For a reasonable time and number, robberies and assaults, if not assuring, are interesting to read of and furnish topics for an idle moment's discussion, but thuggery has now reached the perfection and prevalence that it is no longer an impersonal matter; there are tod many of them; the chances of being a victim are getting too clos¢ for comfort and are a cause for worry Yet, what is to he done We have tolerated, pitied, scorne I and stormed at the failures of the police department until our faith in any improvement in that source has been dissipated. Private ‘citizens are taking to carrying revolvers for self protection, and vigilante talk is heard from otherwi law abiding men. Surely in a city of the size and development of Seattle it should not be necessary to carry a revolver, This} practice only adds to the general precariousness of our already menaced lives. Some tragic mist some honest citizen will give up his life because some equal honest, bait precipitate, citizen is too abrupt with his firearms The condition today is simply intolerable. Hold-up 1 murderers, thugs of all sorts, burglars and thieves are and robbing with an audacity that is almost ludicrous. running the whole gamut of crime with the | they are flaunting their abilities in the face of the poliee and bragging of their exploits to their victims, and allthe while piling wp their loot with as much security as it they were engaged in some bighly honorable and con*ervative business We have laughed and joked about this until there are no fonger any humorous feattires. The situation is serious. With a police chief admittedly unqualified for his duty, a police force demoralized and only anxious to prove that no crime has been committed; with these impossibitities staring us in the face, what are we going to do? Must the respectable, law-abiding, men of this city be forced to skulk in the dark in fear, until qe thugs fill them eselves to repletion, or leave the town in disgust at its “casi ness”? Actually, aside from the mere matter of profit, i puzdle why thugs and hold-ups come here; their lives must be 1d pedal on of mMonotonows placidity ; a stroll after dark, with a piece of pipe | tte a ene bludgeening some unsuspecting man or woman; emptying the pockets; home to bed Why, the bookkeeper on his high stool, or the grocery boy with his basket, leads a wild, adventurous life when com pared with the serene, unruffled existence-of the ttle high- waymen. It will only be a question of a short time until all the superannuated crooks of the country will come here to spend their declining years in peace and security Seattle simply has to do something. If Chief Wa his old position back as the price of his resignation, it would be the best bargain the city ever made to give it to him.
