Certainly no one is better qualified
to tell "HOw to Protect City from
Crime" than superintendent ByrneS
of the New York Police Department,
who contributes to the North Anle,5-
can Reuieto for July, paper on this
question which promises special
value and significance at this time
when police affairs are the subject of
so much discussion. Superintendent
ByrneS argues that the best way of
protecting community from crime is
by raising the standard of intelligence
among it's members.
City Attorney Young intends to
present new ordinance next Satur-
day night at the council meeting,
which shall impose license upon ped
oilers and still be legal. The ReUielc
critics him, together with the mayor
and police force, for not enforcing the
present ordinance. OF course, any
body at all familiar with the matter
knows that the city attorney has
nothing to do with the enforcing OF
al ordinance, until complaint is made.
1t is the mayors duty to instruct the
police to enforce the ordinances, and
if they are not enforced it shows
either of two things, that the mayor
has not given such orders or that they
have been disobeyed. While City At
torney Young Is undoubtedly right so
far as the law is concerned, we believe
that the ordinances as they are should
be enforced, and that this is the only
way now open to get rid Of peddlers.
Not one peddler in thousand would
take the time and expense to contest
the ordinance, and if.they did not pay
the license but moved on, SO much the
better.

Mr.. G. e. Dinehart, of Slayton,
has a fine bay PAGER here, being
handled by Mr.. Seeley, and also a two
year old FLY. The bay is five or six
years old, and is by Woodford Wilkes.
