every man who believes in fair play

This paper holds no brief for tn.
defense of Barney O'Neil. His posi-
ton IS the fulfllment of the natural
law that man must reap what he
sows. SO far as O'Neil Is concerned,
the popular feeling is that the law has
been vindicated and that If the con-
victed banker is required to serve 4
term as contemplated in his indeter-

melted out.
Bearing in mind the controlling
owner Of the Press Times and his re-
lations with the defunct bank, the
editorials on O'Neil stand without a
rival as an example of brazen effront-
cry and abject cowardice.
The editorial that brands O'Neil a.
