RESPECT FOR OFFICERS OF LAW.

1t is not unlikely that part of the lawlessness
that is so prevalent throughout the United States
may be traced to the attitude which boys and
youths have been permitted to assume toward
officers of the law 1t is no longer an uncommon
thing to hear policemen spoken of unexpectedly.
1t is not claimed that the highest type of men
can always be secured for places the police
force, but as rule they who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the people far they
are able to protect them and otherwise them,
They are representatives of the law, and as such
they are respected by law abiding persons
There is disposition the part of certain
classes to talk back" at policeman other officer
of the law-to make slurrng remarks to others
regarding them to commit acts of haunting
character. 1t is practice that should be rendered
unpopular by more severe penalties.
Persons of all ages should be impressed with
the fact that policemen employed to protect
the interests of all by enforcement of the regua-
tions made for the welfare of the public. If dis
courtesy is shown to officers of the law the offenders
should be taught lesson that will be good for
themselves and for others similarly disposed.
