They must feel some- what wronged. We are sorry. that the New Jersey paper questions the good faith of any policeman and thereby throws suspicion on the en- tire force. It is wrong. Rather would we condone his sins and let his virtues take care of themselves. The policeman is in a position where he can render great and good services to the community, and, if he is a real, honest policeman he does these ser- vices from the goodness of his heart. How many quarrels have the police of this city *fixed up” without even taking the participants their homes or exposing them to the relentless gaze of the street strag- glers? The kindly advice admin- istered by the blue-coated guardians of law and order is proverbial. The good policeman does not follow to the letter his book of instructions. Rather does he go ' outside his written in- structions and administer to the weak as a father would to an offend- ing child.

NEV, BRI'i'AIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1916. FACTS AND FANCIES. If the Colonel went to Mexico we suppose he would come back with a bewhiskered cucuracha in his grip.— Rochester Herald, Three Mexicans implicated in the Feliz Diaz revolutionary plot have been executed at Juarez. It will be the part of wisdom for Felix to keep out of range.—Buffalo Courier. . Chancellor James R. Day has ac- knowledged conversion and has hit the Colonel's sawdust trail. There is still a vacancy on the mourners’ bench for Mr. William Barnes.—Newburgh Journal. The important question before buy- ing the Danish West Indies is: Is the climate suited for the winter train- ing of ball players?>—New York World. Col. Roosevelt seems to think the country has been allowed to run down so sadly in the last seven years that we should think he’d hestiate at his age to take hold of it and try to build it up.—Ohio, State Journal. Maybe the Zeppelin commanders draw pictures of fortifications and am- munition factories when they drop bombs on school houses and orphan asylums.—Springfield Union. Germany cannot close the Sussex incident merely by saying that it is closed. = It is for the administration at Washington to close it or not, as it sees fit. »Then it will be for the people to pas¢ upon what the admin- istration does.+Brooklyn Eagle. The use of profanity is merely one form of relaxation, according to a learned professor of the Iowa state university. But the trouble with peo- ple who indulge in this particular form of relaxation is that they usually carry it too far.—Oshkosh Northwestern. Professor Phelps of Yale thinks that to spit on the flag insults it less than to spill the nation’s blood upon it. How widely men agree with him Jde may asqgrtain by a little experi- ment in.some public place. All the paraphernalia he needs are a flag and a crowd.—New York World. For eight long weeks Verdun has been the scene of terrific slaughter. Terrible assaults, magnificent defense, bravery unparalleled and heroism un- aproached have made up the magnifi- cent though awful tragedy. The end? When will it come? We ask the question—and turn away with a shud- der.—Buffalo New: Congress can speed up by getting down earnestly to the business in hand. But if members insist on con- ducting their campaigns for re-elec- tion during the ions, the affairs of the nation will be shifted along from month to month just as they have been since last December.— Wilkesbarre Record. The government may be slow, but the arrest of eight Germans this week for criminal complicity in bomb plots against shipping discloses the fact that the government detectives are cease- lessly at work and that the president is always ready to strike down such pestilent conspirators the moment that the evidence accumulated justifies ar- rest and prosecution.—Springfield Re- publican. Professor Phelps and Peace. (Bridgeport Farmer.) Professor Phelps, whose views on ure have the merit of common is the subject of more or less ism because he recently sugges peace is the ideal condition. or Phelps’ views on this sub- ject are as important as the views of a talented member of the minority ought to be, How important is a man who advocates something that cannot happen until the living are dead? Not very important in the minds of most of the living one ventures to say. A man who proposes the present end of the war, is as a man who proposes to create a bountiful supply of food next year. The average man wants a loaf | of hread now, even if by a sacrifice he could get three loaves some other time. Every thoughtful man the end of war will come. Peace is like many other good things. Tt is in the world; it is quite at the com- mand of men, when they know enough to take it. Nor is there anything strange, ori inal or out of the order of nature and use in the assertion. Fire, the wheel, the bow and ar- row, the rifle, the 40-centimeter gun were always in the world. No force has been applied to the use of these phenomena that was not in existence since the world was inhabited. Men did not always know how to utilize the things that were there. Electricity was as early as lightning and thunder cloud. But the dynamo, the trolley, the wireless and the tele- phone were but lately discovered. The planetary tree always hore the fault. Fve didn’'t know enough to pluck it, nor Adam, to partake of it, until quite recently The men who saw that these things could be and the men who helped them to he, were bigger and hetter men than the average of their kina. But the fact was not known until aft- erward. The accusation against the prophets ple, but very deadl; Their fault lies in this they think too well of their fellowmen, give them credit for more intelligence than they have actually obtained This Is and always heinous offense. Until very recently it was an offense that led directly to the cross. Property In knowledge is the same as any other kind of prop- erty. The posessors have pride in } what they know. To attack what they know, as not heing really knowledge, | is an assault vested interest. 1t diminishes a man in his self-confi- dence, and in his standing before his fellow men.

Thus those who have declared new religions have almost invariably heen vietim to the energy of those who be- lieved in old religions. It was the old priesthood that was responsible for the saints and martyrs of the Christian faith. Marcus Aurelius was especially severe toward the Chris- tians because he was such a very good pagan, and thoroughly commit- ted to the idea that vested knowl- cdge of deity must not be disturhed. One who speaks of peace, incurs the especlal opposition of ammunition makers and professional soldiers. He also runs counter to the experience of mankind. But evervbody runs counter to the experience of mankind. Telephones and telegraphs, prohibition, and votes for women, flying machines and sub- marines, sewers and cleanliness were foreign to the experiences of mankind until somebody found them out and got some others to understand that men progress by having new experi- ences. Prof. Phelps must satistied the satisfaction of knowing that men can stop biting and rending cach other whenever they know enough to do so.
