DO YOU REMEMBER "OLD SWIMMIN' HOLE?"
Spokane's "old swimmin' hole"i slocated just south of the Inland
Empire bridge across the Spokane river. Here almost every after
noon during the past week could have been seen a score or two of
newsboys, drowning the heat of the day in the cool waters of the
river. There is a nice beach in the river at this point with a grad
ually increasing depth, in which the timid can be guarded as to the
danger. A pier erected by the Traction company extends into the
water and from this boys dive and have all sorts of sport.
One of the most pleasing sights to be witnessed in the city on a
hot afternoon is the piunging of the youngsters into the cool waters
at the railroad bridge.

THE PEOPLE, AND NOT
POLICE, MUST RULE
Did you know that with the exception of Spokane and
San Francisco, nearly every big City in this little old
country of ours has, within the past year or two. "sat
down hard" on their respective police departments, and
made them understand that THE PEOPLE, AND NOT
TIIK POLICE, ABE TIIK RULEIfc OF THE CITY?
This is a fact.
In some cities the mayor has taken the action, and in
others either the council or the citizens at large, through
a general movement.
j Mayor Gaynor in New York and the mayor of Butte,
i Mont., are two of the latest executives to take up the work
of police reform, ami they are making their police depart
ments understand that they are employed to Serve the
people and not tyrannize over them.
Spokane, so fay, has done nothing, while suffering under
one of the rottenest police systems in the nation. The
Press has been the only opponent the police have had to
meet steadily during the past months. 'Wie people know
what The Press has accomplished. It has exposed cor
ruption, evil doings and inefficiency, forced removal of
I "undesirable" officers and compelled action against
! crime.
But there is much more to do. A<'tiua; Chief Sullivan
must be removed, an able chief must l>o chosen, and the
whole department reorganized.
It is time for all the forces of good government to act.
Labor and other organizations are strong enough to de
feat the ring of politicians who insist on retaining Sulli
van, but they must act unitedly.
Mayor Pratt, as he refused to remove City Engineer
Ralston, refuses to remove Sullivan. The people must
force such a result, as they have done before.
