London. May 9.-In the course of
Yesterdays debate on the educational
bill in the house of commans, David
Lloyd George president of the board
of trade, repudiated the assertion of
certain bishops that the bill was an
attack on the Church of England or.
any particular church. It was, he de-
sclared, merely the counterpart OF sim
liar movements occurring in every
democratic county. The democracy
had come to the conclusion that cleri-
rcaltsm was their enemy and the people
had determined to, rally round the
Bible and demanded that no ecclesias-
tic or politician should be allowed to
intervene between their children and
the great book which had saved Eng=
land from darkness.

MANY CRYING NEEDS.

Many. indeed, are the tasks which young men
OF wealth and leisure might attempt for the bet
ternent of the city. Their vigilance. for
ample might obtain better service from the Po-
lice Department. Some months ago alarming
number OF burglaries aroused the community
70 the fact that the police were especially neg
ligent in patrolling their beats. Detectives were
employed by the Society for the Prevention Of
Crime. and few policemen were shadowed.
Their goings and comings for several nights
were carefully watched and noted. One
was found TO spend most Of his time in the rear
rooms of saloons. Another was seen TO with
draw TO the basement Of a certain dwelling
house. from which he later sailed forth and
went 10 a saloon, returning with two glasses of
liquor. The detectives saw him give one glass
10 a woman in the basement, and then drink
with her. Not one Of the policemen watched pa
trolled his beat he should have done. The
numbers of the officers were taken, and a de-
tailed report Of how each had neglected his duty
was sent 10 the Mayor. who transferred the
memoranda 10 Police Commissioner McAdoo
Air McAdoo made reply. He did nothing.
Had such a watch been made by citizens who
would have backed I'D their investigation with
an insistent demand for the punishment of those
policemen who had disgraced their uniform the
moral effect on the force would have been tre-
gnendous. No patrolman after that would feel
safe when violating his trust. At any time he
might be watched.
The influence for good which citizens exert
when acting together was illustrated by the resi-
dents Of Stuyvesant Square some years ago.
when they united TO compel the police OF that
district TO do their duty. The streets had be-
come full Of loose characters. Reputable women
were not safe out alone at night Robbers and
pickpockets roamed about at will. The Stuy-
vesant Square resi- tents combined and asked
Captain Fitzpatrick OF the precinct to enforce
order His failure TO do cost him his official
head He was discharged from the force, and
he was not reinstated.

of safety. and that this committee through its
lawyers, began immediate remedial antion. such
as the bringing of suits, the holding of public
meetings OF protest the distributing .of articles
TO the press-what would be the result? Why
the powers Of this committee would become tre-
mendous
There is always danger of evil creeping into
such an organization. but that opportunity for
wrongdoing always exists in any great move
ment for good The character OF the central
committee, therefore, should be above reproach
Within the last year one organization
after another has sprung up which gives prom
fse of the fulfflment of some Of these ideas
There is what is known the Junior League
founded by prominent young women of the city,
who discuss various phases of city government
and attempt some practical work for its better
ment Recently the Citizens Union has in
1tiated committee work somewhat like that sug
gested above.
Many of us have seen glaring abuses. which
have not been abated until they became tntoler
able, and were then suppressed by some radical
action such instituted by DR.. Parkhurst
and others. Now. suppose some citizens had seen
these abuses. and were willing to work and con-
tribute for their abatement through this com
mittee of safety, how quickly they could have
done something TO relieve mitigate these
evils"
Mr.. Stokes advocated such organization
before the City Club several years ago The
club appointed a committee to consider the sub
Cutting. chairman of the Citizens Union; Will

Two roads have been opened almost stimuli
taneously for the youth OF this city who want
10 work for it's betterment. One is political
organ ization. the Citizens Union. which has Just
established new headquarters for this kind OF
work and placed a corps Of young men In
charge. The other road is a projected associa-
ton OF home clubs in the residence parts Of the
city, whose members shall be guided in their
fight against municipal abuses by a central
committee of trained and experienced men. The
second organization is the idea OF James Stokes,
who has taken such interest in the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association.

and exhaustvely. that those which had be-
come blue might be repealed.
The organization which James Stokes believes
could best unite young in a fight against
civic abuses would have some such name as
The Society for the Enforcement of the Law"
He believes that 1t should be social, not polit-
zeal.
"One should have great sympathy for young
people Of means. leisure and social advantages"
continued Mr. Stokes. "who wish to do some
good in the world and do not know how OF
late years the opportunities OF this class have
been greatly enlarged. Civic societies. municipal
leagues and similar organizations have opened
new fields for studying the civic and benevolent
organizations of our city and suggesting means
for their betternent. The foundation of society
is the family. We must begin. therefore. with
the family.
Civic disorder results not from the lack of
law, but the lack of its enforcement. Citizens
have too long considered the government, espe-
cially that of cities, special sacred organiza-
tion. not to be touched except by those expert
in its manipulation. the self-appointed high
priests, who alone could handle and steady the
sacred ark. Good government in the city State
and nation. however. is only the enactment and
observance Of those rules which experience
shows bring the most happiness to the largest
number of individuals. and therefore to the fami-
lies of the nation.

of the most serious minded of these young people
as special members. and from them again choose
a body or committee to be known as a COM
mittee OF safety! This committee must be small

character (preferably younger rather than older

sellors of age and experience who be called

The incumbrance of fire escapes is in viola

causes the death Of entrapped tenement dwell
apes clear, although most members of the force
seem ignorant Of this responsibility. Yet if an
organized body of citizens demanded that the
police should clear the fire escapes, and pointed
out specific instances of the violation of the
law, people might no longer be burned TO death
because they could not use the fire escapes.
Were there watchful citizens who would re-
port incivility on the part Of the police, the
