ONE REASON FOR BAD "COPS."
The astonishing thing about the
New York police problem, when you
look deeply into it, is that no head of the department has ever made it pos
sible or desirable for the individual
man on the force to become a good policeman. Each has plunged Into the welter of police affairs to catch a few things here and a few things there, but has left the general trend, the real current, of police business as he found It. He found the New York "cop" having a certain attitude toward his work, and he left him as he found him. In two sentences the patrolman's position is this: That his duty is not clear, and therefore it is safer and better to do nothing sensible, especially when no amount of faithful public service will advance him a single grade on the force will simply count for nothing. That he can rise if he is foxy enough, or crooked enough, to lay his wires and pull them at the right time. This is not only the patrolman's position, but that of every officer below the grade of inspector. You can not shake him in this belief, and with good reason, for he has seen the policy win time out of mind. From "The Police Question," by Carl Hovey, in the Metropolitan Magazine for May.
Bribery
"There can be no crime more serious than bribery. Other offenses violate one law, while corruption strikes at the foundation of ail law. Under our form of government all authority is vested In the people and by them delegated to those who represent them in official capacity. There can be no offense heavier than that of him in whom such a sacred trust has been reposed, who sells it for his own gain and enrichment; and no less heavy is the offense of the bribe-giver. He is worse than the thief, for the thief robs the individual, while the corrupt official plunders an entire city or state. He is as wicked as the murderer, for the murderer may only take one life against the law, while the corrupt official and the man who corrupts the official alike aim at the assassination of the commonwealth itself. Government of the people, by the people, for the people, will perish from the face of the earth if bribery is tolerated. The givers and takers of bribes stand on an evil pre-eminence of infamy. The exposure and punishment of public corruption is an honor ' to a nation, not a disgrace. The shame lies in toleration, not in corruption." Theodore Roosevelt.
HailStaats - Verband! No man could look at the bands of men who marched in common cause yesterday without drawing inspiration and fresh courage from the exhibition of devotion. Today, as at no other time, the cry is going up, "Where are the men?" And this is not alone in the churches, It Is in the parties, in the service to the nation, state and cities: "Where are the men?"
For there Is a growing disinclination on the part of this civilization to stand up and be counted. There Is a feeling that there is something to be ashamed of In the exhibition of Interest and activity in any movement which does not show on the cash book. At no time was there ever such a need for men who are filled with devotion, faith, sincerity and with Ideals which are not steeped with sordid tincture of Mammon. The thing that Americans must learn Is to show their colors. Nothing comes of those who sit idly by. The seed may be good, but it has fallen among thorns and on barren soil and the issues thereof is as the wind Itself. And removed fronf all the extraneous considerations there it was displayed yesterday for all to read-in the faces of the men who marched. They showed their devotion, their belief, their sincerity and their willingness to be counted. i
The Proper Course
Information of Priceless Value to Ev
ery Richmond Citizen. How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and this is particularly true of the diseas
es and ills of the human body. If you
suffer with backache, urinary disorders
or any form of kidney trouble, the ad
vice contained in the following statement will add a valuable asset to
your store of knowledge. What could
be more convincing proof of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney P1113 than the statement of Richmond citizens
who have been permanently cured?
Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 S. Elev
enth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "In
tle spring of 1902, I suffered from a
weak and lame back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Learning of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co's Drug Store and their use brought me prompt relief. Since then I have had no further need of a kidney remedy, as my cure has been permanent. I gave a public statement recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills, after I had used
them wjth such good results and I still hold a high opinion of them.

