MISS IRMA ERWIN, FARGO PO
LICE MATRON, AUTHOR OF AR
TICLE ON WHY WOMEN POLICE?
PUBLISHED IN OCTOBER NUM
BER OF THE BUTTERFLY.
In a recent issue of The Butterfly,
a magazine published "in the interests
of humanity" by The Butterfly Asso
ciation of Chicago, there appears an
article by Miss Irma Erwln, Fargo's
police woman,' on the subject. Why.
Women Police? This is a subject
•w hich is engagihg* the minds of a
great many people at the present
time, and in the following article Miss
Erwln sets forth the reasons why she
considers women police a necessary?
factor of the police organizations of
every city. The article runs:
Those who have thought about this
new place for women in the law-en
forcing body of the city all give about
the same reasons for the need of wom
police. The forward looking citi
zen 4n every city hopes to raise the
standard and the status of the police
force to which ho must look for pro
tection of. his person, his property,
and his community morality. Women
would surely have some influence on
the elevation of this standard, and in
protection they have a definite share.
It is generally conceded that women
should be given power over that part
of a city's life which has to do espe
cially with its youth—the city's great-
Asset
There are women who are doing
much in Juvenile work now as* truant
officers, probation officers, investigat
ors, and in many other places con
nected with courts and institutions.
But why should not women like these
te used by the city rather than by
private organizations, and be given
police power? If they are trained for
the work and given the necessary au
thority, they can surely deal all the
more successfully with situations
which need this added power. There
should be women police in places of
public amusement to protect the boys
4ind girls who throng there. When we
fully realize that the big majority of.
this endless throng get their only
Ideas of social enjoyment from these
public amusement centers, it behooves
us to make these places as desirable
as possible. They surely must not
be 'places where modesty Is outraged
and moral tendencies blunted and
deadened.
There is the evil work of the white
plave trader to watch In all places
where youth congregates. But there
is also the necessity for raising thq
moral tone and atmosphere so that it
will be hard for this monster to pljt
his trade. Good women, using police!
power when necessary for decisive
action or for protection, can do mucbt
in changing habits of familiarity and!
immodesty to f'hose of formality and
decency, whether it be in the parks,
dance halls, theatres, or on the
ptreets. Girls, as a rule, want to be
decent, and prefer to be modest, but
their bolder associates, and many
evil-minded adults have established
their rude social code for them. They

so they are powerless to escape the
flagrant or hidden indecencies whicft
present themselves. We all agree that
nothing can take the place of good
home training, but since many are
lacking this, it is the business of so- I
ciety to offer the best possible subsu- I
tute. And surely a city is called toi
answer every day for its negligenct*
in the protection of youth ana the
adequacy of the substitute.
Boys and girls unmothered by their
mothers must have someone who will
supply that need This someone musn
inspire and hold confidence, and be
one on whose sincerity they can fear
lessly rely. These public chaperones
have the double duty of protecting
youth from itself as well as from its
environment. They must elevate
ideals of amusement by demanding
sobriety, self-control in speech and,
action, and a certain minimum, at
least, of formality. To accomplish
this task of protection and elevation,
they must have the power of person
ality backed by the indisputable pow
er of a police officer. We all need di
rection, and the women can help.
"Within, around, above, below.
The primal forces burn and brood,
Awaiting wisdom's guidance, lo!
All their material is good
Evil subsists in their abuse
Good, in their wise and lawful use,"
It seems that above all else we need
women police to bring together the
two ends of society. Perhaps, in some
cities, the intelligence of the police
force is not so high as it might be,
but a correction of that alone would
not bring about the desired end. We
certainly" need, also, a better under
standing of the needs of both ends of
the social order, in our citizenship
body. Women must understand all
womankind and its needs, or who
will? Until women learn to stand to
gether, to work together, and to con
quer the antipathy between those of a,
protected social circle and those out
side, there will continue to exist th$
double standard of morality and the
social evil and the exploitation of
youth.
If there be any truth in the state-i
ment of one of life's unfortunates,
that "men send women, to the bad,
but women keep them there", let u^
by all means put women, good worn-?
en, in the courts, on the police force,
and in public places where they will
learn the conditions under which thein
weaker sisters struggle. Then when
they have learned they will help thoto
proclaim who have long been pro
claiming the gospel of "live and let)
live" to all who are yet in darknessl
If women have a higher moral na,
ture, let them prove it and use it for
the benefit of the whole social order.
Then perhaps some day we will have
not policemen and policewomen, but*
peace men and peace women who
have risen to the dignity of trusted)
and beloved public guardiana.
