The Greeley tribune., 1911-12-07

arc not going to be able to make
lies go. A good deal OF the truth
il already known While not WISH
ing to put you in the category with
the dynalniters OF Los Angeles you
will be wise to take heed of their
example. This community Is not
unforgiving; this community does
not wish to crush you utterly; this
community Is willing that you have
q chance to rehabilitate yourselves
but YOU can never do it except by
telling the truth. The community
further has noticed your conferences
with Cl,eeley, has noticed the PAL
pabIe symptoms indicating what his
advice has been; will you follow the
dictates of your own better selves or
will you follow the advice OF this
creature who has put you in such a
hole? Such creatures as Cheeley
can never give the protection they
promise-they cannot deliver the
goods. We have noticed the arrival
of this Omaha attorney. who is go
ing to help defend some OF you
a friend Of Cheeley's-and we feel
certain that he is being provided
by Cheeley, in other words that you
are permitting Cheeley to make your
defense. You are foolish to do that,
gentlemen. The time is ripe for
somebody to tell the truth. We who
have paid the taxes want to know.
You have put your own friends in a
shameful position.
Another thing. Mr.. Bolander
seems 70 feel that this community
regards him as a man Outlawed.
This is not true. The whole COM
munity thinks that Mr.. Bolander
has been made a dupe, a cats paw,
that he has been deceived, but that
he has deliberately done anything
criminal or willfully wrong the COM
munity does not think for an in
stant. You, Mr.. Bolander, of all
men, this community expects to tell
the truth, and If You do this you
will have nothing but the apprOba-
ton of the whole community and
the respect which the community is
always willing to extend to man
willing to help public officers to the
end that justice shall be done.
Another matter should be care
fully considered. Mr.. Carlson in
his usual forceful and clean way is
doing everything in his power to see
that these matters are properly pre-
sented. To properly attend to this
matter a considerable sum OF money
s needed and the demands that Mr..
Carlson makes on the county COM
nissioners of this county for neces-
AIRY funds to present such criminal
ases as he may see fit to present,
hould be promptly met by the
Any refusal to appropriate
money for Mfr. Carlson or any re-
usHA ~ PAOs1uC AuuuSs tuNhNDy h"m-
'ering and limiting him, will meet
With condemnation. While this
is not indicative there
S no doubt that it is getting in
ensely earnest in this matter.
Gentlemen, those WHO expect cute
md foxy lawyers to enable them to
,ide-step retributiOn are relying on
,roken reeds. The only way for You
20 square yourselves with your
selves, your friends and your
aeighbOrs. is to tell the truth and
II you will be men and tell the
truth you will never cease to con-
gratulate yourselves on such happy
Rely on lies and evasion
and you will regret it to your dying
day, regardless Of the results of
trials. The vital thing is not whe- |
ther you are found guilty OF not,
but whether you square yourselves
with yourselves. There is but one |
way to do that. Will you do it?
You have golden opportunity yet
before you: may you have the oour-
age to take advantage Of 1t.
