The most famous and effective police
in the world are the royal Irish constab-

lice of Canada, the carbineros of Spain
and the carabinieri of Italy. all of them

punishment of crime and the promotion
of the material welfare of the people

In Bosnia and Herzegovina the Aus

forming similar duties in a most efficient
manner. They are selected from the best
material in the army; they are we'll paid
and pensioned; they are divided into
squads of eight or ten men under the
command of sergeants. and are stationed
in every community. They not only pa
troll their districts and do ordinary po-
lice duty, but serve as sanitary officers,
instructors in agriculture and the in
dustrial arts. veterinarians in doctoring
horses and cattle and furnishing the PEG
pie with advice on every subject that
may concern them. When a peasant is

Induced Indians to Surrender.

One of the primary objects of the
Northwest Mounted Police was to protect
the frontier from Indians. and this was
accomplished by establishing friendly re-
lations. In 1877. after the Custer massa-
ere. the hostles fed across the border,
where Sitting Bull and his warriors were
received with quiet but determined reso-
luton that won their admiration and re-
spect, and they were finally induced to
surrender peacefully to the United States
authorities in 1SSO-S1. The confidence of
the police in themselves and in the In
dams was illustrated by the fact that the
force sent out to meet and overcome be-
tween five and six thousand Sioux war
riors was composed of captain and
tWenty-eight men. But they accom-
plished what they went for. and compelled
the submission OF a horde of savages
which had defied the entire army of the
United States.

Work a Remarkable One.


For thirty seven years it has main
tanned order. prevented and suppressed
crime, kept the Indians under control, and
protected lives and property with less
than thousand men throughout ter
ritory half as large as that of the United
States. and wherever the mounted police
have been stationed their duty has been
conscientiously. fearlessy and humanely
performed. There has never been scan
dal and the high standard which was set
at the start by the officers and men has
never since been degraded. The force has
existed long enough to establish Ideals
and accumulate traditions, and the esprit
de corps is such that any man who shows
cowardice, loses his self-control OF makes
a serious mistake, tenders his resignation
rather than lose caste with his comrades
in arms.
Gen. Funston, in his annual report TO the
Secretary of War, while commanding the
Department of the Columbia paid high
tribute to this organization by saying:
There is no reason why the United States
Army should not be composed of as fine
body Of men as is the Northwest Mounted
Police of Canada, an organization in which
so high a standard has been reached that
desertion or misconduct of any kind is
almost unheard of, and in which the Off
GERS do not hesitate to trust their privates
with duties requiring integrity and no
small degree of good Judgment"
On July S. 1874, the mounted police,
only 274 strong, took command of affairs
upon the great plains and the mountains
of that portion of the Dominion west of
Winnipeg, where military authority up to
that time was unknown. The immedia tie
effect was expressed by an old Indian
chief, who, speaking at a council, said:
Before you came the Indian crept
along; now he is not afraid to walk
erect''-and for thirty-Seven years neither
white man nor Indian has been afraid to
walk erect, whether in the great plains, in
the mountains or in the ice-clad regions
of the Yukon. The confidence of the people
Indians as well as the white settlers, in
the ability, integrity and the justice of
the mounted police is absolute. They are
in their enforcement. 1t is the boast of
the northwest mounted police that they
have never failed to get the man they
were after Their coolness determina-
ton and resourcefulness have always
made them successful, except during the
second Indian rebellion led by Louis kiel
I'm 1885, which they claim was due to the
fact that they were not allowed a free
hand, but were compelled to obey the or
ders of the general in command of the
militia
Induced Indians to Surrender.
