recognized merely as an
auxiliary to the Police Force.
That should not be. The oath
of office, the uniform and
the badge are emblems of
City authority, which after
all, eclipse every individual,
regardless of race or color.
Frankly, The TRIBUNE
does not think for a single
moment that such a seggre-
gated pattern is necessary in
our Police Department. We
see nothing wrong with two
Negro patrolmen being as
signed to work together in a
designated district any more
than the assignment of two
white men working together.
What we are really saying is,
when there is no Negro Of
ficer t accompany a Negro
on his district, a white man
should be assigned to accom-
pany the Negro or the Negro
to accompany the white man.
The work is too dangerous
and the responsibility is too
grave to be thrust upon one
Individual. 1t is needless to
say the situation is more
complicated when the indi-
vidual happens to be a Negro.
Once all the members of
the Police Force are seen as
such and not as whites and
Negroes, the better it will be
for the Department and the
city as a whole.

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY. AUGUST Ia, 1854
Are Negro Policemen An Auxiliary?

After several years of
creditable service as uni
formed policemen in the city
Of Roanoke, we have been
reliably informed the Negro
officers are generally and
Systematically being classed
to themselves when assigned
to their respective beats.
This is especially noticeable
when assigned to patrol du-
ties. We are informed that in
all other cases two men are
assigned to each patrol car.
The Department keeps four
or more special men avail
able to fill any vacancy caus-
ed by the absence of any of
the regular men. In that way,
two white men always ride
together on their designated
beats.
Not so with the Negro
policemen. Under the present
set-up; unless there are
enough Negro officers on
duty to- provide teamwork
for their beats, the Negro
officers must patrol his beat
single handed. With only
three Negroes employed on
our Police Force the greater
portion of their patrol duties
must be done singlehanded.
This obvious pattern of
discrimination in our Police
Department suggests that
the Negro policemen are

The average Americans re-

what George Bernard Shaw had

impossible for an Englishman to

It's quite possible for Amer

Z Mr.. Dale decided on another

'jamming up the transportation

at trick two.
Now Miss Brash saw that in
order to count up to 10 tricks.
she had to ruff off two clubs.
After winning the spade lead in
her hand she cashed the ace
of clubs and ruffed a club in
dummy. She got back to her
hand with a trump and ruffed
her last club. AL right so far.
But how was she going to get
back to her hand to pick up the
last trump? If she played the
king of diamonds, Mr.. Dale
would ruff it. So she led the
ace and another heart, hoping
Mr.. Dale would have to win the
second one.
Mr.. Dale mentally crossed his
fingers and ducked like a man.
Mr.. Champion won and returned
the jack of diamonds. The king
was put up and Mr.. Dale got
his ruff. Another heart furnished
