A Marriage Of Justice.
Peoria Journal


How does it happen that in Peoria
county man strong, vigorous,
healthy. can deliberately shoot down
woman In, cold blood and then es-
cape paying the penalty on the gall
lows?
Does this signify that any and all
persons have a license to go on q
rampage thru the city and shoot down
whomever they meet. with the full as
surance that Justice, a weakened,
blind-eyed Justice, will pronounce
stumbling sentence upon them, one
that will offer several loopholes for es-
cape?
The citizens of Peoria were treated
to the farcical spectacle of seeing half
q dozen Of our prominent citizens. In
Guiding the mayor. called upon to tes-
tify to. the exemplary character OF the
murdered. They proved that In all
their long acquaintance with him. they
had never known him to be guilty OF
any violation Of the law and that at
all times he had conducted himself as
q peaceable, law-abiding citizen, an
honor to the community.
Did all this testimony change in one
lots the heinous nature of the bastard
", cowardly crime which he COM
n1ittesd? Mayor Woodruff might say the
same thing about any other man Of
the ten thousand that he knows, and
40 might Clerk Heinrich or Chief

right here that, in my opinion, where
you want to gravel or drag the roads
there should be two kinds Of drags
used namely. one that will have cut
ting edge made of steel and the other
what is known as the split log or King
road drag.
Use the one with the cutting edge
next to the bitches so as TO keep the
bitches cleaned and free from weeds
and trash and use the other drag near
the center of the road where the travel
is BY using both drags you will get
enough dirt cut loose from the out
sides Of the road and the King drag
will pack it against the gravel and thus
save the gravel from spreading out too
far
You will note in starting to gravel

seven miles graveled.
