THE PEOPLE, AND NOT

Did you know that with the exception of Spokane and
San Francisco nearly every big city in this little old
country of has, within the past year two, sat
down hard' on their respective police departments and
made them understand that THE PEOPLE, AND NOT
THE POLICE, ARE THE RULERS OF THE CTTY3
This is fact
In cities the mayor has taken the action, and in
others either the council the citizens at large through
a general movement
Mayor Gaynor in New York and the mayor of Butte,
Mont two of the latest executives to take up the work
Of police REFORM and they making their police depart
ments understand that they employed to the
people and not tyrannze them
SPOKANE far, has done nothing while suffering under
of the rottenest police systems in the nation The
Press has been the only opponent the police have had to
meet steadily during the past months The people know
what The Press has accomplished 1t has exposed
Fdpon evil dongs and neffciency, forced removal of
undesirable officers and compelled action against
crime.
But there is much more to do Acting Chief Sullivan

whole department reorganzed.
1T is time for all the forces of good to act

SERENELy AGAIN

The break in the water mains
near the old Bishop Court station
has been repaired. and now every
thing Is flowing along as serenely
as is possible under present condi-
tions. The Sprimgston mill fire
aroused the city council to action,
and a peremptory order was issued
to the board of public works that
adequate fire protection should be
at once installed to take care Of
any blaze In the business district
hitherto for several years so med-
equately served. Work along this
line has already begun but Super
tendent Lindsay wants to know
where the funds are to come from
and he Is preparing letter to the
city council which will come be-
fore them at the meeting tomorrow
night, asking that he be informed
what fund to draw on for the cost,
or whether il is their intention to
make a special appropriation.
