CONGRATULATIONS TO THE

Galesburg Repu5iican-Regsster: The
Galesburg police are to be c0ngratu.
lated on their capture OF the body o.
tbs dead man in last Saturday nights
affair. The Mexican murderer made
good his escape. it is true. but he did
not succeed IN destroying the evil
dence of his crime No, Sir: The
police were on the job. They took
the dead mans body into custody be-
lore the murderer had time to destroy
him, and consequently they can prove
that a murder was committed. If
anybody doesn't believe it they can
show him the body and the place
where ii happened.
That other Mexican who struck the
eolored man got away too, and the
automobile thief seems TO have de-
parted for parts unknown. But the
police have done great work. They
know how the fight started and they
have the number and the description
of the auto. II somebody comes for
ward and confesses that he swung the
bottle which damaged the negro,
they viii know who to accuse of as
aault and battery In this case, and II
the auto is later recovered. they wiz
know whether or not It is the same
one-that is. II someone has not
changed the number.
What are the people OF Galesburg
kicking about anyway? There has
only been an average of one burglary,
hold-up or murder every other night
since June l. There might have been
one every night, SO we have escaped
half the time at least OF course no
murderer has been caught, but no
murderer has succeeded In destroying
the body of the victim. The police
have always been able TO capture the
dead man All the burglars have
escaped. too, but the police can show
you where every burglary happened.
and they have the word of the citizens
that they have been robbed.
Two hold-up men, or rather one
hold-up man and q negress, were
caught-but the negress was caught
in East St Louis. and the man came
back TO Galesburg Of his own accord
after he had made his escape. While
not many were captured. the police
know the names OF all the victims and
can tell you how much they lost.
Thus 1t VIII be seen that the police
OF his city are ION the job The
citizens should be patient with their
police. marble they wifi catch some
body some day. Meanwhile it must
not be forgotten that only the other
hight, four or five men were arrested
for sleeping in the park and that oc-
casionalIy men who get too drunk to
run away are apprehended and thrown
into JAIL Let us be patient!
