Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland
today was investigating the report OF
a Washington policeman's arrest by .
Prince Georges County constable fol-
lowing the District policeman's appre-

The Washington oficer. Pvt. w. D.
Huskey Of the second precinct. assigned

After filing of the complaint with
Maj Ernest w. Brown, the report was
sent to the District Commissioners who
subsequently referred it to Gov. Nice
In letter from the States chief
executive revealed today. Nice de-
clared: II will not tolerate lack of CO.
operation or discourtesy on the part
Of my appointees."
Huskey reported that he trailed an
automobile from Fourteenth and @
streets to Thirty-fourth and Cedar
streets. in Brentwood, some seven
blocks across the District line. Dressed
in plain clothes and in his own auto
mobile, Huskey chased the ear at a
high rate of speed before he finally ap-
pretended the driver, suspected Of vice
violations.
Accompanied by Citizen.
The Washington policeman, on duty
at the time. was accompanied by a
District citizen. When the chase
ended the suspect assaulted both men.
Huskey testified, and he was forced to
blackjack the offender.
After arrival OF county police, Hus-
key and his companion and the ar
rested man went to the Hyattsyille
police station, the District officer said.
The magistrate placed Huskey and his
colleague under $1,000 bond apiece on
assault charges, and the Washington
policeman was not released until sew
eral hours later, when local officers
Investigated the case. All charges
were subsequently nolle pressed by
States Attorney Alan Bowie.
Huskey complained that the magis-
trate and county officer used vitupera-
tive language during the hearing in
the Hyattsville station. He said they
we're very indignant and spoke very
entagonistically of the District Of Co.
Mmbia police in general"
Appointed by Nice.
Responding to the District Com
missioners' report on the matter. Gov.
Nice pointed out that the magistrate
had been appointed by him and had
been asked for a complete account Of
the affair.
He said complaints Of the county
police force should be made to the
county commissioners and character
ICED the attitude of the magistrate as
anything but dignified, and he GER
tainly deserves q reprimand." The
Governor said his administration
would function in complete harmony
and cooperation with your depart
ment, and any breach OF this CO.
operation will meet with very prompt
correctional measures at my hands"
In q report to Maj. Brown. sent a
week after Huskey's arrest, which oc-
Cured September rs, Inspector James
r. Beckett of the first district recon-
mended that mo part of this matter
be considered prejudicial to Pvt. Hus-
key" He pointed out, however, that
certain indignities have been hurled
ut the personnel of our department
and much embarrassment caused us
over this episode"

There was no "bike-riding" by u. S..
Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden
last night at Eastern Point as he entered
the political ring, erected by state demo-
Gratis, to counter the blows aimed at the
party the previous night in Hartford by
Charles Francis "Socker" Coe. While
Senator Maloney is not noted for his
ability as writer or as an amateur boxer,
he is known for his craftsmanship and
his ability to bring out the facts of given
case He was in fine fettle last evening,
as all who heard or read his keynote
address must admit
Senator Maloney countered feints with
punches straight from the shoulder. He
didn't pull punch once He didn't
back away from his opponent at
any stage of the bout. He wasn't maneu-
vered into a corner from which he had to
be eXtricated by the referee. He was IN
there fighting and for blows he used hard,
cold facts - facts that were born OF the
dread disaster days of 1888, when the
nation turned to Franklin D. Roosevelt
and he proved that he was all that any
emergency needed to turn it aside.
OF course in the past three and one
half years we have been experimenting.
But was it as bad as all the republican
C4AIACo INV oO oAAA6Ay VSAAAA AO' law "AAS
efforts to prevent ruin and deSolation in
millions of homes been fruitless? We
think not. Had President Roosevelt con-
tinued along the path trod by republican
predecessors or had the last republican
president been continued in office, who
knows where anyone of us would be today.
We do know, though that republican poll
cies and republican tactics had failed,
because they did not keep pace with the
time.
These and many other things the up
and-coming junior U. S. senator pointed
out, oh, so wildly, earnestly, and descrip-
lively, in his remarks last night to the
democratic delegates and visitors at the
convention. It was quite in contrast to
the sarcastic at times, discouraged at
other times, statements of the cop.
keynoter the previous evening. Just as
we have said many time, republicans
take it for granted that no other party
but their own can be synonymous with
prosperity and progress. Yet the facts Of
the last three years prove conclusively
that republican prosperity and progress
are false. We have tried to build new
foundations for this nation and its peo-
pies. We will continue to do so long as
the voters show confidence in the Roose-
welt administration in the nation and
that of Governor Wilbur L. Cross in the
state of Connecticut.

This is the season of the year when
the Letter-to-the-E Editor" columns OF
our daily newspapers take on an appear
ance of prosperity. At no other time OF
the wear is Pro Bono Publico or Vox Pop
more melted to write to his favorite or
hated editor than right now with po-
litical campaign on full blast. The year
1886 bids fair to surpaSS all others in this
one respect. We call your attention to
our forum columns daily, so that you
may see whereof we speak.
Last night the columns, open to let
ter-writers, contained the perfect exam
pie of that frenzy which SeizeS hold OF
individuals and forces them to place on
paper certain thoughts that have been
grinding around in the old thinking-box
for quite some time. We feel sure that
this will be but one of many similar ones
in which we will be both taken to task
and also placed on pedestalS for our
political leaningS and comments. we
sincerely hope that both events take
place. In short we welcome the letters,
provided we know who our correspond
ents are and they remain fairly moder-
ate in their remarks directed at others.
What you say about us, good or bad, we
enjoy printing.
Our attention was also directed to-
wards another letter, which, unfortu-
nately we could not print in these col
umnS, because it was not directed Grand
streetward. Had it been, we might have
taken the trouble to answer the writer's
mouthings and to show him the error OF
his ways. But we again point out the
fact that this is the season for dire pre-
dictions and harsh remarks. It's not the
fact that we have two full moons in Sep
TENDER that causes it. It's merely the
approach of an election.

