or out of office at will. AS result, law
enforcement bodies are hampered,
efficiency is lowered. the type of per-
sonnel is weakened and the protective
power of police force often is turned
into protective alliance for the law
less. instead of bulwark of public
safety.
If you want real enforcement, de-
mand that it be free from politics in all
its branches. In this, honest politicians
will aid you. Political freedom has
been achieved in other forms Of public
life. 1t has not been accomplished in
law enforcement largely because there
has not been sufficient indignation and
public demand by which it can be
brought about. When you insist upon
it, you'll get it. Not before.

No politician threatens Special Agents
with the loss of their jobs if they con-
tinue on the trail of a wanted man,
nor insists that they forget or change
their evidence once the case goes to
trial and they are called to the witness
stand.
All this is not an accomplishment of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The credit goes to those true pubic
servants in higher command, who
have realized that law enforcement is
one branch of activity where politics
of any kind cannot help but exert a
stultifying influence.
Corrupt. venal politics lives by
granting favors; every faction works
only for its own good. regardless of the
protection of society. Wise and honest
politicians know that when this system
includes the criminal, it is necessary to
work against common welfare. There
fore, they refrain from such support.
The tragedy is that all politicians
are not true public servants. Some
only want votes. They also want every
possible bit of potential patronage.
Therefore, they eagerly reach out for
law enforcement bodies with their vast
personnel, which politics can throw in

NOFTe Loss
FOr6MOnths
In Last Year
Only $500 Damage
Since May; Total for
Year $9,753, Slight
Increase

Henderson's fire loss for 1886, while
about $1,000 more than for 1885, was
still very slight, according to COM
pliation today by Fire Chief E. T.
Shepherds reports for the year,
month by month.
For 1896 the total loss was $9,753, as
against So, 493 in 1885.
Last year there were IS calls to the
firemen, and of that number, forty
were fires of some description, al
though many of so little consequence
as not to justify making a record
The striking side of the record for
1886 was that for six entire months
there was no fire loss at all. From
and including June through December
the only fire damage was $500 in No
vember. Not in recent years, since re-
cords have been kept, has there been
so large a portion of the year with
out any fire loss at all. Considerably
more than half of the years loss was
in January, with 1929.
The two years, compared by months
show fire loss as follows
