ARE THE PEOPLE TO BLAME?

In an editorial column long the
Evening Citizen OF Monday undertook
for the first time to give Its views on
the terrible events of last week. AMI
The Bulletin regrets yes v much TO
note that its contemporary assumes
the attitude of an official organ 4
undertaking d labored defense Of the
men In authority and placing the
blame for the horrors through which
this community has just passed upon
the people of cairo. In black-faced
type in 0. der to emphasize its words
II sums up its column Illumination in
the following interrogation, barring a
typographical error:
lis II not true that we get lust the
kind cf executives that we want, and
get just the kind Of law enforcement
that we want?f'
That Is the view ether exchanges,
few OF them away from. here, whose
editors not knowing the Truth, have
taken superficial view based upon
the theory that, as the people elect
the officials they are responsible for
what the officials are and do,
But the evening contemporary can
not plead ignorance Of the actual
state OF things here, 1t must know
that the people OF cairo have elected
to office men whom they had right
to regard as good men, as men who
would give them good government.
Sehe heads of all the departments are
excellent citizens, in The ordinary &C
ceptance of that term. Judge Butler,
sheriff Davis, States Attorney VIII
son, Mayor Parsons, Chief of Police
Egan there are no better men, as
citizens, In the city Of county than
these, or In any city or county in the
state. And yet the administration of
The criminal law in the circuit court
and in the police department of the
city has been for years impotent as a
protection to law-abading citizens.
This isano time for venting personal
spleen or petty criticisms; but If ever
there was time in the history Of q
community for plain talk and plenty
OF 1t, without regard to personal likes
or dislikes, that time is here now IN
Cairo. and The bulletin, plain spoken
on various other occasions can not
shirk what it feels TO he duty now
when the good name OF the people OF
Cato Is being 50 violently and I'M
justly assailed from some quarters
Judge Butler, sitting on the circuit
bench. knew that rogues were at worl
in each of the lurdfr cases wherein
yerd.cts Of acauitta, were rendered
in the face Of the known guilt Of tn,
accused. he had the 1est OF reason t.
believe that Officers Of his court. &C:
ing as deputy sheritfs and bailiffS
were in collision with the defend
arts friends, sometimes going so ia
and growing 50 hold in their effort
to serve theia clients" as to interfec
with the business Of the court, h
knew or had good reason to beliey
that the prosecution was being 81
riously hampered and that the admir-
istration Of justice N his court wa
being made matter of barter an
sale.
Why did he not stop It? Why di
he not purge his court of cooks
Was he not there to see that IA
trial was being had, not only for tn
prisoner at the bar but for the pe'
pie as we'll?

business interests Of Newberry to
the importance Of a live chamber Of
commerce that we approach the sub
iect again only on account Of the
realization Of the great Importance
to any community Of live orgam-
cation Of this character.
We frankly admit that It is dis
,couraging, and somewhat embarass-
ING, to be constantly speaking OF a
subject which concerns the welfare
of the entire community, when
there is so little interest manifested
in it by those who are most con-
cerned in its success, and not only
so. but those who would reap the
greatest benefits from a live organi-
cation.
The president Of our Chamber OF
Commerce is not engaged IN active
business, but he has taken an ac-
tive interest in any effort to do
those things which would advance
the interests Of the community.
That he has not hao the cooperation
and support Of the business inter-
ests needs not to be told.
Another meeting Will be held
nezt Thursday night in the rooms

the president has some things to say
which Will affect all business inter-
ests in Newberry, and he requests
us to urge that every member Of
the Chamber Of Commerce will be
present to hear him. He declines
to give out in advance what he has,
but we are sure that it will per-

the advancement Of this community.
