THE TALK OF THE DAY.
stenographer'

Chicago policemen are having a hard time Of it
under their new chief. Colonel lie Roy T. Steward
who has an idea that patromen ought TO stay
sober at all times. The word has gone forth from
the chiefs Office. that, If Colonel Steward can
make it the force will be teetotallers' brigade
One day recently the chief had six broken"
for drunkenness and the crusade is to be carried
on vigorously, with the fate of the six held up
as an example to the rest of the men. Many out
RACES against citizens have been committed in the
past by drunken policemen" says '"The Daily
News" Even the most superficial observer ought
to know that not alone the drunken policeman
but the policeman who drinks on duty is a peril
Therefore while the Civil Service Commission is
wedding out the drunken wearers of uniforms it
must punish with proper severity policemen who
drink while duty"
New-York tribune., 1909-10-20
The campaign is getting shorter and uglier
every day

According to Mr.. Hearst, who should be IA
mlliar with the facts. it was Justice Gaynor
who caused Katzenjammer Block TO be made
a condemnation commissioner in the Ashokan
region. He received. and still receives. $50 a
day from the city. although he is under con-
tract to give all his time to the Hearst publ
cations. If Justice Gaynor has no scruples about
paying his political debts at the public expense.
why should he hesitate about appointing unfit
Tammany men who have been useful to him to
the various offices in the gift of the Mayor?

order to ascertain the opinion Of an
expert in such matters, appeal has
been made to j. N. Barrie, as the

that Barrie depends greatly upon bis
