THE JOY OF THE BELIEVER
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous, and shoilt
for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psalm 32:11.

\ A Peril Greater Than
'r* The Guns of Outlaws
Without minimizing in any way the tragedy of Friday
^morning, or the importance of capturing or killing the hand-
\ '.ti'ul of desperate men, whoever they are, who are responsible
\ Jor this and other murders, The Herald takes this opportunity
\ of calling the attention of Borger citizens once more to a peril
even greater than the guns of outlaws.
This peril threatens every man, woman and child in the
city. It will creep upon them by night silently, and by day
> unseen, and strike them down, unless steps are taken soonr
very soon, to effectively fight it.
' Herald readers know what this peril is. It is pestilence.
•Pestilence will rise from the half-open cess pools and the un-
___ _kempt surface toilets of Borger to slay the citizens. It will
Hf_ not confine itself to those who are careless of the condition
:of their premises; it will not sweep only the dirtiest parts of
city; but it will be upon high and low, on clean and un-
clean, on all who breathe the air of Borger.
City officials will undoubtedly soon institute a campaign
to clean the town and keep it clean, making temporary san-
itary arrangements pending installation of sewers. Every
citizen of Borger must, if called on by the city officials to do
•so. co-operate to the fullest extent. In this way, and in this

• They have emphasised
,t there has beta no gathering of
e national committee in two years
and that steps should be taken to
get he national organization intp
beter working order.
.Mr. Butler said he had planned
such a journey, as he is about to
make, during last January, but
abandoned the idea at the time be-
cause congress was in session and
many political leaders with whom
he desired to confer were not in
their states at that time. He said
he had decided upon a plan of
traveling from state to state rather
than to visit a central point and in-
vite the leaders to confer with him
there.
The national chairman is expected
to give particular attention to con-
ditions in border political states,
but the extent of his activities in
territory where the names of Prank
O. Lowden, of Illinois, and others
have been brought out aa possible
opponents of Mr.. Coolidge for the
republican nomination is not made
clear at thlB time.

Enforcers of the law in the

their own hands and shoot to

that they are doing so

when they are pitted against
, such men as those now ter-

itation is fatal.
Public opinion will back the
officers to the limit in what-
ever drastic measures they
choose to take just now. There

clearly established in court,
and then let a jury of their

But let the officers take no
more chances for the sake of
making bloodless arrests. Let
them get their men, dead or

WASHINGTON, April 2—(AP) —
After a conference with President
Coolidge, William M. Butler, chair-
man of the republican national com-
mittee, announced today that he
would begin a country-wide survey
of the republican political situation
beginning about April 15.
The national republican chairman
plans to be on the road about a
month and while his itinerary has
not been fully worked out, he said
he would visit Pacific coast states
as well as those northwest, confer-
ring with national committeemen,
state chairmen and other party
leaders.
Asked if one purpose was the
Scott,j sounding of sentiment on the ques-
tion of the recommendation of Presi-
dent Coolidge next year, Mr. Butler
said candidatos were not being con-
sidered at this time; that the idea
was to tighten up the party machin-
ery!'. * J': J.
