THE RACE CUSTODIAN OF LAW
A sure way for a Race man to lose frieuids is by accepting a
position on the police force and seeing to it that the law is respected
by his fellowmen. Strange, but true, many imagine an officer,
sworn in to protect the law, should excuse misdemeanor on the
part of his own people because he belongs to the same race as
themselves. If an arrest is made by an officer of the other group,
it is perfectly alright. But if under identical circumstances a Race
officer should make the same arrest, he is accused of “picking” at
his own people.
What are the duties of an officer if they are not to arrest vio
lators of the law ? What respect have men for an officer, regard
less of Race, if he does not live up to the requirements of a man
who upholds the statutes? Unless arrests are made when neces-
sary the officer is accused of being inefficient. When arrests are
made he is said to be “picking” at some one.
We have on the city force one of the most efficient men in the
Department of Public Safety. Because, recently, he found it neces
sary to make various arrests to aid in cleaning up the vice situa
tion, a committee of supposedly law-abiding citizens sought his
removal from the police force. Their chief reason, truthfully, was
that he arrested men of his own race.
There is no condition so lamentable as narrow-mindedness,
the outgrowth of ignorance. Our officers must make arrests of the
criminal element of our group at such times and at such places as
duty shall make it necessary. We cannot judiciously expect a
Negro felon to go free because it is not the duty of an officer of his
Race to place him under arrest. We cannot hope that crime may
be sheltered just because it is committed in a Race neighborhood
patrolled by a Race officer.
It is our sincere desire that the underworld character may not
find a rendezvous in this city. We will bitterly censure our offi
cers if they do not co-operate with the department of which they
are members to bring the undesirable element~t<T*justicer"*lf it
is the case that crime should be permitted to exist unmitigated,
then what is the purpose of law? Shall citizens of the better class
be made to suffer embarrassment on account of malicious and
flagrant violation of law on the part of a few ? Whence comes the
theory that this should not concern our Race officers who are bet
ter able to ferret out these cesspools of vice than officers of the
other group? There is no consistent citizen who would not uphold
any officer for doing his duty. Those who tacitly oppose law and
order are those who interefere with the efficient work of an officer.
If there are those who are incensed over being placed in custody
by an officer of their race, let them ask if their acitvities are
every reason why to promote the welfare of the community at
large, the criminal-minded be incarcerated to the extent that his
loss of freedom will prove a civic advantage.
If we had no officers we would bewail the fact of non-recogni
tion ; when we have them they do not just suit some of our fancies.
If a Race officer fails to do his sworn duty the Department of Pub
lic Safety asks for his resignation. If he is efficient, some cowardly
mortals of his own seeks to have him discharged. No peaceful
and law-abiding citizen is “hampered” by the law; it is the civic
liability who find it difficult to earn an honest living that offers
contention (and sometimes secures outside sympathy) for i)eing
placed under arrest.
The officer whose discharge was sought would be a worthy
asset to any city. We are proud of his record and wish him more
success. To the individuals who so generously offered their serv
ices to get him off the force, we will say—if you can’t boost a good
man, for humanity’s sake don’t knock him.

the number of phone calls, letters and
telegrams received by WLAG in be
half of the Choral choir the listeners

veniently located. Easter Sunday

response from the public far exceed
ing the expectations, and they are
now fully prepared to serve both
Chinese and American dishes.
