VIDA AND
LESLIE OUT
Their Commissions are
Revoked by High
Sheriff Henry.

The insubordinate police officers were
taken strongly in hand by High Sher-
iff Henry yesterday. and the commits
sions of Deputy Sheriff Henry Vida
Samuel Leslie wera revoked. 1t was
one of the wisest things Henry has
done since he went into office Neither
of these men was fit for a
place on the police force. Henry
Vida, in fact, was notoriously unfit.
And in the present political campaign,
wearing his uniform, he has made pub
lie proclamation from the soap box
stand at the corner of King and
Bethel streets of his defiance of the
man who is his superior in office. More
than that, he has publicly reviled and
abused the head of the Territorial
government and of the Republican
party in the Territory, Governor Carter
himself.
1t was not for the weight anything
he could say might have that Vida
was thrown out of the police depart
ment. Vida might shout bad English
abuse of Governor Carter and High
Sheriff Henry until he was black in the
face. Indeed, he probably will con-
tinue to do that. But, as was remark
ed by a number of leading citizens,
who will believe Henry Vida?''
1t is an unfortunate repute for a
politician, but there you are. But
Henry Vida, in the uniform and wear
ing the star of a member of the police
force. abusing his chief in loud and
strenuous tones, was not a spectacle
calculated to promote discipline in the
police force. And, very properly. the
High Sheriff revoked his commission.
Vida has brought his fate upon him
self. The decent people of this COM
munity can be relied upon to see that
he continues to stink in that dark
obscurity where such crawling things
belong.
Leslie. too, has been notOriously in
subordinate. He engaged in a brawl in
the police station itself the other day,
over politics, and he has been doing pol
tiles in his uniform ever since He will
have a chance now to do politics in
plain clothes And the law-abiding
people of the community will see to it
that he has chance to walk in the
obscurity of private life hereafter.
The public service is bettered by the
removal of such men as Vida and
Leslie from it.

and the show is free.
All the candidates spoke, and all the
spouters who are talking for the
straight ticket" They have not many
more chances to be heard, and none of
them had spoken to so large an audi
ence in this campaign. 1t did not
make bit of difference that large
part of the crowd was non-voters, and
another large part hostile voters. The
crowd was there, the lights were
there, and it was Saturday night and

of an island vaudeville circuit, Jim
