Chicago policemen are having hard

idea that patrolmen ought to stay So
Der at all times. The word has gone
forth from the chiefs office that, if
Colonel Steward can make it SO, the

One day recently the chief had six
men "broken' for drunkenness. and
the crusade is to be carried on vigor-
ously, with the fate of the six held up
as an example to the rest of the men.
Many outrageS against citizens have
been committed in the past by drunk

the drunken policeman. but the police
man who drinks on duty, is a peril
Therefore, while the civil service com
mission is wedding out the drunken
wearers of uniforms it must punish
with proper severity policemen who
drink while on duty"
