The Blue Kings.
8y JOHN ID. BARRY.

THE Shah of Persia, when
J. he went to London few
years ago, was asked what
most impressed him in the
city. "The Blue Kings" he
replied.
In London they specialize
in tall men for their police.
Some American cities are
following London's example,
Somehow it strikes me as
comic. And yet l agree that
policemen ought to be vigor-
Gus fellows.

Some of the American cities have taken billies
away from the policemen.
They have discovered that average human ma
ture, invested with authority, can't endure, the
temptations provided by such weapon.
Here | am reminded of one of the earliest
impressions that ever received of the power OF
the law.

was walking along the street, a child, cling
ing to the hand of some female guardian
At a distance the opposite sidewalk saw
crowd approaching. 1t consisted chiefly OF boys
and women. In the center stood magnificent
policeman, Blue King. With both hands he was
dragging along wretched specimen of humanity
an old man. fighting drunk.
With childish joy l welcomed the excitement
My companion, l remember, was terrified. She
wished to turn back. But l wouldn't go.
When the crowd reached the place directly
opposite us the arrested man had sudden access
of energy. He tried to break away. The officer
raised his heavy billy and struck him in the fore
head.
To this day can hear the sound of that blow
against the human skull And can see the blood
that spread all over the mans face and the drop:
that fell from the end of the billy.

Investigations in New York and elsewhere

1t used to be thought that an abandoned
woman was the vilcst creature in life. Now we
know better There are creatures much more vile
men who live off the earnings of such women
Some of them arc Blue Kings, who actually hold
up abandoned women and insist on sharing theIr

1t must be admitted that the stock OF police
men has gone down in recet years. OF course
