THE SIDEwALKs.-The ordinance re-
quiring residents to clear the snow from
the sidewalks in front of their premises
should be rigidly enforced or promptly re-
pealed. 1t is sign of weak and ineffi-
cient government when imperative laws
cucumber tho statute book. The ordi-
nance should be enforced on all alike. The
owners and occupants of corner lots as
well as the renters of small properties
should obey the mandates of the law. The
State should be required to clear the walks
bordering Capitol Square. Let us have no
halfway enforcement. Let it be thorough
or not at all. Many citizens clear the side
walks in front OF them for their own con-
venience and comfort as well as for human
ity's sake. Those who have no such
promptings should be spurred up with the
strong arm of the law. Let us have clear
pavements and peace.
