repeater" / am going to once
more and possibly, not for the
last time, call the attention of
the many new readers of this
paper to the pitiful spectacle
of our chief of police, Frank
Brunskill, rushing to the de-
tense of the Barnett-Morgan-
Bevans gang of blackmailers,
gamblers and gunner and his
senile attempts to stifle any ex-
pose Of these rascals or their
Vaccinations in this city.
The Saturday Press is not
displayed on curb news stands
despite the clamorous demand
of the public for it. It is on sale
on but few inside news stands
and those who do handle it are
compelled, because we are af-
flicted with a police chief who
prefers gangsters, gamblers
and gunner as associates rath-
er than respectable citizens, to
sell it surreptitiously-" boot

stock up with.
The Saturday Press never at
tackled the police department
nor the irrascible chief until
that worthy issued an edict,

in spite of Chief frankie, to
protest the surrender of this
city to gangs of armed killers
and thugs. Because the Satur-

damnable ulcers ON our social
body, Frank Brunskill declares
this publication cannot be sold

declaration of war against this
paper, he utilizes UNLAW-
FULLY, the police force of
Minneapolis by ordering uni
formed officers to see that no

the Saturday Press for sale. A
lovely situation!

prosecutors? that they permit
this blatant burro Brunskill to
prostitute his high office?
His arbitrary suppression of
this paper upon it's first attack
on the vices KNOWN TO Elk
IST, is or should constitute
prima facie evidence of guilty
knowledge on the part of Chief
Brunskill THAT THESE LILLE
GAL INSTITUTIONS AND
PLACES EXISTED.
He made no effort to ascer-
tain the facts in the case the
Saturday Press presented to
the TAXPAYERS! He offered
no assistance in eradicating
these conditions long known
but first exposed in these col
umns. Instead he FLOUTS
THE LAW HE HAS SWORN
TO UPHOLD and attempts to
suppress the only paper in the
city that dared defy gangland
and he made his first move
against us THE DAY FOL-
LOWING THE GANGS AT

Is it possible that our law
enforcement machinery has
reached that level where pri-
vate citizen must come cring-
ing at the feet of Justice and
BEG that a police chief,
SWORN TO UPHOLD THE
LAW, BE FORCED TO RE-
SPECT HIS OATH? If so,
then I presume we shall be
forced to appeal to the courts
and ask the judiciary to COM
pei the chief of police of Min
neapolis TO OBEY THE LAW!
That's all we ask of Chief
Frank Brunskill-simply that
he OBEY THE LAW HIMSELF.
and permit his officers to do
likewise.
When the Ku Klux Khan
made it's savage attack against
former Chief C. A. Jensen, l
defied the Khan and took up
the cudgels in defense of then
Chief Jensen and | did it in the
face of threats as intense and
bitter as any uttered by the
scavengers gathered under
Nose Barnett's black flag, so
cannot well be accused, even
by the present administration,
of being "agin" AN HONEST
CHIEF OF POLICE and C. A.

And when that fight against

zen by two HIRED gunner as
contributing to the "peace and
security" of the community?
Did he consider the operation
of the gambling joint at 818
Hennepin avenue as 'inciting
to peaceful pursuits ?" Does
he consider the career of Nose
Barnett and his gang Of killers
paramount to the peace and
dignity of the city?
No, NO! Frank Brunskill
considers any expose of these
unlawful combinations, gangs
and syndicates as "inciting to
riot!"
And, so, he uses the power
vested in him as chief of our
police department, to PRE-
VENT the taxpayers from
learning through these col
umns the TRUTH.
Who is this upstart, Brun-
skill-this guardian CD of the
public's morals (and gang
mems code) }? Why, he is the
SERVANT of some half mil
lion law-abiding citizens and
yet he thinks himself omnipo-
tent! He's a servant, an under
ling, in our municipal house
hold-and yet he usurps the
powers of a car.
This publication circulates
through the United States mails
without protest or hindrance
and if it were obscene, lacivi-
Gus, lewd or of a nature calcu-
lated to incite riot it wouldn't
be permitted in the mails!
Absolutely the only excuse
Brunskill can offer, for barring
it from the news stands is that
it EXPOSES THE VICIOUS
DEPTHS TO WHICH MINNIE
APOLIS HAS SUNK UNDER
FRANK BRUNSKILL'S AID
MINISTRATION.
More than a quarter of a
century ago the taxpayers of
Minneapolis SENT A BETTER
CHIEF OF POLICE THAN
FRANK BRUNSKILL TO
PRISON FOR PROTECTING
GANGSTERS AND VICE and
history has a nasty way of re-
peating itself! Those "old tim
ers" were slow to act but when
they, acted they stuffed Still
water FULL.
The Saturday Press sought,
seeks, no fight with Chief
Brunskill, but by the eternal
gods, it WILL FIGHT and it
will mop-up on the gunner
who have terrorized this city
it will clean house with the
