CITY OFFICIAL
THERE IS no doubt that the weather bureau renders valuable service
to the country, and especially to shipping by its attempts at fore
casting the weather, but its faiulures are not infrequently more
striking than its achievements. During the past month or six weeks "fail
weather" has been mostly restricted to the predictions of the bureau. It is
more or less exasperating to read in one's newspapers on, or the postal card
sent out by the weather people that the weather is "fair with light-winds,"
when it is raining in torrents and the wind is tearing furiously through the
streets. Of course, the fact is to be realized that meterology is young as a
fcience. At the same time local conditions may, and frequently do, set at
naught seemingly reasonable forecasts based on widespread cylonic . move
ments. But when all allowances has been made, it is not easy to understand
why the weather bureau should so strikingly have failed to give warning of
the terrific storm which overwhelmed Cleveland a week ago and lashed the
great lakes into fury for days after. An adequate appreciation by the work
ers in the bureau at Washington of what was known to be moving eastward
from the Rocky Mountains would unquestionably have saved many lives and
much shipping. It does not appear that the masters of lake vessels had any
more impressive warning than. the formal and familiar announcement of
"generally fair ; colder, brisk to high winds." The brisk winds proved to be
a hurricane, but either the weather men were careless or they knew no more
about it than other people.
O
WHETHER IT BE IN New York, Chicago, or Portland, police of
ficials who are constantly thrown in contact with the underworld
and meet daily in their routine work all of the criminal elements
of a large city tend toward corruption and only periodical investigations ever
seem to have an effect toward the cleaning up of administrations.
The evidence that has been produced in the Portland police scandal
ranges from little games in the back room of the police station to the actual
acceptance of money for services rendered. Whether this is true or not, may
never be shown unless the Multnomah county grand jury returns indictments
and the matters get into the courts.
There is a very evident scheme in the testimony that has been produced
thus far. The police officers are making one or two men in the service "the
goats" for the rest and are trying to clean their own skirts by shifting the re
sponsibility to the rest. The Avhole thing is a dirty political mess from start
to finish. If the police forces of our cities cannot be kept straight and if
There Never Was a
TimeThat the Stage
Was Better
Than It: Is Today
By BRANDER MATTHEWS. Academic Critic and Student of
the Drama '
JUST at present we hear some talk about the DECADENCE OF THE
DBAMA, some opinion expressed that the drama is as bad as it
can be. But these views are voiced, I think, largely by those who
FAIL TO CONSIDER THE STAGE AS A WHOLE and really fix
their attention on one or two plays unwisely exploited.
THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION THAT THE STAGE TODAY IS
FAR BETTER THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS PERIOD, CERTAINLY OF
THE UNITED STATES.
K K ?
Fifty years ago the drama of the English language was simply con
temptible. There was at that time a sharp division between literature
and the drama. So bad were conditions then that respectable people wer6
DBIVEN AWAY FEOM THE THEATER except when they went to
see a great actor Booth, Kean, Cushman, for example. In those days
respectable and discriminating people never went to the theater to see
pictures of contemporary life, for 6ucb pictures were not to be found on
the stage. For pictures true to contemporary life people read novels.
What is particularly hopeful about the playwrights of today is that
they are not trying to be literary. They are TRYING TO BE IN
TERESTING, and most of them are trying to be TRUTHFUL. By
"literary truth" I do not mean portrayal of the external facts of life, but
fidelity to the inner life, and it is this inner life that the younger men are
trying to get. Personally I think the drama will be MORE IMPOR
TANT THAN PROSE FICTION during the next twenty-five years.

the city administrations can not be purified without these periodical investi
gations, there is something radically wrong wth our system, and, very evi
dently something radically wrong with our police personnel and methods.
From the testimony that has come out through the course of several po
lice scandals' over the country, there are few law-abiding officers on our big
city forces. About the time that a man gets located on a police force, he pro
ceeds to fall into the general rut of taking things easily and making money as
readily and with as little effort as he can, whether it comes honestly or' not.
These things are called to our attention by several scandals that have been
reported through the country in the past few years. 'Even civil service has,
apparently, little effect in placing the men on the same footing that the law
requires other citizens to maintain. Constant association with- criminals
seem to make even the police force criminal and negligent in its administra
tion of justice.
There is evidence in the Portland case to show that the police even perse
cuted certain members of the underworld because they refused to swear falsely
on the stand and did not obey the injunctions that were issued by the heads of
the department through the rank and file of the force.
It does seem as though some method could be devised in our large cities
by which the officers could be protected from the temptation to graft and the
public preserved from persecution at the hands of those who are authorized to
enforce the law. Gambling policemen, law evading officers of the law are
not wanted on any police force and the sooner that they are discharged, the
better and cleaner will be the city administration.

C APTAIN KETCHAM of the Yale football team indignantly declares
that the Yale players will not be numbered for the accommodation
of spectators and newspapers writers, and adds for the edification of
all whom it may concern that the game is not for the newspapers or for the
public, b,ut for, the colleges. Captain Ketcham should back up. He has got
his signals mixed. How long does he suppose the colleges would be able to
support the game on its present expensive scale if the substantial interest of
the public were eliminated ? And how would public interest in the sport be
fostered and stimulated if not by the newspapers?- If football is played for
the colleges alone, how does Captain Ketcham explain the frequency with
which games are played outside of college grounds? The public includes a
very considerable number of college alumni many of them Yale alumni.
The same may be said of the newspaper profession. Would Captain Ket
cham ignore this element of press and public, along with the rest. I his
theory were correct, the Yale football treasury in two years would be as lean
as a starved weasel. .

CHEER UP!
From many sides come witnesses to
assure us that if we would prosper
mentaily, physically and materially we
must cheer up. Nothing is gained by
grumpiness. say our official and unoffi
cial advisers.
First, we have the testimony of a
Philadelphia lady that if we desire to
live long we must guard against low
spirits. "Be happy If you wish to
reach a good old age." says this wom
an. She ought to know, for she has
been a resident of this world (formerly
miscalled a "vale of tears") for 105
years.
So, you see. if you want to live long
you must be cheerful.
Then we have the testimony of cer
tain physicians of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Medical school, one of the high
est in America, that good cheer and a
smile are preventives of threatened ap
pendicitis and other intestinal disor
ders. In other words, if you are cheerful
enough you may "jolly" your vermi
form appendix into thinking there is
nothing the matter with it. To those
who insist on going through life with
grouches the doctor says:
"Worry and you'll get a pain In the
side." .
You see, don't you, that if you want
to be healthy you simply have to be
cheerful?
Moreover, every one knows that busi
ness success depends in a great 'meas
ure on a smiling exterior. Even the
inanimate place of business, the store
or shop which presents a smi&rg ex
terior, is more likely -to be successful
than the one with a forbidding appear
ance. Here's a human Instance:
A successful seller of bonds for one
of the big city houses returned to bead
quarters recently and reported that he
had been unable to do any business
hoonjuut h haA fait 'blt.? "When
you feel cheerful you get orders," he
said.
If you are not convinced now that
you must be cheerful you are a . hope
less case. Everything and everybody
tells you so. so you must believe it
How about the things that tend to
take away your cheerfulness? you ask.
There are no such things. "Forget
them!" as the ulang phrase has it
Or, if you are of a literary mind and
prefer a translation from a foreign lan
guage, listen to this from the German:
"Schwamm darueber!"
That means "Wipe it out!"
(Literally it means "Sponge over it!")
SELF RELIANCE.
Humility is the part of wisdom and
is most becoming in men. But let
no one .discourage self reliance. It
is, of all, the greatest quality of true
manliness. Louis Kossuth.
