Experiment POLICEMEN.
some of Them Take Too Many tisef-
ties; white in B.scharge.
Of Their Duty.

The average policeman never hest'
tates to lay on bis hands in the most
confident and immediate manner,
whether upon the comely woman whom
he is escorting across the street or upon
the unwary man whom he is urging
back from unbidden ground. What
business has he Il do il? The woman.
does not need his support, and the ia
miliar touch of his hand upon her arm
orwaist is an unwarranted assault upon
her modesty of person. The man, m
the other case. has not disputed his au-
thority nor defied his word, and it is an
indignity to treat him as though he had
and were a fugitive or aggressive srim-
inal. The policeman has no more
right to use his hands upon anyone,
save in legal restraint. tina any other
citizen. The assumption that his uni
form gives him the right to fondle every
pretty woman's arm or grip a mans
shoulder or collar is one of the grossest
impertinences. Nor is he by any means
the only uniformed offender. The
same habits are INDUCED in by many
of the conductors of street cars. 1t is
sometimes proper, and. indeed neces-
sary. to assist people TO enter or to
such vehicles. especially since they'are
now constructed SOFAS to make such in
eress and egress as difficult and as dan
gerous as possible. But it is perfectly
patent that in many If not most cases
such attentions are not only needless,
but gratuitously. offensive,
= 1t is not, however, in itself that this:
habit is d%etestable, bad though it thus
is. The worst feature of it is that 1t is'a
mark of increasing disregard for rhe
rights. the liberties and. indeed. the
very life of the individual: 1t will be
a sad day for this or for any people
when the rights of the person are made
inferior to those of property or, IN
deed, to any otner. Man is the supreme
thing of all material and created things
and his rights are paramount. 1t is well
to punish the thief or the swindler.
| But it is still more incumbent upon us
to punish him who violates life or limb.
1t has been said in some communities
| that it is easier for n murderer than for
q thief to get clear. There could be no
more appalling Indictment of the al
| ministration of justice than that. l.
true it would rank human life lower
| than gold or silver. 1t is as the first
step toward precisely such a hideous
| state of affairs hat this free and easy
laying on of hands is to be deplored and
resented and suppressed. Grab hold o.
a mans valise or watchchain and there
is a hue and cry and the police come
post haste to vindicte the majesty OF
outraged law-the law of property.
But lay hold with equal lack OF warrant
| of the man himself, and who cares for
! the outraged law in that ease-the law
of the human rerson' 1t is not that we
would regard the law ofhuman life and
limb and freedom more. That is the
ground on which the unauthorized lay
ing on OF hands, on oma or on man,
is to be regarded as a menace and an in
tolerable offense.-N. y. Tribune.
