On the day the report was printed
the Denver Post, with Lindsey lean
ings, had this to say:
at is an evidence Of the fair-mind-
edness Of the members of the commit
tee and it is direct rebuke to those
anonymous agents hiding behind the
Woman's Protective League and the
methods they brought with them from
the old days when the Beast ruled Den
yer.
'Never has judge or court been SO
covered with slime and mud as Judge
Lindsey and the juvenile court have
been covered by the circularizing
Bates Whitehead-Curti Prote ctivs
League.
when, on September Is, the COM
mittee OF three men and two women
was appointed by the Taxpayers AS
sociation to investigate Judge Lind
sey and probe charges made against
the administration Of his court, their
anti-Lindsey sentiment was acknow-
lodged.
1--WE were ready to hear charges
against Lindsey" said Major Vaughn,
and l told the judge that would GER
tainly find against him If the evidence
warranted. Any number Of men and
women have appeared before the COM
mittee and been glib with their
tongues, but when 1t came to pinning
them down with a written signature
and asking them to name witnesses
who would substantiate their charges
that was another story; they flew
out of the room.
"2'The judge explained his absences
from court at the public meeting Of
the association, and since no one can
be found who will come in the open
and fight, we consider the incident
closed and Denver Is well rid Of the
turmoil which the Womans Protective
| League has stirred up
"The Woman's Protective League
consisting of Dr. Elizabeth Bates, Rod
ney Curtis, former president of the
Tramway under the Evans manage
ment, and E. X. Whitehead, secretary
of the Bureau of Child and Animal Pro-
lection, has been moving heaven and
earth to get something on Lindsey
That they have failed and that circu-
lars made up from Jail records are not
to be relied on in the discussion or dis
posal of cases in the juvenile court is
proved by the finding OF the taxpay-
ers' committee.
1.-The investigation has served one
purpose said Major Waugh; it has
cleared the atmosphere. Now we can
all go to work together for the good
Of the city,"
| The Denver News says some Of the
members of the Taxpayers Associa-
| ton are in favor Of dissolving the Or
ganization because of the fight on
Judge Lindsey. This is from Harper's
Weekly:
His enemies thought he was sicker
than he was. When they found he was
able to present his own case, the pro-
liabilities OF attempting a recall van
ished. There never was anything in 1t
but oppression. There never was any
doubt in the mind of the awakened and
free part Of the population of Denver
that Ben Lindsey has done more for
the welfare of that city and Of its in
habitants, and of generations to come,
than the city can ever repay. Those
who attack him are those who think
they profit from system Ubiquitous in
its essence"
The Judges enemies have not been
given much space in the newspapers.
and practically all the editorial COM
ment and most of the news dispatches
are favorable to him-Literary Digest.
