AS TO THE POLICE SCANDAL

The proposed investigation OF two
members OF the city. police force.
against whom very serious charges are
brought. has been dropped. apparently
through the connivance OF the officials
against whom the charges were made
and the author of the charges.
II is interesting 10 note. however.
that the accused men have failed TO
seek v~indication. Instead OF endeav-
oring 10 clear their skirts they have
apparently been most anxious TO
smother the accusations. The whole
AFFAIR is a frame up pure and simple.
and the withdrawal OF the charges un.
der the circumstances will do more
than anything else to convince the
public that an investigation should
have been had.
There is one body in this city that
can conduct this investigation. and
can conduct it with authority. That
body is the Board OF Control. II has
the power 20 require the Chief OF Pc.
lice himself 10 appear before IL. and
It has the power 10 force the Chief OF
Police 10 produce witnesses and 20
70 the bottom OF this matter. The
board will not be doing its duty un.
less II does this very thing. Either
these men were guilty and ought "a

they are innocent. II they are limo

guilty the public wants 10 know The

THE ATTACK ON THE STATE

The followers OF the Turf Exchange
In council seem to have taken refuge
behind the State Fair Association.
There is no Just comparison between
the Turf Exchange and the State Fair
Association. The gambling done on
the State Fair grounds bears about the
same relation TO the gambling at the
Turf Exchange as a quiet game OF
penny ante among friends does TO the
professional gambling DOM. The men
who come TO the State Fair from all
over West Virginia n Eastern Ohio.
and who occasionally risk a FIVE or ten
dollar bill on a horse race. find their
interest in and zest in a holiday In.
creased thereby. II gambling in itself
is ever excusable. Il Is on such an oc.
