MORE LIGHT NEEDED.
most desirable hiding places in the eyes of those who visit the park for particular and objection-
able purposes.
If Hyde Park were so lighted there would be no need for an army of policemen, and those now engaged on nightly patrol could be more worthily employed in detecting real crime. It is by now fairly well established that a policeman's uncorroborated word | is not sufficient to secure the con- viction of a person accused of misbehaviour in the park, and this means that our guardians of the law and morals at Home will have to walk their beats in pairs, thus increasing the public cost of this unsatisfactory surveillance With the objection to plain clothes policemen for this kind of work we are not at the moment con- cerned. The objection is a real one, as are, however, a number of objections to police methods the world over. Up-to-date light ing arrangements would remove all these objections, would remove the police themselves and would remove that "supply" about which we have written.
