Justice Before Generosity

EDITOR STAR: 1t Is all very
we'll to show our Humanitarian
spirit for others when i'm trouble,
but it is well first TO consider
what brought about the trouble.
Very recently young gentleman
Of this community who had been
victimized by thorough-goipg
confidence man, had the moral
courage to bring the culprit to
the bar of justice and expose his
moral turpitude, whereupon there
immediately sprung up a maudlin
sentiment Of sympathy for the
cnlPrit, and a corresponding feel
ing Of resentment against the
young man who determined to
let the public know Of the short
comings of this man Merriam alias
Burke, who made 1T point to in
sinuate himself into the best So
ivy dS LCIO
of the Spanish American war.
How well he succeeded is best
known to the score or more of
victims in our community.
His trial reminds one of the
famous Scotch verdict: "Guilty,
but not proven.
He now capers, no doubt, in
other pastures green with a bet
ter knowledge of how he can
victimize others and yet evade
the punishment Of the law.
Surely all law-abiding citizens
will commend the course pursued
by Mr.. George Pasteur in strip
ping tins hypocrite who invaded
the sacred SANITARY to facilitate
his methods of defrauding the in
nOcent public. b. +. p.
