Ripping Rhymes
IN JAIL AND OUT
BY Walt Mason

1t doesn't fill my heart with joy to
see a gent in jail; I'm sorry for the
erring boy who's left the narrow trail
Some day l hope no man will dwell
where warders' keys are clinked,
some day l hope the prison cell will
be thing extinct. But since we have
our costly jails, if they become a jest
our system says and fails and law
gees galley west. Suspended SEN
fences obtain, amusing sinful gents,
paroles make punishment look vain,
as vain as twenty cents. No sooner
do We send a man to languish in the
pen, than able lawyers work some
plan, and get him out again. Each
day the killers leave their dead, ac-
cording to the dope, and of a hundred
slayers red perhaps one draws a rope.
We turn the vicious hoodlums loose
with gentle reprimands, and then we
wonder why the duece the crime wave
still expands. We are too merciful,
l fear, and make our law a freak; we
sentence sinners to year, and free
them in a week. And then they their

Equipping the Police Department

The recommendations of the metropolitan po-
lice board for the purchase of an automobile to
be used for emergency purposes by the police
and for the equipping of the members of the
force with standardized weapons, should be acted
on favorably by the city council.
The police department should be maintained
at the highest state of efficiency at all times,
but especially so at this time. The department
should have an automobile of sufficient power to
be able to cope with the cars used by thugs and
yeggs who may operate in the city or near it.
If the police lack high powered automobile
they are hopeessly handicapped at the very out
set in the pursuit of criminals.
The city also should purchase firearms for
the police. The men are forced to buy their own
weapons, the result being collection of arms
that is far from satisfactory. The city should
equip the force with revolvers of standard make
and provide the men with ammunition to hold
regular shooting practice.
A niggardly attitude toward the police de-
partment is foolish one Police are paid $115
monthly for IL hours work, seven days a week.
Out of this they are compelled to buy uniforms
and weapons. In few weeks they will be COM
PEELED to buy new uniforms, which will cost them
$50.
The city provides its other departments with
equipment. The raincoats of the fire department
are furnished by the city. Tools and appliances
for other departments are paid for by the city.
Why should the police be ignored in this par
ticuar?
An efficient police department is necessary
