Show ACAIN THE POLICE. No whitewash was applied to the police po-lice department this morning in the columns of it3 organ. Whether the whitewash has given out, or the task is considered to arduous,,we do not know. The fact is that The Times is right in what it says about the prevalence of crime in this city and the inability of the police force to cope with it. This fact was amply demonstrated in our news columns last evening and the careful reader will observe that it is demonstrated every day in the columns of all Salt Lake newspapers. The public may have observed that when The Times makes statements it knows what it is talking about and always al-ways justifies itself if anybody denies what it says. The public is generally with The Times, and it has already learned that we aim to subserve the public good and go about it without i fear and without favor. Let the police department brace up. Let it devote all its energy and thought to controlling the criminal element of this city, and let none of these valuable valua-ble forces be wasted in trying to bulldoze bull-doze a newspaper that is always able to take care of itself. The lesson of this incident is for the police department, not for us. |
