An evening paper yesterday tried to
make political sensation about the re-
cent action of the board of charities and
correction. It seems that DR.. Wood
ward. a Republican member of the
board, was away when the appointment
OF Matt Gross was made and when the
discharged wOrkhOuse employees tried to
make trouble for him because they
were discharged. Just because Dr.
Woodward was absent he thinks
that he has cause 10 complain, as if the
business of the board or Of the city were
10 b. stopped because he chose to take
run out OF the city. The charge is
made that the board is being run as a
political machine. That charge is not
borne out by the facts. The work house
men were discharged because Mr.. Gross
thought that the workhOuse would be
better managed without them. That he
was right has been proved by the attempt
OF Ole of those discharged men to make
trouble for Assistant Superintendent
Whalen, man acknowledged to be the
best man in the management of a cor

nesota and several other states. The
workEouse guards were let go because
it was best to letthem go. and that is all
there is TO the matter. Even if
they were discharged because of
their politics. the board could find
plenty Of precedent for acting
in that manner. These men who were
discharged were all exceedingly active
during the campaign of last fall In the
estimate of rigbt-thinking people. en-
ployes of city, when their positions
are appolntive and supposedly non-par-
tisan, should know better than to take
the active part in the politics of one
ward or one legislative district that

the last campaign. They were not dis
charged because of their politics. out if
they had been no wrong would have
been done, in the opinion of calm, SOBER
thinkers.
