If one Napoleonic maxim has been followed in reorganizing the police force so that no man will command more than five units, another one sug- gests itself as appropriste, to wit, that Providenee is on the side of the heaviest artillery, with such modern additions as the best Identification Bureau, the best trained detective force and the most intelligent and alert personnel. And Commissioncr Crosby’s efforts to fmprove the police force lead one to the belief that before he retires he will have won Providence to his side. He has avoided flash-in-the-pan gestures and his statements and actions have come only after well considered deliber- ation. 3is reorganization of the force along the lines of the Army's chief adminis- trative unit, the regiment, is based on common sense as well as & study of Napoleon. What the Commissioner is striving for is greater efficlency, and by a wider distribution of authority and resporsibility among the higher officials of the department, permitting closer attention %o detailed supervision of sub- ordinate personnel, and resting more discretion in the hands of officers re- garding disciplinary measures, the Com-. missioner should get it. Under the old system the city was eut in two, for police administration purposes, by Seventh street. One in- spector commanded the precincts to the west and another one had charge of those to the east. Of the four remain- ing inspectors, one had to divide his duties between the supervision of the Detective Bureau and the general su- pervision, likewise, a8 assistant superin- tendent of all the uniformed forces. Another was in charge of uniforms and -equipment, another was in charge of the Police Traffic Bureau and the re- the United States. | plane of course goes out of control and output of | falls, In Miss Smith's case the machine g congressional EE { H Board's decision g E of farmers themselves regulate I3 the is week it bounded back Into|from her state of insensibility and re- arena as & result of | gained control of the ship.

She might have been founded on common sense. In de-lyjjeq in the tumbling of the plane upon lles American agriculture’s soundest hope. Once systematically invoked, those principles’of good husbandry will enable our farmers to view without alarm a European boycott of foreign wheat. Also they will make it unneces- sary for politicians to dangle before agriculture quack remedies like export debenture and equalization fee. The farmer will have worked out his own salvation. ————— The Progressive Program. The Progressive Republicans of the Senate and the Progressive Republicans of the House, in the persons of Senator Norris of Nebraska and Representative La Guardia of New York, have agreed on a “program,” generally speaking, for the next Congress. The program will include, among other things, tax legis- lation, unemployment measures and farm relief, The Progressives hold the balance of power in both House and Senate. It is still too early, however, to predict just what they will or can do with it. Senator Norris and Representa- tive La Guardia say that they do not expect the Republican Progressives or the Democratic Progressives to break away from thelr party allegiance when it comes to organizing’the Senate and the House, electing a President pro tempore and a Speaker and forming the standing committees. However, it seems probable that the Progressives in both houses, among the Republicans, will make the best terms they can with the regular Republican leaders before they actually cast their votes for Re- publican organization. One thing the Republican Progressives will be able to do is to kick up a row, with frequent attacks on the administration and its legislative program. If past per- formances count for a: , they may be expected o go right ahead along those lines. It is one thing, however, to throw a monkey wrench into the ma- Republicans will have step, If the Democrats House undertake at coming session to approve all the proposals of the Progressives merely for the sake of embarrassing the Hoover ad- the | ministration, they will have to wear the Progressive label in the campaign. They cannot be one thing in Washington and another out in the country—not if the Republican spellbinders have anything to say about it. ‘The Progressives talk of tax revision, with increases in tax rates, particularly for those who have large incomes. But the Republican leaders in Senate and House say flatly that they look for nosuch increases at the coming session of Con- gress. Even Progressive Senator Borah, who favors such changes, does not be- lieve, he says, that tax increases can be put through in the session which % be such independent units as_the | opens next December and closes as the vice squads, the traffic squad and the Detective Bureau. 4 As the Commissioner poinis out, the aim is to apply the wejl known doc- trine that efficiency depends more upon close and well trained supervision than His plan will permit closer supervision by officers whose experience is too valuable to al- low them, as heretofore, to be tied down to desk work. Authority will be decentralized, but at the same time specifically defined. After the perfection of the smooth functioning organization that for ad- ministrative purposes is desirable, Commissioner Crosby will doubtless ex- tend his reforms to the establishment of better equipped training schools for the “rookie” policemen and for the specialists that a modern force de- mands, concentrating, the while, on the discipline and development of esprit de corps that make for eficiency. When he decides to go into politics Al Capone will be expected to defer to the mechanistic spirit of the time forgetting the elephant and donkey and substituting the machine gun as a party emblem. ——e—. 1t is understood that, despite his losses by fire, Trotsky has enough manuscripts undcr way to keep Soviet censorship occupled for at least a five-year period. ———r—e——. Europe and Her Wheat. It is an interesting coincidence that at the very momen: the Pederal agri- eutural auinorities in the United States are exhausting every effort to curtail wheat production, Europe should be in conference on ways and means to boy- eott imported wheat. The proposed embargo, of course, is aimed at “the bread baskets of the world,” Canada, Argentina, India, Australia, South Africa and this country., The proposal under discussion at Rome, where the conference is in session, provides for a system of preferential tariffs which would limit European trade in wheat to grain grown on continental soll. European farmers, America and other great wheat-raising campaign is beginning. When it comes to farm relief and to unemployment legislation, the remedies which will be advanced are so numerous and so con- flicting that the prospects of legisia- tion do not appear bright. The country has before it the object-lesson of one experiment in seeking through legisia- tion to fix the, price of wheat at & higher level when there is a surplus of production. The aspirations of the farmer and the industrial worker are indeed worthy of attention by the national legislators and by the country at large. They make up the great bulk of the population. Economically these aspirations conflict, since the farmer must purchase the product of the industrialist and the la- borer must purchase the product of the farmer. How well farmer and laborer will travel in double harness time alone will tell. At present, it the Progressives are to be believed, they are united against the “eapitalist.” The farmer, however, 15 himself a capitalist. With modern prosperity the farmer could not be weaned from his position in favor of the system which has prevailed so long in this country. And many of the Zarmers today are moderately prosper- ous, despite the fact that there have been 80 many farm failures. Labor has been hard hit by depression and lack of employment in the industries. But open again the factory and the mill, and la- bor will continue to demand as cheap food as he can obtain while labor itself gathers capital. Socialism cannot stand ‘against individualism as long as the individual is measurably happy and has = real opportunity to improve his condi- tion. — et ‘There are warm admirers of former President Coolidge who do not belleve that any man with his claim to public interest can go on forever saying he does not choose to be & candidate.

