Considerable time has been snant
by G. w. Patty in the earnest endeav-
or to assist at least two men down
and out" through alcoholism. one Of
them proving most interesting and on
coursging, while the other Isl none the
less interesting but more or less diff.
cult to handle. We are glad to know
that our office is becoming more and
more place to which these NOR fell
lows, the victims of the traffic, feel
disposed to come for encouragement
and help.
Conferences have been held with
prominent citizens in regard to the
formation OF a law and order move
ment which we think will in due time,
matefialize. though the opportune mo
ment does not seem to be quite in
sight. The former manager OF the
brewery is still at large and very lit
tie, II anything. is being done to bring
the fugitive to trial. In the meantime
public conscience IS outraged and the
course of justice is STAYED.
