THE PULlCE

BY decision OF the supreme court the
charter provisions relating to the cleo
ton Of police Judge for the city Of
Omaha have been declared unconstitu-
tional and void. The elimination OF
these sections leaves a gap in the law
which should be cured by proper amend
ment by the coming legislature.
The peculiar conditions attending the
business of a police court In a large city
like Omaha make the constitution of the
police judgeship Of grave Importance to
the community. With a court co-operat-
ing with an efficient police department
in an honest effort to keep the city clear
Of professional crooks and notorious
criminal characters, good order and
safety to life and property can be prac-
tically insured. With a court, on the
other hand, catering to the vicious
classes and favoring criminals at every
opportunity, the best police department
is necessarily handicapped.
The question presents itself plainly,
Which will give the city better protec.
tion-an elective police judge or an ap'
pointive police judge? There are doubt
less advantages and drawbacks to each
method of selection. Much would de-
pend upon the good Intentions Of the
appointing power as well as upon the
character of the man vested with the
authority of police magistrate.
1t must be admitted that the expert
ence of Omaha with elective police
judges has not been entirely satisfac
tory. The police court machinery has
been altogether too often perverted by
clever legal tricksters to the promotion
rather than the repression Of crime.
The Bee believes that the disadvan
tages of an elective police judge can bt
avoided and the advantages preserved
by making that officer %appointive by thu
mayor, while at the same time restrict
ing the mayor in his choice to the duly
elected justices Of the peace for the city

Operating u Corn Kitchen at the

Chicago Times-Herald.
One Of the most important results Of the
recent visit of Commissioner General Pech
to Paris was the requirement Of space for
q ''corn kitchen" at the exposition, in
which will be illustrated on a very extensive
scale all the culinary possibilities and
dietetic virtues Of our Indian corn or maize.
1t is highly probable that this exhibit will
possess more novelty and interest to the
European and Asiatic visitors to the ex-
position than any other feature Of the Ameri.

That the arrangement for this concession
Is a timely one Is shown by the increasing

October exports amounted to 12,547,1
