UP TO CHAIRMAN LUTHER.

The circumstances attending the recent
appointment of two men intimately associated with
the Hessians TO places in the police department,
make it plain that in spite of the watchfulness OF
Chairman Luther political pull is being successfully
exerted upon some one who has the power to make
good the promises given as bribes for support OF
traitors to the Democracy.
1t is the plain duty OF Chairman Luther to
ascertain who il is that has this pull and upon what
colleagues or subordnates in his department it is
being exercised. The public does not believe Chair
man Luther is party to any such chicane, but it
is convinced the department is being used to make
good political bribes, and it looks to him to probe
the matter until the rascaty and the rascals are
fully exposed.
No statement that the appointment of these
Hessans at a time when promises of places in the
police department are being made by Braytonism S
purchased traitors is mere coincidence will be
accepted The proof that pull is potent is convinc
ing and cannot be ignored, evaded or brushed aside
The decent citizenship wants to know and has
a right to know, who has the pull and upon whom it
is exerted, and they look to Chairman Luther to
obtain the information and make it public without
delay
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-25


For another equally important exercise of his
authority as chairman of the police commission
the decent citizenship looks to Mr.. Luther at this
time. 1t expects him to that protection is
given honest Democrats at the coming caucuses in
the exercise of their rights as American freemen.
1t looks to him to put officers duty at the
several primaries who will uphold the law, instead
of as in previous years assisting in its outrageous
and fragrant violation
The petition presented to the commission yes.
terday represents the sentiment of the decent
Democracy of the city of Providence and it is ore
that cannot be ignored or refused without bringing
upon the commission the condemnation OF all right
thinking citizens.
Very properly the petition asks that the com
mission itself select for service at the caucuses
and instruct them in their duties. The purpose Of
this request is obvious it is reasonable in the
light of the previous disgracefu misuse and abuse
of police power in the interest OF as desperate a
gang of pirates as every attempted to scuttle
a political party.
chief of police convicted of attempted co,.-
spiracy to ruin the reputation of clergyman, u
man who holds his place by the favor of corrupt
Braytonism, man notoriously partisan and polit-
cally prejudiced, should not be entrusted with the
selection of policemen to protect honest members
of opposing party in the exercise of their rights
in the primaries.
1t was under this dscredited chief that police.
men were sent to the primaries in the First, Third
and Ninth wards year ago, at which ballot box
stuffing and repeating open and shameless
and at which hundreds of honest voters were pre-
vented from depositing their ballots because of the
scandalous aid and assistance given by the police
TO the Swiss mercenares in their efforts to prevent
full and fair expression of the will of the Derio-
cratic electors.
1t was under this convicted chief police detail
was sent to Arcanum hall less than twevemonth
ago, that refused to clear the hall of thugs and
toughs at the request OF the chairman of the retiring
Democratic city committee, and by so doing made it
possible for the Hessians TO fasten that wretched
political manikin O'Neill upon the new city com
mittee as its chairman
All the decent Democracy asks is that the law
be upheld at the primaries, and il wants detail OF
real men from the police department to see that this
Is done. 1t does not repetition of last years
Infamous doings, when the police became the active
allies of purchased traitors in defying the law and
in wantonly robbing reputable citizens OF their
rights.
There is hope and confidence that Chairman
Luther will in both these matters OF vital public
concern do his duty fairly and courageously tic
has never revealed himself as partisan he has no
alliances with Braytonism nor entangements with
the Hessians in Braytonismo pay.
He has heretofore shown honesty OF pur-
pose and fearlessness in the discharge OF his
public functions that give ground for the belief
that he will not finch at exposing the political

Terrible Destitution Of Reading
mIy--Their I'orse Starves TO
TO Death.
A shocking story Of restitution
comes from Reading, near the
Bridgewater line, where family of
six, Thomas Barrett, his wife and
four children, are living in single
room shack, half protected from the
cold, half clothed and suffering from
hunger.
The story came here through a re-
port to the local humane agent, DR..
f. r. Jewett, that Barretts horse
was slowly starving to death, and
at DR.. Jewett's request Constable A.
H. Piuney of Bridgewater went to
the place, three or four miles from
Bridgewuter village, which is reached
through Curtis hollow. This was
three or four weeks ago. He found
the old horse in a pitiable condition,
mostly skin and bones, and endeav-
oring to eat the contents of an old
bedtick which had been emptied into
his manger Barrett, however, had
about 20 pounds of grain which he
said he was going to give the horse,
but it is suspected that the grain
was used on the family table.
The children, two boys and two
girls, the oldest about 10 years OF
age, were barefooted, thinly clad, and
the whole family appeared weak from
hunger,
Some days later, Jan. IA, Consta-
bic Pinney heard that the horse had
fallen from starvation, and ON going
to Barrett's again found him skin
ming the horse, which had died that
day. Transfers who pass the place
now bring word that the family has
been living on horse meat and that
the carcass still lies in the makeshift
