WHO ARE The MEN?

The public was startled last Fri
day to read in the Medicine Lodge
Cresset that there are men in au-
thority in Medicine Lodge who are
conspiring together to criminally
endanger the health, general well
fare and even the lives of the citi-
zens. This is very serious charge
and we submit that the newspaper
that has information of the exist
ence of such outlaws, owes it to
the community to make the names
OF these criminals public at once
SO that the proper steps may be
taken to prosecute them and trans
port them to the state penitentiary
so that the public may indeed be
safeguarded. If the Cresset is cor
rect, this organization is an extra
ordinary one; it is not composed
OF private citizens. Men Gin au-
thority'' compose the gang, which
IS equivalent to saying that the
criminals are public officials.
The Index publishers, in common
with many other citizens, are
alarmed. If their health and lives
are endangered they want to know
the source of the danger and par
ticularly the names of the response
bic parties.
1t is up to the Cresset publishers
to do something or lose the conf
dence of their readers, for it is COM
monty accepted maxim that he who
harborS or knows of or is in a posi-
ton to cause the apprehension of
a criminal and refuses to do his
part to bring him to Justice, is as
vicious as the criminal himself.
Reveal the names!

When a misfortune comes to citizen
or family in a community. ii is our
opinion that newspaper owes it to the
community to refrain from airing it to
the world when so requested by the in
terested parties. That has always been
the policy of this paper and it will con.
tinue TO follow that rule. There are
papers. however, that feed on the mis-
cry OF somebody else and take special
delight in pounding man when he is
down. Some people are a stranger to
sympathy except when sympathy should
come to them.
