CURRY MADE
MORPHINE
VICTIM
Pugh and Sullivan Refuse to
Investigate Downey Shoot
ing Any Further.

The Downey case cannot be
downed. A great wrong was done,
and no amount Of official obstruc-
tions can stop the cry for justice.
This story win relate In a plain
way the status of the case as 1t Is
today. There is no need for any
"sIinging Of language" or Of eIo-
quent appeal to heart sympathy;
the plain facts tell their own bitter
story.
A few days ago, Joe Curry, who
was shot down by Officer Lee
Downey, was discharged from the
hospital. They had done all they
could for him there. A main ar
terry in his neck is slowly dying,
giving him horrid and ceaseless
pain. The nerves down one arm,
to the very finger tips, are affect
ed and pain shoots through them
oil the time.
Hill, the stepfather of the lad,
said yesterday that Joe was given
morphine every two hours while he
was in the hospital, to deaden the
pain, and now he has become a
morphine victim. He must have it
regularly, or the pain becomes un-
endurable and his mother cannot
manage him.
The doctors give him not more
than one year to live. When that
main artery dies, Joe Curry dies.
Nothing can prevent it, physicians
say.
And so here Is q youth of 20 suf.
fering continual torture and dying;
here Is mother, Ill herself, suf-
fering untold mental agony. and
here Is her husband, who gave up
a fine position in Oregon to come

II any Of the immigrants are suf-

DELAYED HONORS.

Ever since the Spanish-American
War was ushered in by the blowing
up the Maine in Havana harbor, II
is safe to say that there has been a
general desire on the part of the
people OF the United States to have
the Inflated battleship raised and
the bluejackets who were carried
down with the wreck given decent
burial on American soil.
The Government has been delin-
quent up to the present time about
taking any steps in the matter, but
now It seems that a move will be
made and the sixty-seven bodies, sup
posed to be still in the wreck, will
be given military honors for the dead
in the Arlington National Cemetery.
1t seems dilatory on the part OF
the United States officials to let the
Nations honored dead remain un-
cared for in the harbor OF a nearby
country, but 1t is better late than
never.

His reflections on the Board OF

that the board is or ever has been

PROHIBITION FALSEHO0D and
PREJUDICE.

Prohibitions agent and spokes-
man, Mr.. Woolley. in his latest dec
laration of purposes made last even
ing. opened his address with these
words:
That we who support the prohi-
bition side make no fight ON any
individual, impupn no mans mo-
tlves. deny no mans right to hold
and advocate his own opinion,
wish no man III, belittie no mans
possible loss,
And he closed his remarks with the
following sentence:
Against US are only the guerillss
Of evil and timidity, and best OF
all, God Is with US.
Could there be more impressive
example OF inconsistency, falsehood
and hypocrisy?
This agent and spokesman for Pro-
hibition in this Territory, in his
first breath, speaks for fair fight
and an honest exchange Of opinion.
He then with studied care leaves as
final thought in the mind of his
hearers the statement that against
him and his Prohibition forces are
"only'-mark well that he makes
no qualification for the right Of a
man to hold his own opinion--"the
guerrillas OF evil and timidity."
One of Mr.. Woolley's own phrases
used In this opening address is the
best answer that can be made: That
Is lie told knowingly"
This agent Of Prohibition knows
very we'll that there are any guam
tity of clear-headed, honest-thinking
Christian men and women In this
city and this Territory who believe
that Prohibition is not only not q
solution of the liquor traffic evils
but that Prohibition does more harm
than good, and thus intensifles the
evil that already exists In this
