.Judge Hen Lindsay, nationally
known Denver jurist, is in a fair
way to make himself unpopular
with the class of Americans lie
refers to as "the substantially
well-to-do." In the Deliver court
over which lie presides, .Judge
Lindsay a few days ago, in refusing
to sentence two youths
convicted of giving liquor to girls,
raked fore and aft wealthy citizens
for keeping "well stocked
cellars," while "some poor devil"
is sentenced for drinking blind
tiger whiskey. "Our high society
our substantially well-to-do
people?are making a mockery
of the law," said .Judge Lindsay.
"They are the ones responsible
for this business and they furnish
the temptation to the unemployed
and the ignorant to engage in
it." There is soiue truth in what
.Judge Lindsay says, but. the effori
to excuse the man without
work or the "ignorant" (no one
111 in.* country is ignorant ol tlie
liquor laws) lor engaging in the
11<I ior business because the example
may have been set by some
one of better standing in the common
ly is reasoning too far fetched
to be indorsed generally. Lack
of employment justifies no one
in selling liquor. There ought to
be excuse for the man who finds
it neeesary to take bread that
does not belong to him to ward
off starvation, but a different
proposition is presented in tnc
ease of the man who breaks the
law of the land for profit, as is
always the incentive for liquor
selling. The injujstice of the enforcement,
or lack of enforcement.
of the liquor laws is found
in this?that the well-to-do ami
influential are not molested for
having liquor in their possession,
while the poor white man and negro
are haled into court for the
same offense. This is the fault
of the officers whose duty it is to
apprehend law violators and not
of the law itself.
"Never!" exclaims the Newberry
Observer in commenting on
l lie suggest ion that Governor I'ox
again be nominated by the Democrat
ie party for the presidency.
I'erhaps it \\;ould be poor politics
to again put up Governor Cox. I
luit there was nothing in his campaign
last year for the country
to he ashamed of. He was heateii.
just as any other Democrat
would have heen beaten, hut it is
doubtful whether any man the
party might have put forward as
its leaders would have done better.
One thing Governor Cox's
campaign proved was that he was
big enough to he president. Intellectually.
he outranked Harding.
For proof of the assertion
one needs hut to read the campaign
speeches of the two men.
One of the chief factors in the
defeat <d' Governord'ox was that
too many men and newspapers
which should have helped him
"lay down on the job." Perhaps
they scented Republican success
and wanted to be in position to
say that they did nothing against
the Republican nominee. j
In his final report to the war j
department, dated September 1, |
1010. Gen. lVrshhnr in recounting
tin pari taken by tlu* American '
army in winning the World war
gave the credit for breaking the
llindenhurg line to the 30th division.
composed of troops from
the Carolina* and Tennessee. But
now steps forward Weeks, secretary
of war. to say that the 27th
division (New York National
Guard) did as much to breach the
German fortifications as the boys
from' the South and that credit
for the achievement belongs in
cipiul degree to both divisions. ^
Ever since these two division* returned
-from overseas there has
been put forward by New York
newspapers the claim that this
great American victory was due
to the work of the National
Guardsmen from that State, and
. _ __ _ a #4.
u is pernaps not surprising aner
all that Weeks, bigoted Southhating'
misfit that he is, should
join in the effort to rob the
Southern soldiers of the glory
they earned and hand it over
to men who did little real service.
It must indeed be comforting to
the veterans of the 30th division
who made so many sacrifices and
risked so much to serve their
country to realize that the government
now in power at Washington
is too partizan to treat
them fairly. <
