OMAHA. oct. ITO the Editor OF The
Bee: In the last month there have been
thirty cases OF highway robbery. forty
burglaries. fifteen cases OF pocket-ptcking
and as many OF sneak thievery In our
city. To crown these glorious achieve
nents a good and honest citizen OF our
neighbor city was shot down In cold blood
on our streets, and his young woman
companion was dragged for a mile
through or residential district and sub
iectod to the most unspeakable indignities.
What are the police going to do about
Il? What can 1856 men. divided into three
shifts. half Of whom are not patrolmen.
do against a condition OF this kind? one
OF two facts is true-either the police
force is not numerically adequate to cope
with the situation. Or its superior officers
are lamentably incompetent am in
clined toward the former belief. and have
a few suggestions to offer.
The night shift of the Omaha fire de-
partment are permitted to sleep while on
duty. This gives them six months vaca-
ton in every year. why not make
day police force out Of these men and
have them do the work now being done
by the regular day police? Such an ar
rangement would give the present day
force an opportunity to properly patrol
the streets at night, and that is the time
they are most needed. 1t would more
than double the police protection.
viii anyone pretend that such an ar
rangement would be unfairT There are
enough city firemen to make two shifts
of six hours each for day police duty. and
since their only duty at night is to sleep
and answer an occasional bell, there Is
no good reason why they should not con-
sent to render this service to the city
II this scheme would fail the only solu-
tion would be to select volunteer citizens
to patrol the streets at night. Something
must be done. These crooks and muir
derers should be dragged to justice.

All other RcIieions False.

TEKAMAH, Neb.. Oct. 22.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee; Having read so many
unjust criticisms of BILLY Sunday in
the papers can no longer keep silent.
These critics say that Billy rldicules
everybody's religion but his own. Why
shouldn't he? There is but one true re-
ligion. and that is plainly and fearlessly
set forth by Mr. Sunday. All others are
false No one will criticise his message
except those who have false religion,
or none at ALL
As to his language, It is simply calling
things by their right names and cannot
be misunderstood. II these people would
go to hear him with a willingness to be
fair and with an unprejudiced mind they
would be much better able to Judge
whereof they speak. and would be Inn
pressed with the earnestness of the man.
BILLY breaches the plain. unvarnished
truth. and that Is what hurts so many
people. but will say to such, take warn
ing from Gods word. which says: BE
not deceived. God is not Knocked" Don't
mock Him with a religion that is no re-
ligion. A. H GILBERT.
