PLU M ADAS

La prensa de estos d1as Sc ha venido
ocupando de varios atropellos cometi-
dos por guardias de la polic1a insular.
Han sido maltratadas personas que me-
recen la mayor consideration, y por es-
to la censura ha sido mas acerba, mas
amargo ell comentario.
no es NADIA nuevo, es una cosa que
sucede diariamente, solo que ell afro
pello sc ha venido realizando en- indivi-
duos de condici6n humilde 8 en- otrOs,
de mas elevada alcurnia, pero POGO da-
dos lamar la atencion, temerosos de
que ell p1blico, desconocedor de sus me-
recimientos, ponga en- duda la hOnora
bilidad de ellos ante la afrmacion ca
teg6rica de un polic1a que asegure un
hecho punible Pero ell 1ltimo abuse de
fuerza ha sido realizado frente la re-
dacci6n de un diario, en- plena via pfl-
blica y a plena luz del sol, y los que 10
presenciaron sc han visto obligados por
la fuerza del deber ciudadano a levan-
tar en- las columnas de la prensa la mas
alta protesta.
Ciertamente que en- ell cuerpo de la
policia eXisten personas de reconocido
valer y de educacion instruction com
pleta, que Sc dan perfecta cuenta del
dif1cil cometido que ell cumplimiento
de su cargo entraTa Pero esOs no
son la generalidad, esos no son siquiera
la mayor parte de los que constituyen
ese cuerpo que deb1a gozar de la abso-
luta confanza del pueblo en- general.
i Y todo por que? Por los requisites
q. actualmente Sc le eXigen los ciuda-
danos para ingresar EN- ell cuerpo de po-
licia. Basta con tener no menos de un
metro setenta dos cent1metros de es-
tatura, un certifcado de no haber sido
sentenciado en- causas criminales, sa-
Der leer y escribir. jSaber leer y es-
cribir? Gracias que sepan hacer este
muchos polic1as de esos que lucen or
gullosos ell traje azul que deb1a ser
s1mbolo de garantla y ell rotten cuyo OBJ
jeto desconocen. Y decimos que 10
desconocen no por pura palabrer1a: los
que asistieron al reparto de juguetes a
los ninOs pobres, la noche del cincO del
mes actual, pudieron yer a varios poll
c1as que, con ell rotten en- alto, en- una
| risible actitud, amenazaban los ninOs
pobres que iban al teatro a buscar la
sana algeria de un juguete; y alguno
de ellos hubO que con inhumana cruel
dad 10 dej0 caer sobre ell cuerpo joven
y debil de esas infelices criaturas 5Sa-
Der leer escribir? No hay mas que ir
las cortes de justicia y yer las de-
nuncias presentadas por algunos poll
c1as para cerciorarse de que no saben
hacer tai cosa, de que apenas 81 saben

Para ingresar en- ell cuerpo de polic1a
deb1an existir otros requisites que die
sen la prueba de los conocimientos del
aspirante, conocimientos que, aun
cuando fuesen rudimentarios, acusasen
al menos cierto grado de cultura. Que
no debe ser ell cuerpo de polic1a una ex-
hibici6n de hombres altos y robustos. +.

the Christmas holidays, It was learned
today.
Many members of the senate and
house are said to be dissatisfied with
the manner Ii which appointments are
made In the library Of congress.
Some senators complain that Mr..
Putnam does not give due considera-
ton to their requests, and claim that
there should be some apportionment
of the 5i3 places under the librarian
among the States. AT present the en-
poyes are appointed by the librarian

pointed solely with reference to their
fitness for their particular duties"
The librarian himself Is appointed

At present, 1t was said today, when

that all appointments, promotions and

the latter course will be adopted
whether a formal investigation In
made OF the library or not.
Mr. Putnam said today that he had

Considerable damage was done the
