JUST PUNISHMENT FOR THE SHAMEFUL
OFFENCE OF WHICH HE WAS PRO-
NOUNCED GUILTY ON TUESDAY LAST.
This is the deep-rooted and unchangeable con-
viction of the thoughtful citizens of Providence,
and it has been forced upon them by unwholesome
developments in the police department, and by the
sinister contrast and glaring inconsistency between
the penalty imposed upon the late Captain Parker
and that just visited upon Chief Matthews
1t was Matthews who preferred the charges
against Captain Parker, and they included absence
from the city without leave failure to keep proper
records and disrespectful statements concerning
the accuser
The first two passed over by the commits
sion as of not very serious moment; but upon the
third, that of speaking dsrespectfully of his supe
ror officer, Captain Parker was convicted and re-
duced to the ranks.
In rendering its verdict the commission said !:
THE BOARD is NOT UNMINDFUL OF THE
EXTENDED AND FAITHFUL SERVICE
WHICH CAPTAIN PARKER HAS GIVEN TO
THE CITY OF PROVIDENCE, AND THAT
FACT HAS BEEN GIVEN WEIGHTIEST AND
FULLEST CONSIDERATION. WHILE
FAITHFUL ERFORMANCE OF DUTY
SHOULD RECEIVE CONTAMINATION, 1T is
NOT A PALLIATION OF AN OFFENCE OF
THIS CHARACTER, AND WILL NOT BE so
CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD"
IN THE CASE OF CAPTAIN PARKER
found guilty of speaking dsrespectfuy of his
superior officer, an unblemished record of nearly
thirty years of FAITHFUL AND EFFICIENT
SERVICE COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED BY
THE BOARD AS PALLIATING HIS OF
FENCE, SO he was stripped of his vank
IN THE CASE OF CHIEF MATTHEW'S
found guilty OF eenspiring to nure the reputation
and standing in the community of a respected and
reputable clergyman, co-worker with him in the
suppression of vice and lawlessness, THE BOARD
DID CONSIDER AS PALLIATING HIS OF
FENCE HIS TWENTY FIVE YEARS SERV-
ICE WITHOUT PREVIOUS COMPLAINT
AGAINST HIM. So Matthews was permitted to
remain at the head of the police department. under
going no other punishment than that of reading the
commissions verdict if he fit to do so.
No fair-Ininded man will deny the GREATER
GRAVITY OF MATTHEW'S OFFENCE. nor
Will 1t be contended that Captain Parker's record
and service did not enttle him 10 an equal if not
larger degree of clemency than that extended to

ends and who have dominated it since it came into
being.
Partisan politics, not right and justice, they
are convinced, was the potent influence that in

rank and that saved Matthews from the only PEN.
