Once a Londoner, always a Londoner; and it is not easy to see bow £730. or £700,000, can do away with the heart ache of enforced exile. Good North Tus, Countrymen and Midlanders feel a con- siderable contempt for the Cockney's Wed absorption in Cockaigne-until they he come Cockneys themselves.

The Londoner is charged by such critics. with being provincial-minded and narrow in thinking of Lendon as the only town. But the fact is quite otherwise. Being a Londoner & true. Londoner, that, we brings one into a sympathetic relation with every other great city of merit. It

is rather like belonging to one of those BOARD great clubs which have affiliations abroad, so that, whether one finds oneself in Sydney or Tokyo, in Rio or Bombay, one can always walk into a sort of home from home.

The Londoner is honorary mem- ber of everywhere,

It is the true Londoner who best ap- preciates the altogether different charm of Paris, who can find most to please "him in New York or Chicago or San Fran cisco, and who can get the maximum out of Egypt or the South of France. He does not love any good place less because he loves London more. But always the true pleasure of foreign travel is the re discovery of London at the end of it. How many Londoners would accept what, according to their position, is a just suffi- cient competence if it implied a definitive farewell to London? And what is the figure in such a man or woman's mind which would really compensate him or her for never hearing again the roar of the buses.-Er.

THE PERFECT POLICEMAN.

"Taking one consideration with another,' we were long ago informed, a policeman's lat is not a happy one. A fresh reason fas this depressed condition of the con- stabulary has just been suggested at the Fathering of delegates of the Police Federation. Mr. David Edwards, in wel

to be a soming them, pointed out that successful policeman required the, pati- of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, the ambition of Napoleon, and the courage of Mr. Lloyd George. It must have been a welcome rather overwhelming to a modest man, and but few of the dele-

quite "p to the specification. Non omnia pozяumus `ominer. To be Napoleon is enough for any man. He should not hope to be Mr. Lloyd George as well. But the fact that these tremendous and varied powers are all required to make a successful policeman may explain the melancholy of the constabulary. Perhaps it is not due, as we had hitherto sup- posed, to the fact that their experience of human nature is; owing to the exigen- cies of their profession, unfortunate." A policeman, however dearly by nature be loves his fellow-creatures, must be op pressed at times, by the suspicion that those of them who are not knaves are fools. For when he is not engaged in dealing with the first claws he will pro- bably be orcupied with the second. We suspect that the most wonderfal tales in the archives. of Scotland Yard Bru not of the desperate wickedness of the human heart, but of what fools these mor- tals be. The perfect policeman, how- ever, endowed with the patience of Job, will suffer fools gladly. How any mortal man is to combine Jah's patience with Napoleon's ambition we cannot tell. The two qualities seem made to neutralise each other, like acid and alkali.. But the insistence on patience as a quality necessary to the perfect policeman is surely a very English idea. In what other country do they expect patience of police! The prevale it opinion thair

abroad is that patience is for the public in dealing with a policeman, whose tone should be either that of the sergeant- major or of the bureaucrat. Only in our happy frland is the policeman-con- tent to be a guide, philosopher, and friend. "The watch ought to offend no mau,” quoth Nogberry---Daily Telegraph.
