A CHEAP POLICE II any city of ten or
twelve thousand inhabitants get along cheap
er with It's police establishment than Can
ton, we should like to hear tel of it. We
nave but one solitary police officer, Marshal
Oldfield, al a salary of $500 q year. Our
city, too, is as quiet and orderly as towns
of this size usually are. Marshal Oldfeld
remains on duty always till after midnight,
aud his daily average of time on duty is
about l6 hoursl This, of course, includes
Sunday. We think assuredly our Marshal
earns his money. The best feature about
our city Marshal Is, that he is a peace Off =
Ger, preserving order and not stirring up
rows to make business, and infiict fines and
costs upon poor frail mortals who may be
weak in the flesh. In Akron, for instance,
they have a city marshal at a salary of $500
a year-a deputy marshal at $500, and six
night police in addition In Wooster they
have one marshal and six policemen. In
this way we might go on with this compar-
ison, and show that Canton gets along
very cheap indeed.
In many towns, too, the marshal acts as
constable, as Mr. Oldield does. This does
not interfere with the discharge of his du-
ties as Marshal, for he is not outside of the
city four hours per month. Besides, a city
marshal is like other people, made of bones,
muscle, nerves, &C., and in law and reason,
ten hours per day is held to be aday's
work, and we do not presume that more
could be expected of a police officer.
We make these remarks in order to show
the economical management of our police
arrangements, and ina measure to give due
credit to a faithful city marshal Our citi-
zens appreciate Marshal Oldfeld, TOR he
was re elected last April by the handsome
majority of lbs, about one hundred ahead
of his ticket.

hugely. 1t is good:
''Sir Walter Scott was, in one of his
walks, leaning on the arm of his faithful
attendant, Tom Purdie. Tom said ''Them
are fine novels of yours, Sir Walter they
are Just invaluable to me-" I'm glad to
hear il, Tom" Eyes, sir, for when l have
been out all day hard at work, and come
home very tired, and take up one of youI
novels, I'm asleep directly"
