Shall the people of Philadelphia be ruled by the underworld? Shall the habitues of the tender loin, tho red-light district, tho dopestors, thugs, highwaymen, gamblers and bootleggers control thin city? This question is now brought directly to tho attention of o'oty law-biding, home-owning, respect nblo mun and woman in Philadel phia. A bill introduced in the Legis lature and now boing rushed to early passage brings the question squarely before the people. This measure on tho face of it does not reveal its sinister motive, for it is in the shape of an amend ment to an existing law. It is by all odds the most dan gerous bill to the safety of Phila delphia that hns boen presented in the Legislature in twenty years. Its aim is to throttle the police power. By its enactment into law it would not only cripplo every force or police movement for the pro tection of the cltizon, but it would become nn instrument for graft nnd the prostitution of justice. Under existing law the Mayor, .the director of public safety or the superintendent of police has tho power to carry any case of ar rest on view or without warrant before any police magistrate in tho city. It is an admirable provision. It is only oxercised in cases where it is known or believed that a com mitting magistrate can be in fluenced by political pull to admit to straw bail, dismiss with inade quate fine or discharge any crimi nal who can be mnde useful to a corrupt politician oi political ring. The law has been based upon the experience of the best police officials in the past. It has kept the underworld in subjection and j ovented a mis carriage of justice. By the amend ment in question it is proposed to abrogate this law. It is now intended to compel the police, department to carry cases of arrest without warrant, as in raids on gamblers or disorderly houses, before a magistrate in the district in which the crime is com mitted. It is notorious that in certain districts in the city the police magistrates arc merely the tools of designing politicians. These men arc controlled not by a senflc of justice, but by the will of the bosses who elevated them to office. If tho mcasuto passes, tho elec tion of a magistrate in certain districts is of more importance to certain political elements than the election of c-ouncilmen.
