such a delight does not exist at the

BILLIARDS. CHIEF OF POLICE.

It's rather unfortunate that at the very
| beginning of the new city adninisrra-
ton action should be taken by the
mayor and the commissioners which
will enSender considerable adverse crit
icism. Such. however. will inevitably
be the case in respect to the appoint
ment of Morris Jenkins as chief of
police. Although this appointment was
nominally the work of the entire COM
mission, or majority of it,
the commissioners decided to
defer to the wishes of Mayor
Billiard in this particular inasrnuch as
the law makes him responsible IN the
main for the conduct of the police de-
partment. So such criticism as this
appointment provokes will naturally
be directed at the mayor.
Mr.. Jenkins is a policeman of expert
ence. He has been a member Of the
Topeka police force off and on for a
number of years. In a way, it will be
conceded by every one that ne is an eff
fcient peace officer. He is fearless in
the discharge of the arduous and
oftimes dangerous duties associated
with police work. FIe is acquainted with
the denizeps of the local underworld
and is familiar with their habits.
he was retired from the police force
some months ago under charges, which,
if true, show him to be unfit for the
management of police force, or even
for service on ore. Mr.. Jenkins claims
to have disproved these charges. His
many friends insist that it would be
foreign to his nature to be guilty of
the acts that he was charged with. they
insist that the charges were trunlDed
up against him for the express purpose
of getting him off the force. and that
retty politics and personal spite were
the controlling factors in his removal.
Be all this as it may, the fact Will
rot down that Mr.. Jenkins was retir-
ed from the police force in disgrace. If
any injustice was done him he had re-
course to the courts but he did not take
advantage of it, This is one reason
why his appointment to be chief of po-
lice appears to be ill-advised. There is
another one. His appointment is being
hailed with particular g1ee by that ele-
rnent in the city which is known as
liberal or "wet."
1t is true that some men who are
elected to office will enforce to the let
ter a law with which they are per-
sonaHy not in sympathy. Time alone
will tell in this particular instance. At
{ ny ra-e, it is likely that Mayor Bill
ards administration will stand or fall
on his conduct of the police department
in the enforcement of all the laws. 1t
may be that in the appointment OF Mr..
Je nkins he has selected the man to
do the trick. 1t is to be hoped SO, but
people may well be Dardoned for being
a trifie dubious on this score.
