jclined to discount the alleged degree)
of refinement in the cruelty. The
brutality, the insolence wo question
little enough, knowing, as all police
reporters can testify, that such qual-i
ities are not peculiar to Miami's gen-;
darmes, but are characteristic, in gen
eral of too many of the police classes.
America has heard much yammering
about crime waves and law enforcement
that meant exactly nothing.
Always the prophets of alarm
point to England, shouting wildly
over London's 17 murders as against
New York's hundreds per annum.!
Now for this discrepancy between the
two lands, there are many inherent
reasons, not to be removed, many of
them, by any change in our methods
of dealing with crime once accomplished.
A shifting kaleidoscopic
population, such as ours, invariably
produces more crime than a stable
one like that of EngljinjL^The weak
fall behind, stumble, turn criminal.
'The ruthless find themselves unhind|ered
by the ties of a fiked family life,
the steadying restraint of a constant
environment. That is one reason.
There are others. But insofar as
our methods of dealing with crime
ex post facto is responsible for our
ills, our police system is a leading
problem.
If England's cops are efficient, it
is not by chnnoe. If her people look
upon the policeman as a friend, the
symbol of aocial protection, it is no
accident. Similarly, if the American j
cop rarely catches a genuine crimi-j
pal. if he bags merely the little fry,
it is matter of Itick. If the average
American citizen both hates and fear.*
a cop, it is no matter pt wanton cusa-|
edneaa in the average American. And
all the caterwauling under heaven about
the dear friendly cops and the
necessity of making up with him
won't change the aituution in the
slightest.
The English cop is handpicked. The:
Scotland Yard man's antecedents ure
carefully examined by competent In I
vestigators. He must pass examina-j
lions to establish mentality of a rea-j
sonubly high order. He is put thropgh
an extensive schooling regime. Then
he is placed on probation. Hundreds
are dismissed after this trial period.
Those who make good are paid a
wage which makes the career attractive
to men of capacity. Approach '
one, under whatever trying conditions, I
you get only courtesy. There is no
storming in traffic, no swearing at an
erring driver, no overbearing belligerency,
no "move on, you!" but
"pardon, Sir, it is forbidden to halt
here." All the difference there.
Finally, he is not turned loose with
gun and blydgeon to browbeat prisoners,
to shoot down and kill, sometimes
in the back.
Hut it's different with the American
pqjteeman,?Charlptte News.
Washes, Carries Coal,
Woman Gains 18 Pounds
"I wash, iion and carry coal and
don't get tired since taking Vinol.
Also, I have'gained 18 pounds."?
Mrs. C. Cortese.
Vinol is a delicious compound of
cod liver peptone, iron, etc. Nervous,
easily tired, anemic people are
surprised how Vinol gives new pep,
sound sleep and a BIG appetite.
The very FIRST bottle often adds
several pounds weight to thin children
or adults. Tastes delicious.

Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pu'b-~
lished as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried 1
editor and The Chronicle doea not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
The mother of Captain Wilkins,
who Hew over the North Pole recently,
is "glad my boy George has
done what he set out to do. Wo
mothers don't say juuch, but we feel
a lot.'*
Mrs. Wilkins thinks her son "made '
more of what he learned in a little
country school thun many men have (
been able to make of a college edu- 1
cation." He built character in that >
little school.
The public school is the American 1
school of opportunity. 1
I
Have you horses or cows? Ask 1* ;
M. Woolley, builder and head of the
American Radiator Company, about i
his development of a vacuum cleaner
for horses and cattle.
This writer, after tests, finds that <
the vacuum process cleans horses and
cows to perfection, better, more quick- 1
ly and economically than could be j
done by hand.
. i
All dust, including the hair, is carried
into a receptacle by air current.
Horse barns and cow stables can bo
kept in perfect order, production of
jlean milk made easier, by the new
method. And grooms no longer are
obliged to breathe in dust as they
clean the animals. Those who can
afford the machine should use it, and
in dairies of any size its use should
he compulsory?it takes diseasebreeding
flies with it.
Following the violent enrthquako
shocks in southeastern Bulgaria,
many peasants went insane. Such
insanity is caused by a combination
of ignorance and superstition. An
earthquake in this country, or a big
fire, like that in Chicago, brings on
a frenzy of rebuilding, and a boom
in real estate.
We do not know much, and are not
free from superstition. But we know
enough not to go crazy when the
earth slips and shakes a little.
With a few exceptions, like the
Iribson earthquake, superstitions fear
has always been the worst part of a
quake. Superstition has believed that
the Lord was shaking the earth in
anger. We know that old earth is
only settling into her final shape,
meaning harm to nobody.
The South is energetic and growing.
Governor Smith of New York
chose well selecting North Carolina
fpr his golf holiday. He is studying
one of the most amazing progressive,
States of the Union.
These five men, northbound*.>from
Miami, got. off the train at Asheville,
N. C., the other day to pay their
respects to the Governor: Judge
Olvaney, Surrogate James F. Foley,
Bernard F. Gimbel, George Le Boutlllier,
vice-president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in charge of its subsidiary,
the Long Island Railroad and
Arthur Foran, -all of New York.
They all agree that North Carolina
typifies the South and American
progress generally.
"The whole Stafc," mU B. F.
Gimbel, "seems as closely built up
as the area between New York and
Philadelphia."
v The Cannon Towel Mill, biggest
oh earth, employs 5,000- men and
women. The well known B. V. D.
gentlemen and the great Chicago
firm of Marshall Field have enormous
manufacturing plants in North
Carolina. Other manufacturing institutions
spring up daily.
The State has water power practically
unlimited, at low cost, avi
energetic working population and extremely
good living conditions.
Don*t- overlook North Carolina In
your plans.
Flood waters of the White River
have overewept levees, sweeping
through five counties in Arkansas.
In Mississippi the Tombigbee and
LuxapaliHa rivers are nearing thedanger
stage. More rain before
Wednesday would mean serious
danger. t
Perhaps the Government will decide
that $760,000,000 invested in
flood control would be cheaper than
another flood.
- ^ ^BrOtfford, president of the
VmtfricMii Telegraph & Telephone
ompany, will spend two thousand
ullion dollars on new construction
'> the next live years. Uncle Sam
? rich enough to spend bne-third that
