Revolting Police Work
There can be nothing more revolt
ing to any decent man or woman than
some schemes resorted to by the po
c&. in fore? confessions from sus
pected criminals. In a recent case,
two men were suspected of murder.
The police dug the victim up from
the grave, seated the corpse in a dimiy
lighted room with a finger pointing at
the entrance door and then rushed the
suspected man into the room.- One
of them fell to the floor, overcome by
the gruesome sight and the other was
much affected thereby. But both of
the men refused to confess. Under all
the rules of evidence in any civilized
country, such forced ' - confessions
should act in favor of the suspected
person rather than against him
In" the Nan Patterson case th at
torneys - for the prosecution were al
lowed by the judge to bring into court
and exhibit an articulated skeleton to
be used before the jury Such per
mission on the part of the judge is a
disgrace to civilization. Whatever
point the attorneys desired to prove
could have been proved by evidence.
In every city the police are allowed
to use all sorts of disgraceful devices
to force confessions. In one case re
ported not long ago the police turned
a hose on a victim until the man shiv
ering and exhausted, confessed. That
resembles the old torture chambers of
the dark ages, and if a stop is not put
to it we will have the torture chamber
back again in a few years. f ;;
Some 6i the republican papers are
still saying very unkind things about
Judge Parker's attack " on Roosevelt
because Roosevelt was getting the sup
' port of all the trusts. S'ome allowance
should be made for Judge Parker on
account of the perfidy of the. trusts
toward him. In the beginning, the
trusts promised him their support and
actually furnished the funds that
enabled Belmont, Hill and other re-
ftin i vnro trt fantnro ta Qr T.rmic! nnn.
ventionv Judge Parker had the right
to' expect the continued support of the
(trusts, but as 'soon as they had made
their peace with and got their guaran
tees from the--present administration,
hey all forsook Parker, and threw
their influence to the other side. A
-little temper in a man while contem
plating such perfidy, as that, . is . ex- j
cusable. But Judge Parker nad no
Tight to expect honest treatment from
a lot of pirates and thieves such as
the trust managers are. They served
him just as they would any partner
in a Wall street deal if they had a
chance to make money , by bankrupt
ing him. .
R.&lIroeL.d Senators
The State Journal now says of the
election of those two heavenly twins.
Millard and Dietrich, to the United
States senate, that: -,
'The choice was made by the rail--A
road managers as absolutely as if
; they had been "given the commis-
I sions and were empowered to fill
' the blank spaces with any names
they wished. The representatives
of the people of Nebraska had so
little to do with the election as to
be ridiculous. As. for the people
. themselves, they had nothing more
to do with it than if they lived in
another state. . They were mere on-
t: lookers, while these manipulators
exercised the right of suffrage for
a million people and sent to Wash
ington to represent them two men
who had hardly been thought of in
connection with the office.
While the election next winter will
be conducted in a little different way,
the senator will be elected by the rail
roads just as certainly as were the
heavenly twins. It is all right, for it Is
the republican senator who gives w
big crops and prosperity and we ought
all to be thankful that that party can
roll up such enormous majorities.

Uffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
The great dailies and the Associated
Press are both utttevly degraded, base,
despicable.' Think of thaz news gath
ering concern that would not report
the vote cast for the scholar, statesman
and orator, Thomas E. Watson, load
ing down the wires each day with
columns of stuff about two of the low
est characters in the sporting life of
New York! The womin was the
sporting man's mistress, the two were
riding in a cab and the man either
committed suicide or the woman shot
him. That is all there -is to it. and
day after day the Associated Press
sends out column after column con
cerning it. .Even the eloquent eulogy
of the gambler and bookmaker deliv
ered by the prosecuting attorney was
sent out to every paper in the United
States. The effect of that eulogy was
to give bookmaking and gambling a
defense which was read at every fire-
ide in the land. There Isn't any
agency of the devil In all the land that
Is doing more to degrade and demoral
ize the people, especially the young,
than the Associated Press. It is able
to do its criminal work because it has
the support of plutocracy. It is the
Wall street influence that capitalizes
it and keeps it on its feet. It is ttio
promoter of crime and indecency, of
vice and all immorality. Its degrad
ing work is felt everywhere.
The New York Time3 Is imploring
Judge Parker to reorganize the demo
cratic party. Perhaps it thinks that
because Judge Parker knocked it into
splinters with such rapidity and ease,
that he is the very man to gather up
the fragments and glue them together.
.When we had wild cat banking ami
all the money became worthless every
ten years, was it any worse system
than the "sound" money with a panic
every decade? Was any more suffer;
ing caused by the failure . of the wild
cat banks than was caused by the pan
ic of 1893? !
