Keep the Police out of tho Politics


Philadelphia Press: Director Por-
ter sets a good example to the other
heads of departments in the present
administration by refusing to go on
the stump in the Forthcoming cam
pa1gn and announcing his intention to
keep the police out of politics. The
Shern law, requires this, and it was
not made to be evaded.
Policemen have the same right as
other citizens to exercise the suffrage
free from dictation. Director Porter
grants nothing more than this con-
st1tutional guarantee in leaving them
at liberty to register at the primary
under Whaever party each prefers. But
no officer will be allowed to carry his
political activity further than to cast
his vote.
This is an eminently proper attitude.
Ihe day has passed when the police
and fremen can be turned into a,
powerful political machine to work in
the interest of any party. Their duty
is to all of the citizens never to a
factlon. Director Porter should use
the utmost vigilance to see that the
principle of nonpartisan police and
rre department is consistently fol-
| lowed.
