The grand jury has furnished some
Individual an opportunity to vent
his spleen against some of our
drugmen by the return OF the in
dictments against them. We are
opposed to the violation OF law by
druggists or any one else, but their
punishment should be because Of
that violation and not because they
have incurred the displeasure Of
some scoundrei who, caring nothing
for the law, takes advantage OF the
opportunity to get even. Druggists
and all others should be made to re-
spect the majesty OF law rather than
the spitefulness OF a person. We hops
our next grand jury will administer
justice to one and all in proportion
TO their several offenses and thus dis.
arm the vengeful hyprocrite OF his
hitherto most powerful weapon.
