Police crooks must go. | Seattle has had enough of them. ' Even the suspicion of police crookedness must be wiped out. | This city has been disgraced all too often by grafting cops. She is in no mood” jto be disgraced again. These get-rich-quick policemen havehad ample and emphatic warnings. . The tragedy of six years ago, when Chief Wag 'penstein was convicted and sent to Walla Walla, was, the people hoped, the end of police crookedness. It should have been the end. Yet, Wappenstein’s fate was not taken as a seri- ous warning by many policemen. Subsequent grafting by cops proves that. There © was the Schumann affair, then the Hazelett case, and now Seattle beholds its police chief, its police inspector and no less thanfour other members under - arrest. Crookedness is inexcusable in a cop in any city In Seattle, in view of her past miser- \able police history, it is doubly inexcusable. « | ° There is but one proper place for ». grafting policeman—the penitentiary. - Throw the prison doors wide open for ‘them, Mr. Prosecutor.
