The political clubs, rather than the
police, have probably been the offenders.
But il there is the slightest doubt in such
questions, the police must be expected to
make any sacrifice to improve their mo-
rale. The position of the American po-
liceman has been too negative; in Europe
he is positive factor intrusted with con-
structive social service as we'll as the
apprehension OF criminals. In this city
great deal has been done to endow police
men with self-respect and sense of the
Importance of their work. They enjoy
the eight-hour day, denied the majority
of wage-earners. All the more imperative
is it that they should realize they are
the servants of the city "a hours a day;
misconduct in hours OF recreation should
mean instant dismissal. The personnel
should be the pick of the ranks of the
skilled workers class. But the leniency
that has been shown to police laxity would
not be tolerated for a moment in any
private industrial plant in the city.
