Judge Roesch admitted to the Lexow
Committee that politics exerted harm
full influence on the police force. Sena-
tor Cantor wanted it understood that
both parties were equally at fault.
And between the leaders of both
parties" Senator O'Connor interjected,
1.-The force suffers" All this goes to
make the very point that public opinion
sought to impress upon the late Legis-
lature. That body had the power. but
lacked the disposition. to apply the
proper remedy for the evil by providing
for a single-headed Police Department.
The Senators and Assemblymen obeyed
Platt instead of the people of New
York. and thus. in a new direction,
politics exerted its harmful influence
over the force and its prospects.

Mayor Gilroy has made q promise to
give all the assistance in his power to
the new Rapid Transit Commission in
carrying out the provisions Of the new
law. regardless Of his individual opinion
Of the merits and constitutionality of the
act. He rightly considers 1t to be his
duty. as public officer. to follow this
course. The promise is a gratifying one.
and there is no reason to doubt that 1t
will be faithfully kept. The Commission
organised yesterday by electing as its
Chairman Alexander e. Orr. who is
President Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Orr. besides being an able business

HOW FAR DOES IT REAcHl


There is no one now who doubts. or
would seriously attempt to deny, that the
police Of New York have been In the
habit Of levying a tax for protection"
on the keepers OF illegal resorts. The
plea that the witnesses who testify to
| having paid the blackmail are lawless
and immoral characters who cannot be
believed on oath, grows weaker and
weaker as Its insufilciency becomes more
and more apparent. II you ignore the tes-
timony Of such persons now, It would be
impossible to obtain any evidence OF the
wrong which undoubtedly exists. The
money Is In all cases paid by the law
breaker into the hands Of the police. No
third person In present. Who. besides the
law-breaker. can testify to the transac-
tion7
II q single person, or II two or three
persons should appear before the Lexow
COMMITTEES and swear to having paid
blood-money to the police, II might be
possible to believe that they were perjur-
ing themselves for revenge or to escape
prosecution for their offenses against the
law. But when numbers of witnesses tes-
tify to the same thing. when their stories
tally in all the details. when they give
the correct names Of the officers to whom
they claim to have paid money. and when
their statements are corroborated in
many ways, the cry of perjury becomes
ridiculous.

police being conceded, the question IL,
