Police Progress

With 100 additional policemen
scheduled to join the Metropolitan
Police Department on December l.,
thanks to passage by Congress of the
Cochran bill, the law enforcement
picture in Washington continues to
grow brighter. The new men will
expand police strength to 1915 Of
f1cers and privates, enabling Police
superintendent Kelly to increase the
number of policemen assigned to
patrol beats in potentially trouble
some areas. It Is well to remember,
however, that even with this latest
addition, Washington's police force
still will be short of the ratio between
police and population that existed IN
1890. To restore that ratio would
require the appointment OF more
than 100 men in addition to those
provided by the Cochran measure.
In voting to enlarge the force,
members of Congress evidenced their
belief that Chief Kelly should be
given adequate resources to carry
forward the rehabilitation and re-
construction of the department
which he began upon taking over his
new post. insufficient manpower
was one Of the handicaps under
which his predecessor labored for
years. There were, of course, other
faults contributing to the breakdown

In very real sense Christ was revo-
lutlonlSt. He saw the world in which He
lived grossly unjust and unfair in most
of its time-honored practices. He rebelled
against these. He even attacked the
palpable inconsistencies of the ruling
religious system. He went so far as to
drive from the sacred precincts of the
temple those who had made travesty Of
its holy offices. 1t was His attack upon
what He regarded as iniquitous practices
that ultimately brought Him to His
cross.
There are few lessons which this age
is pressing with more of urgency than
that which concerns an open and fexit1e
mind, a readiness and capacity to
reckon with the broader outlook of those
especially the young, who have seen the
need of readopting and readiusting
many of the practices and methods that
have to do with more just and eoui-
table way of life. Those of us OF the elder
generation may be discovering for the
first time that We are being carried to-
ward ways wholly unfamiliar to us:
that we are no longer able to grid our
selves as We did in former days We shall
be wiser and certainly more secure if we
prove ourselves reasonably subject to the
changes that must be. 1t is our deliberate
judgment that strong Christian ideals
are assuming a more militant part in
this reordering of life. We shall not be
less but more Christian, if these newer
expressions of old and neglected Chris
tan ideals have free and untrammeled
sway. They vii! need and must have the
mature judgment and guidance of those
who have ripeness of years, but if they
are repressed or their purposes too great
ly restrained results may follow inimical
to our largest and best interests.
Civilizations change. this is the way
Of growth and enrichment of life. We
would not if we could turn back the
hands on the dial of time. Jesus Christ
is calling the world to a new and better
era of happiness and security The
principles He gave to men call for the
fine idealism Of youth and the mature
wisdom of age. If we would not be car
ried whittier We would not. let US of the
older generation join with the more
militant and progressive of the younger,
and. together, build a new and better
world.

Gus railroads and docks necessary
for efficient transportation of arms
and munitions-all Of these factors
might be involved In any widespread
repetition of the disaster Of 1906. It
therefore is the part Of wisdom to
guard against unnecessary risks in
the earthquake zone wherever it is
feasible so to do. Construction
should be planned with comprehen-
sion of the peril implicit in the fact
that the Sierras still are rising.
There also should be constant re-
membrance of the hazard of fire in
such a neighborhood.
Yet there is no cause nor any ex-
cuse for panic. The surface of the
globe is changing necessarily. In the
process of mutation which the whole
planet experiences from hour to hour
if not from minute to minute some
disturbances of a dynamic sort are
to be taken for granted A few
slips" will be catastrophe, but even
the most dreadful of those tragedies
must be regarded as trifling when
compared with the suffering and
sorrow which humanity has been
called upon to endure at the hands
OF preverse and evil men. One ruth
less tyrant in Central Europe has
caused more grief in eight recent
years than has been occasioned by
earthquakes in as many centuries.

YOUTH AND AGE
BIZ the Rt. Rev. James z. Freeman D. d. ILL., D. D c T.
Bishop Of Washington

Speaking to one who was boastful
despite the infirmities of increasing years
the Master said: when thou vast
young thou girdest thyself, and walkedst
whittier thou wouldest but when thou
shalt be old, another shall grid thee, and
carry thee whittier thou wouldest not"
He was warning against the too great
assumptions of age and a too great con-
fidence in fitness to meet the new and
changing conditions of life. He recog-
nized that the energies and quick imagi-
nation of youth, its spirit of adventure.
even its bold impulsiveness had to be
reckoned with, as new occasions teach
new duties.'
There is something Of dee, signifi-
canoe in this word of counsel. Age is con-
servative, it is reluctant to reckon with
changes; its slogan is, "as things have
been they remain" Few men and women
who have lived through and beyond their
generation have the fiuidity of mind to
recognize and adjust themselves to new
pressures and new concepts. This is
peculiarly true as it concerns economic,
social and political systems. We have
fallen upon a time when this kind Of
old-age conservatism is dangerous. A
new Renaissance is at hand The world
which the elder generation has known
is in process of far-reaching, perhaps
radical changes In our time the very
foundations have suffered unsettlement
and many Of what we regarded as fixed
concepts of life have been rudely shaken.
Resistance, born of too great conserva-
tins is dangerous, and if pressed too far
involves perils
True, there is wisdom in the counsel
Of the elders. The "conscript fathers
in another age had a valuable contribu-
ton to make. What we are warning
against is that kind of rigidity of mind
that refuses to reckon with new and
changed conditions, the type Of closed
nina that cannot appraise the signif-
cance or the magnitude of new forces
that, with irresistible insistance demand
recognition. That such forces are evident
in this new and pregnant age is de-
monstrably true. The argument for old
and tested principles is not disputed,
the argument for a new and better and
more equitable world in which men shall
really work out their own life, is un-
challengeably true.

in police morale and efficiency and
an increase in lawlessness, culminat-
ing in the series of crimes ear
lier this year. Then came the draS-
tic reorganization of the Police De-
partment, including the long-needed
overhauling of the Detective Bureau
and, under Major Kelly's direction,
general shakeup of precinct per-
sonnel. The police force has taken
on new life and a measure of reas-
surance has returned to a city which
only a few months ago was thor
oughly alarmed over the shocking
crime conditions. There is real cause
for qualification over the recent
progress made toward better law en-
forcement in the National Capital.
