DECLARES ADEQUATE
POLICE PAY NEEDED
Walsh of Massachusetts, Tells Po-

Service Demands Compensation.
IIKENED TO SOLDIERS
Plans Memorial Exercises at Cen.
tral High in June.

The public has right to expect
honesty. efficiency and loyalty from
the members of the police department
and in return should expect to pay
FOR this service a salary commen
surate with the factors involved
Senator David I. Walsh of Mass2chu
setts declared at a meeting of the
Policemen's Association in Pythian
Temple last night.
He advocated higher pay for all forms
of public service. The wives of police"
men should not be compelled to go
about making apologies for their per
sonal appearance, due to the meager
wages dealt out to their husbands, he
said, characterizing the policemen as
soldiers of service, upon whom every
demand is made in peace times which
is imposed on soldiers In war time.
They are forced to go out and incur
attacks which are meant for those
whom they are sworn to protect, he
explained
Congress should be more liberal in
it's appropriations for public officials.
he added, for by so doing the high
est type of personnel would be at
traCted to the police force. thus set
ting the example in the Nations Cap
ital that all other cities should be
proud to pattern after.
Wide streets and smooth paving
make Washington'S traffic problem
difficult the senator said. Were the
streets narrow and 'bumpy there
would he few infractions of the speed
laws he added.
Tells of Oil Case.
Senator Walsh explained the oil
case from the time of its discovery
TO the present. He outlined the
part played by every individual con-
nected with the scandal and said that
II was the duty of the minority party
to see TO the honesty OF the party in
power. whether it he republican or
democratic.
The association instructed {. J. +.
Weber. chairman OF the memorial
committee, to arrange for placing Il
wreath at the District building on
Decoration day in memory of other
officers. The association also de-
cided to hold memorial services at
Central High School early in June,

Will be invited. The superintendent

By ". CURES NICHOLSON

James Yenoham: Please advise in your interesting articles with regard to the fol- lowing: Where did you get your business ability? I suppose from the management of such men as Bill and me. Should this not be, Bill and I'?"
 Answer: Yes. If you express the com plete thought, you have the following: ...... of such men as Bill and I are.
 To Settle an Argument.
 Mrs. Frank Myers, Lapier, Mich.: "In your paper you have space called 1.-The Right Word" by w. Curtis Nicholson.
 "A man wrote letter to a Lapeer bank, in which he used the words fall and spring with capital letters. He used these words in the sense that he would do certain things this fall and next spring. An argument ensued. Local authorities were consulted, saying it was a justifiable mistake.
 If Mir. Nicholson is an authority, could you get his opinion for me?
 Also, why are the names of the seasons not capitalized as we'll as the days of the week or months of the year!'
 Answer: The seasons, spring, summer, autumn lfalD, and winter( should not be capitalized. It aint done.
 Favorable Mention
 Sallie Upton of Spokane had only three mistakes in the recent test and should there fore receive favorable mention.

ready ben revised on this basis. We cer- tainly cannot agree with that statement In 1916 a partial revision only was ef- fected, and more recently the rate struc- ture in the entire Mississippi Valley has been revised on this basis, but not throughout the Southeast. And it is just this partial revision that is causing par ticular trouble in some quarters.
 MT. Mapother's road had an oppor- tunity in July of last year to carry out a helpful revision along this line on about six important commodities, but we under stand, when the rates on grain and grain products were reached, MT. Mapother's road decided it would be to its interest to withdraw from participating in this traffic to the Gulf ports by the direct route rather than make the reductions in rates to the interior points in Alabama and elsewhere that would have been necessary. We understand that Mont gomery, Birmingham and Selma interests have attacked the resulting situation with formal complaints which have been heard by the federal commission but on which no decision has been rendered..
 The Age-Herald has been glad to ex- tend MT. Mapother the space necessary to present his side of the case, but the chief result has been to present this news paper with an opportunity to restate its position more emphatically and at length than before

Watching The Parade
DEoPLE say that Ed Hurley is drinking
By JOHN PILGRIM

nEOPLE say that Ed Hurley is drinking
 too much His face is little too red and his eyes too watery and his saluta- tion bit too jovial. But I'm not the one who is going to Ed and argue with him. Per hans I have different slant at Eds case than have the other folks in this town.
 T guess" Ed said once, I'm congenltal drunkard. The love for liquor was born Tn me-" -.s
 We spent several years in pretty close contact. For months he would be the mer- riest, best natured, most industrious Indian on the job. Then he would begin to get sul- len and silent and irritable. When he was finally whipped by his appetite he would go away and waflow in booze
 "It's a safety valve, somehow" he said.
 Then his brother died and left fool of widow and two little children. He had never cared for the brother particularly, for the brother used to lecture him about his faults. No one else appeared to take charge of the bereaved family and so Ed did. For fifteen years he has ben cold sober. He gave the two kids an education and found them jobs. The fool of a widow married fool of man long ago. She hardly saw her children after she found her man.
 q figured" Ed said the other day. "that I was entitled to little let-up. The Klos are all right now"
 He played the game the way he saw it and if he wants to take a few too many drinks now, I'll not say no. I'm sorry, of course. He may ultimately die in the ditch. But I'll not worry a hero because now and then he slips.

As previously stated, the carriers are elim- mating, just as fast as possible, the remain ing high water and other competitive rates, which are lower than to intermediate non competitive points, and are proceeding to put them on strictly "dry-land" or normal basis. So far as practicable, this revision is being accomplished by changes in the rates which will do no more, or less, than preserve the existing general level of revenue. In this they need te helpful cooperation of the pub lie service bodies, the shippers and the pub lie generally.
 Again, desire to express regret for this rather lengthy communication and my only excuse is desire that you and your patrons, who are also our patrons, shall have the benefit of the facts in the matter as we see them
