Hosb-r has no business with that money. t least until he is acquitted. Ha vine pUaded cuilty hr Mands convicted, until acquitted on the appeal and that money belongs to the state. Uy turning it over to the defendant he is guilty of misfeasance in oflice hut of course, that will never attract thv attention of the board of afety. The "ranking hearts" of the department, .Mayor 'arson has decreed, must not be disturbed. We half imagine that in recognition of the splendid service rendered the mayor in his mayoralty earnpaien. Chief Kline could turn the whole city hall over to Hosier, and :h- morality f it, or the legitimacy of it would not be questioned Ah yes, the chief outht the advice, or rather the consent, of the prosecutor and afrain of his deputy, in advance of turninc- the money over, and very properly he was told, in the face of past exp rirnee, that the evidence being in his Uunds. it was up to him to take care of it. In matters of disposing of evidenee as in the Barrett and Zimmer"l'ambacher case., '"hief Kline has always taken Iiis advice from ("ity Atty. Slick heretofore; would consider none from the prosecutor, even praying injunctions and -writs of prohibition. when the prosecutor has undertook to use Judicial pressure. ne mipht wonder if the ity attorney also adised th- chief in this ins'nnce it heincr so in keeping with his apparent counsel in the other "case." mentioned. Of course, it would have been much nicer to have had the consent of the prosetutor or his deputy and the effort to Ret it may h ive been j i. t another of those Slick tricks, as in the old days, when it was sought to blame the prosecutor when obliged to dismiss cases where 'evidence had been destroyed, lost, or never obtained. But anyhow, they have seen to it that Hosier 1:0 1 his money back; money that belongs to the state, pending acquittal.-and to be sure that was the administrations main concern. Has the chief the other gambling paraphernalia taken in the Hosier iaid? He says he has. He may also, in case the money is demanded by the state, now that the incident has been made public, he able to borrow MJI from somewhere to produce in court, and swear th.it he always had it. It won't be the first thing that chiefs of police have sought to lie out of; even this chief the "guardian angel" of our public morality. We might also men ion in passing that our premises were found in an interview that appeared in the administration organ so they must be genuine. The chief would never have bragged to us of such lack of responsibility.

THE AMERICAN BUFFALO. Tor a time it looked as if the buffalo were destined to anih from Amerita. The few roaming wild were growing fewer yvar by year, and the small herds iti captivity were decreasing. Then the e-overnnunt took the matter in hand and made a. deliberate effort to save the spevies from extermination. The lirst buffalo census a is taken in 1 and i that time only about 5u of the animals werv discoverable in the I'nited States. Now. happily, the number is more than 3,000. About two-thirds of these are owned by individuals, but the government owns eight herds, six of them under the direct control of the department of agriculture The largest of the eight is that one in Yellowstone park which contains about 4 SO buffalo. The Smithsonian institution has a herd of 18 at Washington, 1. C. K-cently provision has been made for lending government animal- to municipalities or institutions, or exchanging them. Thif is because of a Mirplus of males in some of the government herds. It is hopej that the loan or exchange may result in a greater increase in numhers In the next few y ars. Without the American bison our plains could hardly have been traversed, our west won. Not only is .1 lebt due this race, so wastefully handled for so many years, but by preserving it one of the most interesting of historical monuments is kept for posterity. The commercial possibilities in large herds of buffalo are enormous, needless to say. so that there is every reason in the world both of business and of sentiment why our native bison should be preserved. If the railroad men start a new political party, based on their federal ownership program. It will at Wast bring a satisfactory show-down on that proposition. Maybe when the hotels cut out their fancy French menus, they'll also cut out the fancy juices? Or will they charge more for letting patrons know what they're eating? Other Editors Than Ours Tin: iioim: of tiii: i-kohtkkr. i Detroit News.) There are thoe who persist 111 predicting that we are bound to h:ve a war with Japan. If enough of then keep on predicting it often enough and can j..et others' to join them to make it general, why, they might wotk up i war with Japan. There are 'those who believe we will not and shouh; not have n war with Japan- If they can get enough to join their torces to make the jinsroe? forget war talk. why. there would be no likelihood of a war with Japan. Did oa ever hear r.nj one give .any Fort of a rea-s'.-i why w should hae war with Japan? Now it is Shr.ntur.g. There ;r- those who are skeptical and want to discount Japan's word that she will deal honorably rnd return holdings in that peninsula to China. " Then- were those who were skeptical when we said we would de a! honorably with the Cubans and make them self-governing. Japan ::.akes her declaration now jusi as earnestly as we made ours then. Japan says her word 'K g"od ;,s ours. Tinv will tell with them as it did with i s. No one doubts us now. Meantime if the Jap Jingoes can point to American papers and s y, "They are talking war over there." and if the American jingoes can point to the Japanese papers and say --They are talking war ocr the it." why, the munition protiteers will saiiie.

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montagus.

THE OWL. The Owl that lives in the locust tree, He hasn't a friend in the world not he. In the shelter of night he hides his face, A cowering figure of black disgrace. And yet the Owl, in a happier time. Before he turned to a life of crime. Could hold his tufted head as high As any robin that fluttered by. Clear was his conscience clear as a bell And this is the story of how he fell. One morning as on his perch he sat He watched a pilfering, criminal cat Climbing a tree to a robin's nest. And well, it's better to guess the rest. And the Owl he said to himself, said he, "If a cat can do it, then why not me? (His grammar, you notice was quite absurd. But the owl was a most uncultured bird). And that very night I am pained to state. A robin's baby he stole and ate I And when in the morning they found him out (And they proved his guilt beyond a doubt). The birds came fluttering on his trail And they tweaked his ears and they pulled his tail Till he hid away in a swampy glen. And never came out in the light again. And now at the fall of the evening dew. When you hear him shrieking, 'To who? To who?" As he sits alone on the locust limb, You'll know what happened to him to himl (Copyright, 1919).

The Tower of Babel

By Bill Armstrong It happened to us like a holt out of a clear sky. We had Just returned from eating a light lunch and we were told a gentleman wished to speak to us. He was attired in a derby hat and ne it hlue suit and stuck out his paw at us, with the following remark: "Hello Hill, I'm glad to meet you. I am Till! N'lhlJS HA ItUI'H.' The man that. Hing Lardner has made mgre or less famous around the country by writing about him, has been reading The Tower for sometime he informs us. but he still looks practically sane. After a short conversation with Michigan's most famous tonsorial artist, we closed it tloal with nim involving a great amount of money, the result of which will be regular contributions in this column from his pen. The rirst of this remarkable series the title of which Is, "Strop, Strop, Strop" follows. An eight chair hold-up, sounds to me Like some one getting gay. That's what Hill Armstrong called Jake's shop When there the other day. Heckaman's Oliver barher shop Of which South Uend is proud. It's strange to me that they'd allow Hill Armstrong in the crowd. But when the Tower of Babel's read f fun and w ell meant slang, It's easy seen my jolly Hill Why you can head the gang. Old topwe read your Tower in Niles.
