STRICTER METHODS NEEDED,

If the police committee of the coun-
Gil are correct in their statements to
shortage of Ex-Chief of Police Craig,
the past methods of keeping the ac-
counts of the police department have
been about as loose as they could be,
and if new and safer methods have not
been adopted they should be at once
as a matter of protection to the city.
In fact it seems that there has been no
system except such as the chief of the
department saw proper to employ,
making it an easy matter for him to
manipulate the affairs of that depart
ment in a manner that the city could
be defrauded almost without detec-
ton.
The committee says in their report
that Craig's shortage, SO far as they
were able to obtain the facts, aggre-
gates $533. but they add that it might
be $500 or $4,000 and the committee
be no wiser 1t is an injustice to the
police for such loose business methods
to prevail. The affairs of the depart
ment are liable to become entangled
and a shortage shown when really no
shortage exists. 1t is liable to bring
shortage existed. 1t is liable to bring
a good officer under suspicion, if not
an open charge of defalcation, when
he has made all his accountings hon.

they had andopted a different system,
and it is to be hoped that it will prove
efficient. but if it does not let it be i'm
proved upon until it properly meets
the requirements as they should be
met.
Ninety per cent of the defalcations
of public officials are due to the very
lax methods permitted in the various
departments of public trust The
Craig affair should prove a valuable
lesson to the city, and if there are any
other departments of the city govern
ment in which the strictest business
methods and accountings have not ana

made that would bring them up to the
standard that would prevail were the

might be little chamber up aloft
where the ladies may discuss politics

SITUATION WELL STATED.

Helena and Pine Bluff have perform
ed what has long been said to be an
impossible thing; that is to say, they
have closed the Sunday saloon. Little
Rock, looking on with astonishment,
has determined to make an effort in
the same direction. On the other hand
Little Rock has set Pine Bluff and
Helena good example in the matter
of closing the obnoxious and demoral.
izing poo-room. 1t is quite agreeable
for cities, like brethren, to dwell to-
gether in unity, and SO if Little Rock
copies us where we are right and we
copy Little Rock where she is right,
we may set such a pace in right living
as will put all our neighbors on their
mettle.-Helena World.
The World states the situation very
correctly, and the Graphic has urged
it upon the city authorities to close
the pool rooms in Pine Bluff, but under
the pretense of needing the revenues
the authorities license the pool rooms
to do business. The city can get along
without the money thus secured, and
it would be far better for the young
men of the city if the pool rooms were
made to close.
In Pine Bluff the city undertakes to
legalize the operation of gambling
houses by assessing a monthly fine
of $25 month. The rate was $40 a
month, but it was recently raised to
$25, and it is understood between the
keepers of the gambling houses and
the city authorities that this sum be
paid monthly, and it is paid without
any kind of prosecution, except that it
is entered of record in the city court
as if fine had been imposed and col
lected by prosecution in the court. 1t
is disgrace to the city to thus raise
revenue by setting the law at naught.
Pine Bluff may yet come around all
right If it does not it will not be
because the Graphic has not done its
duty by endeavoring to get the authori.
ties to do the right thing.