Whether or not republicans are aban-

Of the democratic reign in the Capital
city Of Mayor Thomas ]. Spellacy is a
topic for debate, but when it came to Sc
lecting state ticket at the convention
yesterday the G. o. p. completely over
looked the county. Not that the county
didn't have its candidates It did. There
were two strong and outstanding ones in
the persons of States Attorney Hugh M.
Alcorn and Attorney William J. Multi
gan. But both were defeated for NOM
nation.
The republican organization ran
pretty true to form. A long time ago it
was revealed that State Chairman j.
Henry Roraback was partial to States
Attorney Arthur NJ. Brown, who up I'M
til the time that he was persuaded to
enter the ring, was a timid candidate
He would and he wouldn't, but right
now he's in and he's got to show his
wares. Evidently there was no joke
about the Brown candidacy. 1t was the
other way around. The hard-hitting Mr..
Alcorn, who conducted a robust CAM
paign in 1884 to no avail, and the af-
fable and well-liked COL John @. Tilson
were both probably permanently shelved
50 far as gubernatorial aspirations are
concerned in the future.
Along with States Attorney Brown
the republicans selected a ticket that
can't help but appeal to the 6. o. p. And
we might also say that second place on
the ticket went to a man who will APP
peal to others besides republicans. Al

that gentleman of the first water is
highly regarded. His popularity is not
based on false grounds. The contest be-

publican ticket, but inaSmuch as they

Judge that only criticism of the New

to withhold Judgment and let the voters
do the deciding. And if these candidates
are to stand four-square on platform
which is "steap of Governor Cross ex-
pressed planks of bygone years, we can't
quite see how there is any contest. The
departure of the party in endorsing the
merit system, in view of what we have
had in the state, is ludicrous, although
the proposal itself is meritorious. When
the democrats finish today, we can orient
our voting position.

With the county jail at New Haven
filled to capacity court judges in the
county will have to do come tall figuring
to know how to dispose of cases coming
their way in the next few weeks. But a
good many of the jail inhabitants may be
persons awaiting trial in the superior or
common pleas courts at New Haven and
Waterbury With the fall terms now in
session this number should be soon de-
creased. This is one of the arguments
against the county jail system. With a
Jail farm established it would be possible
to segregate actual prisoners serving Jail
terms and those awaiting trial, who have
not as yet been found guilty of any crime.
Sooner or later we think Connecticut is
going to take up the jail farm plan. Now
is the time to start planning for it, so that
when actual plans are announced, they
can be speedily accomplished.

SepC. D, 1880
Editor, Waterbury Democrat: /.
Social Justice is a great ideal.
Ever since society broke up into
classes Of HAYES and have nots, rich
and poor, exploiters and exploited,
the people have been dreaming of
and fighting for social justice.
The working people crave 1t. They
listen to every one who breaches it.
Here is the wealthiest country in
the world, with limitless natural re-
sources and the greatest capacities
for the production Of wealth, 10
million people walk the streets In
search of jobs. The youth of Amer
lea treads the highways of America
without prospects Of future. The
bulk of the American farmers, once
free and independent, Is being turn
ed into a landless peasantry. The
oppression Of the people by big
business has become intolerable.
Though unbelievable yet this is
the picture. Workers are thrown
into discard as so much rubbish.
The middle classes, the small busi-
ness men and professionals are
crushed by the monopolieS. Four
teen million negroes, mostly work.
ers, are treated like Pariahs, dis
eliminated against, oppressed, per-
secuted and lynched.
Such Is the justice Of the present
social system which Landon, Hearst
and the Liberty league are deter
mined to maintain at all costs and
by all means. . s
Yet Coughlin and Lemke who
claim to be opposed to the injus-
tice Of the present system, who
would like to be accepted by the
people as fighters for social justice,
are helping Landon and Hearst
come to power. ..
They deny 1t Of course. They pro-
fess to be in opposition to both Lam
don and Roosevelt, but their deeds
tell different story.
They work for the defeat Of
Roosevelt and for the election of
Landon. This is a fact which Meth
er can successfully deny.
Landon means Hearst, Wall
Street, big business, reactionary
monopoly.
He who works for Landon openly
or otherwise works for big business
and reaction. He works against the
social justice which the American
people profoundly desire. Coughlin
and Lemke cannot dispell from the
minds of even their followers this
deep suspicion that the launching
Of the Lemke ticket is trick to
elect Landon.
The Union Party candidate has
no chance Of being elected. Every

We've commented on the fact that
September is going to have two full
moons, but it just occurred to us that
perhaps this lunar phenomenon may
have something to do with the nice
weather we are getting. According to
reports this is going to be summary
month. And the foliage seems to bear out
this fact, as there is, as yet, little signs
of approaching autumn. A warm Sep
TENDER always pushes winter back to the
first of the new year, which is just about
time enough for it to start, we think
