A Study in Police Methods.

Raymond B. Fosdicks work on European
Police Systems" just off the Century Press, and
published by the Bureau OF Social Hygiene, has
in It a great deal that will be OF interest to the
casual reader, but more that will engage the at
tention OF the conscientious student OF social
science. II is OF especial value because OF its
authoritative character and Is worthy OF perusal
II for no other purpose than to become more
familiar with the contrast in methods prevalent
in Europe and in the United States.
Mr.. Fosdick says his studies disclosed the
uniform integrity OF the European police. No
where in Europe did he discover any sign OF
what in America is euphemistically referred 10
''the system" For this he gives several
reasons. First, the fact that police administra-
ton there is a profession. The head Of the police
no matter what his title. is man well qualified
and clothed with ample power. In London. for
example. the head OF the police force has abso-
Lutte control and authority, and from his de-
csions in the matter of discipline no appeal lies
A second reason assigned for the integrity of the
European police is the careful selection OF the
men who so TO make up the rank and file OF the
service. Third and of more particular interest
in the United States the integrity OF the Euro
pean police is ascribable to the fact that they
are looked upon as protectors OF law and order
rather than as guardians OF public morals" On
this point Mr Fosdick says:
There 10 little attempt to make a particular code
OF behavior the subject OF general criminal egsla
ton. The high moral standards of a few people are
not the legal requirements Of the state. . The
police not called upon to compel conformity to
moral standards which do not meet with general pub
lie approval. They not asked to enforce laws
which from the standpoint OF accepted public haht
taste fundamentally unenforceable.
How different is this from our present prac-
tice And how much Of police corruption now
complained OF in the United States is due to the
fact that our policemen are called upon to rigidly
enforce laws that are fundamentally unen-
fcrceable."

Retrieying an Historieal Crime.

If the guns OF the allies succeed in pounding
open the Dardanelles II will be the elimination
Of an effort that has been postponed for almost
500 years Since the middle Of the fifteenth cen
tury the Turk has held closed this gateway TO
the east against Christianity and all its forces.
john Fisk in his Discovery Of America" says
the greatest crime ever committed against civili-
cation was when the Christian nations OF Europe
permitted the Turk 20 take and hold CONSTANT
nople and thus command the avenue through
which the traffic OF the East and West then
passed. The course Of civilization turned on this
from East TO West. II was beneficial in that It
fastened the discovery Of the American CONT
nents; yet they would have been searched out be-
cause OF the restless spirit that was then awak-
ening in the early days of that new birth OF cul-
ture and enterprise through all Europe Green,
in his History OF the English People" ascribes
to the fall Of Constantnople, and the consequent
spread OF Greek learning among the western
people Of Europe, much Of the wonderful
changes in all the social activities Of the later
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries which brought
about the great reforms in society politics and
religion. In this way the calamity turned
to something in the nature OF a benefaction
Neither Great Britain nor Germany may take
any credit for the maintenance Of the Turk in
his commanding position at Constantinople. One
or the other of these great powers has inter
fered many times in recent history to keep that
capital from falling into Christian control The
ways OF the European politician are not always
inscrutable, but sometimes they do pass under
standing and the selfishness that withheld as
sistance from the Byzantine emperor 500 years
ago finds manifestation today in the terrible
war now in progress. II finds an exigency of this
war-the necessity of opening passage for Rus
sian grain, rather than any purpose to advance
clvilization-has led to the bombardment
of the Turkish forts on the Dardanelles, yet it
will be OF incalculable benefit even at this late
date should the matter finally result in the per-
manent opening OF the passage.

Modern Prison Methods.

Much has been written in the last decade
about reforms in methods OF handling prisoners
at the several penitentiaries Golden rule"
wardens have been told about from time 70 time,
their humane treatment OF men in their charge
has been extoled. and results achieved have
been set forth in considerable detail. When
prisoners we're sent out without guard TO build
roads and do other work I'm the open, 1t
thought the last step had been taken, but now
comes an innovation. The warden OF the peni-
Tertiary at Leavenworth last week permitted
ffty-fve inmates of that institution to go
guarded on street cars to a hall uptown where
they gave a minstrel performance, and every
OF the fifty-five returned to the penitentiary
when the show was over. On the same night
the prison band from the Joliet penitentiary
unattended by any guard furnished the music
at large religious mass meeting.
These pretty large straws, and certainly
indicate the direction of the wind. Modern
prison methods are applied for the purpose OF
bringing out whatever OF good may be found in
a man. and criminologsts pretty generally agree
that some good may be found in any man.
