Every worth while aspect of civiliza-
tion has developed through four phases
of progress. First, people believe it to be
ridiculous; then, they say it is marvellous;
later, they think they could not live
without it; and finally, they are quite
certain they never wanted it anyway.

A 7-year-old boy was placed on the

right well insist that act was not in vio-
lation of the child labor laws.

Surely neither the Mayor nor
the Chief Of Police is ignorant Of
the fact that these charges were
made by a Presidential Commits
sion and that they constitute a
most serious indictment. One
would normally suppose that po-
lice chief, as well liked personally
as Mr.. Sears, and enjoying Mr.
Langlies support from the begin
ming, would make it his first order
of business to remove from his de-
pamment even the slightest ground
for charges as grave as those
made by the Wiekersham Com
mission. Yet what has happened
under the -Comstock Admin
istration?
eFor the better of two years,
Chief Sears and his official FAM
lily allowed officers Paschal and
Whelan to terrorize Seattle's Ne
gro population. The Northwest
Enterprise publishes astonishing
details concerning the brutality of
these two officers. In its edition
of Friday, April 1, 1888, it editor
ializes as follows
"The death of Berry Lar
son, Negro waiter on March
rs while in custody of the p0-
lice has caused storm of pro-
test from the race and all low
ers of fair play. That such
thing as this happened was to
be expected, in fact il was pre-
dicted to the chief of police,
VIM. Sears, over year ago.
John Wesley Jones, ~
years-oId and five feet one
inch tall, weight lis pounds,
was among those that receiv-
ed injuries while in the custo-
dy of these two officers. Bert
Allen, high school football star,
is another who alleges those
men punched him. VIII Smith,
swears those same two beat
him numerically, when he de-
manded a warrant TO search
his rooms. John FOIlings, well
known citizen of this city, a
taxpayer and the head of a
family, is listed among the
victims of this unholy two.
These are just a few Negroes
who have made sworn state
ments of brutality administer
ed at the hands of Paschal and
Whalen.
"Chief Sears has been ac-
qulinted with this information,
AMI has declared himself, by
his actions, as being unable to
do anything about it. We be-
live If he could he would, his
past record has proven this.
"The citizens of this com
munity should take these CON
ditions as a living example of
why they should band closer
together for mutual protection.
No stone should be left unturn-
ed at this time to for once
and all adjust the relations of
these members of the force and
the race. 1t has been pointed
out that these two men make
more arrests than the rest of
the force together, but arrest
ing someone to be held on open
charge and securing cOnvic-
ton against criminals are two
different things. This is what
they brag of - 1000 arrests.
