Editor, THE TRIBUNE:
Dear Sir
Isn't it about time that tho decent
citizens of this town awoko to tho
conditions morally as they are, and
did something to purge the city of its
corruptions? Isn't it about time that
the officials of the law who havo
sworn to enforce tha law either per
form their dutiess or get out of of
fice? Isn't It about time that boot
leggers, gamblers and rooming house
habitues are given to understand that
the citizens of this town will not
stand for continued flagrant violat
ions of the law, for tho flaunting of
vico publicly?
North Platte is acquiring a namo
far from enviable among the cities
of Nebraska, a name of a "Wide-Open
Town." And it Is wide open to gam
blers, boot-leggers, harlots and pimps.
Its lack of law enforcement Is com
mon talk. It Is becoming a conven
ient resting place for all violators
of the law.
Isn't it about time that her citizens
treat tho boot-legger, whether he bo
procurer, purveyor or purchaser, as
an outlaw In the "same class with the
thug and the murder? Isn't it about
tlmo that her citizens stop laughing
at the' Consitution of the United
States and begin to demand law en
forcement, respect for vested author
ity? Isn't it about time that we as
citizens assert our manhood and wo
manhood and drive the "scum" to
cover?
Tho crowning act of infamy was the
outrageous action of some man or
men (moro properly called male ani
mals) who furnished liquor on which
a number of tho members of the foot
ball team becamo drunk last Thurs
day night. The members of the team
should be pitied for their weakness.
Tho men who plied them with liquor
should bo driven from North Platte
and threatened with a public horso
whipping in tho Court House squaro
If they ever returned.-In our estim
ation tho proper action which the
school board should take In the mat
ter is to servo notice that if at any
futuro time any athletic team rep
resenting the North Platte High
School betcomes (trunk all Inter
schoolastlc athletics for a period of
years will bo cancelled. That would
euro It.
The writer knows that this letter
will not be popular with a certain
element in North Platte, but he raises
tho question, "isnt lit about tlmo
someone Is. willing to sacrifice his
popularity (such as it Is) for tho good
of tho community." As far as ho Is
concorned, ho classes all bootleggers
with tho thugs, harlots and murdor
ersAll of tho them violatcrs of the
law of tho nation.
Respectfully Yours,
C. Franklin Koch
