Show I wu - WHEN THE POLICE ARE S AN DIC APPED When the waif of crime swept over New Vol k City, there came a demand j for the resignation of Police Commis I'sioner Enrlghf. the public hr.vlng felt that the police foroe should have been able to suppress the lawlessness. The demand was unreasonable, unless un-less specific charges of failure to do his full duty could have been brought against the police commissioner. No city, however thoroughly policed, can expert to escape crime waves. London, England, has one of the best trained police forces, and yet Jack the Kipper terrified one whole section of London over a long period and committed com-mitted one horrible murder after another, an-other, without being caught If any large number of men turn against our laws, they can make a po lice force almost ineffective Even ! tually the offenders will be traced and punished for their criruep, but it will be a slow process too slow to meet 'the expectations of the public. oo . |
