PEOPLE'S FORUM
The Citizen welcomes expressions of the views of its readers, but the editor reserves the right to delete any items which are considered libelous or unwarranted. The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 200 words and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writer must accompany the letters and will be published unless requested otherwise.
HIS SENTIMENTS AGREE
Editor, The Citizen:
I wish to express publicly my appreciation to the writer of "Let's Have Swift Justice." His sentiments on the murder of the Beissell child are identical with mine, but I could not have expressed them so well.
It should be noted that "Max Maxwell" is a fictitious name. The reporter evidently was not convinced that it would be wise to use his own name on the by-line.
Yours truly,
F. H. Limbert
