They claim they are not being paid enough per day and have peti- toned the board of public safety for sn increase. Well, we don't know what pay they do receive, but If they are receiving $3 or $3.50 per day 1t Is enough, say $1.75 per day. for walking around, 75 cents per day for looking pleasant and the other dol lar for keeping awake while on duty; but $S.50 is surely enough for the blue coated. brass buttoned street walkers, and the police board should get nine months in jail for fining a "cop" for not arresting little boy for doing something he did not see and knew nothing about. Most every lawyer in town says the fellow with the white pants should swear out a warrant We are very much afraid the above board doesn't drink the nice tasting kind of tea and coffee we sell, otherwise they wouldn't be so severe.
