The summer girl is!
What a bird!
Have you ever heard

What wonderful hiker
Straight to mems hearts,
With her cute little arts
And her graces
Her fiuffs and her
Ribbons and laces;
Her SrSfles and her signs.
Her varying eyes.
The touch of her hand.
The rapture of-oh. my land!

You long have sought
And mourped because
You found 1t nought?
Well, l guess
She is the limit of loneliness.
She,
Bosses the sea,
And the mountains fall
Down at her call.
No matter where you find her,
No matter where she dwells--
In lovely summer villas
Or any old hotels
She yields her magic sceptre
She sits upon the throne.
And claims. without distinction.
All mankind as her own.
And what does mankind
Think about II?
Well. don't shout it
Whisper 1t soft and low;
He's willing to be her subject
For a couple of months or SO
But after that

convinced that an outrage has been COM
mitted, wants the matter hushed up, the
Commissioner is almost helpless. Any
investigation he might undertake would
be hampered seriously, II not thwarted
absolutely, by the unwillingness Of all
hands to tell the facts--the victim be-
cause of the fear of future persecution,
the police because OF the false notion that
they must stick together.
Usually the victims Of such assaults
are not powerful or well known per-
sons. They fear the police, and dare not
proceed against them. No strong pub
lie sentiment backs them UP when they
do make complaints or sustains them
when they feel the results of persecution.
Therefore complaints are not pressed,
and each unpublished outrage adds to the
conviction Of the police that they are i'm
mune from prosecution.
Neither Commissioner McADoo nor any
other man can put stop to police abuses
until the citizens generally demand it.
In this, as in all other matters OF admin
stration, the citizens get what they will
put UP with, and nothing better; and po-
lice lawlessness is as much the feult Of
the public az it is of the police.

group of its membership.
On the manner OF enforcing an arbi-

"We believe that the DEGREES of the in

by the power of public sentiment and by
the fear of the loss Of world respect on the
part Of any nation against whom an award
