MORE POLICEMEN NEEDED

We are Informed that there are at
present about forty prisoners IN the
city jail. That is greater number
we believe. than has been heretofore
entertained at the Kimball hotel. Most
Of them have to b. detained IN idlenoss'

ers be chosen who can be confirmed,
II has been a settled understanding and
policy that the police and FIRE depart
ments should be bipartisan. Nothing
has been brought forward to justify a
change Of that policy. OF course, II is
to be expected that when appointments
are made for the heads Of departments,
they Will be In harmony with the party
in control OF the city government, But
this does not extend to subordnates,
Personal differences and antipathies
ought not to interfere with the proper
conduct of municipal affairs, The pub
lie interest should receive the first con-
sideration, 1t Is necessary for the
city's welfare that the police force
always somewhat inadequate as to
numbers, should not be depleted. There
is need for every patrolman allowed
by the citys regulations, 1t looks like
small chld's play to continue the pres
ent obstruction and palterlng with po-
lice affairs

for the place they should ba confirmed,

ers chosen. The prisoners In the city
jail ought to be put to N1rk, but they
cannot be turned loose on the streets
without proper guards. The general
public have no sympathy whatever
with the petty disputes that seem so
important to some of our public ON
clals, why not drop these unlmport-
aut sQuabbles, and get together and
study the public interest and munich

WITNESSES AT BAPTlSMs.

Editor Deseret News
viii you kindly answer the follow
Ing question, which came NJ In con-
nectlon with the subject Of baptism as
treated In the Manual; Are two or
more witnesses required to every bap-
tism? Those who have been on mis-
slons OF late say that this is the rule,
hut earlier missionaries were not in
structed in this way
We do not see why any question Of
the kind mentioned should come up in
connection with the Manual There Is
nothing that we can find in that work
which states that witnesses are re-
uuired TO every baptism We think a
groat deal OF discussion is held when
the subjects treated in the Manual are
under consideration that is not war
ranted by anything to be found therein.
We presume the idea Of two or more
witnesses Is derived from the require
ment as TO baptism for the dead, spok
en- Of IN the Doctrine and Covenants.
In the baptism OF the iVlnB, u IN bet
ter 10 have witnesses when they can be
obtained. but there is no revelation or
rule on counsel that We know Of which
makes that essential Many persons
have been baptized into the Church
and confirmed by the waters side
without any persons being present 9th
er than the bapti2er and the baptized
and we have never heard the validity
Of those administrations brought into
question II the subjects presented IN
the Manual are considered along thc
lines suggested In the questions that
are prepared great deal OF prodtless
contention would be avoided

they have attacked, losing heavily and
