Inc cuitoT OF Lnc RECORD mas DecH
hung and ed-fguratively
speaking-from week to week in the
columns of the Free Press because he
has seen fit to rebel at the conditions
that are allowed to exist by the pres
ent authorities in this county. People
who are accustomed to drink intoxi-
cants when they so dcsiren nave fecn
informed that "Strcetcr wants to
keep them from getting drink when
they want it, The fact is that the
drinking of intoxicants can be accomp-
lished wholly within the Law. There
is no objection to shipping in liquor
for personal use. There is objection
and plenty of it in many quarters to
the idea of allowing a lot of black-legs
to live and thrive by habitually defy
ing the state law, and to do so with the
apparant connvancc of the person who
is sworn to uphold the law. When
promises of protection to blind piggcrs
will make it possible for grossly in
SS'''f'ht' anu ljNf 'oliS w o.
cure some Of the most important posi-
tions of public trust, things have come
TO II pass when the better class of the
county should wake up and take action
to end those conditions The Record
has seen fit to complain and the an
swcr Of the lawless element has been
the smcaring of the Record doorstep
with manure on two occasions. That
was 4 bad move, however, for the said
lawless element. If there was any
thing needed to spur us on to an ac-
tive fight for the stamping out of the
wholesale blndpigging operations ir
this county and the retiring of dishon,
est officials, it was just that move
1t is natural for private individuals
to put up with these rotten conditions
as long as possible without turning the
spleen of the organized law breakers
against them. But there comes time
when the worm will turn. There is
nothing but condemnation and disgust
to be heard on every side. Only &
fortnight ago Linton party had oc-
cusion to be in Hague. Out of curl
osity he entered the saloon of l.. p
Muenz and asked for beer, for wh!skey
and alcohol. Imagine his surprise tc
see Mucnz calmly go to keg an.
draw the alcohol ordered, and TO asl
whether the whiskcy wanted was to be
in bulk or bond. MucnZ is one of tn,
king-bcc bind-piggcrs of the count!
and he seems to bear charmed lif,
so far as the authorities are concerned
druggist Every effort has been mad;
by the townspcople of that place tt
make Fitzgibbon quit his blind-pig
ging Still, only a short time ago, tn
place was crowded until late hou
with dr,lnks who when asked to lcav,
would shout, Give us another drink.
But Fitz goes serencly on his way.
Now, in contrast down Mt Strasburl
has been one Wcndclin Bosch. Tn,
fellow is an epileptic and barely an
swers the description of human be
ing. Yet, Bosch gets hauled up ever!
now and then. The question is: VIII,

while the fellow, Bosch, gets nailed?

directions. Only last week our cor

Persons in attendance at the recent
term of district court state that the
Cou,t took occasion to call attention to
the apparant lack of enforcement Of
the prohibition law in Emmons county
fhe fact is that the public is no, in
terested in whether or not this man or
that is Il drinking man. Such a
right is provided by statute. But
there does come n time when compe-
tcrcy should be recognized, especially
when ranged alongside of gross incom-
potency. OF course, the rallying cry
of the Lynn workers will be whats
the difference? Lynn and Cameron
both use intoxicants." But that's not
the issue. There are two possible can
di'iatcs for the position of states at
torney next year. One is ludicrously
incompetent and even had to call in his
stcp-father to help conduct the Pettis
q and young lawyer just out of
school to make the closing address to
th" jury. The other is noted as a COM
pctcut, fighting lawyer in whose hands
the interests of the county are safe
How much more important such a
consideration than the gossipy discus
sion of whether or not Cameron takes
a drink when he wants it or whether
Lynn spends his nights playing poker
