Gavord confessed, Detective Reid
says. to his part in the crime, but
declares that he had no part in the
assault, merely acting as outside
picket while Percy Finningsdorf and
Leroy Ellsworth entered Jarvis
apartments. He admitted that he
shared in the loot, and told the po
lice where they could recover some

full confession when taken to

that there are quite a number Of let

thick and thin, but these steadfast
people are not listened to as much as
those who set the sails to go with the

hackers such as Buchanan? We can
easily imagine what the result of the

meek Day Book which is prepared to
follow wherever it goes would be in
short order.

to be heroes in war.

JUSTICE.-I would like to ask Mr..
Greedy Baker when justice became
the ruling feature in the U. S. gov
eminent. I am in favor Of law and
government where justice reigns, but
when judgment is rendered in favor
of the man who has the most money
in his pOcketbOOk then I want to be
somewhere else when justice is hand
ed out.
Was John D., one of your northern
blue bloods, within the bounds of civ
ilizatiOn when he sent his hired gun
men to Colorado to kill helpless
women and children because their
husbands refused to work for star
walton wages? A short time ago $50
girls were burned to death in a New
York shirtwaist factory like rats in
a trap.
The owner was brought up in court
and fined IA cents a head. A noble
example of northern justice, who
boast they are at the highest point
in Christian civilization. The whole
civilized world sits in judgment on
Georgia because the citizens avenged
the wronging of a helpless 14-year-s
old girl.

know that Mr.. Cochran is a fight
er for right, but am surprised to see
such editorials as of Aug. "A in The
Day Book which stands to the prin-
ciple Of doing good to fellow humans.
Of course, it is a good thing for
newspaper to be guided by the Opin-
ions Of the general public, but regard
ing the possibility Of war, now con-
fronting Us-whO made the public
opinion that would feel satisfied with
having war declared? The lingo
press. Why then should The Day
Book take instruction from such pub
lie opinion? 1t would be a good thing
for The Day Book to help create pub
lie opinion. U. S. Congressman Blu
chanan, who made the address at
RiVerVieW Sunday, Aug. Fl, expressed
mind which is an ideal public Opin-
ion. He said that if he can do a lit
tie to guard off war by U. S. he feels
that he has served his coUtry well.
Some people say that we should not
worry, but leave it to the president
to settle the great question now con-
fronting US. I can't do that. I can't
allow the president to think for me
in such an important question as
war or peace"
That attitude is an example of
sound citizen-faith. I have an idea
