JUST \ CASE OF MORAL AND
POLITICAL COWARDICE.
ditor News-Times:

Editor News-Times:
The most shameful subversion Of
justice and disgusting spectacle Of
cowardice or political trucking that
has affronted the decent, law-re-
speeding citizens of South Bend for
a long time, took place in the city
court Thursday morning. A hundred
or more parishioners Of ST. Adal-
bert's Roman Catholic church abb
scented themselves from their usual
duties to storm the city hall openly
Boosting OF their violation OF the
law, defying the authorities 10 nc
lest them therefor, and tlen decked
with flowers their embattled priest
who had chosen TO assume the silly
pose Of a martyr.
If the affair had gone no further
IL might he dismissed as nothing
more than ridiculous horse-p play
from a source which has come TO be
more or less well known for similar
demonstrations. The part which
chagrins the law-respecting citizens
Of South Bend is this, that not even
the actual presence Of this aggrega-
ton. but merely the heralding OF its
approach. was sufficient 10 COW the
authorities who are responsible for
the maintenance OF law and respect
therefor; 10 COW them so completely
that case which had every foun-
dation in law and in fact was dis
missed by the prosecution with an
explanation that not only does not
explain. but of itself convicts those
authorities Of moral cowardice and
political trucking of the most obvi-
Gus nature.
DR. Freyermuth explains that the
case against FIR. Kubacki for viola
ton OF the closing order issued dur
ing the emergency created by the
influenza ban, was dismissed because
the emergency has now passed and
the purpose OF the action has been
accomplished" Acting Deputy Prose-
cut0r u. y. Kenneth who seems 10
have taken over Mr.. SchwartZ's du-
ties in the city court since the lat
ter became busy with his campaign.
declared that not only the priest but
the entire congregation should have
been arrested for the violation. and
since this was obviously impractical
BILE he counseled the dismissal OF the
case Claptrap and sOphistry, as
Kenneth and his superiors in the
prosecutors Office well know
The facts and the law stand out
very clearly. No one questions the
authority OF the health board legal
~ 10 close places OF public assembly
under the stress OF public necessity.
That authority is founded on law
and under IL both the state and the
local boards OF health decreed the
closing OF churches rs well as other
places during the emergency. Ku-
back is the only clergyman in South
Bend TO violate the order others
doubted its expedience. and argued
for its modification, but observed

it othe letter. meanwhile. Kubacki
not only violated the order, but
openly boosted Of his lawlessness.
proclaimed himself a martyr, which
was egregious foOlishness, of course,
and not being content with that,
made a vicious attack upon the au-
thorities.
The dismissal of the Kubacki case
IS an affrOnt TO the community ia
general and in particular to those
law-respecting clergymen who obey
ed the rule despite their clear con-
victions against the necessity of it.
And here enters the viciOusness of
the example in this case. A vener-
ated cleric, too highly honored in
his own church and m the entire
community 10 be named even In
contrast with the priest of St Adal-
bert's in this connection, took oc-
casion TO explain his personal posi-
ton regarding the closing order
when he resumed services last Sun
day. Regardless of his own con-
scientious reluctance TO close, this
ecclesiastic declared that now, Of all
times, it was the duty of the church
TO set the example in obedience TO
properly constituted civil authorities
and therefore, the order had been
rigidly obeyed in his church.
In the face of this example, the
priest at st. Adalbert-s sets himself
up above the civil authority, defy
ing punishment and glorying in the
publicity which his violation has
brought him. And only a short while
ago there was a great noise from out
St Adalberts way about law en-
forcement and prohibition.
The closing order was founded
upon law, or the citizens Of South
Bend were the victims Of tremen-
dOus hoax while they were conscien-
tiously obeying that order There
fore, there is but one Interpretation
to be put upon the dismissal Of Ku-
backi. The civil authorities have sur
rendered Internationally TO the rule
of St Adalbert's. And there is an
obvious reason for that abJect sur
render. Resistance might be strong
" reflected in the next election re-
turns from the district Of the martyr
priest" The returns would scarcely
be in favor OF any OF those present
authorities whose duty il is 10 see
that law is enforced and that cases
are properly prosecuted when evil
dence and law support them.
The population Of the west end
district of South Bend is closely
bound together racially and religi-
ously. The votes therefore, go in
large blocks. and competition for
these blocks is keen II is not so
/ long ago that a candidate for NUM-
cipaI Office publicly made the re-
mark In the course Of a political
! speech that so long as he was as
sured Of the support Of the west
end. he cared not how the Anglo
Saxon votes" That was a frank and
/ Ingenious avowal OF a fact which
undoubtedly exists in South Bend
politics. How long will law-respect-
| ing citizens stand by while public
servants place political expediency
so far above obvious duty that the
administration OF justice becomes a
farcical Juggling for influence and
