POLICE AND THE PEOPLE.

There would seem to be little sig
nificance IN the story of the police
men who, ending their ball in Roches-
ter. n. Y, found that all the choicest
wraps, furs and overcoats had been
stolen from the cloakroom. In fact
there is little significance in it at
present. The policemen of the coun-
try are splendid men for the most
part they are regarded as friends
by most of the people in a city of
this size, for instance. In many in
stances their kindness is marked and
their sympathy with suffering is al
most unfailing. They are the friends
of the people as well as their pro-
tectors And this is the way most
policemen would have it. They have
their duty to perform and the people
realize that it is best for everyone
concerned that they perform those
duties thoroughly and impartially.
But will the Legislators of the coun-
try allow this happy condition to con-
tinue to exist? The present trend of
legislation, inspired in a great meas
urc by over-zealous people, seems to
be to so limit the liberties of the or
binary individual that the statute
books are in danger of being clut-
tered up with laws of which not only
the people but also the police disap-
prove. Under such state of affairs
it would not be long before the po-
lice, forced to arrest people for
breaking some unpopular new law,
would no longer be friends and pro-
tectors of the people, liked and un-
derstood by the people, but rather
they would be the personal repre-
sentatives OF government considered
tyrannical and oppressive, and, as
such representatives, they would be
hated and dcspiscd. If such condi-
lions ever arose, as they would were
the present tendency to continue, life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
in this country would be far different
from what it has been in the past,
and more serious offenses against the
police would be recorded in the news
than that they had been robbed.
This is the tendency of legislation
that is a menace.

PROBATION,

Whether or not putting offenders
against the law on probation Is a
good plan IL matter Of constant dis
cnsslon. The quarterly report OF
Probation Officer II. C. Connolly.
therefore, is valuable as showing how
It worked out for three months.
In the first three months of this
year Al people who had been placed
on probation behaved properly and
were released when their probation
airy periods expired, There were
three who violated the terms of their
probation and were re-arrested. The
obvious meaning is that Al persons
who had done wrong and who had
been summoned to court because of
that wrong, led proper lives. went
about their business, and are prob
ably today better fitted to be the
right sort of people than they would
have been had they served their sem
fences in confinement. They have not
the memory of Illuminating imprison-
ment to cast shadow over their fu-
ture lives, while they have shown, by
their obedience to the terms of their
probation, that the appreciated the
lesson. Only three have shown that
they failed to realize the importance
of good behavior
II it may be granted that it is
better to develop character from
within than to develop character by
force, then surely these figures tend
to substantiate the claim that the
probation system works we'll in prac-
tice The situation is worthy of
thought and the possibility of further
developing the probation system is
worthy of consideration.

Well, of course we have all rushed

THE DANGER or FEAR.

Any physician will tell us that the
person who is always afraid of being
sick will be more apt 10 become Ill
than the person who never fears 1t.
Any football player will tell us that
the chap who is afraid of being hurt
is the one who Is injured. And Coue

coming or is present will tend to

cannot do a thing or imagines that
a certain thing is dangerous for him,
it will be dangerous.
In connection with the death of the
late Lord Carnarvon an interesting
fact has come to light, to which the
foregoing applies. 1t seems that al
ways has he been in fear of the bite
of a mosquito-and it was through
the poison of such a bite that his
uedIl came. IL Is SalQ OF MIN Indl
he once remarked that never. so long
as he lived, would he remain five I'M
necessary minutes in a place where
he was liable to be bitten by mos
quito, If it be granted that per-
sons mental state affects him phys
ically and makes him better or less
able to fight off disease, it is far more
possible to believe, as Coue undoubt-
eddy will believe, that Lord Car
narvon, having been bitten by the in
sect he dreaded, was less strong men
tally to fight against the poison, than
it is to put any faith in the super
stitions of many that he was killed
by some mysterious malady resulting
from his opening the tomb of the
ancient Egyptian King.

"KTII,-JOYS."

There are certain people in the
world who are honestly disturbed by
the means others take to enjoy them
selves. They are worried about those
pleasure-seekers: they believe, sim
cerely, that the people having fun
are doing wrong-as many OF them
may be. In colloquial language they
are called kill joys Science has
other names for them, and explains
why such people feel as they do, be-
ing absolutely physically and men
tally uncomfortable because they see
others enjoying themselves in certain
ways.
The enjoyment condemned by such
critics ranges all the way from down
right abandonment to the sins Of
the flesh and the devil" down to
what many believe to be innocent
pleasures The "kill-joys," to use the
popular word, or the 'reformers" as
they sometimes become, are really
not to blame, according to science,
for their attitude. They are the pos
SCISSORS of the sort of a complex that
makes them like that" And science
explains the reason for all this. Sim
ply stated it is to the effect that such
unfortunate people are made un-
happy by seeing others enjoy the
things they would like to indulge in
themselves and would like to enjoy
but which they cannot, for one rea-
son or another, indulge in or enjoy.
The "kill-ioys'' may not be physically
unable to participate in certain pleas
ures he or she denounees; he may be
afraid to; or his conscience, having
taken peculiar twist. may prevent
his enjoying that thing although. in
fact, there may be no harm in it.

should bring out the facts in such
way that means may be found to
