Wln those who have resided longer ir
Detroit something should be said here
0rst. perhaps, about the administration
4 e6 the police department while Croul
Was IN charge.
Croui gave Detroit THE MOST EFF
CIENT POLICE SERVICE IN THE
HISTORY OF THE CITY.
He took charge of the department
when it was In demoralized, impotent,
eountry-town, II am The constable" con-
dition a. = result of the political misuse
- which it had been put.
He first gave the department bath
q Then he brushed it up, dressed it up,
polishsd its shoes and put gloves on it.
Naxt he kicked politics out the front
door and invited efficiency in as politics
vent out.
A business man instead of politician,
had been chosen to conduct this import
ant commission.
1t was a business man with a bust
ness training and foresight that came
from that training, and it was a public
spirited citizen in a public Office, with
great faith in his city's future, who first
introduced the traffic squad, the big fea-
ture Of the department today.
It might be said that the traffic officers
were not entirely necessary when Croul
hrst strung them through the downtown
district, but what would life or limb be
worth In Detroit today if it were not for
their protection!
CROUL SAW THE DETROIT OF To-
DAY EIGHT YEARS AGO.
While he was police commissioner the
crooks OF all classes gave Detroit wide
berth. Detroit WAS NEVER AS FREE
OF PROFESSIONAL CRIMINALS AS
IT WAS WHEN HE STEPPED OUT
OF OFFICE.
A workingman could get on a street
ear with his pay envelope without the
constant fear that his pockets would be
picked before he could get home or t.
the bank.
The worhngman's home was safer al
night.
The merchants safe was in less dan
ger. A safe-blowing was thing alrnos
unheard Of.
Pay rolls were secure in transit.
Open gambling and tribute to anybod,
with police pull were things unknown
Detroit had POLICE department
because there was man at its head VIII

Cheney, FREE FROM POLITICAL
COMMUNICATIONS.
Now the newcomer knows about Crou
and knows the significance of the ques
ton put to Judge Connolly.
And this was Judge Connolly's ar
answer:

eagerly read, and that W. Kaiser is play

The purpose of this editorial is two
fold.
1t is. first, TO commend Judge Connolly
for a civic interest which inspires him
to put the good of Detroit before any
political consideration and for giving US
this positive proof that he knows the
very depth 70 which we will have TO cut
TO remove the sore that threatens our
well-being.
It is TO commend him for recognition
of the fact that it Is neither Democrat
nor a Republican that our police depart
ment needs, but man BIG enough for
the job and FREE enough TO conduct it
for efficiency and RESULTS, not for the
administration appointing him but for
the CITY OF DETROIT and her people
who are paying for and who are entitled
TO police protection and enforcement OF
the laws, without fear or favor.
Our second object in writing this edi-
torial Is TO congratulate the voters of
Detroit upon the fact that they have the
opportunity 70 name for mayor OF their
city. a man Endorsed so strongly by so
a citizen as Frank H.

BEST POLICE COMMISSIONER was
