The police look to the “ lon” for ction and the “organization” depends upon the police for support. fesult is insubordination, inefficlency, rottenness and scandal, ‘These conditions are irremediable under the SYSTEM, Though the missioner has a plenitude of power he elther dare not or will not use perly to discipline the force, No Commission or Superintendent or has ever done it, as Devery has confessed. ‘The only hopeful recourse, in the opinion of The World, is the adop- of a Military system in place of the present political and grafters’ sys- The head of the police should be a commander of experience, char- and ability, with a tenure as secure and an authority as absolute as ‘the generat of an army.
