even though he should suspect this

be frankly advised of the reason

Would Halt Soliciting.
For great number of years. not
only in this city but elsewhere,
there has been a time-honored Gus
tom of holding periodical police
benefits-raising money through the
sale of tickets to a baseball game.
field day, or what have you, for
the benefit of the widows and Or
phans of deceased policemen, for a
retirement fund, for some charity
or for any other purpose which ap-
pears to furnish satisfactory pre-
text. The sooner such a practice is
strictly and entirely prohibited. the
better. No member of any law-en-
forcement agency has any business
importuning the public for money
upon any pretext whatsoever. No
officer can sell any sort of ticket,
membership, pledge card or similar
device without resorting to rather
thinly veiled form of public extor-
ton. The uniform he wears is in
itself potent threat under which
to induce the public to contribute,
however willingly or unwillingly
they do so, to the particular activity
for which the funds are being
raised.
AS to the necessity for raising
money for such purposes, the Off
GERS own self-respect should tell
him that if the proceeds are for his
benefit or the benefit of his depend
ents he is forfeiting his right to the
respect and esteem of the public by
assuming the role of a common
mendicant; he might as we'll don
pair of black glasses and with his
hand full of ShOeStrings and pencils
and his tin cup take his stand along
the streets and beg openly for aims.
AS to raising funds for other pur-
poses, however worthy the cause
may be, and many are entirely
laudable, no law enforcement officer
can sell tickets or solicit funds
without neglecting his other duties;
with each ticket he sells he must
necessarily give away some part of
his prestige and his ability to en-
force the law fairly and impartially.
All argument TO the contrary not
wlthstanding, no officer can collect
money from person one day and
then enforce the law against him
he next. The business of raising
money by uniformed officers leads
to many unsavory practices; the
new man quickly learns that the
collection OF money under certain
fiimSy pretext is not only sanctioned
but is encouraged and insisted upon
by his superiors. Certain officers
will see no harm in doing little
collecting" for their own personal
benefit If circumstances are favor
able. The practice of permitting
police officers TO raise funds bv
solicitation OF the public is def
nitely harmful one and cannot be
TOO strongly condemned"

From now until mid-September
white marlin are an ever-preSent
possibility for anglers fishing off the
Maryland and Virginia coasts, even
though the first one has not been
brought in.
The appearance of offShore waters
for the past several weeks has been
indicative of their early arrival. In
other years the first marlin has been
brought in as early as June IT.
There is no doubt the billed fish are
moving north. In addition to other
catches along the South Carolina
ccsst in the past three weeks, there
was a catch of 52-pound sailfish
this week by Capt. Vic Lance at
Southport, N. c., to give further
assurance. Sails usually are later in
making their appearance than the
white marlin, and while this area is
several hundred miles south of
winter quarters, we believe it close
enough to forecast the early start of
the season in Maryland.
Sixth Season for Marlin.
This will be the sixth season of big
game fishing at Ocean City. In that
short space of time it has become
the best grounds in any northern
waters. In two of those years the
largest number of marlin ever
brought in to a single port were
caught by Ocean City boats. Add to
that the fact that white marlin are
rated by authorities everywhere to
be the sportiest of all big game fish.
