The Courier is ready to do it's full
part, but we are not ready to assume
responsibility for bringing in public
print charges that we could not sus-
tain by testimony Of our own knowl-

Heretofore We have simply laid
aside communications Of this nature
with no comment. We feel that 1t is
time to say, once for all, that we must
decline publication Of personal
charges against any one unless the
authors Of the letters in which the
charges are made are willing for
their signatures to appear, assuming
responsibility for the matter.
We must and do courteously de-
cline to take up personal matters Of
this kind, even where they concern
our government. Let the charges be
made and fully substantiated before
the ones whose official du ties require
them to take up and Investigate such
matters. We will be glad to aid in
