Sandberg.
Just how difficult fnger-print investigation is
only the expert say. There reputable
amateurs IN this held. 1t IS all a mystery to
the ordinary citizen. 1t looks, to the uninitiated,
at least as difficult as Greek, mathematics or
ancient Hebrew. The man who has mastered its
intricaces should least be raised to professional
status
A detective sergeant, we understand, is merely
a policeman on special duty OF some kind He
receives extra pay, it is true but he can be set
back without charges and without trial according
to the whim OF his superior officers.
Why cannot the Commissioners establish such
a rank officially? If this is impossible why can
they not give the present detective sergeants rank
of leutenants captains? should have
some reward to work for except an uncertain
bonus for special service.
Mr.. Sandberg appears at present the most strik-
ing example OF the injustice of the present system.
There are doubtless others. The District cannot
be proud of such condition in its police depart
ment. Experts cannot be attracted to the service
unless change is made.

Worth of Primaries.

To the Editor. The washington Herah:
1t Is with a feeling of apprehen-
sion that / read the article in The
Herald headed &c. o. P. Leade. \
Turn Guns on Primary Law" an
amazing account of the stand taken
in public utterances by three
people-Secretary of War Weeks,
Secretary of Labor Davis and Gen.
Pershing. The heading does not
reveal the full import of the public
ly-expressed opinions of these three
men who. in effect, tell US that the
American people are unit to choose
those who are to represent them in
official positions.
In a speech at the western Re-
serve University. Cleveland. Secre-
tary Weeks warns US Of an i'm
pending social democracy, and pro-
tests against the direct primary
and initiative and referendum. He
Is reported to have said that the
people have the power to elect too
many officials to administrative Of
fces. Secretary Davis sees red

clared the impracticability" of ex-

ception of Lincoln's expression.

Witnessing the recent dedication

iticiansT Three Of the more prom
inent present on that occasion

Test of Greatness.
To tn. Editor. rhe Washington ner,l

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The crucial test Of the White
House is being applied to a man
with whom the nation at large is
but slightly acquainted. Viewed
from different angles. he is praised,
blamed and rioiculed. Ri6!cu,e some =
times accomplishes a mans Appar-
ctt overthrow when honest iisa,-
rrorsl OF his policies fails. The
great. unthinking mass OF partiSsns
comprehend ii better. l say the "ap-
parent overthrow" for no man can
be completely overthrown who
places his trust in God and Is led
by His spirit. President Harding
is making his own place in the his
tory Of the nation, and his utter
ances and calm. patient demeanor in
the face Of trying circumstances
assure US that his place will not
be low one. The way a man bears
up under the "slings and arrows
Of enemies and supposed friends is
true measure OF his greatness.
Abraham Lincoln furnishes a
brilliant example for the encourage
ment of the present Executive. No
one has as yet sent him such a
memorandum as Lincoln received
from his Secretary Of State. VIM. II.
Seward. during the first month of
his administration, which has been
summarized as follows:
After a months trial. you. Mr..
Lincoln, are a failure as President.
The country is in deepest straits
and must use a desperate remedy.
Some new man must take
the Executive helm and WELD the
undivided Presidential authority. I
should have been nominated at Chi
csgo and elected in November, but
l am willing now to take your
place and perform your duties"
Lincoln was a big enough man to
cope with this remarkable situation.
He pigeonholed the document and
no one knew OF Il until twenty-five
years later, but from that time on
the Cabinet had a master.
Some time later Secretary Seward
wrote: There is but one vote IN
the Cabinet. and that is cast by
President Lincoln"

the result of lessenins party feal-
fy."
In Secretary Weeks we have an
official who. through his affiliation
with powerful financial institu-
tions In the past, has become sat
urated with the only viewpoint of
which his circle of intImates are
capable-that the machinery of
government should be manipulated
chiefly for the financial and indus
trial elect. Naturally he thinks
that the people Of Massachusetts
showed poor Judgment In not re-
turning him to the Senate in an
early test Of the direct primary. 1t
Is conclusive evidence to him that
the people are not capable Of choos-
ing their own representatives and.
therefore. the direct primary and
initiative and referendum should be
repealed.
