The Rev John A. Wade. who was de.
posed as police chaplain because he
charged Waldo with favoritism toward
Catholic chaplains. declared in sermon
delivered at the Protestant Episcopal
Church of st John the Evangelist, Wav-
crlcy Place and West llth street, ycster-
day morning that it was an honor for any
New York clergyman TO be upon Mayor
Gaynor' s, blacklist
In speaking Of the Mayors recent veto
Of the Folks moving picture ordinance he
said:
It is well known that Mayor Gaynor is
neither an example nor an authority upon
morals A'moving picture ordinance that
is constitutional enough for score OF
cities in this country. even though II be
not in accord with his moral constitution.
ought TO be passed over his veto az the
bchcst Of the moral force Of New York.
I'm view Of the moral miasma emdnating
from the city Hall. the time has come
when the decent people of the city ought
10 take the government into their own
hands.
Mayor Gaynor has seen fit to put half
a dozen clergymcn on his blacklist. That
blacklist is a roll OF honor Such men
as Or Parlhurst. Rabbi Wise and canon
Chase are civic assets. while Mayor Gay
nor himself is civic shame.
In an interview after the church SER
vice Mr. Wade declared that the real
system" that demoralized the Police
Department was that inaugurated by
Commissioner Waldo when ne appointed
thirty-sevcn men who had been rejected
by former commissioners. Then he
ADDED:
The moral effect of this stupid act has
been more harmful 10 the force tnah the
murder OF EoscuthaL Decent policemen
have told me that men and women WHO
before that time had treated them win
consideration now look upon them as
members of the COt,rlc appointed 10y

could get another job Immediately they
would get out Of the department
