ADEQUATE
POLICE
SYSTEM
DEMAND OF CAPITAL
an
After organizing n police forco in
tho Capital City with results most
flattering in driving out tho crimin
al class and bringing pcaco and
qulotudo out of a reign of dread,
causod by tho many depredations
committed almost overy night n
month ago, tho city council is said
to bo planning changes on the pres
ent polico forco.
Any radical moves taken by tho
council can hardl bo accounted for
by Chief of Police Gibson. Tho two
additional men plnccd on tho forco
by tho council at tho time crime was
rampant, had an electric effect on
tho conditions. Within four days
after tho forco was strengthened,
hold-upo, housc-broaking and other
petty depredations ceased, and tho
suBplcious looking characters who
had froquentod tho city tit tho titno,
and who woro hore for no good pur
poso, disappeared and hnvo not been
back.
Prom an article in "Tho Dotcc
tlvo," ono of tho most widely known
papors of criminal information pub
lished In tho United States, it hns
bpon Ioarncd that tho men amliated

lng theso facts into consideration, n
poorly-policed city Is at tho meiey
of tho criminals who make it tholi
particular business to select Mie
richest nnd most prosperous cities,
with tho least danger of being caught
In tho tolls ns n place in which to
ply their peculiar trade. Within
flvo or six hours nftor any change
has been effected by tho city coun
cil as now Intended, tho Information
will bo common talk imamr crlm-
I and, as has been tho case in other
cities, according to reports given by
police- chlofn, tho tlmo after reduc
ing n polico forco will not bo long
boforo tho trains will unload tho
mon who do tho crimes.
At tho tlmo tho council appointed
tho two additional pollcomen, Ohlof
Gibson formulated a plan by which
tho incoming and outgoing trains
could bo thoroughly watched at the
Southern Pacific passonger depot.
At this point tho traveling hobo
class can enter tho city, nnd by thlH
way only. Tho chlof Instructed his
train men to keep careful wntch for
tho bronkbeatn riders, nnd If thoy
could not bo persuadpd to again
board tho train, bring thein to tho
city jail for investigation, and In this
manner potty thlovery hns boon cut
down considerably, and alsj tho
presence of tho undesirable:?. In
ordor to accomplish theso results (he
two policemen wore necessary. To
put tho responsibility of caring for
tho trains on tho shouldors of ono
man only, would be a wnsto of tlmo
and energy, ns ono man enn only
watch ono sldo of n train nt a tlmo
thus rendorlng access to tho city an
ensy matter for tho hoboes who
could sneak off In tho darkness with
no ono to molest them on tho oppo
site Bldo from whoro ono olllcer is
situated. To placo two men nt tho
dopot with n total of thrco mon on
tho forco would work a hardship on
ho city in tho meantime as it Is an
established fnct, having been proven
heretofore, that a lono oillcor is
very lnndcquato to look out for a
city of this size.
Tho uniforming of tho polico as
directed by an ordinance rocontly
pnsscd by tho council, Is another
vital matter In polico protection, to
bo consldorod. To compel an of
ficer who Is on duty to wade through
mud to his shoe-tops, down back al
loys and bohlnd unkept storos, In or
der that thoy may attend to tho back
door fastonlugs, and at tho same tlmo
don n $10 polico uniform and keep
his shoos shlned nnd look neat and
tidy nt nil times, Is rather an Impos
ition and n, dotrimont to itho polico
forco In gonornl. With n night forco
of four men, notwithstanding tho
proposed reduction, It Is an nbso
luto necessity for theso mon to koop
a sharp look-out In tho rear of tho
storos, and In doing so, tho oillcor Is
compelled, to disregard nppearanco
and net nccordlng to rules. It Is
very noccossnry nnd convenient for
polico ofllccrs to bo drossod In tho
uniform ns provided by tho uniform
ordlnnnco In largo cltlos, whoro tho
polico hnvo nothing to do but pn
rado tho main Btroots, but n night
ofllcor In Salem is un nltogothor dif
ferent mnttor.
