He may be deprived of his office of Sheriff and also be disqualified from ever holding a similar position. Its no joke to fall into the clutches of Uncle Sam vhen he is angry. By the way. how is it that District Attorney Whittemore, who in times gone by was so diligent in the prosecution of people for almost imaginary offenses, refused to take aotion against the Merchants Protective association when urged to do so by the County Attorney? There was, at least in the opinion of the County Attorney, a fair show of establishing a case against the agency for using the United States mails unlawfully. If Whittemore would rid the community of the Luke outfit he would be doing the public some service in return for the. $5000 a year salary he . draws. It seems to the average man that a salary of $5000 a year is enough to se- cure the services of a prosecutor who, once in a while, could secure the conviction of somebody other than those who plead guilty.
