A ship line, like a railroad, origi-
mates no traffic. 1t is only a car
rier. Remember how the long lines
of our trans-continentals were
thrown across the nation from sea
to sea, through vacant prairies
and silent forests and over the
barren mountain passes.
''Streaks Of rust" they would
have remained if the eager millions
of Europe had not settled and titled
the prairies, and if Eastern enter
prise had not built mills to convert
the wealth of the forest and built
mines to recover the treasure of
the mountains.
Then from mine, mill and farm
came the streams of traffic whose
interchange made this nation-and
incidentally the ans-continental
railroads-great and prosperous.
So it must be with our lines
upon the sea. They must be accom-.
panied by settlements of repre-
sentatives of our great manufac-
turers, our export and import mer-
chants, our bankers, our marine in
surance companies-in every port
of the world.

THE BLIGHT OF HATE

1t takes it'd toll, as sure as fate;
It's wrong to treasure hate, l think.
DUT when ! pay to see show.
II Assured my seats are down in front.
And find them in the eighteenth row
I let my angry passions flow.
And spill expressions that are blunt
IT'S wrong to be a crouch, to bear
A grudge that grows from day to day;
Hate never gets one anywhere:
II causes wrinkles, whitens hair.
And drives complacency away.
DUT when the driver of a truck
- Delays the car in which l ride,
l let my anger 90 amuck
And hope the hardest kind Of luck
May overtake him. darn his hide!
IT'S wrong, I know, to hope distress
l. May cause another's JOY to fade.
For those who cause unhappiness
Renounce the peace they might possess;
Hate claims a price that must be paid.

Police Needs
of the d. C..
BY BILL PRICE.

hSIOu TOlce department, re-
~ turning here from his visit to
the International Convention of Po-
lice Chiefs, held in San Francisco.
and from visits to many large West
ern cities, will ask the District Com
missioners to ask Congress for mod
ern equipment for his department.
Among these will be an armored
automobile, a sufficient number of
speedy automobiles for the detective
force to cope with criminals owning
high-powered machines, and the in
stallation of radio telephones in
each police station house to provide
instantaneous communication.
These things, and others, we
should have right now, because they
are essential to quick and effective
police work, but how long will it
be before we get themi
If Washington people controlled
their own local affairs-elected
their own Commissioners and pro-
vided' for their own strictly local
needs-the equipment of the Wash
ington Police Department could be
brought up to date in few months.
City councils in every other Amer
lean city hold regular meetings, and
when there is an urgent municipal
need they promptly pass the neces-
sary ordinances.
We will take a peep at what the
process will be here Chief Sulli-
van will make recommendations to
the District Commissioners as to
the needs of his department. The
Commissioners will consider these
recommendations and, in December
next, will submit to Congress their
recommendations.
The honorable Congress will. then
be gathering in regular session. The
District recommendations will 60
before it and be dealt with in most
leisurely, unconcerned fashion. The
probabilities are quite strong that
the Congressional committees han
ding District problems and the two
houses of Congress will not find the
recommendations of Chief Sullivan,
as transmitted by the Commits
siOners, even worth botherine about,
but if kindly and favorably in
clined, the recommendations will be
slowly enacted into law, and the
necessary money will be available
at the beginning of the fiscal year
1924, that is, after July l, 1923.
That is a sample of what regu-
larly happens to Washington
affairs, through the great national
Congress attempting to pass upon
the simplest of local needs, about
which its members care absolutely
nothing. This utter indifference ex-
plains why the requirements of
Washington receive so little atten-
tion in Congress.
What the Police Department
needs NOW it may get more than
year from now; it may not get it at
all.
Modern criminals own swift au-
tomobiles, with which they seek
liberty when pursued by local
detectives or policemen, who are
equipped with out-of-date machines.
There is only one new machine in
the whole department today. That
was a gift from the Semmes Motor
Company, which presented Dodge.
The law forbade the acceptan.e of
this, and so the Semmes Company
nominally retains title. The ma
chine is even kept in repair by the
donors.
That is a bitter commentary on
the relations Of Congress to the Dis
trict. The one modern automobile
the Police Department of the Ma
tional Capital has was the gift of
wide-awake private concern.

When Brokers Fail

0NE after another stock brokers
fail, and their victims lose
~ their money. Perhaps they
might as well lose it through failure
of a brokerage house as in any
other way. They would lose it any
how if they kept on gambling.
But the failure of an irresponsi-
bic bucket shop and other institu-
tions is harmful to firms that are
reputable and that are needed in
the transaction of business.
In France if one stock broker
fails all the .other members of the
Bourse are responsible and must
make good his loss. In dealing with
any authorized French broker on
the Bourse you cannot lose your
money by his failure.
We probably could not arrange
that on an American stock ex-
change. But why could not a hun
dred or more brokers, if there are
that many that have confidence in
