POLICE AND PEOPLE.

"No police department will honestly or intelligently perform Its several duties unless It has a tenure of office, proper pension laws and the government of the same by cilvil service provisions that will enable every man in the department to rise on his own merits and without the interference of pernicious political activity on the part of those who desire advancement, not for merit, but for political pull."

Such was the conclusion of the legislative committee of the police chiefs' association at a recent meeting at Cincinnati. This is a fact appreciated by few communities. The old notion still prevails that the police department is one of the very first things that pertains to politics, and power should mean its manipulation and use for political purposes. Efficiency in public thrives where selfish politics keeps hands off. Some day this truth will be given wider application as it gains wider acceptance. Nothing cap so quickly destroy the usefulness of a police department as its manipulation for political purposes. When taxpayers in cities come to realize how such use of the police department can dissipate all that their good money has bought in police service over a Ion# period of years, public opinion will likely take some decided stand on the question.

THE GREAT DOUBT.

Over two hundred Terre Hauteans are said to have signed petitions circulated here for the purpose of saving Leo Frank from the electric chair. The

interest in the case reflects the American spirit of fair play. For the people of Georgia to feel that outsiders are interfering in Georgia's home affairs is a mistake. We are all citizens of one country, are all of the same common humanity, and all share humanity's common liability to error. The judge who tried the Frank case, Judge Roan (who has since died), said that he was not convinced of Frank's guilt. That statement is a part of the record of the case. It is now believed, on the faith of a statement by an in timate friend of Judge Roan's, that the trial judge went farther and expressed his belief in Frank's innocence. Whatever the precise degree of the dead trial Judge's statement of his doubt, it is at the least a strong argument in favor of the commutation of the death sentence. 'The various appeals In Frank's case have not gone to the question of his guilt or innocence. He has had but one trial. That this trial was not a fair, one (in view of the conditions existing at the time) seems to be about as well established as it is possible to establish any disputed fact. Most of those who have made a thorough investigation of the case believe in Frank's Innocence. Of that the proof may come later. It is sufficient now that in the minds of practically efveryone, and particularly in the mind of the trial judge, there is and was a doubt.

FIGHTING MEN.

A writer in the London Times calls attention to some curious facts in connection with the war. He opines that even with their German leaders the Turks cannot stand against French and British troops under equal conditions. In this connection it may be noted that the Turks are required to abstain from the use of alcohol by their religion. The Russians are required to abstain by the order of their government. All the other armies are given regular allowances of alcoholic drinks, the Germans the largest of all. The German alcoholic ration consists of beer and brandy with a total alcoholic content of 70 gTams daily, while the Austrian ration of wine contains only 40 ferams. The French soldier receives 20 grams of alcohol in the form of rum, and a fVarying quantity of ll#ht wine. The minimum issue in the British army is

Every bottle uniform—pure, wholesome and refreshing.

five ounces of alcohol per week, equal to about 51 grams, while in very bad weather the men in the trenches get as .high as 25 grams a day.

The French war office recently decided that whiskers are unsanitary and the order went forth that all the luxuriant crops at the front should be sacrificed. This brought a protest from the ranks, where beards are considered as an indication of military standing but science and discipline must have their way and the French army will soon he as clean shaven as the British. The Germans crop their soldiers' hair for sanitary reasons, but allow them to grow beards if they wish.

Evidently more men are needed on both sides In the great struggle. Great Britain has reduced the standard of height for volunteers to five feet two inches, while Germany is calling to the colors all the untrained landstrum up to 45 years of age. Private adfvices in dicate that the physical standard has been very much lowered. France has her class of 1916 in training, and the country is swept clean of older men who are fit for miiitary service. It is becoming more and more apparent that Great Britain will have to resort to some form of conscription. She has raised more volunteers than any other country In the world's history, but not half the eligible men have enlisted.

BETWEEN TRANSFERS.

