The new Marshal has taken the oath of
office and he has but one thing to do to
have the support of the entire community,
and that is to make no distinction. No
matter whether it is minister, beggar,
lawyer, tramp, or any other person who
has violated the law arrest them. Let the
rich and the poor, the old and the young
be all placed on the same footing. Let the
Marshal keep from violating the ordinan-
ces, and see that the Sunday ordinance as
we'll as the ordinance closing saloons at
