Calling the Police Department

doubt as to just what will be ex
pected Of him as an officer of tn,

self accordingly. In most cases tbs
policeman does not know what tt

This may not be the case with thu
Cairo policemen this time Howev.
er, there was time when the DO
liceman had every reason to believe
that gambling would be tolerated
and he made no effort tn suppress
1t. Interference on his part would
have resulted in dismissal from the
force. Considering the numerous
games that have been conducted ir
Cairo recently, the policeman, IL
seems. should be excused for not. do.
ing his duty. If the policemen
know that gambling will not be toll
Grated, they viii do their duty. The
policeman always does what is out
lined to him as duty. Ii he didn't
he wouldn't remain policeman very
long.
What Cairo needs is book o.
rules for every member of the de
partment and then a strict enforce
ment OF the various rules contained
therein. The police departments OF
the large cities are conducted on the
Iboek-of-rules plan, and wherever
the rules are enforced by the super
Tor officers. high degree of eff
cheney will be found. Verbal in
structions are not satisfactory, es
peeially when they come at the tail
end OF wave of public Indignation
Give the Cairo policeman book of
rules by which to gauge his conduci
and less politics. Then Cairo will
not only have an excellent depart.

that safeguards their life, that i'm
proved the physical and moral con-
ditions under which they live, that
makes their hours Of labor rational
and tolerable, that gives them free
dom to act In their own interests,
and that protests them where they
cannot protect themselves, can
properly be regarded as class legis-
lation or as anything but as meas
ure taken in the interest of the
whole people. whose partnership in
light action we are trying to estab-
fish and make real and practical.
1t is In this spirit that we shall act
# we are genuine spokesmen of the
whole country.
with regard to the development
OF greater and more numerous wat
erways and the building up of
merchant marine. we must follow
great constructive lines and not fall
back upon the cheap device of boun-
ties and subsidies In the case of
The Mississippi river, that great CEN
trail artery of our trade, it is plain
that the federal government must
build and maintain the iievees and
keep the great waters In harness
for the general use It is plain,
too, that vast sums Of money must
be spent to develop new waterways
where trade will be most served and
transportation most readily cheap
ened by them. Such expenditures
are no largess on the part of the
government, they are national in
vestments.
The very fact that we have at
last taken the Panama Canal ser
iously in hand and are vigorously
pushing 1t towards completion is
eloquent of our re-awakened inter
est In international trade.
"A presidential campaign may
easily degenerate into a mere per-

who are seeking to be entrusted
with its guidance should be left at

We are as important as the cause
we represent, and In order to be i'm

cause, What is our cause? The
peoples cause? That Is easy to
say, but what does it mean? This
common as against any particular
interest whatever? Yes, but that,
too needs translation into acts and
policies. We represent the desire
TO set up an unenSang lcd govern.
ment, a government that cannot be
used for private purposes, either In
the field of business or in the field
of politics; a government that will
not tolerate the Use of the erganf=

personal aims and ambitions of any
individual, and that will not per-.

troll and are seeking bigger things
than they have ever heretofore
achieved.
| There are two great things to do.
| One Is to set up the rule of justice
and Of right in such matters as the
tariff, the regulation of the trusts
and the prevention of monopoly. the
adaptation of cur banking and cur
rency laws to the very uses to which
our people must put them, the treat
ment of those who do the daily labor
| in our factories and mines and
throughout all our great industrial
and commercial undertakings, and
the political life of the people of the
Philippines, for whom we hold gov
ernmentaf power In trust, for their
service, not our own. The other,
the additional duty is the great task
Of protecting our people and our re-
sources and of keeping open to the
whole people the doors OF opp0rtun-
ity through which they must, gener-
alton by generation, pass if they
are to make conquest Of their for
tunes In health in freedom, In
peace, and in contentment In the
performance of this second great
duty we are face to face with ques-
tons Of conservation and of devel-
opment, questions of forests and
waterways, of the building Of an
adequate merchant marine.
THE tariff question, as dealt
with in our time, at any rate has
not been business. 1t has been poll
tics, Tariff schedules have been
made up for the purpose of keeping
as large number as possible OF the
Irich and influential manufactur-
ers of the country in a good humor
with the Republican party which
desired their constant financial sup
port. The tariff has become sys-
tenn of favors, which the phraseol-
ogy of the schedule was often de-
libeFately contrived to conceal
Who, when you come down to the
hard facts Of the matter, have been
represented In recent years when
BUR tariff schedules were being dis
cussed and determined. not on the
floor of Congress, for that liz not
where they have been determined
but in the committee rooms and
conferences That is the heart Of
the whole affair Will you, can
YOU, bring the whole people into the
partnership or not?
We do not ignore the fact that
tho business of country like ours
is exceedingly sensitive to changes
IN legislation of this kind, When
we act we Should act with caution
and prudence, like men who know
what they are about, and not like
those in love with theory.
THE high cost of living is ar
ranged by private understanding.
I'VE naturally ask ourselves, how
did these gentlemen get control of
these things? Who handed our
economic "laws over to them for leg
islatiye and conhactual alteration?
We have in these disclosures still
another view of the tariff, still
another proof that, not the people.
of the United States. but only a
very small number of them have
been partners in that legislation.
The so-ealled labor question Is a
Question only because we have not
yet found the rule of right in ad-
justing the interests Of labor and
capital Here, again, the sense of
universal partnership, must come
into play If we are to act like
statesmen, as those who serve. not
a class, but d nation.
