ION the night of Jan. Z, the Beers made
simultaneous and determined attacks on

fire continued until $3.50 a. m, when the
Beers We're driven off. One officer was
killed and i~fty-nine wounded. The loss

clared their private belief that the canteen
Is a beneficial feature OF army life and con-

The Journal agrees with this view. yet 1t

have brought about the present result are
actuated by the best of motives. and al
though the consequences will be bad they

The fact that the Anderson Herald is OPP
posed to the bin changing the compensation
OF county officers by giving them a portion
OF the fees which they collect would lead
to the inference that the officers of Madi-
son county had changed their views since
1899. Al that time. and in 1897. officers of
that county &C mplained that because of the
growth OF the county their remuneration
was inadequate. Nevertheless II can be

Must Show No Interest In Police
AppOin ments.

Judge Anderson recently appointed
policemen have received warning that
any disposition upon their part to be
too ;oquacions will not be tolerated
by their Lords and Masters" the
City Commissioners. The new re-
crults have been given to understand
that the donning of policemans
uniform, means the closing of their
lips TO any remarks, which might,
even in a slight degree, reflect upon
any member of the force from its
head to its foot.
To use "A phrase that everybody eau
understand, the ''coppers" are to saw
wood" They are not supposed to have
opinions and II they have they
are not to give expression to
them. The policemen must hence
forth, maintain dignitied silence or
the official aX will drop.
The edict has already gone forth
to the officers. 1t came through the
Chief-of Police channel back of which
is the Board of City Commissioners.
Commissioners McMillen stated
Thursday that talking must cease
among policemen. He denied that an
order had been issued by the Board,
but said that Chief Durkin was only
enforcing the rules governing the
police.
THE police rules cover the point
thoroughly" said Mr.. McMillen. "For
several months past the officers have
talked to much. There was no real
head TO the department and the police
have not been held in restraint.
