Give Us q Change.

EDS. RECORD MON: We are on the
eve OF an important election, which will
decide who is to govern an important
position IN our city affairs. There are
seven candidates for Chief of Police and
the public have had an opportunity to
settle IN their own minds which one
would fill the bill 10 their satisfaction
But it's an open question if the right man
will be chosen. Time and again we have
elected what we supposed would be clean
handed men, but past experience needs
no reminder on this subject. Promises
have been broken and the present condi-
ton OF affairs is no better, and it is doubt
ful If 1t could be any worse.
Let us see II we can't explain the why
and wherefore of all this. Doesn't it
strike you very forceibly that the lack of
discipline Tor go-as-yOu-please system) is
the result of the lack of head The fact
of the matter is we have for years had
Chief only in name, and the same remark
appIleS TO the position of Captain.
Beng somewhat posted on police affairs
IN other cities | will just mention a few
certain conditions on which police posi-
tlons are held for life. Officers must
patrol their beats constantly; are never
allowed to visit saloons while on duty.
unless officially; no gambling allowed by
othcers; no visiting of lewd houses; con-
Versatlon on street corners strictly pro-
hibited, unless in giving information;
participating in politics not allowed; no
sleeping on watch and no drunkenness
a violation of any of these regulations
means dismissal from service.
How long would our police force re-
main in its present condition with such
regulations as these? Yet, how easy it
would be to enforce them! Plenty of
men can be procured that would gladly
accept positions under these conditions,
and they would live up to the letter of
the law. But that will never be so long
as the right man is not at the head, and
unless his Captain is man of force and
character
The writer of this has seen every regu-
latlon above stated violated in this city
not by all the force, for | wish it under
stood that there are few men acting as
policemen who are above reproach and
should be retained-men OF honor, in
tegrity and social standing, but when
others violate their duty it reflects on all,
like the child that must bear the shame
of its parents.
II there ever was police force in this
world that needs good wedding out it
Is our present one, and 1t is hoped that
we may elect a man that will have the
backbone to enforce just such regulations
as are herein stated, and that he may
have his men look up to him-not he to
them-while in his absence may there be
a Captain that will command the respect
due his position.
Voters, look well to your candidate at
this election. Don't allow the past (and
preSent) to be repeated. Blot out this
stain, and give us police force that will
be a credit, not diShonOr, to our city.

CAN'T FIND KILE.
Officer Simmons Trip to Los Angeles
Was for Naught.
The Slippery Oregonian Makes Good
His Escape-Chief Hoffman's
Chagrin-KiIe's Crime.

The police have about given up hope of
ever recapturing Kile, the Oregon en-
bezzler, who so cleverly slipped away
from them last week.
1t was known that Kile's wife had gone
to Los Angeles SO Officer Simmons was
sent TO that city in the hope that the fugi-
tive would put in an appearance there.
But Kile was not to be caught that easy,
snd evidently gave Los Angeles wide
berth. A telegram was received from
Simmons yesterday stating that he could
not find Kile and that he, the officer,
would take the next train for Sacra-
mento.
Chief of Police Hoffman of Albany, Or.
arrived Saturday morning, armed with
requisition papers, and repaired to the
City Prison to thank Chief Drew fer
making the arrest and to take the pris-
Oner back to the Webfoot State. His
chagrin can well be imagined when he
learned how Kile had duped the Sacra-
mento Chief and given him the slip"
Hoffman was madder than the proverb
ial ''wet hen" He has gone back to
Oregon to await developments. The
most probable theory is, however, that
kile has gone on East and Will not be
Seen out this way again very soon.
The crime which kile is alleged to have
committed was the embezzlement of 500
belonging to the firm of VIII Il Link,
dealers in musical instruments at Albany.
lie was in the employ of the firm as
salesman, and made trips into the coun-
try selling organs and pianos. He is u
smooth talker, as was evidenced by the
manner in which he talked Chief Drew
into giving him his liberty. lie is al
legged to have Systematically robbed the
firm for some time before his peculations

some of the money in realty, and with
the rest has been buying wine and so forth
to such an extent that his excesses have

iority of cases, not even 'thank you" was
