BE SURE THY SIN WILL FIND
THEE OUT.

the Times makes use of the election OF
Mayor CLICK. and the comments made
bv this paper. The Times article'is. as
Il whole. false. and the evident intent of
the writer was TO mislead. The tenor of
the effusion is Il defense of the joints and
an attempt to sustain itself by misleading
statements as to the position of the
GLOBE. That there is bar in the VIII
lage, and that the editor of the Times is
aware of the fact. is doubted by no one.
That the newly elected mayor was gen.
erous in his treatment of the boys. we adj
nit. That one of the arguments used by
his supporters was that the joints would
pay city license. we assert without fear
of successful contradiction.
Those elements of high honor. that
= lofty conception of right and wrong.
= that fine perception in making distiuc-
- tons between deceit and honesty" was
with the citizens who supported Mr..
SWEET: who knew his worth and his
opinion as to what was for the real good
of the youth of our city. To these peo-
pie there is attached no treachery. no
diShonOr. no breaking of an obligation.
The Times asks why: Because they had
made no promise to support any man or
ticket other than one they felt was to the
moral. as we'll as the financial, welfare of
the city.
Again. the Times accuses the GLOBE,
together with very nearly half the voters
of the city. with having bolted; a crime
which in its opinion is. of all crimes, the
most damnable. Was there bolt: lie.
US see. Mr.. Gluck was a self-conStituted
candidate and came before no conven-
ton. Though he was apparently en-
dorsed by but slightly over One-fourth of
the vote pOlled. yet it must be remem-
bered that of the one hundred signers to
his petition many voted ut the caucus for
Mr.. Evans. who received but ten votes
more than Mr.. SWEET. Mr.. Evans public
ly announced by posters that he was not
a candidate leaving no nominee of Il con-
vention before the people. SO the day
before the election Mr.. Swett's name was
announced as the next choice of the
Rink convention. Was there dishOnOr
in this: None that can be seen. except
by one who is seeking for some excuse
to do or defend wrong.
Among the names mentioned by the
Times. whom it accuses us of having in
suited. all but perhaps two are warm
friends of the GLOBE. and we are not
afraid to be :ried with the Times before
these gentlemen.
The GLOBE is not spiteful, neither
mortified over defeat. but feels toward the
Times as father for an erring child that
persists in following in paths that lead
to no happy future.
We have no apology to make for any
thing said in last Wednesdays issue, and
in the future will stick TO the text which
our neighbor has chosen 10 distOrt. and
that text was. is. and forever will be. in
language rs follows:
:. Mr.. Chuck can count upon the friendship
and support of the GLOBE only so far he
lends his aid towards good clean govern
ment.'
The Times again says. '.There may be
a cry for REFORM 1t should have said
there is 4 cry for reform. The GLOBE
expects TO be in the future. as in the past.
an advocate not only for the suppression
of vice. but for Il popular sentiment sur
rounding the people and youth that con-
siders the evil associations of gambling
and places of low order an evil that must
be abolished. AS to its effect upon the
prosperity of the city. if that is to be
measured by the number of dollars spent
daily over the bar. instead of remaining
in happy homes. then we ask not for
prosperity. If the editor of the Times
had been in the habit of assOciating with
some of our friends whom he sought to
embitter toward us. it would not now be
necessary for us to show him the error of
his way, but he would now be found
with the GLOBE battling for the support
of all honest, earnest endeavor to help
mankind over the pitfalls of life, instead
of making broad the way and easy the
entrance therein.
An individual or newspaper that
stands for the right from principle. sim
ply and only because it is right, is wor-
thy of commentator; while one that
supports either right or wrong simply
from selfish motive, or from the You
tickle me and Ill tickle you principle.
is only worthy of. and will receive. con-
demnation.
The entire editorial of the Times was
fraught with the latter sentiment. though
we must believe it was against its better
self. and contrary to its idea of truth and
Justice. Be sure. dear Fred, that so long
as you continue in this course. thy sin
will find thee out.
