Court Does Good Work
■
With the aid of a capable and
fearless grand jury, Judge Cook
and District Attorney Brewer did
a work in this city last week that
should bear fruit for years. ^
Public sentiment is against
gambling as well as against whW
ky selling, and the people will
back up the courts in suppressing
the evils. For the first time in
several years the grand jury, in
spired by the forceful charge of
Judge Cook arod capably and vig
orously assisted by Mr. Brewer,
were successful in digging infor
mation out of unwilling witness
es, resulting in the finding of
thirtysix indictments, the large
majority of which, it is under
stood, are for the offences men.
tioned.
In this the officers of the law
have done well, and their work
will have the unqualified endorse'
ment of every good citizen.
It is not to be understood, how
eyer, that because thirty-six in
dictments wero found by the
grand jury in one week that Wa*
ter Valley is a hot bed for in
quUy, or that vice and disorder
run rampant in the community,
for no sucu condition does or has
ever prevailed. This city is much
like other places of its size, prob
ably worse than some and cer
tainty better tbau muiy.
