WHERE IS THE MONEY?

AS a sort OF prelude to what The
Bulletin may hereafter say in regard
to the police department of Cairo, Il
will quote some OF the provisions OF
the Acity ordinances which should
but do not, govern the conduct OF
officers while on duty. These regu-
lations are not as comprehensive as
they should be. by any means. but
such as they are they would, if en-.
forced, go far to guard the service
from abuses which operate seriously
again the public interests Imperfect
though they be, II the provisions
were strictly enforced, as they were
under former city administrations,
the opportunity for police corruption
would be materially lessened.
Section 2 Of Chapter XLVI Re.
vised ordinances of the city says:
All appointed officers of the city of
Cairo. receiving compensation from
the city as such, and possessing the
power by virtue of their office, to
make arrests, shall, while ON duty,
wear the following uniform: =
The enforcement Of this section
would, for instance, prevent an Off
Ger from sitting or standing near, I'M
recognized by strangers who were
being fieeced by brace-game gang,
to see hom much the "swag" was in
order that he might be sure to get his
full share after the operation was com,
pleted. Also to see to 1t that the VIC
tim was properly taken care Of in
case he should show disposition to
complain, and hustled out of town
under threat of being sent to Jail.
1t would also prevent an officer
from standing at a bar unrecognized
by a negro who came in to purchase
a pistol from the bartender, the Off
Ger slipping his own weapon to the
bar-keeper to be sold to the negro
for SIS, then follow the negro to the
street, arrest him for carrying con.
cealed weapons, take the pistol from
him, turn him loose, and go back to
the saloon and get his share of the
SIS the negro had paid for the weapon
to the bar-keeper
Nor could the officer, without ex.
citing suspicion and alarm, make
regular visits to gambling places and
dives generally. to collect the sums
agreed upon for police protection,
Some good arguments May be .ad
yaneed in favor of having one or
two good plain-clothes men in the
service. 1t would make II possible
the better to catch rogues. But
these arguments will not hold GOOD
IL the officers thus designated are In
league with rogues for persona
profit.
There are several provisions in thu
ordinances bearing upon minor mat
tiers such as lettering in saloons
while on duty with a penalty OF &
fine. etc, the enforcement of which 4

wide the door to police irresponsible

referred to an officer who, in the
very nature Of things can make only
a perfunctory examination, and is re
turned to the city council with his
90 K. But, clearly, this Is a bare
faced evasion of the ordinance--a
mere pretense at compliance. 1t can
not serve as a check upon any officer
in the service, as the ordinance
plainly intends that such reports
shall be- For instance:
An officer makes an arrest; the
prisoner is fined SIS and costs for
carrying concealed weapons; the
fine and costs are not paid at the
time; an execution is issued by the
magistrate to the officer, the pris
oner is taken ont of court-and that,
in many cases, is the last that the
magistrate ever hears OF the matters
The prisoner may or may not give
bond for his fine and costs, he may
he put In Jail or not-in many cases
he is released ION his own
