PUBLICITY AND THREATS OF INTIMIDATION
The Kansan today publishes the story of intimidation that has been tried by one of the defendant lawyers in the joint cases. The University of Kansas and the students are closely connected with the prosecution of these cases. As long as the blackmailing tactics that have been tried are kept in the dark they flourish, but fail of their purpose when exposed in the sunlight of publicity. That is the reason why the Kansan makes no apologies for publishing such stories. The Kansan does not believe that the truth, and all the truth, will hurt any of the witnesses in these cases and the introduction of perjured testimony from motives of intimidation or revenge will be guarded against by lawyers as skilled as any of those defending the alleged jointists.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
When the sensational issue of a local paper was gotten out by some students of the University, the Gazette took occasion to say that a serious mistake had been made. For saying this the Gazette was lambasted by college publications, and abused by the students. It would be interesting to know what they think of it now.—Lawrence Gazette.
It is hard to tell how the students would feel about it if they had no more backbone than an earthworm or the Lawrence Gazette. But as it is, they are going to stand back of their story and do their best to make the facts plain to a jury. It is to be hoped that none of the students when they have left the University and engaged in their life work will ever under any consideration think it necessary to cringe and crawl and palter as some of the newspaper men of this town have been doing since the issue of law enforcement has been put squarely before the people.
