status of Unitarianism in Europe during

Cincinnati. Nov. IT.-witn the election
OF officers by the National Municipal
League and the American civic Associa-
fion to-day. both bodies got down to dis
cussion Of many problems affecting the
civic welfare.
Al the forenoon session OF me Municipal
League a lively debate was caused by a
paper sent I'm by Arthur III. Woods, Dep
uty Police Commissioner OF New YORK
under General Bingham. and read by
Secretary Woodruff. i'm which il held
that Civil Service had not promoted ef-
iiciency I'm the Police Department. Rich
ard Henry Dana. Massachusetts. was one
OF those who dissented from Mr.. Woodss
view
Mr.. Woods's paper follows, in part;
Although the Civil Service method of

undoubtedly successful. the method of pro-
motion 10 higher Office needs improve
nIent. The officers must be taken from
the ranks. To be successful this method

The police are charged with the DUTY
OF enforcing the laws regulating the excise,
gambling and prostitution. These prohib-
lted. or regulated vices are the great
sources % police corruption. and it is only
IN part the pOliceman's fault. A literal en-
forcement of these laws is impossible; il
Is not expected by a large majority OF
citizens, and not desired by probably at
least a majority. Now, then. can YOU eX-
pect your policeman to do what you admit
is Impossible. and what he knows is not
really meant?
The question 10 be considered here is
merely hOw this affects the police. The
answer IS that the connection must be
by making laws based on reason and
backed by the community or by relieving
the police OF the duty of enforcing the
present unreasonable laws.
The latter eXpedent would be confessed
~ a makeshIft. whatever force should
ne lntruSted with the duty OF enforcing
such laws would become corrupt, the guilt
iNing infinitely more with the laws than
with the officers of the law. However, such
a shift would rescue the police force from
this debauching work. and il is 90 the po-
lice that we must look for the protection
OF life and property, the maintenance of
law and order
The other point in which change is need
ed is in the matter of the Police Commits
Sloners tenure of Office. In New York he
Is mere bird OF passage, usually flying

fundamental The policeman feels that he
must hedge all tie time; he doesn't know
how soon he may be called on to enforce
a totally different policy.
