In the absence of specltic la'w (-n the imbject the cuatoin which has p.-cv; li¬ ed in other years ought ilow to obtain.
Tbe discipline and day by d y e.fi- ciency of the unffomied force is a matter of first concern of the chUf of police. Authtfrity goes band in iiand Aith responsibility. Either w'thout the other would be a manifest iucon- :^istency.
As the governing body of the village is organized, the Village Presld-mt, ex¬ orcising triple functions with respect to police matters, ought to be given a free hand and be held to sti'ct ac¬ countability, or the entire ecneme ought fo be revised by and with the consent of the voters of the vt.ir.ge.
The people of Freeport do not care aiuch who handles the police question so lon« as they are assured of sub¬ stantial service and reasonable pro¬ tection.
Honc-.t differences of opinions in the village board with regard to apnolnt- ments and policies are healthy mani¬ festations of a lively interest in public affairs.

In a pancake eating contest recent¬ ly decided, the winner retired w;ih a grand total to nis record of thirty- three cakes. Numbers with pancakes are not so impressive as size. Many men and growing boys would no*, hes¬ itate to engage thirty-three s' lall or even medlum-slz'd pancakes at a sit¬ ting.
The pancake champion is in many homes. We know of one who. In his day, was competent to enter the li.sts j wKh a handicap and still win out. But why boast?
It waj no doubt an oversight which made the editor of the South Side Sig¬ nal credit an eldiorial note taken from the Post to the wisdom of the i~>wi.
