on the 18th of September ninety
young men of our village formed a com
mittee and each night from that date TO
September 30th, inclusive, six Of their
number patrolled our streets. as a night
police. We think they are deserving of
great credit, and it is no fault of theirs
that the village refused to employ per-
manent night police patrol. For fifteen
days there was ample guard. AS we
have often said, the immunity from out
RACES is no commendation of our system,
it is simply the mercy of the criminal
classes. The people win awaken to this
fact so ne day.
