III
The assault on Hugo Ritter, the Do
mimic Inauisition spy. by two or three
liquor men was verse han a crime; it
was a b!under. 1t gives a strength and
permanence to the Sunday closing cru
sadie which will astonish the dealers and
their friends. The closing up as tight as
a drum. which has been a pleasant hc-
ton for the last couple of Sundays, is
likely to be a grim reality for the next
month or two. The conduct of Ritter's
assailants leaves the police no choice.
Chief Murphy, in his heart of hearts. has
we believe very little Puritan acerbity.
He is a friend of good order and decency
and, no doubt, would always enforce
them; but he is not a prosecutor, and if
the liquor men Act the mouthings of
Scudder & Co. exhaust themselves, the
freak inside a few weeks. But riot and
atrocious assault stir up the blood of
decent citizens; they impose new duties
on the police: the give new spirit and
new campaign material to the cranks,
and SO the war is bound to go merrily
on.
If the assailants of Ritter are positively
identified, as no doubt they will be, it
is hard to see how anything can save
them from State Prison. Indeed, they do
not deserve to be saved. If every man
who has a grievance is to take the law
into his own hands and organize a gang
to mangle his adversary, we may as well
abolish government and proclaim an
archy. One may abhor the abuse of law
and justice to which Ritter was lending
himself, one may feel no regret whatever
for the personal suffering of such a per-
SON., but no one can view with any feel
ing save alarm and indignation an at
tempt to wreak vengeance upon him by
personal violence.
The News" has throughout. deprecated
the outbreak OF narrow folly which has
led to the present persecution of the
liquor men and privation of their Gus
toners. 1t has done all in its power to
maintain a counter-agitation in favor of
aiberality and common sense. But it has
neither sympathy nor federation for the
retaliatory ideas of some of the saloon
keepers The attack on other store keepers
is vicious; the threatened move against
church organists is ridiculous. But
above all, any appeal to violence is
atrocious, and in 50 far as it may be
adopted as a weapon, 1.-The News" is
prepared to array itself on the side OF
its victims n against those VINO resort
it.
We pointed out yesterday that patience
and peaceful discussion were all powerful
allies of the liquor men, whereas other
can only hurt them. We renew
this admonition, today.
