Herman S. Langford,
Mayor,
Attest:
D. L. Nance, ’ '
Clerk & Treasurer.
Some weeks ago W. D. Pelley, of
Indiana, leader of the Silver Shirt
gang, was indicted on a similar
charge. His punk little magazine
had already been barred from the
mails.
Both men now are where their like
should be-—in the clutches of the fed
eral government.
In the light of this conviction and
indictment many wonder why that
other preacher of sedition, a -political
parson named Coughlin, isn’t brought
before a grand jury. His scurrilous
sheet has been denied the mails. Al
ter it had been banned, he voluntar
ily withdrew it from publication. Lat
er, it was reported in the press that
a federal grand jury was investigat
ing Coughlin’s activities. To date
“investigating” is all that we have
heard about the case.
Government should not allow the
case to drop there. Coughlin is hot
immune from the processes of the
law because he wears the robe of a
priest. Be he priest or layman, the
man who, by his conduct, tries to ob
struct the war effort, who slings his
dirt at the president of the United
States and who belittles our armed
forces and lies about them as Cough
lin has done, should be compelled by
law to answer for his sins.
BRING HIM TO BOOK
A Chattanooga fellow named
Christians has been convicted by a
federal jury for uttering sedition
with intent to nndermine the war ef
fort.
