The Sheriff said:“ Such traitors should be driven fromthe country. They should have been arrested and an example made of them. While I am the chief peace officer of this county, all my deputies and special deputy sheriffs will be authorized and instructed in the future to arrest these flagrant disturbers of the peace and violators of law and order.•• The principles of the old warrior,John A.

I am a firm believer that no other but the American flag ought to be displayed on publio occasions and that it Is seditious to trample upon, desecrate, and dishonor the flag of our country.** The sooner these Anarchists, bomb throwers, dynamiters, and un-Americansare acquainted with the doctrines of the country and made to uphold them, the better for them and theirs.
