Rut Judge Pritchard has been entirely
too prone to mete out Justice, even when
Justice interferes with politics, and the

The most favored aspirant in the field
today Is Claris Adams. the prosecutor
whose spineless policies and general fail
ures were so fragrant as TO make 1t unde-
sirable for him to seek denomination, as
is customary with a prosecutor.
Adams managed the ]. W. Fesler caEl-
paign in Marion County and was so busy
politically that he failed to prevent the
robbery of Fesler of thousands of votes
in the primary. even though he was pros
ecutor of Marion County
Whether Adams was then promised the

not known. but It now is very evident
that Adams is running well rs candi-

RIGID ORDER MADE
ON Gun TOTING."

Rigid instructions concerning gun
toting' have been issued and VIII De
followed 10 the letter.
Poolrooms and rOoming houses will
be watched closely and those found in
them viii be examined. The public will
understand that some OF these places
are the natural hang outs Of criminals
AMI thieves and that constant surveil-
lance Is necessary to keep such places
free from known thugs.
Particular emphasis Is laid on one
phase Of police and public cooperation.
1t Is that OF reporting suspicious per
sons 10 the police department. Do not
hesitate 10 inform HEADQUARTERS or ang
member Of the department IL you see
any person acting suspiciously. The de-
partment viii welcome such reports and
wiz Immediately make investigation Of
them. Without this aid on the part OF
the public, the department is without
leads.
1t IS a fact not generally known. per-
haps, that practically every clew leading
10 arrest and conviction OF criminals Is
some citizen. general cooperation 10y
the public In this way Will lead to in-
formation resulting In the arrest Of
those responsible for the robber1es Of
recent days.
We wish also to make one point very
clear. That Is the fact that although
merchants and others may have their
stocks fully covered by insurance. such
action does not excuse them from exer-
cising due care and precaution In pre-
venting loss. The operation by criminals
means that dangerous men are at large
on the streets and when on such a NILS
sion are armed and ready 10 commit
more serious crimes than burglary. Prop
er protection by merchants and others
who IRE cust0dIans OF valuable property,
though sometimes costly. Is essential to
the security Of others. In this connec-
ton we may state that one merchant Of
much experience customarily doubles his
force Of watchmen during tie Christmas
holidays when criminal Opera Ions nre
usually ut their height.
We believe with the proper cooPera-
ton Of the public and a comprehensive
understanding hy the public Of the
exiceDcies Of the moment that the po-
lice department Will fully meet public
expectatlons.