Bundled as she was in a heavy-en- velope of garments she might have lost her life if in the gyrations on the ground she had hit with her head first. There is no law of accidents. The other day in this city a blast of dyna- mite set off to demolish an, old build- ing sent a bolt of metal & block and a half through & window to hit a child and slightly injure her, and another blast sent a brick through a window elght stories above the ground across the street. Had cither of these missiles chanced to strike a person at short range from the point of blasting, death would have been caused. Daily the streets are the scenes of narrow escapes in traffic, and yet sometimes those who are hit are the most careful persons, whose movements just happen to coin- cide with an unexpected twist of the steering wheel of & skillfully driven car. So it all depends upon that mysterious element known as chance, against which or for which there is no insurance, A new traffic director for the District of Columbia will find problems worthy the skill even of 80 experienced a man as William ‘A. Van Duzer, heretofore high in service in management of Pennsylvania thoroughfares. He will not take office until July and will there- fore have abundant time to study a situation regarded as unique ‘and with possibilities of increasing difficulties. ————————— If there had been enterprising realtors in the Virgin Islands, they would have seen to it that enough improvements were under way to permit making the visit of the United States President an opportunity for advantageous publicity. —rwe——————— Earnest efforts to improve conditions of life in penitentiaries have resulted in efforts of prisoners to run the institu- tions to suit themselves.

But there is something frightful about it, too, and that is that she must! All those who have in their families, or under their protection, aged persons constantly cherished and attended may well try to imagine the state of these beings, so dear and yet so fragile, were they sent forth into the world to se- cure for themselves even the bare ne- cessities of the most wretched exist- ence; the scanty breakfast, early and hastily prepared; a tin) insuf- ficiently warmed; the meager comforts in_the intervals of relaxation.
