Greek, Kansas.


Old man Snyder found a snake,
Frozen sitter than stake,
And he tucked it in his breast,
And he buttoned up his vest.
When the saurian became thawed,
Mr.. Snyder became chawed,
And in one unbroken stream
He proceeded to blaspheme,
And eradicate the plug
From little old brown jug.
Then he took modest snort
OF, perhaps, about quart,
And conversed as il newell
Had profanity to sell.
Year by year with all his might
Snyder tried to cure that bite
But he didn't have the heft;
So, one daY beside the jug,
He, while heaving at the plug,
Caught the jim jams and got left.

Any man that is astute, sir,
Keeps his reptiles in his boots. sir;
But its thinner than wafer,
Yes sir, bitterer than borax,
To be gnawed about the thorax,

ENFORCEMENT or THE EXCISE LAM

LETTER FROM DIR. HOWARD cRosBY--TaE LAW CAN.
NOT BIZ ENFORCED WHILE LEGISLATION AND
AGITATION CoNTISUE.
TO the EdttOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: You notice in your paper of this morning the
continued and apparently increasing curse OF the
rrm-shops. II is significant fact that these foul
places are now defiant. They were being sup
pressed, when the Mayor, through error of judg-
ment, Grst stopped the good work by attacking the
police, and then the agitation in the Legislature
fairly annulled it, While that agitation is con-
tinued. the law cannot be enforced. No law
can be properly enforced which is threatened
with abrogation. The enemies of order,
who desire free rum law, point to our
present condition as proof that the present law can
not be enforced, when the non-enforcement is all
because of their agitation in the Legislature. The
dodge will not succeed. What we need is the retire
ment of the Legislature. Then, when the law OF
1857 il understood TO be fnality, the courts VIII
be expected to do their full duty. do not blanc
the police, who are the butts OF many incon-
siderate men. If l were policeman, / should
not arrest a single unlicensed hquor-seller. know
ing, as | would, that my prisoner would be IN
his runl-shOp the next day, triumphing in
his lawlessness my attempt az order.
The police have made thousands of arrests. for
which they got curses and no thanks. Why should
they make any lnOfeI Inc ponce VIII uOJ De Ochihu
in their duty when ~ the Excise Commissioners
grant 10 licenses to sham hotels; (2l the District
Attorneys office treats every excise case promptly;
and (3) the Sessions Court deals out the extreme
penalty to offenders.
Ihave no reason to believe that these branches of
the city government desire to do any wrong. On
the contrary believe they are represented by hon.
orabe gentlemen, but false representations are too
readily accepted and bad habit of sighting exc
else cases has too generally obtained, and hence the
police are naturally lukewarm in making
arrests in such cases. What we want is
general tightening mp in all our ofii-
cal departments on this question Of enforcing
the excise law, and this, / believe, will be the
case when the Legislature adjOurns. lbelieve our
officials themselves desire this reform. When they
have sent fifty lawbreakers in the rum business to
Blackwelrs Island, the illegal dens and bogus
hotels will disappear. Yours truly,
