4 New York Policeman Rewarded For
Catching . Burglar.
Hon Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled 1.-THE Roll Of Honor Of
the New York Police for The Century.
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Early In our term we promoted pa
trolman to the grade of roundsman for
activity in catching a burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances. I hap.
pened to note his getting a burglar one
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit for he got another the next
eek. In the latter case the burglar es-
,apcd from the house soon after mid.
light and ran away toward Park ave-
hue, with the policeman in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there is .
succession of openings in the top Of the
tunnel. Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him, the burglar took .
desperate chance and leaped down one
Of these openings at the risk of break
ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running for his liberty, and it was the
part of wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb, but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump
However, he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous. The bur-
glar had the breath knocked out of him,
and the "cop" didn't. When his victim
could walk, the officer trotted him
around to the station house, and a week
afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing 1pon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems to me that we
followed the eminently common sense
plan of promoting a man who had earn.
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinSuished service and by proved supe.
rior capacity. We cared no more fol
the pOliceman's views on the tariff OF
the currency than we did for those Of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est Of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do bis duty. If he did his duty, w
were for him; if he did not, we were
against him. In neither event did W.
care whether the officer had or had no
the backing of the congressional deiega
ton OF the city or the central committe,
of the county. Of course, as.before, thi
exposed us to wild outcries from tn,
local political bosses and heelers an(
much sneering at "civil servace reform,
but all the outcries and sneers mean
was that we were doing our duty as de
cent men and as public officials, Will