A "woman reader" of The Tribune writes in to say that conductor No. 23 on the East Locust street line should receive favorable mention for his never-failing politeness, especially to old ladies and children. The Tribune is pleasod to call attention to No. 23. Most street car men are courteous. The discourteous one is the exception. Politeness is a gift that all persons do not possess, but it is something that can be acquired by practice. The operative of a car who is polite and courteous to his passengers is in possession of an asset of great value to the individual such an employe is soon discovered by the riding public and is appreciated by every passenger with whom he comes in contact. In many cases when such a one has an accident and is desirous of having witnesses, he can secure them without difficulty. In many instances passengers will volunteer their statements in his behalf. On the other hand, when it is known that an employe is not polite and is cross, it becomes difficult to secure information exonerating him, even though he may not be at fault for the accident. Certain it is'that the general public appreciates a polite man. on either end of the car. Conductors and motormen. can add greatly to their own comfort as well as to that of passengers by being polite under all circumstances.

One of the supreme court justices of New York has said something very bitter about "swapping wives." Even the courts now admit that restraint of trade is all right at times.

Poor Governor Whitman. Even after he crossed the continent he could not get beyond sound of his baby's crying. These long-distance telephones have their drawbacks.

Anyway, that $27,000,000 "melon" that goes to the head of a certain well known auto concern at Detroit cannot rightly be termed a new Ford joke.

One of Chicago's municipal steam rollers has been stolen. Some aspiring politician is doubtless thinking about starting a party of his own.

Triumphs of civilization continue to manifest themselves. They are now equipping air-craft with poisonous gas bombs.

Fortunately for those who try to follow the progress of the war, a town's name is not changed "every time It falls.

Judging from the fatality reports the European air raiders go on the principle of "women and children first."

HOROSCOPE.

•The ttar* Incline, but tfi not compel," Copyright, 1915, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.)

Tuesday, June 8, 1915.

This is a day in which to be extremely cautious, for contrary influences rule. While Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are in beneflc aspect. Mars, the sun and Uranus are all adverse.

Neptune is in a place read as sinister for ocean voyages and commerce. Men of war will be massed in the Pacific ocean before July 4, if the seers read aright.

The stars presage political scandals in which great commercial interests are involved. Everywhere care should be exercised in making investments or buying stocks.

The sign is forbidding for indulgence in any intoxicating drink. A sensational incident will crystalize public feeling on the subject of prohibition.

While Venus is in a good place today, women should be cautious, for there is a direction of the stars which makes deception easy, and- is held to encourage attraction to eccentric and unreliable persons. Thfc old should be stimulated by the friendly aid of Saturn.

Under this configuration there is unusual danger of accidents in connection with engines, cars and electrical devices.

It is not a good rule for change or travel. As the adverse aspects of Uranus are supposed to increase danger of explosions, mechanics and workmen should be careful.

Today's aspect has a tendency to increase the activity of the mind so that discontent and restlessness may be exceedingly common while it. prevails.

Persons whose birthdate it is probably will have much anxiety in domestic and business affairs, but care will overcome many troubles. Those who are employed should be industrious.

Children born on this day are likely to be hard working and persevering. They have a good omen. Mercury is their principal ruling planet.

MAYOR GOES BACK TO WORK.

Unable to Live on $400 Salary, Returns to Machinist Bench. BANGOR, Me.. June 7.—Unable to live on $400 a year salary as mayor of this city, John A. Small has had to return to his lathe at the Bath iron works to make a living. He was elected mayor two months ago today, an! gave up his machinist's job to give his entire attention to city business.

When the city government refused to elect him as city marshal, which would have paid him $1,000 a year more, and which berth the mayor usually holds here. Mayor Small round that his salary of $400 did not go far toward meeting his expenses. He has always been dependent on his daily wages, and consequently put on his overalls and returned to the machine shop. "If any of these fellows in the city govornment thought that they were giving me a jolt when they deprived me of the city marshalship," the mayor said, "they were mistaken. I guesst I'll like the shop more than being mar shal. It's more congenial, you know, and it's earning an honest living, too." -Cv

The heraids afterward tinctured the shield of Paris with the three colors (a ship with white sails on a red ground with a blue chef.)

The usual tale is that the ln*urgeihts in 1789 had adopted for their flag the two colors, rod and blue, but that Lafayette persuaded them to add the Bourbon to show they bore no hostility to tho king. The first flag of republicans was green. The tricolor was adopted July 11, 1789, when the people were disgusted with the king for dismissing Necker. 5
