INDIGNATION MEETING

temptation of making his little paper, the Peo'
pie, the organ of the slum element as indicated
in the following taken from it's editorial page
today:
''At an indignation meeting which was called
by the Pendolus Club last evening, at their rem
devious on South Grant street, the following
pream BILE and resolution were unanimously
adopted, viz:
"Whereas, This city is in the hands of the
Philistines, in reference to Law and Order,
Now therefore be it resolved-by select COM
mittee appointed by said Club, That this SELF
APPOINTED CITY COMMITTEE" in our op1n:on mas
not gone far enough in this matter of REFORM
and It is the sense of this committee, without
dissenting voice, that they should adopt the
principal of the Old Connecticut Blue Laws
where man dare not kiss his wife on Sunday
under penalty, etc.
"This will force people-men and women
alike, to conform to the strict regulations OF the
law" Xxx
There is a strong wide open" element in
Fitzgerald which includes or at least mas the
moral support of few influential citizens, VINO
are actuated by the same motive that might IL
fuence Artie Jones in siding with the lawless
element When we say lawless element we
mean the rank and file of the wide openers,
men who believe not only in open shops on Sun
day, but Sunday blind tigers, open pool rooms
gambling hells, brothels, and anything else that
will attract business.
But Artie not alone in his leanngs. There
are others who might come out stronger tor
decency and order to the profit OF themselves
and the community. Recently published mis-
representations of the actions of the Law and
Order League indicate an anlmoslty against the
men who are organized in the interest OF decency
and order.
The "wide-openers," men who at heart resent
the efforts of a Law and Order League, repre-
sent a strong business element, and the temp
tation to p1acate it constitutes the danger.
We are anxious to get into this fight good
and strong and shall resent and reprove every
indication of rebellion against the efforts of the
men who are organized in the name of law and
order, decency, civic virtue and christian inf1u-
ences.
We do trust that Tydney Sapp won't have
to make the sacrifice and run for Governor

An Alabama man in fit of anger shot and
killed deputy sheriff who was in the act of
levying on his property. The crime was MUIR
der and the jury found him guilty, for his guilt
was plain, and they fixed the punishment at
death and he, John Williams is his name, was
sentenced to hang July 18th. Williams SOP,
Frank, twenty years old, begged the court to
let him be hanged in his fathers stead Such
devotion does not usually attach to depraved
nature and the probability is that young Will
Jams will come to a better end than his sire.

The best thing to do when you find yourself
wrong is to get right and the next best thing is
to do your level best to stay right By this plan
you may honor your family, please your neigh
bors and be of great service to your community.
The other way (the wrong way to do it) is
to figure closely wherein you can get Ia a little
graft work, little selfish scheme, beat neigh
Dor or pilfer public treasury. If you haven't
got the energy nor tact for little game like that
lust sit down and repeat some lie about your
neigh Dor, who unlike yourself, has reputation
worthy good man or woman. Always i'm prove
on the lie, or manufacture one outright rather
than be put out by little circumstance.
Take your choice, you reap the inevitable
reward in either case.
