Editorial Comment
Police and Deputy Sheriffs
(Waterville SentineD

Now that the clash between
Deputy Sheriffs Allen, Haglund and
Nash and the local police depart
ment has been fought to what is
probably the finish, majority opinion
in the city doubtless will be with the
police. If the charges that We're
made by the deputy sheriffs had
been proven, and Mayor Libby in
sists that they have not, they would
be of minor Importance and of no
material bearing ON law enforcement
in Waterville. us
Police have long been unjustly ac-
cused of not being sufficiently active
in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. Undoubtedly these officers are
in the best position to enforce this
particular law, provided they have
sufficient backing of public opinion
and are not too busy with other mat
ters of equal or even greater i'm
portance. These essential conditions
never exist. Any police department
in Maine, or in any other state for
that matter, that made it's town alb
solutely dry, or as dry as it could,
would last only until it could be re-
placed with one more liberal. This
pCCIl itIc anu Ill
other places time and time again,
often enough to make 1t automatic.
It's unfortunate. but it's a condition
and not a theory and may as well be
faced frankly-also that police must
be practical men and not wild-eyed
reformers
Few laymen have any conception of
the amount of work policemen do
that never gets any public attention.
They have large amounts of property
to protect, night and day, against
fire and thieves, mischievous and de-
linQuent children plague them al
most to desperation and the family
and neighborhood brawls into which
they are drawn are endless. OF late,
to all the old duties which were suf-
ficient, has been added the greatest
burden of all-traffic regulation and
all the legal business developed by
automobiles. So enforcing the pro-
hibitory law is but part of their
work, and mostly minor part at
that, for they do not have full re-
sponsibility as in other duties and
can shift it to other officials, which,
being human, they do when they can.
Experienced deputy sheriffs, famil-
lar with these conditions, never ex-
pect anything more than friendliness
and causal assistance from local
police in their work. They recognize
their speciality is enforcing prohibit
ton, are willing to accept the re-
sponsibility and are grateful for
what aid they receive, great or small.
They do not expect the police to
drop everything else and run at their
beck and call to catch pocket ped
dlers or single sales. Neither do the
police expect deputy sheriffs to
patrol city streets to maintain order
or help regulate traffic. Because the
local deputy sheriffs were not ex-
perienced, they asked too much of
the local police and the lack of CO.
operation Of which they complained
SO bitterly. was little more than the

ARMY oBEYs TRAFFIC RULES

Regard for the safety of all on the
highway seems to be conspicuously
absent in some motorists, though we
believe the number of these is be-
coming less. We wish 1t might be
possible to draft them into the Army
and put them to running cars under
Army regulations.
They would find then that Army
discipline is something not to be
sneered at; it would hold them to
compliance with regulations; 1t
would inform them that the Army
in time of peace does not consider
that it has any right to disregard
regulations, but that it is under dis
tinct obligation to do what 1t may
to contribute to the public safety on
the highways; that the Army con-
veyance shall give other vehicles
their half of the road, will not be
permitted to idle along delaying
others, will slow down at railroad
crossings, will be carefully handled
at highway crossings, and in observ-
ance of the regulations of the COM
munities through which they pass.
This attitude is in striking con-
trast with the old Prussian idea that
the man in uniform should elbow
others out Of his path, consider his
own course and disregard all others.
Also it Is noticeably different from
the attitude of a few-we are happy
to believe they are getting fewer
who are of the type represented by
the fellow that boosted he was big
ger than "old Grant"

Barbara Winthrop at Camp" by
Helen Katherine Broughall.
When Barbara Winthrop's father
announced to her that she was to
take trip with her parents to the
West, Barbara was probably the
happiest girl in the world at that
moment. And she was made doubly
happy when she was told that her
dearest chum, Peggy. was to ac-
company them.
In the story of Barbara Winthrop
at Camp" all the delightful places of
scenic beauty which the Winthrop
family and Peggy visited are de-
scribed in a very entertaining and
instructive manner and the reader
may vividly picture the Western
beauty spots such as Lake Louise.
Banff, Vancouver, Victoria, and San
Francisco and Los Angeles in all
their wonder. Their thrilling ex-
periences and the different customs
of the people with whom they come
in contact, all tend to make the story
interesting.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Winthrop are
suddenly called to Europe and Bar
bara is sent to a girls camp on
Catalina Island, the story almost be-
gins anew. Barbara who is a real
girl, full of humor and love of adj
venture obtains every possible ioy
from her camp life. She has many
pleasurable and odd experiences
which the author tells in most
fascinating way and the story will
give the girl who reads it many
happy moments.
