POLICE COURSES
SUGGESTED FOR
AMERICAN COPS

BOSTON, Oct %. U.Ps-Albert
Morris. professor of criminology at
Boston University, believes every po-
lceman in the United States should
be educated and trained according
to the European system.
In Europe police receive two years
training, whereas police here usually
study for only few months.
Morris suggests a course of at
least three months full-time train
ing, five to eight hours a day In that
time the pupil could discover if he
really is fitted for the job, he said
If so, he might be appointed to the
force for q years probationary per-
iod, during which he would do field
work part of the time, and continue
his training three or four afternoons
a week
They should learn the use of po-
lice weapons, have a physical edu-
cation and a first-aid course" he
said. Squad tactics, and a know
ledge of city ordinances should also
be included and every policeman
should know the laws covering ar
rest and the gathering of evidence

PACIFIC LEAGUE
URGED TO TAKE
IN NEW CITIES

PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. %. UP
A realignment of the Pacific Coast
League, under which two additional
northern cities would be taken in, is
suggested by Bill Cissell, manager OF
the local club.
CisseIi believes the league unbal-
anced at present what with four
clubs-the Missions. Seals, Oakland
and Sacramento-operating within
100 miles of San Francisco.
The people down there don't sup
port a winner" said CisSell. "On the
other hand, Portland, Seattle drew
exceptionally we'll. There is only one
answer-take the Missions and Sac
ramento franchises and move them
to Vancouver, B. c., and Tacoma,
Wash. Both cities are eager to sup
port league ball
Portland drew 145 900 fans in its
last three weeks stay at home. Three
times during that period they were
forced to line the overflow crowd
on the field, something, CiSSell point
ed out, none of the California cities
has had to do for years. Seattle also
enjoyed a prosperous year, yet nei-
ther of the northern clubs was an
actual winner.

revealed that the message had been
meant for one of the best-knoWn

other letter, of recent vintage, bore
the apparently indecipherable Sc

Similarly. the index of farm in
comes is steadily rising due to 20
per cent increase in the prevailing
prices of farm produce of all kinds.
The urban consumer feels the ad-
verse effects upon his budget but the
farmer thinks that, even now, his
return is inadequate.
Butter Surplus Large
The bonus on export butter is eX-
pected to rid the market of threat
ened surplus. In September the
stocks in storage exceeded 51,000o0
pounds. A bonus, regulated on slid
ing scale, may vary from to 2 cents
a pound and from this policy it is
hoped the export to the British mar

derived from a million dollar fund

While the western wheat crop is
"spotty,p a dollar o bushel will bring
substantial profit to those fortu-
nate enough to have a yield. Hog
prices were never SO high since the
war, largely ON account of the Brit
ish demand. The general upturn in
agriculture is considered a most
promising development.

TWO TOLEDOS
SHOW WAY TO
FRIENDSHIP

MADRID, Oct. %. UR)-Can two
cities, speaking different languages
and situated on different continents,
become friends?
A. Ramirez Tome, writing in THE
Two Toledos" in the Madrid news
paper, ABC, said that they not only
can but already have
Nothing could be more surpris-
ing" he stated, than the close
friendship which has sprung up
spontaneously between Toledo, Spain,

brought about neither by the unc-
tuous intervention of professional
diplomats nor by the pseudo -cultur-

of its own accord, and it has grown
because it has been warmed by COM
mon ideals and common romantic
sentiments"
Tome gave credit for taking the
first step towards the two cities
friendship to Henry j. Doermann,
president of the University of To-
ledo Ohio. DR.. Doerm9nn visited
the Spanish Toledo in 1881, partly to
ask permission to use Toledo's his
toric shield-the shield of Ferdinand
and Isabella-as part of the design
for the University of Toledo's new
escutcheon, but chiefly to gather i'm
preston of his home towns Eu-
ropean namesake.
The next step, according to Tome,
was taken by DoernRnn's students.
who made practical Use of the Span
ish they were learning in their class
es by sending letters to young men
and women of their own age in To-
ledo, Spain. The letters were answer
ed and before long regular chan
mel had been established whereby
ToledanS on each side of the Atlantic
could learn what was going on in
the other Toledo"
In 1894 a delegation of Amer
lean ToledanS came to Spain to re-
ceive the gold medal of Toledo,
Spain. They were guests of the
Spanish government, with all eX-
penSes paid. The vice-mayor Of the
American Toledo received the keys
of the city from the mayor Of the
Spanish Toledo.
The Two ToledoS," concluded
Tome, provide an eloquent example
of the way international friendship
can thrive when it Is not contaminat-
ed by the prose Of finance and the

non -assmilable and if that be a good reason ther it would seem to be reflection upon the wisdom of Congress past and present, which has failed to put up the bars against alien immigration, such as has been imposed upon States and communities or our own continent
 So far as the foreign or alien population of the islands is concerned it must be remembered that Arizona New Mexico and to certain extent, Colo rado and California, upon admission, had large populations just as alien to Amercansm as are the Japanese and other Asiatics in Hawaii-the Mexi- cans Those States have found it possible to as- simulate this Mexican element of their populations and there would seem to be reason why Hawaii could not solve it's citizenship problems in similar manner.

Hawaii Wants Statehood.
CTacoma Ledger.)

Samuel Wilder King, Territorial Delegate in Con- gress, is making strenuous effort to have Hawaii admitted to Statehood and to confer upon the archipelago the honor of being the 18th sovereign State of the Union instead of being the Delegate complains, treated like a stepchild.
 Hawaii has a population of in excess of 3o0,0OO, much greater than has been the populations of sev- era of the Territories which have in the past been admitted to Statehood During the past 35 years the islands have contributed to the Federal treasury approximately $l50OO0000 much more than has been the rule with other Territories and indeed larger than the contributions to the national good of several of the States long member of the sister hood of the Union. s.+H#4 sfts
 There are many reasons why Hawaii has right to ask even demand Statehood and not many why it should be excluded from full participation in national affairs. To be Hawaii is remote from our shores but then it is important army and naval station with national protection far superior to that accorded to many points upon the coast of continental United States, the Puget Sound re- zion one example
 The chief objection to the admission of Hawaii to the Union is it's large alien Asac population That presupposes that the Asiatics in the islands
