The Peril of National Police
dearborn independently

In recent interview, Joseph M. Quigley Presi-
dent OF the Information Association Chiefs of Po-
lice predicted Federal police for the United States
to supersede the present local police detection
and prevention of crime This force he said
would come into being in the five years
This new force would naturally be much more
efficient than the scattered and loosely CO.
ordnated bodies but apart from constitutional
provisions which probably would prevent it from
suppansing the local forces, might be IA very bad
thlhg In European countries national police have
tended TO become oppressive to- become political as
well as criminal police. Abuses hard to remedy
especially when they are local and the authorities
far away
Local police are responsive to local conditions and
TO local pressure This is weakness but il is also
one of the safeguards of bilerty The permanent
bureaucracy OF national police afford to laugh
at the protests OF citizens Only the tremendous
upheayal can unseat the bureaucrat.
England is now fighting the naturalization of
its local police the Capitalization control of police
forces 1t is having experience with the poli-
teal use of nationalized police, and has not liked
the taste it got. We have not yet had even that
taste but probably should like it less.

chance of getting together as a party

NATIONAL RESULT,
LOCAL ELIMINATION.
The result of the national election ap-
peared to be the elimination OF the Demo
cratic party, as a party, from the local
field
without n solid Democratic opposi-
ton, Republicans contemplate the pros
poets of independent movements in their
own ranks and it was even prOphesled
that the city election would be solely q
fight between administration Republicans
and anti-admiD&@gYation Republicans,
with the few Democrats holding the
balance Of power in the city.
1t is exceedingly doubtful whether the
Democratic party as a party can ever
come back In Marion County.
Certainly it will never come back as
1t has been constituted.
There VIII either be a reorganizati on
from top to bottom or an abandonment
of all organization.
The leaders in this last campaign are
not at all anxious to carry the heart

NAME AND TRADITIONS
But NO BODY.
Right now there Is a party name with
traditions a wrecked organization and a
record OF overwhelming disaster for sale
or lease at a bargain.
Talk Of the duty Of a militant mi
nority makes no impression.
1t may be a patriotic duty to consti-
tute an effective minority, but 1t is a
thankless duty and there are few in
Indianapolis who care for 1t as a pas
time.
The Democratic party OF Marion
County has been so erectually wrecked
by the greatest disaster in the history
OF the national organization that there Is
a grave question as to whether It can
ever be rehsbllitated
Anyhow. 1t Is safe to assume that for
long time to come there viii be no Wig
orous efforts toward rehabilitation.
And the most peculiar thing about this
prospect is that not even the most en-
thusisstic Democrat OF yesterday seems
to care hg whether there is a rehabil-
itation or not.

European Press
Comment on u. S.
Election Result

LONDON, Nov. 4.-'''The world is tired
of dictatorship and the American people
with superb political genius are lending
their reaction" the London Post said to-
day.
The Daily News saw the composition
of Harding's cabinet as more important
than anything else now.
THE appointment of such men as Elihu
Root or Herbert Hoover will be viewed
with unqualified approval" the News
said, "but the BorahJ Johnson cOmbina-
TONS accession to power would be a con-
centration of the isolation policy which
might easily become anti-British and
anti-European."
The Mail saw Cox's defeat as a con-
demnatIon Of the League Of Nations as
constituted at Versailles, but said Hard
ings party is aware it must do its part
sooner or later in settling the troubles
of the old world.
Harding's election was n warning 10
Bolshevism everywhere, the Times de-
clared. The Republicans are not blind

ing with important labor problems, 1t

evolve a practical scheme for a new

ton to the vote against Debs Hard!ng's

reaction, undissuised, it predicted in the
"Wilsonian fashion Of high professions
Of democracy"
Harding" the Herald declared, ''is
the servant Of big business and big bust
ness is getting ready for a big fight on
labor"
BERLIN. Nov. 4.-"The American cleo
ton result was not a victory for Senator
Harding nor a defeat for Governor Cox,
but a severe defeat for Wisconsin," said
the Vossische Zeitung today.
This declaration seemed to be the key
note OF the comment in all sections Of
the press.
The German press in general seems to
be disinclined to rest any hopes in
President-elect Harding, but regards
him as 1.-The lesser of two evils"
DIE Freiheit, the organ OF the Com
munists, declares that both Republicans
and Democrats represent only capitalistic
interests and that Germany win not Sc
cure any real gains from either side.
