LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


Mr.. Editor; L have read all the letters
that have appeared in your paper for many
months and have arrived at the conclusion
that nearly all the writer's see the faults
of the people as a whole but they do not
attempt to give a remedy. What is the
use Of fatItt fnding unless one has some
specific cure for it? We have enough of
destructive criticism but very little con-
structive kind Which will make the ountTy
better and nobler one
Man was not made by the Creator to
dwell on the earth to destroy everything
that does not conform with his beliefs
or political views. He was created to helt
make the world a better place to live III
withou regar tgof nationality. Unless we
are doing that we are missing our voca-
ton in life and should start over again.
1t Goes not matter what your occupation
| is, everyone can do something towards
making it better by l-racticing the CHI
| en- Rule. Remember there is solution for
| every problem that yolI come in contact
with if you work hard enough to fathoqn
| it out
! In Mr. Balkans letter in Saturday s
Bulletin, he is, evidently, asking questions
| which he really answers himself The
+, foreigner that comes to America may BIZ
what he says, the scum OF all Euro e,
| but he does not entieavor to say that q
+ great many of the early colonists thai
| came to settle here in the Seventeenth
| and eighteen century were, in a large
majority OF cases, convicts in their OWL
country and were sent to prison in Amer
lea. l notice they were the fathers o
the founders of our country, the ones
who made the country what is stands TO
TO-DAY.
| Perhaps the fore gner is the one who i
breaking the Volstead act as far as ped
ding Illegal liquor is concerned, but how
al5dt the one who buys it? Is he no
breaking the law equally as we'll l
there were no markets there would be n,
breaking of the prohibition law Tn
majority of the consumers are not tn
foreigners. We should make the consurn
ers of illegal liquor just as guilty as tn
seller of it. Perhaps that would help t.
curtail the traffic to some extent Furth
er'more we should make fewer laws but tn
laws we make should be made with fewe
Aocpholes. There is no law made tina
a shrewd person cannot crawl through 0
else employ a shrewder person than he
to make his escape. Is It not just as il
legal to make UP a document that is i
reality unla wful but which conforms wit
the law Are not the persons who com
nit this act just as criminal as the on
vino is actually arrested and sentence
/ Tor similar acts The majority, hert
are not Of foreign extraction
What are we doing to make the foreg
element better citizens? Are we teachn
him the laws of our country? Are we CON
pelliT1g him to learn our language SO tina
he can grasp the primary facts of on
laws? Are we teaching him Obedienc
an drespect for OUT laws when he sees pen
sons who are actually lawbreakers goin
free just because they are shrewd or els
have enough money to escape from justic
,Justice Is a word that implies a great de;
but it does not mean something that
| abstract in quality. 1t is the dealing
all with the same measure of lTaInisfmer
or privilege.
