On the editor’s desk are dozens of others will have to go unpublished as they cover much the ground earlier writers touched upon. ile the opinions differ widely, it seems to be the view that facts in a murder case such as this ‘should be published fearlessly, fairly. That indecent, and salacious details should be rigorously blue- 4. That a defendant is entitled to an open-minded rican hearing, but not to maudlin sympathy. i This expression of public opinion was interesting.

W, Newell, 2021 N. 78th st. which appeared in The Star dated Sept. 11th, ‘This letter sounds to me as if it may have been written by one of the commissioners’ gang. Mre. Newell refers to the huge loss to the county of operating the ferry to Bellevue. I would ike to refer the readers to a letter written by Mr, Chambers, which appeared in The Star about a year ago in which he said the loss was so small at the time the port turned the ferry over to the commissioners that ft was hardly noticeable at a Scent fare, and In a short time the ferry would have been making money at a S-cent fare. Mra. Newell says the Bellevue traffic left the ferry at Medina dock, I would like to know if the Belle. vue people have not a perfect right to leave the county ferry at any dock they please, but how about the people who have no machine? There are over 4,000 people in the Bellevue district who are dependant on the ferry, then surety it would have been cheaper to run the ferry after the machines would get off. I ha been on the ferry (while it was ing Bellevue) when I had to look ‘round to find a seat, andl noticed they did not get off at Medina; and | I do know they did got Bellevue, for I lve there. ‘The ferry was serving both places, and neither Bellevue nor Medina asked for a change. Both pinces were splendidly served with 12 trips a day, giving us night service, and all were satixtied. Then the commissioners made the change in the schedule, and dropped Bellevue and put on 18 trips to Me dina, which cost several hundred dollars more per month than the 12 trips to the two places, and oft at blutfed the people by saying they were saving money, and that being the cause of the change.
