TIE NEIY CHIEF OF POLICE.


He Should be n Man of Broad Gauge
Views and First Glass Capacity.
The views of THE Critic as to the i'm
portance Of the position OF Chief of Police
in this city and the desrabillty Of filling It
with the best available material, are not OF
recent adoption. The results of the recent
investigation have only strengthened opiu-
ions that were fully formed and formu-
lated months ago. On the Goth Of June
last, just previous to the appointment of
Major Walker, The CRITIC expressed itself
edltorlally on this subject as follows:
The office Of Superintendent of Police Is
one of the most important connected with the
affairs Of the National Capital, ana 1t should
bo filled by u man with liberal, COnprehen-
siNe views ot the position and one who las
the ability TO place thi, department upon
plane which will command the respeci Of the
country 81 large rs well as the local COM
munity of the District. II Is q position which
NJ cCssarily has confidential and DIPLOMATS
relations with the officers Of our great Ma.
tlonal Government and tho representatives
and people OF other governments.
There Is no chief OF police on the American
Continent who nc times has such importunt
and delicate trusts contded to his judgment
and discretion. Washington Is 10 LONGER

but II has at last assumed its proud position
as the Cosmopolitan Capital OF the American

and respect Of Congress and the people, and

IL is too Important n position 90 he Oouhded
TO any one who Is in the least tainiel with

ferent beginning, because the coming
session of Congress will be too short to
mature any plan for extensive coast de-

accentuated by the powerful and states

Is there anything more overrated
than the power of legislation to ac-
complish reforms? What is law, q
penal law, if you please! 1t is
simply an ordinance which, having
received legislative majority and
the executive assent, is placed upon
the statute-book, where it remains
theoretically active until repealed.
But, VIGOROUSLY, unless it can COM
mand approval of the public, it will
not, cannot be enforced. Take, for
example, our Sunday laws" So
called. They are practically dead
letter. Public opinion justifies their
enforcement so far rs to prevent
noisy demonstrations on the Sab
bath but hardly beyond this. There
are many reformers whose energy
and zeal are expended utterly in
securing the passage of laws or con-
stitutional provisions, forgetting that
these are but preliminary steps
that they are powerless for good,
unless they represent an irresistible
pressure of conviction which will
stop at nothing short of absolute
enforcement Corr. National Bap'
