When the Police Force Strikes.

Boston's predicament is occasion for
thoughtful consideration. Questions involved
in strike of policemen are not lightly to be
answered. The greatest of them, that of fdel-
ity to trust, carries its own reply. When a
man dons the uniform of soldier or police
man, he Voluntarily assumes an obligation that
is not to be laid aside at his whim. He is
bound morally as we'll as legally to devote him
self to the protection of life and property Of
his fellow citizens, to uphold the law and to see
that good order is maintained.
1t is quite likely that the policemen in Bos-
ton were not paid as we'll as they should be;
very few are, but they have taken a sadly mis-
taken way of setting about to secure justice for
themselves. When the presence of the law as
represented by the police is withdrawn, the
elements of disorder assert themselves. 1t was
so in London and Liverpool when the police
there went on strike, and it is so in Boston,
and will be anywhere else under similar condi-
tons. If policeman we're to abandon his post,
and crime occurred, he would be punished in
some fashion, if he were to retire, knowing
that gang of thieves would Immediately loot
the property he guarding, he would be
deemed unfaithful. In what degree is he re-
leved from this if he acts in concert with his
fellows and all abandon their duty at the same
time?
What may come out of the strike will be
an advance in the methods of organizing, train
ing and controlling police. Men will be given
more detailed instruction as to their duties,
moral as we'll as legal, made to understand
clearer the relations between the law and the
citizen, and so developed as to more nearly
measure up to the requirements of the ideal
policeman. In the meantime, the public will
also do we'll to realize that it is asking for
high grade Of service, and should be willing to
properly recompense those it employs.

Points Not Explained,

Omaha, Sept. 1o.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: President Wilson on
his recent visit in Omaha did not
make clear why England should
have six votes in the League of
Nations while the United States
should have only one. Neither did
he explain satisfactorily why the
United States senate should not have
a right to reserve for the congress
to decide about partaking in a war
when the League Of Nations, which
otherwise has right to call MEM
bers to arms, is composed Of SO
many members Of nations which
have made a business to engage in
warfare. The expansion policy fol-
lowed at the peace conference and
the desire to strengthen the navy
of one particular member is no in
dication that change of heart has
taken place, but that the ambition
is greater than ever. Let us give
credit to the majority of the senate
for clear heads and a sincere desire
to protect the interests of our ma
ton. O. r. Johnson

into the mill.
Fire! Fire!" cried Peggy and Bill

screeched Judge Owl like a fire
whistle.
The people in the mill had been
startled by the thunderbolt, which
had crashed into the building, but
they had no idea that the lightning
had set the roof ablaze above their
heads. So they were much sur
prised when the prince and Peggy
and Billy rushed in with the alarm.
The girls jumped up from their ma
chimes and fed to the doors and
windows. And the flames were
spreading so fast that If the warn
ing had been delayed another min
ute many surely would have been
burned to death.
The prince showed himself a
hero, for he stood right where the
danger was greatest and coolly hur-
ried the crowd to safety. Away up
at the other end Of the mill Peggy
caught a glimpse Of the mermaid.
She, too, was helping others to es-
cape.
Finally 1t appeared that every
one was out, and the prince and Bill
ly dragged Peggy away from the
hungry flames that were now dart
ing f1ercely toward them.
