High police officials evidently
agree with the popular idea that
extensive education is not necessary

This was revealed when a police

educational qualifications.
"That don't mean anything 10

out that the Department OF JUS

policemen are law school graduates,
and also, an incidental fact which
may or may not have significance,
that all of these occupy minor posi-.

One policeman Is licensed to

American Muskrats
Harry Central Europe
BY E. e. FREE, Phi, n.

American muskratS are overrunnine
Bohemia. Twenty years ago few
families Of these animals were taken to
that country and established on a farm
near the city of Prague, where 1t was
hoped that they might breed in cap
tivity and provide muskrat skins, then
in fashionable demand for fllrs. The
experiment succeeded all too well, for
some of the muskratS escaped and pro-
ceeded to make excellent livings for
themselves and their families up and
down the rivers of Central Europe. 1t
Is now calculated by Dr. Hjalmer Brooch
q Norwegian naturalist, that millions
OF muskratS are living In Bohemia and
adjacent countries. Great damage has
been done to vegetable gardens; native
frogs and fish are being exterminated
even roads, dykes and railway embank-
ments are suffering from the muskrat
burrows. In portions of Bavaria close
to the Bohemian border special musk
rat catchers have been hired to try to
stop the advance of the animal hordes
Naturalists believe it not improbable
that all Europe will be overrun with
these costly muskrat armies, just as
the whole world has been overrun In
the past four centuries by Asiatic rats
which do damages estimated at more
than a billion dollars a year. Bohe-
mia's experience with the muskrats Is
another example, naturalists point out
Of the danger of introducing any plant
or animal into new country where its
natural enemies may be lacking and
where 1t may become a serious pest as
has happened with the English spar
row in America and with the cactus in
Australia.

TO talk OF candidates.. The efforts Of
the Democratic leadership are to be
directed apparently TO building up 9
fighting force, 30 q campaign Of edu-
cation and publicity, In the interest
Of Democratic principles and the DEM
ocratic party rather than in the inter-
ests Of any leaders or issues. No refer
ence was made whatever to the wet and
dry cause last night.
The flrst great hurdle which the
Democrats face In their effort to come
back TO national power and control OF
Government VIII be the congressional
elections next year. The Democratic
national organization Is pledged to give
its best efforts to the State and con-
gressional district organizations to
bring victory.
The plan outlined is an ambitious one.
It has been evolved, however, at an OPP
perfume time. The party was over
whelmingly defeated at the polls six
months ago. The signs Of virility and
life which have been evinced In recent
months and which were demonstrated
at the gathering here last night are
good evidence that the party is by no
means dead.
Time alone viii tell accurately the
results of the campaign which is now
being launched by the Democratic ma
tional organization. Not a little will
depend upon what the Republican OPP
position may do. The @. o. P. is ia
nous for its organization work, and.
indeed, the Democrats are stealing a
leaf from the Republican book in their
present undertaking. But, seemingly,
the Democrats are on the right track.
If they can forget their differences In
work and leave personal ambition out
of the equation for the next three years
they may prove effective In the cam
paign of 1882.

Baleful Branches.

1t appears that before President Hoo
yer made his latest appearance at his
fishing preserve on the upper Rapidan
River caretakers there had made Ger
tain that the Chief Executive would not
again receive black eye from swinging
underbrush, as he did some weeks ago.
They had made q painstaking survey
OF the trees standing near the stream;
had Topped on all suspicious-looking
branches and had cleared ct the I'M
derbrLsh.
The dyed-in-the-wool fisherman and
outdoorsman may have been, at first,
inclined to smile at these precautions.
But it is no laughing matter. An in
jured presidential optic, or even q dis
figured one, - serious affair to many
more than hundred million people. 1t
Is probably true that Herbert Hoover.
the private citizen, would take his
chances along with any other man. with
slippery rocks. with swishiag limbs, and
even with the little dead and deadly
spruce branch which, pointing directly
toward one, Is no larger than q pencil
point, but which can eliminate an eye
with neatness and dispatch. But Herbert
Hoover. President and world figure, must
be extremely careful Of every portion
Of his anatomy for four-and some say
for eight-years. The fact that he has
within the past two months reduced BY
half the number Of men and women
