mat every policeman ought 10 know his
duty, and, moreover that he ought to

ldea that a patrolman or detective
should DO his work without the eXpecta-
uon OF getting some special reward,
Acting on that opinion, Mr. Edgar will
abolish the practice of allowing detect
ives or other policemen to accept re-
wards for their work from private citi-
zens. For the past few wears II a man
lost a keyring or had his automobile
stolen, he has had no good chance to
get action from the police department
unless big reward was offered. The
detective department seems to have
been regarded as a fine place for earn

TAFT ANSWERS CRITICS
BY Ex-PREsIDENT WIN. H. TAFT

.
OF course we cannot hope to make
the great changes such as the League
of Nations will bring about without
opposition. Fortunately, the war has
taught us the great advantages of In
ternational cooperation. 1t was only
by good team work that the free lib
erty-loving nations were able to whil
Germany.
The treaty which the United States
Senate is debating obligates the mesn
bers of the proposed League to protect
one another against attack from enc
mics outside their own boundaries
bent upon conquest Although thi
agreement (Article X of the Covenant)
Is vital to any arrangement whicl
seeks to prevent war, 1t has been at
tackled on the ground that 1t would
draw the United States into wars In
various parts of the world and force
us to send our boys to fight in quar-
rels which did not concern us.
We should remember, however, that
the main purpose Of Article Y Is
to frighten nations tempted to wars OF
conquest from yielding to the tempta-
ton, by the certainty that they will
be crushed If they begin such a war by
universal boycott and union Of
forces Of the world against them. If q
big war breaks out again, the United
States will be forced to take part in
1t whether we have a League Of Ma.
tons or not. We tried hard enough
to keep out of the war with Germany
but found we couldn't.
A little war contrary to the League
rules could be handled by the powers
close at hand. Certainly 1t would NOT
be necessary to send American troops
to suppress an uprising in the Bal.
kans when prompt action by the armies
of Italy or some other nearby power
full nation could suppress the fracas
before American troops could even
get started.
