To The Editor:

In response to the current drug war in St.Lawrence County. I would
like to point out a perfect example of why we are against this so
called war. An article in the Aug. 24 Ogdensburg Journal reported a
man accused of assaulting a baby is released on a $1,000 bail. In the
same edition it is reported that several defendants of the drug sweep
are being held without bail. I fail to see the logic of justice in
giving the perpetrators of violent crimes relatively light bails and
sentences while drug offenders are denied bail and given lenghty sentences.
