Many OF them ask what the
writer's should do To make their
protest against such wanton
cruelty effective.
There Is a great deal that can
he done, and some things that
definitely should not be done.
In the first place, the best local
tiles to make intelligent and effcc-
tive protests felt are I'm the various
states rather than 10 the federal
government.
The politicians OF the federal
government have developed an i'm
dependent high hat attitude to a
painful degree.
They have come 10 feel that
they are rather superior 10 popu-
lar opinion anyway.
They depend, for their re-elec-
tion, on The jobs they are able to
hand out. on the dole they are
able 10 distribute, on the bench
men and hangers-on they are able
TO marshal.
I'm fact, they rely mare an the
bribery of patronage and political
Iargesse than they do on public
opinion.
And they have come 90 consti-
tute sort Of political autocrncy,.
and like all autocracies they have
a contempt for public opinion, and

Inspector Miller
Commissioner Young
Decides Choice Is
Logical One

Inspector Arthur E. Miller is ex-
pected to be given permanent as
Signment as supervisor of the po-
lice traffic control work before the
end of this month, when the re-
tirement of Inspector William E.
Holmes becomes effective.
The permanent designation of In
Spector Miller had been held up for
about two weeks due to a position
taken by Commissioners Young and
McCoach that the permanent as
signment should be made by the
Board of Commissioners rather than
the superintendent of police, Maj.
E. w. Brown. However, Col. Nc
Coach has maintained all along
that he had an open mind" on the
question.
Commissioner Young had asked
that the final decision be delayed
for a short period so that he could
study the situation. When Maj.
Brown first indicated that Inspector
Miller would get the assignment,
Commissioner Young protested that
"this thing should not be jammed
down our throats" However, he
said yesterday that he considered
Inspector Miller the logical choice, "
indicating that eventually he would
vote with Commissioner Hazen,
champion of Inspector Miller. Col.
McCoach also is expected to agree.
