Show We hare heard a number of comments com-ments on our editorials of last week in relation to tho liquor question, and xi number of our citizens liavo commended tho course wo have taken lu tho matter. Thoro has also boon eomo udvorso criticism. Ono person, per-son, with whom wo liavo had some conversation, on tho subject, said that ho thought it bad pol icy -to oritlciso bad conditions in tho local paper lost a bud Imprcsit-on should go out in relation to tho town. For our port wo would much rather that a bad impression should go out in relation U) tho town, thou that a bad hitun-tiou hitun-tiou should olitaiu within It; and wo bviliovo that ouo of tho suroet waye of maintaining a bad situation within tho town is to Jet tho laws bo trampled tram-pled underfoot without romonstinnco, and wrong go unrobuked. If pooplo aro afraid that u bad improsUon will go out of tho town in which thoy livo, lot thorn mo to it that tho laws of tho town nro uphold nud no wrongs -exist, and thoy need havo no fcara of n bad improsslnu going out in relution to it. Luw is never uphold aud maintained main-tained by bhiolding oither tho man who breaks tho laws or his nets. If you nro not ushamod to do wrong, why should wo bo uahamod to toll of It? If you aro ashamod to havo U3 toll of wrong, stop doing it nud a will stop talking about it. |
