WHO SHALL HEAD
THE POLICE?

This question which has at times
vexel Alexandra is causing trouble
in Richmond at present. The Times
Dispatch in commenting upon condl-
tons in the capital suggests that the
actual, as well as the theoretical, con-
troll of the Police Department should
be in the hands of the Mayor. Under
the present system, the Mayor is
charged with the duty of seeing that
the laws are executed. Under him is
the Chief of Police. who is held re-
sponsible, under the charter, for the
carrying out of the Mayors orders.
But as the Times-Dispatch observes,
between these two comes a Board of
Police Commissioners. Under the
charter, this board is vested only with
the business administration of the de-
partnent. But to it is also given the
power of appointing policemen and OF
creating, elevating and reducing the
officers of the police force. The char
ter makes provision only for the ap-
pointment of Chief Of Police; all the
other officers are creations of the po-
lice Board. If it saw fit, this board
could abolish every Office above the
rank of private, and could, on the
other hand, make every man on the
force Il captain.
Under these circumstances, it is
clear that the Mayors control of the
police force is a mere legal fiction.
1t is the power that "hires and fires"
that actually wiclds authority.
And this is quite apart from the
fact that a board of busy men, how
ever. earnest and honest its members
may be. is, in the very nature Of things
an inefficient head of a scni-niilitary
organization.

It Is proper to say that Mr.. Selznick
has made answer denying all these
charges. But there is the question-is
an actresses husband a bothersome null
sanee?
The actor marries every time. He is
too gallant to break his promise TO a
woman Besides, in his spr1ghtly way,
he realizes that a divorce Is more eco
nonfical than q suit for breach, partieu-
larly when, again gallant, he allows the
lady to get it. There is a certain element
OF surprise in this Young case that lends
it interest, for actors almost never bring
suits for alienation.
II fair one transfers her affections to
another, generally he dwells upon the
quality of those fish yet in the sea, ana

But James Young seems not to be Of
