PLAYED IN this detestable matter.
SO We sent a special representa-
tive TO jefferson City TO see you
and to offer you the columns OF
this paper so that you could tell
your side of the ease, fully beliey-
ING that You would repudiate the
men and the influences that in
volyed you personally in thes, ur
speakable scandals, hoping that
sou had been misled; had been
deceived by your political pIoin-
rees here, and the minute you dis
covered their treachery you
would repudiate the whole thing.
1t takes a big man to do this, Gov
ernor Hadley, but somehow we
had thought or hoped that you
were big enough to do it, but You
weren't.
You. Marks and Whitsett play
cd as partners in the game a
gainst the friendleSS convict,
Cruye, and it didn't matter in
the slightest to any of you that
the character and reputation of a
defenseleSS woman was involved.
You didn't hesitate to play with
larked cards and with a stacked
leck and, in your heart now we
snow that you are thoroughly al
named of the part you have
taken, hat your conscience whips
you every minute for going into
this deal, but you are too small a
man to come out in public and
say, Il will have no more Of this
kind of dealings. l am Governor
of the great state of Missouri,
and | will not play the part of a
little, cheap, dirty politician"
But, Governor Hadley, you are
not big enough to say this and
then do it. 1t is hard enough to
keep a police department honest
and decent with the very best ex-
ample set before them by those
who are over them and who ereata
them, but the minute they know
that the ones above are qaeap
tricksters, your whole police de.
partment becomes an absolutely
inefficient, worthless, dishonest
machine, and that is the trouble
with Kansas City today. That il

Women are assaulted, men are
held up, burglaries and theft oc
eur daily and nightly. The thieve
are unafraid because they know
; that your police department her,
is not on the square, that its eff

fellows at the top, and when yol

the slightest idea of condition

1t seems that, under the pres
ent police machine and the in
fluence that control it, every neg
70 who is a criminal thinks h
has a license to rob, hold up an
assault without the slightest fea
of the department.
Don't forget, Governor Hadley
that your best friend is not tn
