THE WASHINGTON POLICE

Few Washingtonians realize how
many police forces we boast here in
the Capital City. The Metropolitan
Police Force, headed by Major Pull.
man, is the biggest, of course, and
covers most of the city. Then there
is the Park Police, commanded by
Major Harris, which patrols all the
parks except Rock Creek; and there
is also the Capitol Police under the
control of the sergeants-a at arms of
the Senate and House.
All of the public buildings are
provided with a corps of watchmen
most Of whom have police power
but none is guarded by soldiers
fact that makes Washington unique
among capitals.
The White House is the only pub.
lie building which is watched over
by the Metropolitan police, although
the person of the President is also
protected by the Secret Service of
the Treasury Department.
1t works very well, this multi
plicity of police forces, in ordinary
times, but the incident at the Cap
itol the other day was not the first
to call attention to the fact that
trained policemen should be on guard
at the Nations House. The safety
of the Governments property and
OF the lives of the people who live
and work in Washington would be
enhanced by a consolidation of the
police work under one efficient de-
partment,' and no doubt much money
would also be saved.

as much as a thousand dollars q
year the Postmaster General can no
longer select him, he must be APP
pointed by the President. That
means in turn, that he is selected by
a member of Congress or by a SEN
ator. And that means log-rolling
in the Senate on account of the re-
quirement Of Senatorial confrma-
tion. ...
Mr.. Sims of Tennessee introduced
in the last House, and will push in
the next Congress, a bill to place
the power of appointing all post
masters in the hands of the Post
master General. That will be an
introduction to the next step of COW
ering them all into the civil service
and thus taking the postoffice out
of politics. The path of such bills
is usually innocent of roses, but
this one deserves to succeed.
