DESTROYING POLICE Discipline.


In the police force of cities. as in the
army, the most important factor for
efficiency is discipline. An army whose
commanders are under cloud or con
stantly changing is easily demoralized,
while IN army whose commanding
officers r known to enjoy permanent
tenure and ample authority to enforce
military regulations may be depended
on to stand almost any ordeal. II the
Omaha police force has lacked In dis
cipline and moral stamina 1t is because
of the everlasting agitation and change
of police boards and police chiefs that
has grown out Of factional political con
tests in which the police and fire de-
partments have beer made the foot ball
of partisan contention. This instability
of police supervision has stimulated in
subordination and general demoralisa-
ton. When policemen are told that a
change Of officers is liable to take place
any day. they naturally become indiffer-
emit and insubOrdinate.
The blame for police decentralization
is, however, not to be laid entirely at
the door of ~self-seeking politicians. 1t is
largely due to the courts, whose judges,
unconsciously, perhaps, play into the
hands of political schemers and lawyers
who make a living out Of discharged
~policemen's back salary claims. In
giving publicity to their views on
the constitutionality of charter provi-
sions relating to the fire and police com
mission they give these lawyers a broad
hint as to what they would hold II cases
involving the point In question were
brought before them, where the supreme
court itself would. under it's own rul
ings, be bound to decline to reopen the
issue.
The effect upon the police and fire de-
partments Of judicial opinions privately
expressed ann but be extremely de
moralizing to the force, and conse
Quently damaging TO the public. While
judges Of the lower courts have a right
to dissent from the views embodied II
supreme court decisions they are moi
expected to reverse the supreme court
nor to exercise its prerogatives IL the
supreme court itself feels constrained
by It's WI record to acQuiesce In exist
ing conditions until they are changed
| by a legislature.
