Law and order must be Preserved.
From the Taloga Advocated

Ex-County Attorney George Sexton
was arrested few days ago on the
charge of trying to prevent an officer
OF the law in the Official discharge of
his duty, in making an arrest. He
waived a preliminary trial and gave
bond IN the sum of $50 for appearance
at the next sitting of the district court.
Later, he was again arrested for con-
tempt of court before Judge W. w.
Patton. He took change of venue to
Judge Arthaud's court, who set his
hearing for Tuesday at 9 a. M, at
which time the prosecuting attorney
asked for continuance on account of
the absence of material witness. The
continuance was granted, and the de-
fendant's own recognizance taken for
his appearance Wednesday afternoon
at O'Clock, at which hour Sexton did
not put in an appearance.
Its well-established fact that the
high handed foolishness George Sexton
has been practicing lately must come
to stop.
has he no respect for that law he
claims to be disciple of? Has he no
regard for the dignity of that profess
sion? 1t looks as if he has none. 1t is
not consistent with reason for him to
live in open defiance of the law he has
been hearty exponent of.
George Sexton is not running the
official machinery of ID county; and the
sooner he becomes cognizant of the
fact the better off he and the county
will be.
AS we understand 1t, the courts of
this city have been exceedingly lenient
toward Mr.. Sexton in several in
stances, and he makes his open boasts
that HE has BEAT THEM. He CONSTITUTES
leniency and pity into a legal victory,
and laughs to scorn acts of kindness
and ridicules them as indications of
fear. With ingrates, all acts of lenien-
cy are born of cowardice. If there IS a
man in ID county afraid of George Sex
ton, we have not heard of him. Some
times Indifference and contempt is
made akin to fear by those of little or
no self respect.
Ii our courts oflaw must be put to
rldlcule and scorn, and the law robbed
OF Its high, native dignity, what use
have we for such courts and said lawp
Ii lawlessness shall be permitted to
run riot, let our court doors remain
closed, and the statutes lie untouched,
and let their dust stained covers be ST.
lent and fit emblems of d county's
degradation and shame.
Law and order must be preserved, no
matter at what cost and hazard. The
administration of ID county is in honest
and competent hands, and the welfare
OF the commonwealth will go smoothly
on II there be no one to offer check to
Its progress and machinery. The de-
sired end can be easily reached if we
have close observance of the statutes.
III respect to Sections estimable wife
and family we deploIe all this, but
there are some duties that must be per-
formed no matter how unpleasant they
may be.
with some persons coercive measures
are required rather than persuasive, so
do your duty, officers of d county
down with lawlessness.

Met Their Waterloo.

Our base ball boys. highly elated ov-
er the recent victories won over the
heads OF the Wellington and Alva
teams, and feeling tolerably good in
the upper story in general, accepted a
challenge last week from the Winfield
cluo and went oyer Thursday with the
intention of adding another sparkle to
their already brilliant record. But in
this their imagination was quite over
drawn. The boys were skinned as
easily as they were accustomed to
sklnning the teams in these parts. Two
games played, one on Friday and one
Saturday, resulting in scores of 81 to Z
and Is to IN favor of Winfield. To
the credit of our club, be it said, Win
field had to gather players from three
different states to defeat them. Four
were imported from Kansas City and
several from different parts of Okla
homa. Everyone of Winfeld's men
was salaried player and, of course.
they were two heavy for Medicine
Lodge. From this game we draw the
SOhSAuoiOi tbdG IL Will D0 some time De-
fore our boys will tackle New York or
Brooklyn or other similar teams. We
have an excellent team but occasionally
they get out of their sphere. Win
fields high score was partly due to the
errors on the part of Medicine Looge
which were probably caused by excite
inent when they discovered what they
were playing against. Steve Irland
and one of the Lamb boys were the
only ones of the Lodge team that were
not famed. Harry Plaggmar, who is
known by number here as the drug
gist clerk of l.. F. Plerson in former
days, umpired the game.
Our young heroes returned Sunday
evening and, like the little boy we oc-
casionally read about, had nothing to
say. Of course, they expatiated more
or less on the Ifs" and 'ands'' of GER
tain plumbers that should have been
prevented ETC., but to the bystander.
this brought up the old original dog
story, all Of which has a tendency to
make people who don't walk machinery
tired. Medicine Lodge will probably
not play Winfield again for some time.
