A long series Of unpublished crimes
IN the city of Spokane has culmi-
mated in a reign of terror. Thugs
and burglars stalk the streets with
impunity each night and laugh at the
childish efforts Of the police depart
ment. Holdups occur in the business
streets and in the outskirts of the
city by day as we'll az by night and
highway robbery conducts its impu-
dent business without the city limits.
The word has been passed along that
Spokane lis easy" and the ever alert
professional criminal is on his way
to the city, the common thug riding
the brakebeam and the more genteel
artist aboard the Pullman.
The city is in the hands Of Mayor
L. Frank Boyd. When he assembled
70 his present position he found
chief of police who chose to enforce
Saw. The mayor did not object to the
enforcement of some of the laws,
but others he had pledged his word
Of honor 60 would not be enforced.
He made this pledge to Jacob Goetz
break the word he had pledged to the
protection of vice he attempted to re-
move Chief Woydt. He succeeded in
this, but not until he was forced to
expose his hand-a hand which the
whole town saw clasped in the grip
of a grinning, scoffing criminal ele-
ment.
Charges Of Bribery.
Mayor l.. Frank Boyd declared
there was an emergency and assumed
control of the police department.
Knowing that the head of the depart
ment was hand and glove in league
with crime, many members of the
force followed the lead. The en-
Sorcement of law ceased to be the
work of the department. Wire-pull-
ing, politics and factional scheming
became the pastime of at least a
portion of the force which followed
the lead of the man who set the ex-
ample by making himself a criminal
when he had pledged himself to pro-
tect criminals. While this so-called
emergency has existed charges have
been MADE tndt members Oh the IOTCe
have accepted brides and these
charges have neither been denied nor
resented and the citizens have ex-
pressed no particular surprise that
ouch should be the case, for they
know Frank Boyd is mayor.
No element in any commonwealth
Is more alert TO public opinion than
the criminal element. They scan the
daily papers to learn whether public
officials are lax or vigilant.
Prosecutor Gives No Help.
Spokane they have found is con-
trolled by a man in league with crime,
Is governed by police force which
published charges say can be bribed,
by police force which is notorious
for its dissenslons and for the
hatred of one faction for another,
and they have seen the prosecuting
attorney of the county dismiss case
After case without attempting to Sc
cure convictions and have seen him
grossly negligent in all attempts to
bring charges against others whom

DEEP INTEREST IN
COUNTY ELECTION
THREE COMMISSIONERS TO BE
ELECTED THIS YEAR. 80
NJ. w. Nash of the Third, and Andrew
j. Smith of the Fifth, Candidates for
Re-eIectiOn-Fred Barney Says He
Wants to Retire-Some Opposition
to Smith.

The necessity Of choosing three
county commissioners for the coming
two years has aroused a great many of
the voters thruout the county to an
early interest in the selection of these
officers.
Andrew J. Smith of the fifth district,
M. w. Nash of the third district and
Fred E. Barney of the first, are ap-
preaching the close ofitheir terms. Mr..
Smith will certainly be a candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Nash can be relied
on to ask his friends to send him back
to the board, and with the exception of
Pearly Rhoades Of the eighth ward,
no one has been prominently men
toned as Mr.. Nash's possible oppo-
nent.
Fred Barney is in the position of a
man who says he doesn't want to hold
his job, but who is being asked to re-
main by his employers Mr. Barney
declared during the summer that he
was tired off office holding and that
he would not under any ordinary con-
ditions return to the board after his
term had expired. But his .constitu-
ents are not inclined to favor his re-
tirement. The shrewd politicians
figure that he is the strongest candi-
date the republicans can get. The
republican majority for a county COM
missioner from that district has never
been large, and with the rumor now
current that Alderman Peter Mccoy,
! boss Of the ninth, ward, is getting
ready to try for the county commits
sionership, the republicans feel that
they should have candidate behind
whom the second ward can stand SOL
idly, and who can also develop some
strength in the first and ninth wards.
If Mr.. Barney persists in his deter
mination to keep out of the race
Byron II. Timberlake will probably
become the republican candidate. but
| not otherwise.
It is in the fifth, or country dis.
trict, that the fight will be the liveli-
est, because Andrew J. Smith, the
present incumbent, is being hunted il

there is little chance Of his getting

The fight on Smith is being made
on the ground that he has shown
favoritism to his relatives in county
work, and some Of the districts think
he has Disseminated against them
in the matter Of improvements, but
Mr.. Smith says he can show that the
contracts were given his brother be-
cause the latter was the lowest bid
der, and County Surveyor Cooley will
say that the bridges built under these
contracts were most satisfactory.
While it is impossible to divide the
expenditures in road and other i'm
provements so as to please all dis
tricts, Mr.. Smith will be a hard man
to beat.
