part, ride in companionable
pairs in comfortable automo-
biles, and lose their "pep" and
become liable to overlook traces
of crime. Witness the recent un-
solved murder mysteries, also
the assaults upon girls.
In some sections of the city
policemen are seldom seen.
When visible they sidestep their
duties as much as possible, and
are upheld, it seems, by their
superiors in such instances, one
of which is the failure to protect
homeowners against nuisances
committed by the placing Of cab
stands, the drivers of which con-
gregate, inddlging III indecent
conversation, banging cab doors,
playing loud radios, throwing
all kinds of trash in the street,
and even going so far, am told,
as to destroy private property
when the homeowners protest.
The police do not even bother
to inspect the conditions COM
planned Of.
Because of the derelictions
cited. it is strongly evident that
the Metropolitan Police force
from top to bottom needs a COM
plete overhauling, in order that
the homeowners may have at
least some protection and service
in return for the higl taxes they
are forced to pay.

which were the only gift he had,
to see me on my way. The wall

That's life. We must go on

turist, and banker. Clerks, art
lists, agents, and manual laborerS
constitute the physiocrat.
In the plutocrat desire is ac-
quisitive or centripetal; while in
the autocrat and physiocrat it Is
dispersive or centrifugal. The
plutocrat can subjugate the
autocrat and physiocrat by fur
nishing the means for them to
crafty their desire for love,
wealth, fame, or power.
Imperialism, fascism, commu-
nism, socialism, Syndicalsm,
and democracy originate from
the following combinations. An
alliance between the plutocrat
and autocrat produces imperial
ism. Fascism results from q
union of the autocrat, indus
trialist, merchant, and banker
against the agriculturist and the
physiocrats. When the banker
allies himself with the physio-
Gratis against the autocrat, in
duStrialist, merchant, and agri-
culturist, socialism, com m u
nism, syndicalism, or democ-
racy will result. Should the
plutocrat attempt to subjugate
the autocrat and physiocrat
single-handed pure capitalism is
produced.
Today the plutocrat has dis
posed Of the autocrat and phys
iocrat. The supernatural
banker, the steam in the boiler
has the industrialist and mer-
chant in a bad way. He can
vanquish any human type ex"
cept the theocrat. The real
power of the spper-national
banker lies in the desire nature
of human beings. The theocrat
is desireless; in other words, he
is a bundle of pure will and
knows more than all the other
types combined.
The plutocrat mistakes the
hierocrat for the theocrat.
There are four sub-types of the
mobiles of the robe, respectively
teachers, doctors, lawyers, and
clergymen. The clergyman is
the hierocrat, of which there
are four kinds-deacons, priests,
bishops, and archbishops. In
this labyrinth of fours, do you
wonder that even the super
national banker has gotten lost?

Wants Police Shoke-Up

Citizens of the District have
striking evidence of the inability
of the police force to cope with
crime conditions which are
making Washington a national
scandal and a place of terror for
it's residents. Tourists are taking
detours and intended visitors are
staying away. Holdups and rob
berries are so numerous that bust
ness men constantly shudder
and householders fear to leave
home, lest they meet a highway
man on the street.
It occurs to a good many per.
sons that the success of the un-
derworld may be due to the fact
that, if the police are honest,
they have become so listless and
indifferent through neglect Of
their ordinary duties as to render
them lacking in ambition, train
ing and industry necessary to
meet a grave emergency. Muscles
and minds not exercised become
flabby.

An attempt by the plutocrat to

developing a standard mitt.
