AMEND THE LAW.

ne serious concern manifested throughout
the community over the selection of police COM
MISSIONER to fill the coming vacancy on the board
ought to impe the Providence delegation in the
next general assembly 10 make every possible effort
TO secure an amendment of the police commission
law that will confer the appointing power on the
mayor absolutely
If this power attached TO the executive
office, Mayor-elect Mccarthy would not be con-
fronted by such grave problem he is at present
and citizens generally would have the assurance
not only that the Democracy, which is the domi-
nant party in this municipality, would be given the
representation the police commission to which
by right it is entitled but that the Democrat chosen
would be capable and courageous and would aid in
continuing the present efficient and non-partsan
administration of police affairs.
The original police commission law was
wanton outrage against the people Of Providence.
1t robbed them of the right of sef-government for
the sinister purpose of making the police depart
ment subservent to the boss and an adjunct to his
mischievous machine.
Little less scandaous was the amendment to
that law bywhich the boss sought to still the pro-
tests of the people against the indefensbe spolia-
ton to which they had been subjected, while at the
same time endeavoring TO render the police admin
istration subservent to his will.
The conferring OF conirnatory power on the
board of aldermen had no other purpose than the
mischevous of plunging the police department
into politics, making it the instrument of the boss
in the exercise of his l-gotten power, and barring
the dominant Democracy from representation
upon it.
There have been many evidences OF late that it
is the intention of the aldermen to pay politics
with the power that supine legislature conferred
upon them at the bidding of the boss Not only
are they aligned against any Democrat however
competent and impartial, the mayor may appoint,
but they are preparing to elect creature of the
boss, whose membership the board will newt
ably result in reversal of the present policy of
fearless and impartial enforcement of the laws and
in return TO those scandalous conditions that
brought shame to decent citizens few years ago
AS the News Democrat has several times re-
marked the people have full confidence that Mayor
elect Mccarthy will acqut himself of the heavy re-
sponsibty that devolves upon him in a manner
that he believes will best conserve the interests Of
the city and the citizens, but that should not lead
to neglect to act on the part OF the Providence
delegation in the general assembly.
united and militant effort should be made to
amend the law so that the mayor will have unre.
strcted power to make appointments to the police
commission
AS the chosen representative of the people he
will be responsible to the people for the character
and capability of the men he selects. In no other
way can the police department be kept free from
demorazing political influences and out OF the
clutches of designing and discredited boss.

MAKE ELECTIONS

Voting machine Inaccuracies prevented
the state board OF canvassers from OIL
cially declaring the vote OF the state tues
day. This puts the contention that voting
machines are infallible and cannot go
wrong where II belongs-in the lie class.
There are other objections To the ma
chimes They discourage independent vot-
ing. They prevent a secret 5allot They
dsfranchse many The revelation that
the machines are not reliable, though, is
tho last straw.
only one advantage can now be claimed
for the machine-they make the returns
known quickly. IL quick returns are the
only object OF elections let's keep the ma
chimes They give quick returns. but they
make OF the ballot n farce. Why vote at
all II you have no assurance that your
vote is registered as you wish t?-Long

WAY THEY BEGIN.

JEFF Davis OF Arkansas says he Is going
to astonlsh the senate. shake it up. and
startle the nation. That is the way SEN
ators-eleot begin. They usually end by
becoming quite docile. feeding from the
vice presidents hand. and purring con-
tentedly over committee assignments. The
senate Is always capable OF astonishing

BY publishing in advance of the time expressly
agreed upon by representatives of all the local
newspapers, the names OF the gentlemen who are
TO constitute Governor-elect Higgins staff, and the
name of the gentleman chosen as his executive
retary. the Providence Journal committed aston
ishing and unprecedented breach of good faith. 1t
cannot excuse itself for this amazing disregard of
newspaper honor by the plea that another publica-
ton from which nothing different was to be expect
ed. had previously broken faith by disclosing the
names under 1imSy preteNt that they were in cir
culation as street rumors. The Journals failure to
honor the pledge made in its behalf intentional
and deliberate and therefore all the more inexcus-
able ON that account This instance of broken faith
is especially surprising inasmuch heretofore it
has been the Journals invariabe policy TO scrupu-
lousy redeem every promise made in its name.
