EVIDENTLY THE SHOE P1NcHEs

a. 49,, ..-.
lIf the Post article of last week con.
cerning- lsome violations of Glenwood
ordinances got under the hide with
some of the parties concerned as is evi
IDENTIFY the case, judging from the up.
roar made about it, the Post is in no.
wise to blame and we certainly have
no apology to make for giving the peo,
pie the news. a newspaper is not a
maker, but recorder of news, and it
depends upon the people who consti.
tute the community as to the characte,
of the news which is put before the
people.
Judging by the bellyaching concern.
ing our article and the way one of our
critics made fool of himself on the
street this week we infer that some Of
the parties interested must have Dor.
rowed the Post from someone who pays
for it, and thus enjoyed some real news.
As to the gratuitous and unwarrant-
ed slnrs. of the Carbondsle Item whica
assures US that it is not standing IN
defense of local lawbreakers, but Just
making inquiries as to why the. names
Of 6lenwood parties were suppressed,
We can only say there was NO disposi
tion to suppress and We did not know
ingly suppress the names of anyone
brought into court and charged with a
violation of the laws
As to the strained remark that n
young man in question was not charged
with "bootlegging," but only with
passing bottle" to some friends ON
the street, We rise to remark that boot
Logging, like charity, covers multi
tude of sins and if passing a bottle,
etc., is not bootlegging it is very
near relative in the estimation Of those
who are not engaged in splitting hairs.
We don't understand that the parties
in question were under any necessity
to break our laws, but having elected
to do so they would have much better
standing if they would take their medi-
cine without SO much beefing about it.
The Post is not in the business of
making accusations upon hearsay or
guesswork for the purpose of injuring
or embarrassing anyone. In the case
in question we are depending partially
on knowledge obtained from personal
observation and partially on pleas of
guilty entered in police court. Pre-
sumably the parties knew what they
were talking about and If they had
been wise they would have dropped
the mstter - quickly and easily ~
possible and would not have called
forth this article.
