CoMPoUNDING A FELONY.

The case OF Carter, the check forger, who
was arrested and released on Thursday
after he had made good his forged paper and
promised 10 leave the city. illustrates a
great and growing public abuse. This
man Carter has already served q term for
forgery; he has repeatedly issued false
checks in the past, and il is an outrage on
the public 10 turn this professional utterer
OF forged paper loose on the country. A
citizen who has suffered az the hands of
such scoundrel has no business 10 help
compound his felony. and the prosecuting
officer IS not ercusable for consenting 10
it. Every citizen owes il 20 the peace and
order OF his state that such fellows as Car
ter be shut up IN a prison instead OF being
turned loose 10 scatter forged check.
broadcast over the land. This rascal
counts upon his ability TO compound his
felonies when he embraces his criminal
career. He reasons that he will escape ar
rest for some Of them; that he will COM
pound the others when he is caught. A
moments reflection will satisfy any right
thinking man that he has no more
business morally 70 refuse 10 prosecute a
professional scoundrel. who refunds his
stolen money. than he has 10 refuse 20
prosecute an incendiary who tried 70 fire
his barn but failed Of success. No man Is
deemed good citizen who turns small
pox. diphtheria OF any other contagious,
destructive disease loose upon the CON-
munity. and no man is good citizen who
helms turn professional sHiniler loose
BY refusing 10 prosecute.
The prosecuting officer in such cases
should refuse 10 be party to the escape of
itinerant scoundrels. He could have
prosecuted Carter; he could have forced
Mr.. Let's to testify and easily convicted
the swindler. Suppose that this rascal had
not been able TO make the check given Mr..
