s 4 MINGLED EMOTIONS LEFT BEHIND DEBS Administration in Experiment Hopes He Will Not Abuse Liberty. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Bugene V. Debs has left behind here a trail of mingled emotions. ‘The administration which set him is somewhat sadder and wiser morrow morn. For both President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty, who have tried their zospel of “under- stunding” in trylug to convert Debs to a life of peace instead of agita- free th tion, arc not = sure that they have s ded. Their disposition” is to say no more about the case and hope that Debs will not abuse the liberty that has been given him by becomi- ing a center for more agitation, a railying device for radicalism and ation of the work: The Harding administration tried a unique experiment—one that has been eclonded somewhat in mystery because of undertaking. could have T he wouid ha ihe views country’s it the very It is it this ce into the wa that he never would nvicted it he had not| sech in the courtroom !

The Commissioners have followed strietly the law. which provides that all promotions up to and including captain shall be made following civil service examinations. In addition to the percentages given candidates by the civil service, a board of inspectors of the police de- partment has given cach man a rating for experience. The maximum allow- ance for experience is 25 per cent. With these ratings now assigned, the list of candidates goes back to the commission for tification, after which the Commissioners will be 1eady to make the appointments. GEN. CROWDER DELAYED.

I hope also that the extensive discus- sion of this matter in your columns will attract the serious notice of our District Commissioners and cause them to stop the slaughtering of ani- mals within the city limits, and to see to it that our police force shall do more to enforce the law: ainst cruelty to animals. The Washington Humane Society has but two agents. They cannot attend to all the work of this sort. However, in 1920, they prosecuted, as shown by the annual report of the society, 102 cases of cruelty to animals, whereas the met- ropolitan police in that same year prosecuted only twenty-four cases, yet the metropolitan police force con- sists of some six hundred or more men. True, they have other things to do than arrest persons who.abuse ani- mals; but it would seem from the leisurely way in which they generally patrol their beats that they might find time to pay more attention to offend- ers of that class. To the average citi- zen it appears that our policemen are usualjy strongly inclined not to both- er themselves about the welfare of animals. It is a very rare occurrence for onc of them to show any initiative in this matter. They siould be made to understand that laws for the pro- tection of animals are not to be sneer- ed at or looked upon lightly, but to be enforced in the proper spirit. Now that President and Mrs. Hard- ing are outspokenly such great lovers of animals, it Is time for a disappear- ance of the idea that only shallow, un- balanced or oversentimental people look upon the animal protection movement as one of any importance. That movement commands the in- dorsement and suppoart of many of the best known men and women in America. It is not something to be diculed. And the rights of animals not trifling matters. , Lot us insist that those rights be maintained. JAMES P.

If there is any law in Washington requiring the sounding of the horn, I do not know why it is not enforced, Nobody has any special sense of protection for the pedestrian, who must not only watch in three di- ferent directions to try to discover the chauffeur's intentions, but also keep an cye on the trafiic officer and one on the trolley, and all the while try to avoid collisions with other foot passengers.
