motor ships have produced such remarkable results

Not to be outdonc, however, the proponents OF
steam arc turning to super-heated steam ana othcr
developments to raise the efficiency coeffcicnt so
as to compete with the internal combustion engine
Increased srced is the cry now. Ships that
could do ten knots hour were once consldere"

to do better than that and for passenger ships they
are beginning to talk of cruising speed OF 20
knots and rumors are in circulation regarding
new method of propulsion. The largest straight
eight combustion motors in the world have just
been completed in Italy. Two units will be placed
in each vessel of the Cosulich Line now building
and will drive these huge passenger ships at an
average speed of "a knots.
Speed seems the essential thing today. If We

Efficient Police Work

recent survey in Germany shows that it is posi-
BILE for police to perform truly efficient service in the
apprehension Of criminals and provokes the thought
that perhaps we in the United States are not doing
effective police work as is generally thought
According to the survey the chances of murderers
escaping justice in Berlin are only in 100. This
ratio is obtained from the figures of the past eight
months. In the state Of Prussia, for instance 50?
murderers, responsible for Clio deaths were APP
pretended in that period of time.
We wonder if any state in the United States can
produce such record? But, wonder
We realize that state in the United States can
show such result, for police not operating
at full efficiency. Political pull graft and methods
that far behind the times all combine to give
the ma jor criminal more than even break.
One reason for inefficient police work, how
ever, is found in the attitude Of the general public
in sympathizng with the lawbreaker and IN lax
parole systems that give him his liberty much too
soon and sometimes the slightest prctext Such
an attitude the part Of the general public is very
discouraging to the most conscientious guard
ians Of law and order. Few police officials kcci
their enthusiasm for their work after they fine
that they must enforce the law with reservation.
and that after getting lawbreaker the court OF
the parole board will allow that work to be nullifcd
because of money or political influence
What we need in the country is mode Of
thought on the question of crime. We too senti
mental about the criminal. Let US deal with hin
more firmly, give him less sympathy and show thu
police approve of law enforcement. Thus WI
shall increase efficiency Of police departments.

The Cruisers Win Out

The decision of Congress that the three cruisers
authorized last year for the American navy be
built without delay is in consonance with public
opinion, which has been considerably Disguised with
the controversy arising the q,sestion-with
England having fifty flour built and building, Japan
having 25 and the United States but Is.
The Washington disarmament conference provided
ratio Of $3.50 but it is known fact that Great
Britain is far ahead this ratio and it is just as
positive fact that neither Great Britain Japan
will agree to another limiting treaty right now
when it would mean the scrappng of so many new
ships.
Consequently it is high time we put our sea
forces efficient basis when compared with
other first class powers, for when did become
second third class power? It would be &
splendid condition if we could trust other nations
not to make hostlities possible in the future, but
the world is too disturbed today to justify relaxa-
ton Of thorough preparedness.

board will tackle the problem cnergctcay anu
fairly.
There are four technicians and one lawyer on the
board. The chairman, Rear Admiral W. Il. q. Bull

one of the greatest experts on radio communica-
ton in the country He of the outstanding
naval figures in the World War.
The other three technicians, Orestes IL. Caldwell

the board, Judge Eugene O. Sykes, will pass on al
legal questions for the benefit of the board.
The idea of a non-political board for the contro

Editorial Comment
The Business AcceleratOr
Dorchester Democrat and Chronicl

According to an eminent British authority on
business management, newspapers advertising par
ticulary in the United States, brings results far
superior to the returns obtained by any other public
ity medium. Sir Charles Higham, recognized in
London as a highly successful business executive,
declares that campaign of advertising which ne
managed in the United States brought an enormou;
increase in sales for his clients
Sir Charles is not alone in his discovery of the
power Of newspaper advertising in America. He is
merely one of the most recent converts to the idea
that business can be created by going after it
through the greatest accelerator of commercial
activity the world has seen, the newspaper ad.
vertsemcnt. The old fashioned method of taking a
vacation when business was dull has been super
seeded by the modern advertising drive, by which
new markets built where none had previously
existed, thus adding to the permanent commercial
assets of. the civilized world.
To most Americans the power of the printed
wcrd is no mystery. Where literacy is all but uni
versa the appeal Of type is Of far greater potenc:
than any attempt at direct contact, since the news
paper goes everywhere and remains to deliver its
message often it may be read. The worker

of the things that the world has to offer for tn
satisfaction and comfort Of humanity. The wish t
buy any specific article may have been latent il

The PhiliDpine Stalemate

Some action should be taken at once to end the
impossible situation existing in the Philippines
where deadlock exists between Governor Leonard
Wood and the native legislature whereby no con-
structive legislation is possible
Looking over the results of Colonel Carm
Thompson's investigation into conditions on the
islands, it is impossible not to reach the conclusion
that much of the friction be traced directly to
some of Governor Woods cabinet aides, who, though
excellent men with splendid records used but ttls
