WHEN THE PUBLIC IS TO BLAME.
Whon a orlmo hi commlttod. tho
public expects tho police dopnrtmout
tu n roBt tho offt ndor or offondors.
Difficulties which may ho oncountorod
by the officers uro nol considered; if
nn oaenped criminal Is nol landed
safely behind tbe bars within a f?W
hou-u after It becomes known lie Is
wanted, tin- avorngo citizen Blmply
take, It for granted lhal somebody is
Incompotent or nogllgent, awl ihr
chronic I'knookor" holds forth mi
the street corners us to the general
rottenness of tho department,
Newport News bus a police depart?
ment that, while it ban Its rough
odgOB, probably will compare favor
al'ly with Hm dbi>n:trhont of any other
city of this sIko in tho ifnltod Stntoa
At the head or tho dopnrtmonl Is a
man who Is widely known as one of
tho li -st, If not tho host, solver ol
puzzling criminal problems In all Vir?
ginia. And yet. every now und then.
a criminal escapes (he local depart?
ment and Is never captured.
Sometimes the failure of the de?
partment to put Its bands upon n fu?
gitive Is due (o negligence upon the
pnrl of office, s. but. to the credit
of the local force be It said, this is
a rather rare occurrence. Again, a
( level criminal simply covers his
tracks so thoroughly or gets away so
Quickly, that the chances of hin cap
thro I))' anyone Is romoto.
One thing that Is very often re?
sponsible for the escnpo or wrong
doe s, Is the failure of people con
COtncd and others who happen to
know of the wrongdoing, to make a
report to the police department. For
this the public, not tho police, is
responsible. A striking example Is
furnished In the escape of \V. (ill?
icit Tuesday night, after he had cu(|
the throat of \V. B. Dlxzon.
Koro wan n mnn who. nppnrontl)
w it limit provocation, had dangerously
nmi, probnMy fatally, wounded an
other. For three hours after the cut?
ting he remained quietly at his homo
on Flirty-fourth street, and at lhe|
end of that time he left the city, ac?
companied by his aged mother. Many]
people pi tiie neighborhood knew of|
the cutting, and probably most or
them wondered why no arrest was|
made, but it was more than three
hours before anyone thought of let?
ting the police dopartmonl know lha;
n crime had been commlttod.
Even the physician who was called
to attend the wounded mail made no
report of the case, although ho was
nwaro of the fact that his pntiont
was so badly cut that death might
suit. The Authorities very likely
would have remained In Ignorance un?
til the following day, hnd not tho"
news been brought in by an unknown
man.
Now Glllott Is nt largo and If he
|t* not captured, the pol ice force can?
not, be Homed. *
With such difficulties ns above de?
scribed constantly handicapping Its
work, the department deserves great
credit for whnt it manages to ac?
complish. This should bo borne In
mind when n citizen is tempted lo cri?
ticise tho officers for nllowing an or
fender to slip through their fingers.

THE CHURCH MILITANT
At last we have the awful truth
about that tennis match nt the White
House last week. Although the fun?
damental principle of "his policies''
Is ihat the author of them Is unbeat?
able the President was defeated by
the Lord Bhihop of London In the chief
magistrate's own private court. For
several days the result was shrouded
In mystery. To those who knew had
been Issued the edict: "Toll It not In
Hath, publish It not in the streets of
Askelon." The secretary to tin- Presi?
dent was aware that victory had
perched on the standard of the church.
Rut he kept tho secret, fearing, no
doubt, that the government would
totter and fall if the triumph Of the
Lord Bishop becnnio known. Many
distinguished men have played on tho
President's tennis court and have suc?
cumbed to his supernatural skill. Am?
bassadors have made a show of them?
selves In onler that (be President
might demonstrate his superiority ami
further that tho good understanding
between the White House ami Hiiro
ponn foreign offices might remain un?
impaired. Politicians have displayed
ludicrous helplessness when facing
the President's game. Humbled in
tho tennis court they have boon ox
oltod to public office and have boon
happy ever after. Anon came tho
Lord RUdlop of London, and accepted
an Invitation to take a place among
the President's victims. The soqil?l
proved that the church Is not a^ easy"
as the diplomats ami the politicians,
The Proertdont Is a mighty man of ten?
nis, bill he could not prevail over tho
Lord Rlshop of London. This is the
naked truth as It comes from the Hps
of the bishop himself. Wo must ac?
cept It. hut with sorrow null chagrin.
We had cherished the belief that
there Is no tennis player in the world
who would have nervo enough t'o
bent our chief magistrate on his own
court. We never Imagined, In fact,
that any church dignitary, foreign or
domestic, could tout the President at
his favorite game. Hut the deed has
been done. Tho Lord Rlshop has
brought grief and dlscomllturo upon
our executive. "Ills policies" In re
spect to Invincibility at tennis have
received a fearful Jolt. We tire afraid
the Lofd Bishop Is more of a tennis
player than a courtier. It Is an awful
thing to beat our President nt any?
thing. If there nro any convulsions
of nature within the next few days'
there will be no mystery ns to the
cause.?Washington Post.
THE ANTI-TRUST~LAWS OF
TE/vAS.
Considerable criticism has been ill
, reeted against the anll-tiust and re?
form laws pascd by the Legislature
Ol Texas at Its last session, but there
Can he no doubl thai tho constituted
authorities of the State are onfore-|
ing the acts and they are proving to
be decidedly etfcctlvo In curing tho!
evils of which the people have com-,
plained.
The fact lias been clearly demon-1
strafed (hat the Texas anti trust laws
leach the spot alined at. For exam-!
pie, the International Harvester Com?
pany Is a combine which, perhaps
more than any other has excited tin*j
animosity of the farmers throughout
the country who are far less patient |
titular trust extortBVm than the people
or the cities, If Hie trusts I'll their
pockets directly ami Immediately.
The runners t>r Texas Insisted that
the Harvester trust should ho put out
or business so far as the Tone Star
Stale Is concerned am) the Legisla?
ture respected tin |r command. Las!
week at Auslln the Harvester trust
pleaded guilty In an action brought
against It tor violating the anti trust
laws or the*Stale, paid a flue of $:sr>.
nni) ami agreed that a perpetual In?
junction be entered forbidding It to
operate In Texas.
II Is evident that at the outset tho
co.potation was convinced that the
State of Texas was In earnest; that
there was to he no foolishness in con?
nection wII Ii carrying out the anti trust
laws and all things considered It
would be cheaper for the offender to
settle with the Slate In the castes'
way possible ami bunt for other
fields and pastures new.
II Is Interesting t? note that while
President RoobovoII is talking much
and often about what should I" done
to regulate the trusts, which he does
not regulate, the Slate of Texas Is
dealing most effectively with them
and In a way that is fr.f noise
or spcctitculnrlty. However the ef?
fectiveness ot the work attempted by
? me and Hie lack ot It which has dis?
tinguished tin- record or tho other
may, perhaps, bo attributed to the
fact thai Texas does not depend on
the trusts for campaign contributions!

ot the poem "Truth Crushed to Harth"
was given, and Mr. Chandler will not
