Grant of Police Power.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-I judge from an editorial para
graph in today's issue OF The Times
Dispatch that you are apprehcnsive
concerning the granting OF police
powers TO certain city employees who
have charge of city property. and
imagine that you misconceive the exact
nature of the power conferred by your
language, but civilian running at

tialities OF a menace to society" How
ever sound that may be as a general
proposition. it is not Applicant to the

employees are not running at large"
with police authority, but, under the
charter and in the commissions issued
to them their police authority is con-
fined In its exercise to the property Of
which they are custodians and, more
over. in no case is police authority
ever conferred except upon applica-
ton OF the superiors OF these en-
ployees.

One reason why the Russian situation has
been so little understood in this country is
that the government in picking mostly liter
airy fe!lers' to SO there and report on condi-
lions made the mistake of choosing too many
near-Soclalists. Had the true situation been
realized in 1917 by our government, its sub
sequent attitude toward Bolshevism might
have been different, and its opposition to eff
fect1ve measures by the allies to check its
growth would have disappeared sooner.