The Roman Church today Is powerful because of the loyalty of Its men. All things that are living and vital must be those that men are devoted to with all that is in them. There is a lesson not only for the community, but for this whole nation In that procession of old men and young marching onward a band of militant manhood. You who want things done good citizensAre you ashamed of your beliefs, convictions, your heritage? Or is it that you are not sure what they are? When the test comes where are you marching or an Interested spectator. Are you one of those who takes an active interest in your city? How many ward meetings and primaries do you attend? Sloth stares idly on every hand and raises not a finger.
All hail, Staats Verband; Prosit! Your example Is the lesson needed In every walk of life. When Americans learn to stand up and show their colors in times of little faith; to, stand steadfast in the battle for what they think in their hearts the answer to the problems of the day are found.
There are really so few things that count In this world and so few requirements that no man has any excuse for the- things which we all cond emn. , If the teachings of Jesus Christ were put into effect by half the people in the country the change would be so marked as to render this world an oasis for those who are heavy laden. So, take up the fight, apply the ten commandments and the eleventh for the poor, the distraught, and the sick at heart, the mangled ones of that machine which we call "our peerless civilization." Let the cry be now: "Here they come!" And not, "'Where are the men?
from the city of New York, and about a third of that distance from San Francisco, there is situated, in the upper reaches of the Gulf of California, a small island, worthless even for so mean a purpose as the raising of goats, but nevertheless a center of attraction for the ethnologists and archaeologists of the old and new worlds for many generations. This rocky peak, rising from the quiet waters of the gulf, is known as Tiburon Island. Tiburon is a Spanish word which translated into English, means "shark." The waters around the islet are literally swarming with these tigers of the sea, and the inhabitants of the island are said to be no less ferocious than the sharks. Tiburon is peopled with a handful of Indians, the only aborigines of their kind In the world, known as Seris. They are reputed to be cannibals, to be so fierce that none of tfie mainland tribes of Mexican redskins ever dare invade their shores, and to possess the secret of manufacture of a peculiarly deadly poison with which they prepare their arrows before battle.

HUMILITY. I believe that the first test of a buly great man is his humility.

All great men not' only know their business, but usually know that they know it,-only they do not think any better of themselves on that account. John Ruskin.

RHEUMATISM CURED OR MONEY REFUNDED.
What this Ring Has Done for Othert It Will Do for You.
LOUIS G. DESCHLER CO., Distributors Indianapolis, Ind.
In this booklet is described a ring thai has won the name of "Magic Ring." simply because the effects it ptoduces seem so marvelous as to border on the realms of magic. Otherwise it lays no claim to magic powers. On the contrary it is made in accordance with demonstrated scientific rules, and the results that seem so magical are the direct and natural outcome of the laws of science on which its construction is based. : The seemingly magic .power of this ring is at once brought to bear upon any excess of uric acid in the blood, ridding the system of this excess and thus effecting speedy and permanent cure of any of the diseases caused by uric acid, most prominennt of which is rheumatism. The "Magic Ring" has cured nine out of every ten victims of rheumatism who have tried it If it did not do this it would not pay us to publish this advertisement day after day in this newspaper. If, after a fair trial of the "Magic Ring" your doctor certifies that you have not been benefited by it we will cheerfully refund the money you have paid us for it. We would not be allowed to publish the following testimonials unless they were true: : Mrs. George II. Dewey, wife of the hero of Manila Bay, writes from her home, No. 1747 Rhode Island Avenue.' Washington, D. C : 1 "Please send me a ring of the size enclosed, by Adams Express, at your earliest convenience. '. Very truly, M. Dewey." From North Grafton, Mass., comes this message: "My Dear Sir: "We are all out of the little emery slips. - . "Are you willing to send a further supply? "The young man is again on his feet and free from pain. Sincerely, f Rev. C E. O. Nichols. This is another order : "Office of Edw. H. Webb, D.D.S. 741 Grand Street, - Jersey Gty, N. J. Dear Sir: Kindly forward me one of your magic rings which has been recommended to me by Dr. Webb. . Enclosed you will find amount required, also size of ring. Mrs. Blair, 741 Grand Street, Jersey City, N. J. "A prominent practising physician, who jas tested the Magic Rings, writes as follows: 'Office of Lamson Allen, M.D. 20 Elm Street. Worcester, Mass. Sept. 25, 1909. Dear Sir: Please send me two rings of size of enclosed patterns, and herewith find rheck for same. Yours truly, - Lamson Allen." In ordering a ring to be sent to the Mother Superior. St de Chantal Academy, Elfin Dale, Springfield, Mo., Sister Frances writes: "I heard of the ring from a Jesuit priest but I hesitated to give his name jrithout his consent I am going to another religous community and if I find . any sufferers will mention the ring. I am glad to know .it has benefited so many." There are many other testimonials to the value of tbe magic ring, coming from men in all walks of life, physicians, lawyers, business men. The ring is composed of an amalgam of metals. As soon as it comes in eontact with the heat and moisture of the skin it generates a current of galvanic electricity which reduces the uric acW from a crystal to a liquid form and draws it out on the skin under the ring, causing the finger to look as though painted with iodine. When there is no more uric acid in the blood there will be no acid mark on the finger until more is generated. By continuing to wear the ring when you are cured it will absorb the acid as fast as it is generated, thru preventing a -return of the disease. " v The ring should be rubbed on the in- . side until it is bright once or twice day, with TTPtry cloth and the acid -stains washed from the finger. It should be worn on the left hand and should fit .
