OF POLICE.

Stringent orders issued by the
Board OF Control directing the police
TO stop the sale OF liquor in the so
called red light district. and TO bring
an end to the hours Of revelins con-
tinue far into the night. call attention
TO the fact hat 1t Is within the power
OF the Board OF Control to direct e.
fectively all the police activities in
the city. II is a marvel that this pow
ar has not heretofore been assumed
by the board. For some reason IL has
beer assumed that the chief of police
and the police force were a Law unto
themselves; that they could enforce
the laws or wink at their violations
at their own sweet will. and that
there was no power TO modest or make
them afraid. On the contrary. the
present city charter distinctly gives
10 the Board of Control the power to
regulate and direct our police force.
and the orders issued by them indi-
cate that the board is beginning to
realize its responsibility in this mat
ter.
II is. Of course unnecessary to say
that any orders or any new regulation
restricting the allurements and the
offensive operations OF the red light
district have the approval and the
support Of all good citizens. Concern
ing the existence Of such institutions
In a city. there may be. and perhaps
always will be. some difference Of
opinion. Red light districts exist in
every great city. They are one of the
Tamentable evidences Of human weak
ness. Possibly they cannot be stamped
out. but certain conditions can he ere
ated that will render them less often

Evening Post
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Insofar as
President Wilson's public statement
on signing the banking bill was ex.
pected to be highly reassuring in.
fluence, 1t is probable that the finan-
cial community was disappointed
Mr.. Wilson spoke quite within the
facts in his reference to the light
which this measure throws on the
democratic party's capacity for con.
sentative action In finance. But he
missed the opportunity OF laying
stress on anything tangible, which the
new law promises to confer, and his
suggestion that the banking bill is the
first of series of legislative meas
ures, will by no means be unqualifiedly
hopes that its successful enactment
would mean less, not more, of legisla-
ton. This may have been responsible
for some hesitancy in today's earlier
movement on tne StocK ekCHdHSe.
But the market rather quickly shook
off this mood and proceeded to ad-
vance again. Before the day was
over, advances ranging from " to 3
points had been scored in the active
shares. Europe again gave no as
sistance. 1t sold trife here and its
own markets were irregular.
British Consolidated however, rose
again nearly q, making gain of 70

suited from temporary influences such
as year end window dressing" but
even if so, it suggested much de-
creased supply Of the securities for
