COMPLAINTS are becoming more and
more frequent about the glsring iuef-
ficiency OF the police in dealing with
some Of the worst forms of vice which
infest this city. We say inetficiency,
for In the absence OF unquestionsble
proof We would not like to say, las many
have said privately, that there is con-
nivanoe. The state of affairs on Utah
and Stanton streets Is so we'll known
that IL needs no detailed description to
make the nuisance known. Every citi-
zen knows OF 1t. Every policeman knows
of IL. IL is = disgrace TO the city that
such things are permitted to go on in
this loose and uncontrolled manner.
Andlthe gsmbling-men and women
passing along the streets in the middle
OF the day can hear the calling of of
keno numbers in the halls running at
full blast. Men, who through their in
nuence or otherwise, lead other men to
enslave themselves to the gambling
vice, hopelessly, fatally, are worse en-
emies To the community than muir

IT MUST be clear to- every right
minded man that the city agents Of the
express companies did exactly the
right thing yesterday in absolutely
refusing TO be buncoed by the mayor
and the city clerk. This little
game OF the administration 10 on par
with the practice OF the author
tiles to give full swing to the gambler
and other dens OF vice in this
city In return for blood money taken
from these enemies OF the comm unity
each month under the guise of q fine.
It 10 not TO be said that the city author
titles are actually making any money
for themselves out OF the funds extort-
ed illegally out OF the gamblers and
prostitutes, but 1t lie to be said
that the element OF the pop
ulation involved in the transsc-
ton Is we'll organized aud very ag-
gressive. always ready to work and to
spend money IL IL can gain any bad
end by so doing. This element is one
that the present political ring, in con-
troll OF the city government, does not
dare TO break away from. Consequent
ly things are winked at every day
that should bring the blush of shame
to the cheek OF every
man even remotely connected with
the abuse. We do not here mean TO
blame the gamblers themselves. That
10 their business-to get as much rs
they can out Of the city and out OF the
citizens. So with the prostitutes. We
do no: particularly blame the chief OF
police or any individual policeman.
They are but hencnmen, and
are not supposed to have any minds of
their own. But we do blame most Sc
verely the city administration, who
have adopted rs n definite policy a
thoroughly dishonorsble and disrepu-
table course Of action in regard to
crime and vice. We believe that
public sentiment in this town is
dead against the policy of the admi-
nistration. But the trouble is that
votes do not go with the sentiment
During the last few days we have
heard some OF the strongest complaints
from righteous citizens who
voted for the ring, who do not dare
to break with the ring, and who
will continue to vote for the ring I'M
ill they are awakened to their
real duty. Good church members and
good citizens, who ought to know bet
ter, by their votes become accomplices
In crime aud vice of the worst descrip-
ton. They are no better friends TO
The community when they thus stulti-
fy themselves than the lowest of the
low.

IT would seem rs If some way should
be devised to honor properly the Of
ficers of the navy and army who
particularly distinguish themselves in
action without actually lowering the
rank OF many other deserving officers
who are doubtless just as capable but
who have not had the opportunity to
show their mettle. 1t should be KEEP.
In mind that when an officer is
promoted over the heads OF . number
of brother officers this action In &C.
tuality reduces the rank OF those Of
ficers. For instance, Capt. Clark of
the Oregon, than whom no officer has
shown himself more competent, is
actually lower in rank today than he
was before the war began. That is, he
Is further from q rear admirably than
he was three months ago.
