EDITORIAL.

NS AONNAtlJ bCCu LCC6lVGu anu DuDllSIl-
ed herein en- the subject of alleged fail
ure OF a policeman of this town to take
charge OF a case of disorderly conduct
involving United States marines. it is
brought to our notice that the police force
here has been instructed not to interfere
with the marines in any Way. share or
form. and warned not to attempt to arrest
them, but that when necessary the police
shall summon the military guard from the
barracks. We do not know whether or not
THIS order exists in fact, and so far it
would appear that no such written order
signed by any authority has been pro-
duced. Furthermore we have not sought
to lind out officially if the police are act
ing on any such order real or imaginary.
Blu we look at it that if such an
order is being observed it serves to
destroy the effectiveness of the police
when this may have to be urgently
relied on. Good citizenship calls for
due regard for law and order and a
citizen remains one whether he be mill
tary or police. Anyone may assist in
the good work of suppreseing dis.
order and elsewhere private citizens
are under an obligation to so cooperate
with the police or the military by plac-
ing his car at disposal in running down
criminals, and in other respects. Pri-
vate citizens have lost their lives in
this way and the State recognizing that
they were acting under a provision which
Tor the time being placed them on the
footing OF the legally empowered authority
has compensated their families accord

a woman being beaten by a bully. Any.
one coming along would be constrained
to tall IN and rescue the sufferer. 1t would
not occur to any real man in such a case to
hesitate over whether he was clothed with
the authority of the law or not, for in.
stlnctlvely be would be satisfied Of the
justice or intervention. But according
TO the alleged ruling TO which policemen
here are subject it would be all right for
a private citizen to act in such q case, but
the policeman WOuid be restricted in his
action according to who the mauler was.
by the time he can get the authorized
machinery working in this case murder
may be committed, or serious damage
Gone at any rate. In other words if the
claim Is correct that the policeman is not
available to suppresS disorder at all times,
then he becomes in a way less effective
than a private cit zen. and is Of very lit
tie use. Besides. the military is not al
ways In uniform. many of them are
about IN civilian dress. How will a
policeman know sometimes when he is
