He should be relieved of the duties of that office. The Star today tells of Lang’s disgraceful conduct on a recent downtown “joy party.” The chief has known for some time that The Star was in possession of this information. There was opportunity for him to quietly resign and escape publicity, had he wished to doso. Instead, he busied himself with efforts to “‘fix’’ witnesses of his escapade, and with framing an elaborate excuse for his acts. What- ever may be the excuse for a private citizen to make a public exhibition of himself in the night life of the city, there can be no such excuse for a chief of police, whose duty it is to maintain decency and order. The most charitable thing that can be said of Lang’s outbreak is that he was most indiscreet. A CHIEF OF POLICE MUST BE ABOVE SUCH THINGS. LANG ISN'T.
