The Wingham Times, 1896-04-10, Page 4E. WILLIAMS, REIVIxsT DRUGGIST. ACT. G,,r B. W. TELEGRAPH CO oppa Rrunswitt Douse. Wiugham, ,. ., Out Ektrdiug am dimes FRIDAY APRIL 10, 1693. Ul TIR TOWN. As citizens of Wingham, we are humiliated y six of our number being in -the cells with the awful ,,,, ,,� -.,rte„”' charge._ of tmurder hanging , over their heath, and the name of our towns passed from piaea to place and from mouth to mouth, as synony- mous with. immorality, mob -law, and lewd indifference on the part- of the citizens, nay, worse than indif- ference, far we are charged with trying to .cover up the crime and protect the guilty parties. We have gained amostunenvitible notori- ty anti anything we, as citizens, may say will have but llCtle effect either to increase or diminish the opprobrium which is being heaped upon us. Taking it in this light it will do no harm to our reputation, and will probably do us good if we stop for a moment and see where we stand. As citizens of the town we are bound to do justice to it. to pre- serve its reputation and interest our- selves in the welfare of those whore we may eall.friend or neighbor ; but as Canadians, as British subjects, we have a greater duty to perform ; we have a falter name to protect; and when one duty, seems to conflict with the other, when our PC ympathies would seem to interfere with our better judgment, it is necessary to take a • strong and Erni position, sacrificing even closer bonds than neighbor, that British law may not be impugn- ed and that. British justice and British liberty .may continue to be proverbial. This is the position in which many of • us stand to -day. We all deplore the unforlunn•(` circumstances that have placed these men in such a terrible position. We sympathize with them but more with their wives and families; bat these inen took the law into their own bands, recklessly and with a clear iknowledge that they were breaketir British lrj.w, wiiile,'professing to vitt•lf- cateit they must therefore bear the consequences. These men have been charged witb the awful crime of murder. Wt• cl.x not think that such a charge can be proven, but that is for a jury to d'eeide and while we do not condone the art, we would be recreant to our .. citizenship were we to refuse to use such means as we have in our power, le to . give these helpless, misguided. Much, an impartial trial, and to place at their disposat some one who 1 will properly look after their inter- ests. * •if It is argued by some, and they 1 are nbt a few, its mitigation of tee offenee, that' Field Was everything ;i. that Was brutish and vile: I do net •krataw slnything about;that, exeepting 't" vtn hearsay but 1 do know that if ''' i'a>e.was half as bad as some say he w as, that he was a most inhux ate e monster to whom punishment should - long ago, have been meted out. As .1 t,rsomparative stranger I say 1 do no '`',ltnow this to be a factand immediately I am tnet with half a dozen voices declaring they know he was guilty of all that is said of him. Then ,•fie question comes why did the; not liong ago affirm this and ask for ash justice. Every man or woman who knew of this thing and pt discreetly dumb is in a measure responsible .for 'ehe state of aiTairs things are itt today. Granting that Field was hell he has been painted, we anust remember that two wrong never make a right and We deplore the fact that it is argue. with all seriousness tit the law must be violated to 'clear up a cesspool of immorality.. To sum up iuy position I 'deplore th feet that these nett, 'through pervert ed idents of propriety and jt stiee were lead to take 'the law in thei. own hands. They as British sub jeers are entitled to able cannel but whatever punishment is in flieted upon titetn they have theist selves to blame for it. :sF je- * To one Who knows Wingleu only by what 'he has read in th Toronto papers, it must appear sehni-barbarotts hamlet; but wha must be the ideas regarding es, o those who 'have access to only sense tional American papers. Eycn a respectable citizens travel ou tet a engaged. We also pledge ourselves blatant ,conductor as being fro "Lyneh town." Some of these papers would leave th impression that nearly every ion in the town was woefully warped i their ideas of propriety and justice This •ot .course is all the veries nonsenee and only goes to show th. the country is posses.ed of a goo • proportion of ignoramuses and sensa tion lovers and that the city papers instead of using their influcne against this sort of a thing, eneour aged and pander to it for the sak of gaining for themselves a doubtiu reputation. But to be candid with out selves it must be adlnitted tha there is an element here, a small on let tt be hopeed, who have no respec for anything or anybody, who prid themselves on their rowdyism an who, because they Are crave cowards at heart, go just as far a they possibly can in order to escap from the clutches of the Iaw. Thi class, is wielding a greater infinene in the town than most people at willing to recognize, and it these acts a rowdyism are Winked at, if they are tolerated even, they are going to increase in influence and power, until they sap the life blood out of society, or end in another tragedy. Itis time for such persons to take warning and it is equally opportune for those who are in authority to cotyle down with the strong arra of ju5tit;e on those who are given to rowdyism of any kind. * ;r No matter what a man's position may be, financially, what his occu- pation, what his creed, to me, that MGR is entitled to respect so long a he keeps the law of the land and ha eqnal consideration and respect fo my position and creed. ; but when a main violates the law, he becomes law breaker, and forfeits that con- sideration to which he is otherwise entitled. Now it must be known to nine -tenths of the population here, that certain of our laws are contig= uallr violated, and, to use an expres- sion more literal than poetic::,], we can truly say they are broken "every clay •in the week and twice on Srtndays" I have not lived in the town as long as some other, but I know that this sort ofthin, is going on, Men who violate certain Jaws inay think there is no harm in it; neither did these men, now in Goderich jail, think they were doing much harm, but they must reap the fruits of mis- conception, and foolhardiness and se must every than do the saute, sooner or later. An unjust law, if such exist, should be repealed but neve wilfully broken. THE WIN AM TIM,4;: S, APRIL 10, t890, LIBERALS IN UNE.
