The circumstance that the Police [[Royal Commission-followup|Commission]] has terminated its labours bespeaks a lenient consideration for its last report. It is a great thing to close the erratic career of the body in question, for now the work of reform in the department can be practically undertaken. The main objection to the Commission was that it blocked the way with its interminable proceedings and its petty displays of personal feeling, but at last Ministers can read the evidence, can consult with the police officers, and can act-and action has been far too long delayed.
