Show ; A cotemporary has an article on the po- ! lice scandals. We are not going to j , liscuss those scandals now, but we call I on the polic e commissioners to make it , ; impossible riht at the start to have repeated what was carried on to the shame of the city j and the liberal party all lat summer. If j there are any unworthy men on the police, we demand that they be dismissed summa- j ' rily. If there are any men who have ob- I ; tained places on that police force and who : ' are abusing tlu'ir places afVr all the prom- i ises of tiie campaign, their official positions j , should expire within fifteen minutes. If i ; there are any officers, if there are any men 1 who are under oath to keep the r eace of this i j city and to act as guardians of the public, ! who are so low and debased as to forget their oath and their obligations to the peo- ! ; p'.e, let us have no more whitewashing, no i I more poulticing for such old sores as they; i let their stars be stricken from them, let j then be tired out where they will cease to i be of any interest to the people. There was scandal enough last year. We insist tiiat that there shall lie none this year; we insist that every unworthy mau, just so soon as his unworthiness shall have been demonstrated, demon-strated, shall be dismissed, and that if there any plundering loafers hanirintr around the ! city hall they either be sent to the street or to the city jail, Salt Lake Tribune. j |
