COMMENT over
WEST VIRGINIA
LET JUSTICE BE DONE.
From the MorpantoWn Post.)

The Logan county grand jury has
done it's duty Indictments charg-
ing first degree murder were return
cd Saturday night against 125 men
following the jury's investigation
into the disorders growing out of
the recent armed insurrection in
southern West Virginia. Among
those indicted on the murder
charge were c. Frank Keeney, pres
idcnt of district II, United Mine
Workers of America, and Fred
Mooney, secretary Of the same or
ganization.
1t may be assumed that the jury
heard evidence which has not been
given publicity The prosecuting at
torney of Logan county made o
thorough investigation to determine
responsibility for the armed marc-
which necessitated the dispatch Of
federal troops into this state This
investigation undoubtedly disclosed
evidence which bears more directly
upon the fixing of responsibility for
the instruction than the general
accounts given in the newspapers.
ertainly, the jury would not nave
returned blanket indictment
charging such a large number of de-
PENDANTS with the most serious
crime on the statute books unless It
had heard evidence of such charac-
ter and weight as to make it feel
there was strong probable cause to
believe the men are guilty of the
charge on which they must stand
trial.
Law abiding and peace-loving cit
liens of West Virginia will now eX-
pect vigorous and capable prosecu-
ton of the murder charges and the
pistol-toting charges, indictments
charging the latter crime having
been returned against more than 200
men. The United Mine Workers
will secure the most capable counsel
the country affords. Prosecuting
Attorney Chafin. of Logan county,
will undoubtedly have associate
counsel to assist him in diliSent
and intelligent handling of the
cases. Justice must be done. Some
one 6 responsible for the arouSing
OF 5000 men to the point that they
armed themselves and started & war
like march across the southern part
of this state in direct violation IF Il
dozen laws. Perhaps the men indict-
ed are not responsible, but there
must be no rest for the officials IN
the disturbed area until the guilty
have been found and punished West

It's an i'll wind that blows NOBODY
some good The arrest by Federal
officers on the street Tuesday night
OF town man who was walking

tie bulging out from his coat,

The general school fund of the coun-
ty could stand considerable replen-
ishing. All bootleggers and parties
carrying excessive quantities of in
toxicating liquors, If apprehended
by State officers as police
men and deputy sheriffs and con-
stables shall be tried before JUS
tice of the peace on misdemean-
or charge If found guilty and fined
the fines go to the school fund. The
alleged multiplicity Of bootleggers
and whiskey "toters' could easily
be made to pay FOR the support Of
the county schools. 1t was remarked
that if a man is liable to arrest for
carrying a quart an officer could
walk up and down the principal
streets and pick UP any number
any night. Whether this be true or
just supposition depends upon APP

Not long ago several car drivers
were arrested for running their ma

We presume the gentlemen so I'M
tremendously brought to the mercies
of Judge Ellis paid their fines and
went home. SO far as we know, no
one has been harmed by any car run
ming with but single light; there
have been no dangerous accidents.
Still the traffic laws of the city state
that cars shall have two lights in
! front-the cars were breaking the
law-hence the arrests were made.
We are glad to see the police depart
ment enforce the city ordinances this
way, that is what a city ordinance
and police department are for. But
! somewhere in the records of the fair
city Of Bozeman there is an ordinance
passed, so recently as last spring,
after all danger Of good snow storms
was over, relating to cleaning side
walks and making them passible to
the public. No one has ever heard

few years. And having been found
they're not going to be so easy to

is going to be such a thing as eff

killing time, botching work, all these
practices are going to be thrown into