Anothor phnso of tho uniforming
ordlnnnco, bolng of groat lmportanco
to tho forco, Is that of recognition
of tho ofllcers drossod In bluo conts
nnd holmots by tho ovndors of tho
law. A small handful of pollcomon
can not frlghton tho IuwIosh trlho
Into Btnylng awRy. it Is very woll
and good for a largo polico dopnrt
mont to wear uniforms ns tholr num
ber Is significant of dangor, but a
mombor of n small forco is com
pelled .to lny hands on tho criminal
bofoio ho can accomplish results. A
unlformod pollcomnu cnu bo Identi
fied by u orook as an oillcor of tho
law flvo blocks away and can keep
constantly posted regarding his
notions nnd positions during tho
night and do the underhanded work
nt tho same tlmo unmolstod.

COTTAGE GROVE EDITOR
IS CALLED UPON
Tho editor of this pnpor callod
anothor nowspnpor man to ordor for
referring to tho Gorman-American
Voroln ns tho Sauerkraut socloty.
Tho practlco of slurring tho Gorman
American In somo newspaper Is
based on a misapprehension, becauso
snuerkraut Is no longer nn article
tiBod exclusively by tho Gormnns,
but haB become a unlvorsal article
of diet among Americans thomsolvcs.
Salem has a factory whoro It Is Bold
and quite iih much of It Is rotnllod
among Amorlcans us among tho
Gormnns themselves. Wo copy what
tho editor at Cottago Grove haB to
sny in Justice to that paper for
apollglzlng, not because wo caro any
thing about the matter ourselves.
Hero it Is:
(Western Oregon, Dec. 18, 1908.)
E. Hofor, of tho Snlom Capital
Journal, tnkes exception to an arti
cle published In UiIb paper last Fri
day under tho head of "Sauorkraut
Socloty Elect Him," nnd rushes into
print, declaring that Tho WeBtom
Oregon hna not only insulted him
but ovory Gorman-American citizen
In Lnno county. Tho Item tho colonol
gets so riled over was clipped from
a Salem paper, printed under a Sa
lom data lino of December 8th, nnd if
his foollngs wero so badly hurt, why
didn't ho begin at homo with hla
hammer? Tho Horn cast no reflec
tion on Mr. Hofer or tho Gorman
American citizens in Salem, Lane
county or unywhoro elso, but wna
Intended as a compliment to him foi
being olected nn nlderman of tho
Cnpltal City without his knowlodgo
or consent. No "InBult" waf in
tended to tho German-Amorlcan cit
izens, nnd Mr. Hofor knows It. Wo
aro carrying around a Httlo Gorman
Amcrlcnn blood In our own system,
and wo havo an Idea "on tho quiet"
that thoy aro nmong tho best pcoplo
on enrthf and if thoy should olect us
nldormnn of Salem, without our
knowlcdgo or consent, wo would not
got hot under tho collar, even If our
contemporary should sny that tho
"Suucrkrairt Society" did it.
This wlrter has oxamlnod tho flics
of tho Salem papors and cannot And
that any Salem paper used tho of-'
fenslvo expressions, "Tho Snuor
kraut Socloty." Unless tho Cottago
Grove editor can tell from what
nowspnpor ho copied that expression,
ho must stand convlctod of having
invented it nnd used it himself. Not
oven tho Snlom Prohibition pnpor
ucscd that hcadllno or expression.
We do not bellove thoro Is n nows
papermnn in Snlom who would
wrlto thus disrespectfully about tho
German-Amorlcnns of this city. Tho
Snlom nowspnpor writers at prosont
aro all men who do not drink, nnd
cortnlnly no Bobor, nolf-rcspectlng
American citizen would try to Insult
tho nationality of'hlB nolghbora in
tho snmo community whoro ho ex
pects to mnko his living. Tho Cot
tago Grove editor should toll us
whoro ho copied tho hoadllno from
or stand convlctod oi tho offonslvo
