There is a very general tendoncy to tako the complainant's part whon a policeman is accused or wrong. This was true when the man Jlrown accused Detective Detec-tive Glenn of Improper use or power. A policeman does have a mighty advantage over the ordinary citizen, and ir he cares lo abuse It ho enn go a long way The only thing in the present case that appeals to mo Is tho rather lllmsy char-actor char-actor or Glenn's original alleged oiTonse. Drown says he and his wire wcro walking decorously along tho street when Glenn ogled tho womah, bolng rather persistent persist-ent in tho atlontlon, and annoying her. That is a protty hard caso to prove Hut ir ho didn't Glonn isn't lit ror tho service serv-ice and would desorve puulshmont even in privnto lira. Possibly tho mayor IS a IftUo too l'oady to accept tho policeman's view or tho ease; a little too mtrch inclined to Indorse the actions or any member or the rorce. But he can not be expected to Tollow the contrary policy. It wouldn't be much encouragement en-couragement to n policeman to know that any charge against him would ho ac-copted ac-copted as true by tho mayor nnd that tho accusod would hnvo to provo hhnscT nnt iriilllv ir Olonn Is in tho habit or ogling women wo-men an tho street ho should ho stripped or his star and sent into some loss decorative deco-rative lino or human endeavor, ir the present charge against him doosn't hold good, and his charge against his accuser does hold good, then Urown ought to pay a line, and learn a lesson. A policeman isn't always right, nut then, on the other hand as tho comodlin sold when he changed his gloves lie Ian t always wrong, either. Tho Strongost Woaknoss. That title isn't as rank as you might think. Arkansas men with the ague used to reply, when neighbors asked artor their health, that they were "powoiTul weak." Pardon ir wo borrow the Arkansas idiom. Nothing argues so strongly against tho proposod plan or putting all government directly into tho hands or tho people as tho fact that tho pcopln will do nothing-with nothing-with Jt when they Unci It thero. You can load a horso to water, hut you enn't make him drink. You may wlpo out tho last vostlgo or representative govornmont and lodge everything rrom inltlutlvo to execution execu-tion In tho whole body or tho peoplo nnd they will play with It whllo It Is new, making ducks and drakes or It moro orten than otherwise; and tlioy will tako Just as much interest in politics as they do now and no more. That Is protty well provon in the sntes whore tlioy huvo run most mad in the now governmental theories. Oregon has tried It, and the rollows who cou'Un't get anywhere under a representative evs-tem evs-tem can by pernicious activity secure the passage or laws that aro helpful tn them tina to nobody else on tho rootstool. And In spite or tl 3 Tact that Oregon proh ably is more completely in possession or the prophets or the Impossible, that Is the very worst governed stntc or the Union. I rather like this comment by an able writer In San Francisco's Town Talk: Abundant evidence or mis ha been furnished wherever provision has been made for a multiplicity or popular otcs. Tho intent Instance occurred In Cohindjus, 0., vnere the people have dPcfurcd lh Tavor of iit (lraniliff 6t a new charter. The masses demonstrated demonstrat-ed by staying away rrom the polls that they were not at all lqterested In the subject Three out or every four vutcrs nLisiahiutl from y alius umi itlio election wns, carrlca by an? In- slgnlllcaill njajbrlty fir about lno vliteA in si. S'or tner pappfs tirNirrtity nrdollliy promoted tho movement In the naino or I'rogressivlsm. They conductod what Is known as a vigorous vigor-ous campaign, nnd by tho usual artrul mothods or American Journalism they tried to suggestlonlzo tho masses, to mako the people believe that a now charter was a m.atter or tho most urgent necessity." When tho polls closed It was round that barely ten thousand votes were polled rrtim a population above t wo hundred thousand. In time or course tho people peo-ple will revolt against being taxed to promote the rivalries and ambitions or their pestirorous politicians, and some day they will clamor ror tbo opportunity op-portunity to go to the polls and put tho agencies or govornmont where thoy bolong. Tho now system dbes present opportunities oppor-tunities ror the grarter, tho soir-seeker artd tho demagogue, nut' their gain is purchased pur-chased only at the expense or tho deserving deserv-ing people or the natldn. Qood Placo For An Art Institute Just south or tho l.araycttc school Is n largo parcel or vacant ground that would mako an admirable location ror an art Institute In-stitute Part or II Is said to belong to tho Prank Armstrong estate, and part to David Keith. Its east rront Is on North Stntc street and when tbo Stute Capitol Is completed that street will bo a mighly much travelled highway. An art Institute thero would bo one moro worthy Show-placo Show-placo ror Salt Lake as well as a desirable ractor In tho education or our own people. Thero aro mon and women now living In caso on riches won In Utah, who could porpotuato name and publish appreciation by erecting on tho ground mentlbnetl a irmsoum or nrts that would bo lovingly chorlshod by our people always. One man provided a public library. Another An-other made possible the Morcy hospital. Still another has addod liny thousand dollars dol-lars to tho endowmont or tho Stato unl-voreliy. unl-voreliy. Tho completion or tho Tour would happily round out a most com-mondable com-mondable work, nnd a valued equipment Tor Utah's coming generations. "Whoro Tho Worm Dloth Not." I know there Is a Hell.
