The Republican last week stated that our
authorities permit people to live toceth-
er in Open adultery. just who are meant by
the authorities is not clear, from the article
containing the statement. We presume the
Republican meant the Circuit and Common
Pleas Courts, Judges and Prosecutors, az they
alone have jurisdiction of the oTense, com
plaihed of We think the Rep. wrong in its
eensuse. because We are well acquainted with
both the judges and believe that had our
neishbos brought the matter before either of
them. steps would haze been taken to pun
tsh the offenders. But is the charge true that
persobs are permitted TO live In open adul-
terry here? We do not believe K, but If it is
true as ailedsed by our neighbor. LET him file
the proper affidavit and have the parties ar.
rested and put under bonds. The least GER
tafnly hat will satisfy the good citizens of
this place will be the naming of the guilty
parties. so that II our neighbor will not pros
ecute them, others may.
