| Show MORE LIBERAL LOGIC SAVE us from our friendel I might reasonably seasonably eason ably be the cry of decent members of the liberal Li berall faction bionto tion to the enforcement of df the laws of the territory for the preservation of public decency and order is enough to expose any party to public odium yet this is the present attitude of the chief champions of the liberal organization and it to is carried to the extreme of actual abuse of the officers of the law sworn to uphold and aid in its execution more than that the auger anger of the assailants of those officers la Is carried to the verge of idiocy it is still argued that the officers instead of arresting lawless saloon keepers caught in the commission ot of crime should have told them to shut up and not do it auy any more now where in the name of common sense does either law i or custom 0 or r official authority require a constable when lie he sees a 0 offense offence committed to turn lecturer and judge at once and after explain explaining ling the wrong tell the culprit not to do it again agaid the law and his oath require blin to arrest the to lawbreaker vv and convey him before judicial authority 4 it is still objected that the arrest of lawless saloon keepers should not have been made be cause the officers making the capture have nob seized any holdups hold ups and footpads that is to say because one class clam of criminals not seen by the officers have so far escaped offenders detected in the commission of crime must not be arrested A child who would contend for this would be thought deficient in ordinary intelligence next we are informed that persons who for the purpose of proving a case against a lawless law lees saloon keeper call for liquor over his bar on a sunday are criminate criminals as bad as himself and therefore the lawless saloon keeper 10 ought not to be arrested more or jn in other words liberal logic logics 9 the violator of the sunday law must go scot free because 1 it is M at al the officer who uses the only means of proving a case against him partook of his bis offense in doing so go softening of the brain must be the cause of such attenuated drivel it to is within the memory of some of the most recent settlers in this city that il lawless saloon keepers keepe rsVP detected in their violation 0 ol 01 the city ordinances escaped puni punishment nt because the complainants nants could not swear positively that what was sold over the bar was a drink that is commonly known as intoxicating in these cases the detec detect tion was complete and was made in the only way to perfect it that is why the liberal defenders of lawlessness kick so hard we are brought to task because it is alleged we dodged the point that the deputy marshals failed t ta stop offend ers era in view by neglecting to notify those in charge of saloons found open to close them Is that so well let us see here is in what we said according to liberala Li berall logic 19 no 0 officer of the law should arrest a sol saloon 0 n keeper who breaks the law unless the saloon goes to the officer no io gambler should be arrested unless the gambling gamblin ana house goes to the policeman and further when a criminal is detected in his crime the officer instead of arresting him should kindly warn him to quit and that what he is in doing is in violation of the law detectives tec tives tive on this the theony orty would be played out pence peace officers would have a new occupation and sheriffs constables and policemen would become evangelists of the law instead of lie ite executors does the law authorize the united states marshal and his bis deputies to preach or to lecture lawbreaker law breaker or to warn them of what they are doing no it says they shall each of them cause all offenders against the law in his bis view to enter into recognizance ni zance 1 not much dodging in that the dodging is all on the other side the territorial statutes sta tures make the opening or maintaining of ofa place where liquor is sold on a sunday a in ade adde meanor now will the liberal defenders of the lawless jawless keepers ers J without dodging show us their authority jor for limiting officers of bf the law to giving those lawbreakers a warning to close up does not the law require the officers to arrest armst offend ers era in their vJ view ow if an officer saw a footpad holding apol up a citizen if the former course be proper should he warn him that his act was mw unlawful aWfUl or should he arrest him OB an the spot if so why should not any other offender m his view be treated to EO a lecture or warning instead of being belag arrested there to is one more quee question tion why were the marshal and his deputies applauded for doing their duty dutt when they arrested offenders whom the police would not touch in ogden and are now berated and maligned by py the same persons because they have halfe done the same thing in salt lake city citi this should be answered ans without dodging or the assailants assa floats of the officers should hold their peace and sensible liberate should put a zie on the helpers who seem to have lost thief their r senses in their rage at the Pip enforcement af the laws |
