democracy pleases the Britons, it is not our part to object. If they insist on having a king it is fortunate that they are promised as sensible, a successor to the present one as the Prince of Wales appears to be. A NATIONAL POLICE FORCE? Spearilntr at the convention of the chiefs of police at Detroit, Chief Quigley of Rochester, N". Y., president of the association .predicted that, within five years the United States will have a national police force.

Th" idea is rather startling in a country accus

tomed to think of police protection aa a local function under local i ontrol. It will not be asserted that the existing system of localized police has furnished ideal protection, in fact, j-ather the reverse. Ttut even where the inadequacy of local policing, as in the rural districts, has called for more effective measures, the

remedy has been organization rf a state constabulary

A TICKET THAT WILL WIN TVhen the Republican national convention nominated 'Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidse at Chicago Saturday, it not only selected standard bearers, it named the next president and vice president of the United States. The nomination, amid the wild scenes of party enthusiasm enacted at a national political convention, and the platform to which the nominees are pledged, remove thin-as-air doubts to assail voters in reaching final conclusions. SpeP. binders will not be able to weave their webs of Fophis'ry to enmesh the voters and convince them that the white of one party is identical with the black of another. The vital issues in this campaign have been set forth so clearly, the Republican pirty has taken a stand so thoroughly American on the bis problems confronting the nati&n, that it is given a rdaee as the ore party dedicated to the principle cf "Amri.'a first. To the American voter now is riven the epport unity of making his choice. He must make tip hio mind which of two causes he prefers that of "Wilson.- and the Democrats, using all their strategy for-iie advancement of European interests at the expenseo.Am.erJcan, or the sturdy Americanism, which first protects trar own national welfare, with hands and hearts evc?ready to succor the weak, the needy and the sufferings rhe Tiepublican, party is pledged to the latter course: unci las A platform that will carry its nominees to victory Reflected in this platform and in expressions 'of the candidates on the great questions of thatLcae is the attitude of an overwhelming majority of tha Tpopl''who think.

than there is and much more t lTective. Reform therf should be. Hut that the substitution of a nationalized force would be a solution of our police problems is far from being certain, while it would invite perils of ita own.

GCODBY TO THE "PENNY." - Tf the bill passed by the senate to authorize coinage cf a Roosevlt two-cent piece becomes a law. the colloquially misnamed "penny" is likely to become as rare as a wet oasis in America. As a purchasing medium the smallest of our coins has little value; in years to come it may gain diaxity and worth as a curio, but in the meantime it serves chiefly to weigh down the pockr. A few years ago a multitude of articles could be boucht fcr a cent each. Now a cent does little more than pay the war tax on an inexpensive drink. . And so

great is the number cf articles not priced in multiples!

OlvE OF THE PEOPLE. " In New Zealand the other day on his tour tsf the British possessions the Prince of Vales.ian into a railroad strike. All traffic was stopped .However, the prince was informed that there would be ec difficulty in finding men to rur the royal train, though, ..the '.trainmen would not run trains for the people.

'That being so," the prince responded".

icy can

not run trains for me. I am one of the people.' It waa a politic remark. We have-- no reason to JJubl-Us sincerity in uttering It. Much "water has run down stream since Stuarts afflicted England and it-?va3 held that the people gained their rights through-the favor of the monarch. It involved ccnsiderablef-trou-ble to convince that haughty line of kings, thatvthey were in error as to their belief that they.lehi power'by gift of God. To demonstrate that thei.:people ervcre supreme the Scotch line waa kicked out and, e-tside -ifor a German strain of mcnarchs. That the heir to the British throne has learned the lesson of history seems proved in tha remark credited o him. He recognizes that he is one of the people and 'that if he becomes monarch in succession to lis father it is by grace of the people cf Great Britain-. "No doubt the prince appreciates that kings can retain favor only as they by their acts merit it. Events of the last few years have impressed that fact on more than one who thought himself "anointed of the Lord." While it is understood that the occupant nf ihe ..British thrryje is a mere figurehead, if preserving "ancient form- cf government while operating rs a

of live, with or without the tax. that the mint has

been forced to Rtrain its resources to runply the demand. Thus we have the anomalous situation that whereas the cent was never less valuable it was never more necessary. The first United States coinage act, that of 1702, provided for a copper half-cent. Glorious days, those, when a half-cent was worth the bother! It also proTided for a copper cent and to this day the smallest coin is referred to as the "copper penny," though it is neither of copper nor a penny; tf. cents of today are basicly bronze. One feature of the restoration of the two-cent coin that will bring inconvenience to the new piece. Ranks and business houses are likely to be seriously embarrassed for awhile and the need for new models of coin machines will probably keep factories busy for months. Only time will reveal whether the two-cent p!ce will be long popular, although it will commend itself at once if it relieves the averace man of the necessity of carrying as many "pennies" as now is compulsory.

WHAT WE'RE COMIX G TO. Herbert Myrick. editor of Farm and Home, is out with the declawion that the people of the United States are confronting a condition regarding foo-i which is nothing short of harrowing. According to Mr. Myrick next fall is likely to find us paying $3 a

doen for eggs, $2 a pound for butter, SIT. a bushel

mr potatoes, and no a harrel for flour. To be sure, these prices now seem absurd, yet they are no more absurd than the present prices would have appeared five yars ago. Thre is nothing like getting used to extorition by degrees. And, moreover, ns a Huntington county farmer remarked to this paper last fall ' it may not be a question of price a year hence but rather a question of securing food at any price." Fort Wayne News.

THE nation today enjoys a rare privilege in that it knows five months before election who the next president will be.

NOW that he knows who his successor in the white house will be, congratulations from Wilson would seem to be in order.

TRUST Bryan to get something out of a national political convention. If not a nomination, at least a reporter's salary.

FOR almost infinite are the possibilities OF the human intellect. THERE was one thing that mates a good republican SCRATCH his head and give tp A'D that is to move heaven and earth TO g-et a ticket to his national convention and fail utterly oLY to have one cf his democratic friends say: Oh. come along-.
