THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: TUESDAY. ---Jaly 16, 1980. THE EVENING STAR kas the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the ether pupers pubiished fr Washington. —=—— New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, The Star Out of Town. Tae Evexrve Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month, G2 But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are ‘Tae Stan has repeatedly directed attention to the damage suffered by the District through the uncalled-for restriction placed upon its choice of recruits for its police force. The law reads that “no person shall be appointed as policeman or watchman who has not served in the army or navy of the United States and re- ceived an honorable discharge.” Everybody knows why this clause was engrafted upon the statute. It was one of many means taken, after the close of the civil war, to testify the grati- tude of the government to its veteran defend- era, There was good sense av well as patriotism in it for a time, as the men who had seen honorable service in the ficld were presumptively brave, strong. and inured to ex- posure and fatigue. But with the passage of years every argument in its favor disappeared. Men who quitted the army in 1865 in the prime of health and strength became superannuated. ‘Those who were thirty years old then are fifty-four now; those who were forty-five are nearly seventy. Eventhe youngsters who had enlisted promptly on reaching man’s estate and served their four years are now forty-nine —close upon an age when no man feels his full capacity for work. For a long time, therefore, the clause has been a positive incumbrance rather than a benefit. It has remained in the statute for no better reason than that Congress, for political effect, has not dared do anythfng which might be construed as reflecting upon the veterans of the civil war, Asa matter of fact, we are drawing now upon the regular army in time of peace forour supply of policemen in the District. What is the result? Army officers are not so angeli- cally unselfish as to be willing to part with the pick and flower of their troops for the sake of furnishing the capital city with superior civil guardians. We have to take what they are content to give us, with the cousequence that a man who is obedient and of good habits, but who has nothing else to commend him, and who, perhaps, has some physical weakness, which unfits him for hard work in the field, stands the fairest chance of obtaining bis honorable discharge for the pur- pose of joining our police force. Resort has been proposed to the plan of selecting compe- tent civilians for police, and letting them en- list with the understanding that they are to re- ceive their discharge shortly afterward. But this would have been at best a subterfuge—a demoralizing evasion of law, and the officers of the army were properly unwilling to lend them- selves to it, The only candid course left open for improving the present state of things is to repeal the obnoxious law; but it is suggested that the feelings of Congress can be spared by giving the amendment the guise of an addition rather than a curtailment. If to the statute, as it stands, were appended the words, “or from the national guard of the District of Co- lumbia,” a point at least would be gained. We could then be sure of having a supply of really able-bodied and intelligent men to choose from at all times, residents of the District, acquainted with its needs and directly interested in its wel- fare. If any city in the world wants such ma- terial for its police force it is Washington, with its miles upon miles of surface area to be pa- troled and its meager numerical allowance of men to patrol the: —___———>--—_____ Major Hains, in his report, again calls atten- tion to the dangerous nature of the obstruction afforded by the Long bridge, and says the necessity of early action in respect to its re- construction is emphasized by the recent freshet. Had it occurred when the river was fall of ice, a gorge would, in all probability, have formed at the bridge, which would have thrown much more water into the city and done much greater damage. As it was, the obstruction of the piers was so great as to cause an accumulation of drift, which reduced the discharge area materially, Major Haines poiuts out the additional dangers from the Long bridge obstruction that must follow should « railrosdembankment be built at Alexandria island, or should the island be diked against floods by the owners, In conclusion, he says, with suggestive puint: “Attention has been called so often to the necessity of rebuilding the Long bridge with- outany action being taken that it seems al- most impertinence to again recur to the sub- ject, but the necessity increases as the work advances. To delay it longer is to put vast in- terests in jeopardy.” It is to be hoped that his urgent warning will receive some attention this time. The Long bridge is a standing menace to the health and safety of the city, and all community interests should unite in a determined effort to abate the muisance. The Commissioners should lead off in the work; citizens’ committees should co- operate; proper representations made to the President of the evil would, without doubt, in- duce him to make special recommendations to Congress for remedial legislation. This should be backed up by urgent appeals to Congress on the part of the commanity. The necessities of the case are so urgent and so capable of demon- stration that it is hardly possible that persistent concentrated effort will not secure the needed legislation to relieve the city of this terrible peril, ——— + Governor Lowry has shown commendable energs. in default of yet iaying his hands on the priscipals of the lete prize fight, in taking those parties to it who were within reach. The rich lumberman who owned the field where the fight took place, the referee, and other local celebrities who aided and abetted the violation of law, have been arrestedand bound over for trial, This is strictly business. The governor has aimed at big game instead of contenting himself with the little fellows, the poor and in- significant crowd who would bave had to sur- render without discretion. Public sympathy is with him, as it is with any man of nerve who basa moral struggle to make and throws his whole strength into it. If he succeeds, against all the odds he has to face, in convicting and punishing the leaders of the gang who flung contempt upon his official authority, he will give more of a backset to the practice of prize- fighting than all the homilies ever printed or Sermons ever preached.
