Hugh M. Smith, an eminent author

the deep are as predatory as the

ON TO WASHINGTON.

Much encouragement was given the
representatives OF tho Rarltan Ter
and Waterway Association who
visited Washington this week. These
trips should be made frequently. The
oftener the Raritan bay and river pro-
tect Is placed before congress the bet
ter chance there is for getting results.
The reason SO much money OF the
federal government goes into the
rivers OF the West and Middle West
is because the people out there keep
everlastlngly at 1t until they get what
they want. Some OF them maintain
Hobbies at Washington all the time
lpushing their pet projects.
The Rarltan bay and river have
been neglected at Washington be-
cause we here at home have neglected
them. We cannot expect other people
to take an interest in local afrairs II
we show no interest ourselves.
There Ia no doubt about the impor'
lance OF the Raritan waterways ant
now that the federal government 1t
self ia interested through the Rari
tan arsenal, the chances are good 70.

plish cd II we will show the prope
enterprise ourselves.

was we'll worth while. Let a delega

CTIdIT 70 It VTTTINF WHIT ~ -
1t would appear from the discussion
that the services o ia policewoman or
Iject that the officials who have the
matter in charge are almost persuaded
that the SERVES OF a polie#oman or
policewomen are needed in this COM
munity. Mayor Mra-lag, in his an
nual message, recommended that the
recreation commissioners and the
ipolice commissioners investigate the
need of such an officer.
Very earnest and intelligent members
| OF the recreation commission, ana
! those who know the needs Of the city
land have given special attention TO
this particular matter, have declared
THAT such an officer Is needed and have
urged nat one be appointed. The
| committee from the Board OF Re
icreation Commissioners was met IL
the best OF spirit by the Board of P0-
| lice Commissioners, and it's members
have shown that their minds are open
IL the suggctton. They appear to be
willing to make the recommendation
when convinced that the services G.
a pollcewoman are needed and that
ono Of the right ability can be SC
cured.
Moreover, CHEW Mulcahy says the
department "a make good use Of a
woman police officer, IL n should
je appointed. He is not yet pre-
pared to say whether or not such az
officer is actually needed.
The appointment of a police~oman
has been urged from time 10 time
~ individuals and by organizations,
especially those who have been n
zious to safeguard the welfare Of h
Dung girls Of the city as fully as
possible. If the welfare OF thought
less girls and young women can be
B.-44In ftqatt rod NV fha nnnfnfFnGn
Of such an official, certainly the city
should not hesitate, Il wiz not hest
tate to take the step. There is an
sarnest desire in every decent man
or woman's heart to insure in the
largest degree possible the protection
of the young women and girls OF the
community.
1t Is generally conceded that the
value Of the services Of a policeW0m-
an would depend almost entirely upon
aer character, her personality and
her re~sourcefulness. She should have
the purpose to help girls and the tact
to help them added to such authority
as would be given her as an officer of
the city.
Theoretically, at least. 1t would seem
that every progressive, constructive
step will have been taken in girl
welfare work when the city has pro-
vided a r%esouceful woman, acting in
the name Of the city and backed by
It's authority, as a Big Sister and pro-
tectine friend of girls that need at
tention. At least Elizabeth win be
conscious of the fact that 1t has done
its part in a very important field OF
effort.
If there are one or two such women
in the city who are willing to under
take such a delicate and responsible
task, why not Engage them for /
and try out the experiment? If II
proves a failure, they can be recalled
from the work entirely or put into
other service. 1t Is better to be over
jealous than to fall short OF doing
all that might be done in service OF
this kind.
