The Gladstone League Committee have sent us a description of

five cases which, after careful inquiry and investigation, they allege to be cases of political intimidation. They have made in these cases "grants to the victims." In our opinion, those who direct the Gladstone League have no right as good citizens to stop here. If they really believe that they have found cases of political intimidation, they are under an imperative duty to prosecute and do their best to bring the authors of such intimidation to justice. We have dealt with the matter so fully in our correspondence columns already that we cannot, in their present congested condition, again open them to this subject.
