BELIEVES IN
PUNISHING THE MAN

From some OF the recent de-
cisions of Mayor Jo +. Williams, sit
ting as Judge OF the police court, it
appears that he is reversing the
usual order OF placing all the blame
on the woman and allowing the man
to go unScathed. This morning he
had before him the case of a man
and a woman charged with loiter-
ing. He fined the man SIS and dis
charged the woman who was but lit
tie more than a girl, admonishing
her to go and sin no more.
Otis Freeman, charged with re-
ceiving money with which to buy
whisky, had his case transferred to
the county.
w. II. Williams was charged with
unlawful possession of whisky and
had deposited cash bond of SIS.
This was forfeited as the man did
not appear for trial. He was arrest
ed with the whisky at the union sta
tion.
There were three cases of drunk
enness and one for disturbing the
peace, and a fine OF $40 was imposed
on each OF the defendants.

JOHNSON TAKES A SLAM
At j. s. RUSS POLICY
AND WANTS TROOPS OUT
VARDAMAN OF MISSISSIPPI
COMES IN WITH DEFENSE
OF BOLSHEVIKI

Washington, Jan. ia resolu-
tion to record the senate as favoring
Withdrawal OF American soldiers
from Russia "as soon as practicable"
was introduced today by Senator
Johnson of California, with an as
Sertion that the United States gov
ernment evidently had no Russian
policy and was inviting disaster.
Senator Johnson asked that MS
resolution remain before the SEN
ate for further discussion and dis
posal later this week. He charged
that the resolution he introduced
month ago demanding official an
nouncement OF the governments
Russian policy, had been bottled
up by the foreign relations com
mittee, and that he proposed to get
action on the new one now Offered.
at is obvious" said Senator
Johnson, that we have no policy in
Russia, and that the government
can't answer my former resolution.
1t hasn't any policy at all in Russia
today. We're not intervening in SUI
6cient force to be OF any conse-
quence and we're not staying out.
We're simply inviting disaster"
Senator Nardaman OF Mississippi
followed with defense OF the Rus
sian bolSheviki. Disclaiming APPROX
al OF lawlesSneSs or violence, he said
that when all the facts were known
there would be mitigating circum-
stances found for the bolsheviki.
Their conduct" he said. is no
more illegal or represensible than
thar OF their soulless, constituencies
predecessors. If the toierS become
excited and rise in their might, it is
not surprising that they go to ex-
ceSseS.'
Russian bolshevism, said Senator
Nardaman, was caused by rich op-
pressorS and famine, and he felt
pity for "the ignorant. bolSheyiki.'

THE JUDGE
BACKS UP
(Editorial)

Like the celebrated King OF
France, Judge w. F. Freeman,
marched up the hill and then
marched down again
No citizen of Garter county
was more anxious to have A
grand jury called than was he;
none so overjoyed as he when a
petition, drawn up by him, bear
ing the necessary signatures
was presented to him; no one
could have called a grand jury
more quickly than he - The
quicknesS OF its summoning be
ing exceeded only by the celer-
ity with which at one stroke OF
the pen he attempted to undo
the work OF his own creation.
Why? What indictment, Mr..
Freeman, did that body fail to
return that made it in your
opinion famous rather for its
dereliction than for any act
worthily done?
After spending about hall a
million dollars OF the peoples
money, Carter county roads are
in worse shape than those in any
neighboring county where prac-
tically no money has been spent.
AS a result OF the deliberations
and Investigations made by that
body all county commissioners
are now out Of office with indict-
mentS over their heads, That re
suit alone more than justified
the calling of the grand jury,
and should cndear that body to
the citizens of the county for
its fearless action.
Luckily for Carter county,
Judge FreemanS act is as impo-
tent as his action is unexplained.
As outlined in another column,
Russell Brown, the incoming
county attorney, says, Judge
>Freeman's act is void, and is tax
ing steps to have all the indict-
ments reinstated.
