EVERY CITIZEN’S DUTY
With two capital crimes and a third ranking high
in criminal records, all committed within one week
in this area, a definite warning is given to our many
citizens as to what can happen here. Resting easy as
to what might occur is out of the question, and busi
ness or personal security must be protected with the
utmost vigilance.
Our widely heralded reputation of money growing
on bushes has attracted many undesirables, who in a
crowd of 12,000 to 15,000 are not easy to detect, even
by the sleuth hounds of officers or detectives. With
all the various officers in our midst, there yet re
mains the active duty of each citizen to be on guard,
to watch for suspicious characters or people without
a good reason for being here.
These remarks do not reflect on the defense work
ers, who have conducted themselves admirably, but
refer to the criminal element and the riff raff who
always follow projects of this kind or assemble in lo
calities where there is money and opportunity to do
deeds of violence. As the winter approaches these
acts will become more frequent and not only will the
larger crimes become more numerous, but a series of
petty depredations are likely to occur in town and
country.
With an awakened mind to the dangers, a sharp
eye and reasonable care, officers may be given as
sistance and many crimes avoided. To have unneces
sary cash about is playing with the forces of evil.
Just a small investment in locks may save cellars and
basements. Stores and camp ground and service sta
tion attendants should keep a sharp watch and offi
cers should visit all camp grounds or scattered camps
and inquire into the reason why each inhabitant is
living here. If employed all is well, if not, find what
are the visible means of support, or the why and the
wherefore of their existence in a region fraught with
so many unpleasant dangers to our overloaded econ
omic and social conditions.
Even with city, county, state and federal officers
about, it would require an army to have one at every
danger spot all the time. Every citizen is a guardian
of his own home and family and property and in this
emergency it is his duty to exercise that guardian
ship.
