After all has been said pro and
con about the killing of Nieholoas
ehickeres by an officer last week. we
think public opinion viii come to
about this conclusion: an officer
should wear some badge so that when
he demands surrender there need be
no doubt In the minds OF the person
on whom the demand Is made that he
is confronted by an officer OF the law;
that when such demand is made by
an officer no innocent man Is ever
going 10 be harmed and seldom ineon
yenieneed, and the latter is small
compared to the protection rendered;
that when a man refuses to halt un-
der such circumstances. the officer
has a right TO halt him with such
means as he has at hand, but such
efforts should be with due regard
for human life; the officer should not
kill. II he can avoid IL. On the other
hand il must be remembered that
the man who starts out to convey
liquor into this state is knowingly
defying the law Of the state, the Of
fcer is upholding the law OF the
state; attempts on the life OF the Of
iieer are defiance of law, attempts to
stop the fugitive. even II shooting Is
resorted TO. are in the line OF official
duty. while all will regret that hu-
man life has been sacrifice, IL should
be remembered that the man was alb
solutely engaged in an unlawful bus
mess. that one OF his pals attempted
10 run over the officer with an auto
mobile, and il will seem to the av-
erage person that some OF the eriti-
cism might well be aimed at the man.
II bootleggers were a little more care
fnl OF obedience to legal require
ments and had more regard for the
sacredness OF human life and limb,
We might feel more SORROW when the
things they do involve them in dis
aater

The punishment Of Mooney has
been changed from death to life i'm
prisonment This does not satisfy
Mooney. who says that lie should eli
ther hang or be set free II not gull
ty he should be set free, il is true;
bat the jury has said he was guilty,
charges are made that the case was
a frame up against Mooney. the gov
ernor takes enough stock in the story
TO stay The death penalty, but he is
not so convinced that he will turn
Mooney loose, He Is wise Some one
planted the bomb. some one is guilty.
II the friends OF Mooney had more to
say in condemnation OF the crime he
would have more sympathy There
is good reason for believing that
Moneys friends do not want the
guilty party punished
