New York's Police.

I'VE have as fine body OF men on. our
police force in New York city as is to be
found anywhere. Only a small percentage
Of them are unfit. What trouble there
is in the force arises out of the way
in which it has. been ruled for q long
time. Those put in rulership over it have
for long time required the men to do
lawless things. When those who rule the
police are permitted to override the law
and do as they please, arrest as they
please and break into houses without
warrant in defiance of necessary legal
safeguards, the inevitable result is extor-
ton by them throughout the community
BY such means one high officer Of the
police after another retired a millionaire
cannot too strongly reiterate that a
police force should be carefully kept with
in the law and constitutional safeguards
which prescribe and limit its powers and
duties. In no other way can it be kept
