Recent tssuss of Tak STAR have contained in- terviews with policemen which deserve more than “a mere passing notice. These interviews show that the privates on the force reslize the defects of the existing system, and that they would gladly have these defects remedied. More than that, these enquiries developed the fact that there are men among the fore> capable of pointing out the way to remedy existing evils.
