A Wrong Repaired. .

The truth Of the matter is that the
authorities Of Dover made grave mis-
take In srrestIng. faing and impIisoning
the two Single Tax speakers, Stephens
and Koran. No matter what the town
ordinance provides, that provision has
been virtually dead letter regarding
p1blIc meetings for the purpose Of dis
cussing political or economic questions.
II was never intended to apply to such
gatherings. Some III disposed or i'll

sheir foolish attempt to use the courts
and the p lsens OF our state for the sup
preston Of public discussion.
Leave the Single Tax men to pursue
their own course. They are not dis
orderly men. The disorder at their
meetings is always caused by tbs hood
lum element. egged on by men who are
not good oltizsns. Governor Watson has
shown his fairness by pardoning tho two
men Imprisoned at Dover because they
refused to pay an unjust fue. BE could
do no more. The acceptance OF that
pardon by the Single Takers should not
be construed as an admission Of their
guilt. but as the recognition Of an effort
on the part Of our executive TO do all In
his power to repair wrong inflicted by
the Dovor magistrate.
Governor Watson did not pardon the
Single Tax speakers until he had con-
