Editor Herald-Review: In last Saturday’s issue of the Itasca County Independent there is an alleged editorial] on the late Gard- will stand forever as a monu-| ner case, so called, the editorial being eutitled Believing that the editorial in the Independent was inspired, written “Dangerous Sympathy.” ind published for a sivister e1d Mali- cious purpose; I ask space in your columns Lo reply to it. The case against Gardner ended on the 23rd day of December by the verdict of the jury, , of Deceaber Gardner was sentenced by the court. December he was taken to Stillwater What reason has this newspaper, the Independent, for following this man beyond the aad fuist upon the public the opinions ing of public gratitude are the | of its editorial writer, or rather the opinions of the source from whence he draws his inspiration? has this newspaper and its editorial writer in thus presisting in st at Garduer, his family On the 29th day On the 3ist day of his civil grave, and after e is over continue to discuss it What object king and friends? object. of that can be The purpose and First, it is opposed. to Gardner hav- ing a new trial. Second’ it is opposed to Gardner Third, anticipating the possibility thao so that Gard- proposes to prejudice Inepbagainst him and public senti- against his cause su far-as it can. Fourth, the fact that there are hundreds of the best citizens of tins ud Douglas yardner in- nocent, and having sympathy for him, hope that he will get a new trial and prove his innocence, fills this paper | and its editorial writer with hypociti- cal wrath, so much so that they call these friends of Gardner traitors to the people and traitors to the state, saying that they are guilty of treason tu the people, that is to say, treason to the state. It is seldom that one finds a more hypocritical, sinister and malicious editorial than that published in the independent last Saturday. Lt takes pains to assure the public that it is biased in favor of the rigid enforce- ment of the law. The constitution and laws of the state of Minnesota give Gardner the right to move for a new trial, andin pursuance of such law he proposes to move for a new trial. Such motion will be adressed, first, to the trial court who tried the | case,aad, second, to the supreme court jor this state, the highest judicial tribunal in the state. | Gardner makes will be addressed to Every move tle state, to the judicial mind, the sound discretion, and the integrity of théugh the} the courts of this state, and all pur- suant to law. ‘This paper would, if it could, prevent not only Gardner hay- ing the right to move fora new trial, but would prevent his obtaining a new trial even though the court should find he was entitled to one, when such new trial is guaranteed to him by the law of the land. ‘That be- ing true, this paper would prevent, if it could, Gardner or any other person when arrested, from ha aby trial at all and would consign them to the penitentiary without trial, if in its opinion, or in the opin- ion of its master, it was the proper thing to do.’ The Independent says “it can see no reason why the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the : judge should not be allowed tostand.” Well, that ought to settle it, .and if that paper will forward to the court a copy of its opinien the court will no doubt refuse to entertain a motion for a new trial. The position of the Independent editorial in reguard to the belief in Gardner’s innocence and the sympathy felt for him by his friends is inflnitely worse than its position upon Gardener's right to move for a new trial. It sz First, this sympathy is dangeroussympathy, Second, that the belief in Gardner’s innocence and the sympathy felt and expressed for him is treason to the people, that is, treason to the state. Third, that it the duty of every citizen Lo uphold che administratior of the law, that is, the conviction of Gardner, regardless of their belief in his innocence and regardless of natur- al feeling of sympathy. Fourth, that it hopes every citizen in this ‘county as well as every newspaper will take into consideration that itis its duty Co uphold the conviction of Gardner. regardless of whether they believe he is guilty or innocent. Fifth, that the belief in Gardner’s innocence and the sympathy felt for bim- by the citizens and the people!is the’ pave- ment in the anti-room. of Judge Lynech’s court. As Gardner has-been convicted this paper would have all belief in his in- uocence cease, all friendship for him cease, all sympathy for him cease, no effort be made to obtain for him a bew trial, and urges that all belief in his innocence and all sympathy con- tinued-to be entertained for him is treason to the state. Vhink of the unbounded hypocrisy and arrogance of this paper that presums to accuse hundreds of the best citizens of this county and hundreds of the best citizens of St. Louis county and Doug! ounty, Wis., of being guilty of treason to the people and to the state because they believe in the in- nocence of Gardener, sympathy for him, and are desirous that he should have a new trial. Think of the disposition, the mental status of a man in the state of Minnesota who can believe, that hundreds of the best people all around him are guilty of treason because they have natural syminpathy for a friend in time of trouble. What is the metal condi- tion of a man who can take the posit- ion, or pretend to take it, that be- cause men believe in the innocence of ope convicted, therefore they guilty of treason? Does such a man jor such a newspaper know the mean- ing of the word “treason”? Could either one of them define it’ without a diction and even then could they comprehend it? What does that paper, or its writer, know of the foundations of society and ‘govern are ment? Absolutely nothing. The publication of sueh editorials, the existance of such men in the news | paper world, is more dangerous ti society, more dangerous to good gov- ernment, more dangerous to the ad- mivistration of the law, than all the criminals Itasca county ever nad ever will have. The newspaper and its editorial writer, who, cringing at the feet of power, are willing to prostitute their intelligence ia the published dec ation that a belief in the innocence ofone convicted, and entertaining the hope that such one can olttain a new trial is treason to the people, and the pavement in the anti-room of Judge Lynch’s court, ought to exist in Constantinople or St. Petersburg, and not in the United States, because they are unable either from prejudice or senility to appreciate the govern- ment under which they live. ‘The viciousness of that editorial is in this, Lt attempts and purposes, so far as it can, by itseffect upon public ; sentiment, to prevent Gardner get- ling a fair trial should he get a new one, and it is an attempt to stifle and cow down the friends of Garduer who believe in his innocence and hope that he may obtain a new trial.
