PROTEST AGAINST
POLICE lNERTNESS

Editor Advertiser: Would you kind
ly allow me small space in your
most valuable paper to express myself
in regard to the utter disrespeet which
is paid to the law in this the Fifth
District? At 80 a. m. Sunday l was
woke up from sound sleep by ter
rible racket out in the street Thought
it was baseball game), caused by a
gang of boys ranging anywhere from
II years or less up to IL or Is years of
age in "a most beastly state of in
toxication, and using the most vile and
disgusting language found in any of
the slums in any other part OF the
world Give Points WASH It in IT'D and
tomorrow, if they are in a fit state,
will be occupying seat in the gov
eminent schools and telling the other
children what grand time they had
Saturday night and Sunday morning
without any interference from the
police. 1t is in this way they termln-
ate their vacation, and it is this We
have come to through the gross neg
igence and inefficiency of our police
force under the tutelage of A. NJ.
Brown, who has held the position of
marshal and sheriff for the last II
years. Is this the man with the ma
chine that the respectable citizens and
voters are obliged to swallow God
forbid.
[ have been a resident of this coun-
ty for the last fifteen years from ka-
mehameha III. up to the present time,
and in all my experience during that
time never have I seen a more corrupt
and rotten police department machine.
Happened | picked up local news
paper a day or two since in which the
portrait of A. NJ. Brown was conspicu-
Gus in connection with the dog show
in which he exhibited couple of ter
riers, which were admired very much,
but if he had taken a few of the ter
riers he has around the station house
and exhibited them, what show would
YOU suppose the rest would have while
they were arounda / viii name them
81 Brown s machine terriers and you
bet that is just what they are and
nothing else.
1 personally have nothing against
Brown. If his actions were equal to
his manly form and good looks. what
perfect official he would be and we
certainly would put up with him for
couple of years more. L think he
has been there long enough. Fire him
out. He would look and act great
deal better on a sheep ranch where he
could take all his terriers along and
give them work where they would
earn from his accumulated pile and
would not be an expense to the tax
payers hereafter.
To my fellow citizens, taxpayers and
voters, / have been a staunch Repub-
lican, am now and will be as long as
/ live. l have never yet bolted the
ticket where good people
are nominated (expect once on last
election when / voted for Trent. What
have you to say against him' He IS
the best man the Republican party
helped to elect). And if it can be
done in one case why can not 1t be
done in another9
1t is time we came to our senses and
looked the situation square in the face.
1t is machine politics and ruin to the
Hawaiian race and people connected |
Herewith, or we are going to show
by our votes that we stand for good |
government and viii stay by one an |
other to the last ditch. Don't vote |
for any yellow dog, or brown one either,
which may be put up at the next con-
vention. If the machine has got any |
strlng on you cut adrft ana come III
with US, the independent Republican
voters who can be depended upon 10
vote for the best man and honest gov
l appeal to every lady and honest |
man to remember that drunken crowd
Of boys and put man at the head
IF the police who viii try, and who
,an, put stop to such young men
and women (boys and girls becoming
lrunkards
Thanks for the space.
A VOTER. !
