Twelve Reasons Why

The st Louis Republic gives dozen
good reasons why newspaper readers
should read this paper. Here they are:
l. The Republic is the greatest news
paper published.
>. 1t has cable news service over the
entire civilized world which no other st.
Louis paper can secure.
3. Special correspondents in all the
arge cities and capitals of Europe.
4. News Bureau in New York city
and Washington. ID. {.
!. Special correspondents in every city
and town in the Western United States
6. Member of the Associated Press
the greatest news gatherer in the world
!. Publishes daily the market reports
of the world.
: Issues a magnificent cOlored maya
zine cover with Sunday paper.
Q. More noted writer's and artists con
tribute to The Republic than any other
paper.
10 Issues an unequaled four page
comic weekly with each Sunday paper
free.
II. Publishes pages of interest and
value to wOmanklnd.

which broke many heart strings and

and which still prompt to righteous in
dignation. Don't make the mistake
gentlemen OF thinking the public does
not care. The public does care. and
will manifest it with heavy hand.
The most aggravating thing about the
whole matter is that it can be so easily
stopped. IL Sheriff Trompen or County
Attorney Munger will simply say to
these gamblers. you cannot conduct
your business in this county: IT is against
the law and you will not be allowed to
violate the law" and mean it when they
say it, that is an end Of the whole
matter. These two gentlemen have
more than their official standing at
stake. The integrity OF their manhood
S involved. THE COURIER believes the
est will not find them wanting.
There is no need of having a grand
ury to investigate the business. Such
course will fool nobody. We all know
hat pubic gambling is going on in this
.ity and that it is useless to expect II
ity officials to suppress it and to prose
ute the offenders. IL Mr.. Munger or
Sheriff Trompen will tonight walk

Vitbout police Interference. In "cut-
ting up" the bribe Melick did net re-
ceive his bit" Thereupon he started
out to hold up the gamblers on his
own hook. This interfered with the
other powers, and on his refusal to cease
bostilities. 'the concert Of nations, fired
him. These facts lie within the person
al knowledge Of at least twenty five per-
sous in the city. They are known to
certainty to hundreds. They are com
mon talk upon our streets.
Gambling is felony. Male so by
state laws 1t the duty of the county
sheriff and county attorney to see that
violations OF these laws are punished.
II County Attorney Munger and Sheriff
Trompen are the men we have been led
to believe they are, they will stop this
nefarious business without further
prompting. 1t won't do for the county
attorney to say that he will prosecute
any case where the evidence presented
to him is sufficient to convict 1t is his
business to secure the evidence. That
is what he is hired for. In addition he
is provided with deputy and a bailiff
10 assist him in hunting up evidence.
He can call on the sheriff TO perform
this duty. The deputy sheriffs can be
utilized for this purpose. II the pres
ent deputies won't do it, others can be
secured who will. Sheriff Trompen is
said to be consistent church member.
We we're told that at the time of his
first nomination, at a critical point in
the canvass. he abandoned everything
and went home because the next day
was Sunday and did not engage in the
ante convention contest until the fol
lowing Monday. Inaction is sometimes
but action is now the
duty of the hour. There are ten or
fifteen men drawing salaries from Lln-
'aster county, sworn to uphold the laws
and charged with the duty OF ferreting a
'ut crime. The courts have not been
q session for two months. and will not e

heir own inaction of being unwilling to
erform it. The Excise Board cannot p
move them for doing their duty, but
lie people can and will, if they fail to el

The municipal officers who are so
'enly and defiautly engaging in this a
llawful matter are playing with fire.
