AN UNJUSTIFIED ATTACK.

Since the election and the knowledge that the
state is to go dry in about year, there has been
disposition upon the part of number of people
directly affected to get with those suspected
OF voting dry; especially has this policy been out
lined against a number of business firms in/Den-
yer, 1T being generally understood several promi-
nent concerns were lined up with the Sunday peo-
pie. While don't particularly blame those who
have been hit and their business ruined and their
savings and investments Jeapordized for retaliat-
ing the best and only way they can yet It seems to
me as il IT is little like locking the garage door
after the buzz wagon has been eloped with. The
time to have got in the work with all such
prior to voting day. and it that business peo-
pie didn't take the situation seriously enough. and
perhaps the managers of the wet campaign. and
great many in the liquor business also, overlooked
several bets. Any way, those who had their fu-
ture business prosperity shut off are now busy
along the lines OF Withholding patronage from sus-
pected ones, and asking their friends to do like
wise. In getting after the meat in the cocoanut
there seems to be difficulty in separating the
sheep from the goats, and should be taken not
to hit friend when enemy is aimed at have
in mind where believe an injustice is being
done | mention the firm of Gano- Downs the Six
teenth street clothiers. know OF my own per
sonal knowledge that this firm was wet and did
what they could along that line, both by voting
and talking 1t is probably true that few OF the
people employed may have been lined up with the
drys. but the big bulk OF their employees and the
heads of the firm did their part against fanatical-
ism and campaign against them is in no sense
fair or justified. little common sense and look
into the future would be very advisable in evening
up scores all along the line.

tary and treasurer OF the Michigan
Buggy Co, and for years regarded as
one OF Michigan's biggest business
men, left today for Fort Leaveuworth
where he will serve sentence OF two
years.
Palmer was recently convicted in
the federal court at Grand Rapids
upon charge of using the mails 10

sent TO banks a misleading statement
OF the affairs Of the Michigan Buggy
Co. This was revealed when tha De-
troit Trust Co. conducted an inquiry
into the affairs Of the buggy company
after II had failed last summer
Palmer declares he Is guiltless OF

Palmer is former St Joseph coun.

years ago, securing a position with
the company he later directed.
The failure Of the Michigan Buggy
Co. was one OF Michigan's biggest A.
nancial crashes, the liabilities OF the
company at the time OF the failure
being over 100000.
There are several indictments
against Palmer which will probably
never come TO trial.

Should the court, in its decision, de-
clare the act unconstitutional, IL
would knock out the entire reappor-

resentatives by the last Legislature,
and already there are many candi-
dates who have fled petitions under
the new districts allotted them. This
would, OF course, occasion no end OF
trouble in securing new petitions,

themselves canvassing for votes in

The attorney-general has already
ruled the act Is unconstitutional and
gave the legislature two rulings be-
fore It passed the act.
