' -So far as the statement of .the police department is concerned. I wsnt to call attention to the fact that they have only criticised me, but have not done anything themselves to better the conditions.' Is it not Tight to expect that a police de partment, charged with enforcement of the law, guardians or the peace number ing several times the men I have at mv command, should rather cloae.up places utey claim are Dad tnan waste words try Ing to. discredit me before the people.? Is not their statement merely confession of guilt ttn their part In falling to act when they have knowledge of the infraction of .the law? - , "However,' I want to know 'the facts. I propose to act in accordance therewith, too, and not to wink at law breaking. - "I will say that it never was my. policy to attempt to close up all houses in the city, or even to make a general crusade against them. . I believe thst conditions may be bettered. To do what Is possible and strive all the time to make the -city a, little better is the policy that appeals to me as rational and likely to succeed.''
