The conscience of the citizenship of
Mid1letown is being gradually awaken
ed. The recent dry raids exposed stu
ations which great many people did
not believe existed in our town. The
town Board and law enforcement offi-
GERS are to be commended for the raids
that nave been carried out. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to back up In
every possible manner any effort that
is made to rid the town of the law
breaker and his unlawful practices.
The worthwhile individual will not
only respect his country's laws himself,
but will seek to breed in other people
similar respect. The social, civic,
fraternal and church organizations
should stand together as one body to
defend the Constitution of the United
States against any and all who would
SEEK 10 ruin lndL CIdTlcT Vi law anu
liberty. If we condone any offense
against established law, or if we treat
the matter alphabetically, we take our
place, not with the defenders OF liberty,
but with it's enemies. Impelled by the
motive of love to all and free from
any spirit of hatred. let us realize u
spirit of freedom such a, shall command
respect for the articles of freedom.
We cannot do more and we ought not
to do less, if we would be true 10 our
selves, to our neighbors, t, our country
and our God, law is the backbone of
civilization. Break it, and civilization
will fan IN twitchng heap. Law is
the guarantee of freedom and its only
sale defense. Law dlspenses the same
measure of liberty to all and forblds
the injury of any at the hands of an
other. Abraham Lincoln said: Each
individual is entitled to do as he pleases
with himself and the fruit of his labor,
80 far as it in no wise interferes with
any other mans rights" When We
tear down law we build up anarchy
Awake! guard your pl ecious possessions
which the law and Constitution gives
