16 AROUND THE TOWN \ 7HILE talking the other evening with one of our guardlans of thg law on a particular uptown beat- he broke into a dissertation upon the bru- tality of some of his brothen offi- cers. “It is not at all necessary,” he sald, “to treat men as if they were a bunch of untrained animals. The aver- age man can be reasonad with. Some cops pace their beats with their hands on the putts of their guns. 1 never do. 1 believe in fair play. and al- give u man a square deal. Iam| Too soft-hearted 1o pull my gun and shoot a man in cold blood. ~T'd rather | club him to death—it don't make so that. wa; much noise. Always a square deal, that's my motto. “For instance, a few weeks ago 1 pm ched a bird disorderly conduct. | had a erip_on his arm that he cnumn t break. He made the remark that if I'd let go of him he'd cut my head off. So 1 released him, and, as hie reached for his knife, I hit him on the head with my stick and knocked him cold. But he had a chance. Yessir, give every n man fair play.” BOOTLEGGER ADOPTS DAIRYMAN'S POLIC Prohibition Commissioner Roy A.) Haynes or any of the actors on a vaudeville circuit should not read this. A prominent Virginia criminal law yor, who likes an aleoholic bracer oc- casionally, was asked the other: day what chan prehibition had wrought in his native town. With- out_hesitaney the jurist replie “Before prohibition 1 had to walk out half a mile to a barroom for pay for postage—that's thrift. Honest, t is. You see, during the war we had three-cent postage. Uncle Sam for many years has printed free the busi- ness card, or return address on the upper left-hand corner of stamped envelopes for business concerns mak- ing large purchases of the stamped paper. Now it happens that a large quantity of these envelopes printed for the Ironton Railroad Company, Hokendauqua, Pa.. bearing a three- cent .stamp imprint_have been left on hand. The Post Office Department | cannot-sell .them because the present postage rate is two cents. They are just so much waste paper. But, that they may stfll serve a frugal purpose as containers, the information service of the Post Office Department is us- ing them. POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BOOST DEAD LETTERS. Capdidates for political office .are ! given a wholesale; warning by the Postmaster General that their mail campalgns fof Votés are far from 100 per cent porfect. Charles N Dalzell, superintendent of the dead letter di- vision, has positive proof of this. During the campaign months the numbér of undelivered letters in- creased: 25 per cent or morg over the number Jast year and the big in- crease has-been - evidently circular campaign literature. As many.as 7,000 or 8,000 have Yeen received from one city alone. There is _indisputable evidence that the politicians seeking public offiee’ have frequently not taken the pains to get up-to-date mafling lists. HOUSE BONUS VOTE BETS CALLED OFF. When the House voted 25§ to 53 to override the President's veto on the so-called “soldiers’ bonus bill” there was considerable discussion among the members as to whether this was not a heavier vote proportionally than when the bill was originally Quige a few hats and din- were wagered. The question settied finally by Representative a drink. Now the stuff is left at my front door IMfke the milk.” STAMPS ON OFFICIAL waIr 1 ECONOMY STEP. Uncle Sam ls thrifty—sometimes. Usually all official government busi- ness is carried through the postal sys- tem free, under what is known as a “frank,” which privilege is also en- joyed by members of Congress. Now if you should happen to receive a government circular from Postmaster General Works' department jn a t oo cent sunmpd envelope at“the t that two cents is all any one has o Immediate Delivery on All Models Roy Fitzgerald of Ohio, who is presi- dent of the association of ex-service men in Congress and who was one of the first and most urgent cham- plons of the bonus. He figured out that the percentage was exactly the same—and all bets were called off. There were 4.8 times as many votes cast for the bonus each time in the House than against the legislation.

Sometimes the great Anurlm Cdngress, going through the last motions of passing an ‘important law, has to stop and make some cor- rection in verbiage or phraseology—. as witness: ‘When the.firs: deficlency appropri- atlon bill for the fiscal year 1923 was belng passed the other day, carrying an item for $160,000 for federal fuel distribution, Representa- tive Everett Sanders of Indiana, who used to be a school teacher, offered an amendment “ifter the word ‘the’ to imsert the words.'work of the.'” Just that little article “the” caused debate that used up half a page in the Congressional Record. Repre- sentative Stafford of Wisconsin, a Harvard purist, who had not been a school teacher, contended: “I ques- tion. whether it is good grammar to say ‘the wurks‘f the federal fuel distribution.” ould be ‘the work of federal fuel distribution.’” p- resentative Sanders finally sald: “I will gladly accede to the desire of the member of the appropriations committee and omit the article ‘the’ or.any other little articles that the gentleman wishes omitted.
