CHANGING THE BEATS

Putting some of the night police men on day beats will suit the buacoats who are on night duty continuously but in the case of the police force such a system cannot be made perfect for the reason that many more policemen of nc ccssiiy are on duty at night than in the daytime. Tine trolley com pany has a system by which its men draw lots ever so often, both as to hours of duty and the trolley liucs upon which motormen arc to work This system is in force through the wishes of the men themselves. If thc police dc partmcnt adopts a somewhat simi- lar plan it would not necessarily mean a loss Of discipline The vet crans Of the service, however. should in all cases be kept on day duty.

4 WIDOW GOES A-WOOING Dear Editor:
 l have just learned Some news that made me jingle lis that you're handsome, very
 smart, i And that you still are single! You are the very type of man Of whom l have been dreaming.

Twice widowed in my life I've been; I'd not be amateurish- I'd know just how to handle you When you felt peeycd or boorish. You need wife to smooth your
 brow When carking cares assail you; In that respect you may be sure That I would never fail you. I'm healthy and I'm strong enough, Should you get sick and puny, To earn the living for us both What say you?
 Yours,

DROUGHT IN THE HOUSE

The Waterbury Republican, radi- cally dry, Is at pains to tell its readers that the House of Repre- sentativcs has shown its colors on the prohibition question once again. For the first time this scs- sion a question involving the pro- hibition issue came before the House Tuesday," says that paper. "A roll call vote was taken on q proposal to eliminate from the sec ond deficiency bill an appropriation of S2,6S6,760, providing for 906 ad- dilonal dry agents. The vote was 2i6 to B 10 reject the proposal. This vote, following several others of like nature upon wet proposals, marked the climax Of the wet ef- fort in the House this session."
 All of which seems to bear out what we said upon a previous oc- casion regarding the possibility of modifying the prohibition law. Referendums, propaganda and bal lyhoo won't do it. The place to make progress that counts is In Congress. and all the other agita- ton counts for little. The election Of wet congressman will mean more for modification than investigations and talk. But Congress stays dry and gives every promise of remain ing that way in the near future. judging by the calibcr of the ma jority Of congressional candidates the country over.
