The story of the police ou the plains,
for the aext twenty-five years is one
of hardships bravely endured and (lila-
cultioe gloriously overcome. They had
firs,t of all to win the confidence ot tlie•
Indians. This they did. Treaties,

claims Id the land in exchange for the,
proinise of police protection against

and equaLjustice to all, plus an annua1
allowance of flour, blankets anti money
from. the Canadian government. ,
The next task was to enforce the
laws of the Dominio.n. Not only the
Indians,' but also the half-breed and
white settlers had to be impressed
with the fact that laws were made to
be obeyed,- and that the police were
here to .see ' that they were obeyed.
The officers soon 'saw that this could
be accomplished only by never failing
to panish crime. For in such a primi-
tive and sparsely Settled region failure
to capture and punish one crlininal.
would soon breed a contempt for all.

considered .a standing invitatiou to

others to take the law into their own

the police: "Get your man!", So welL
