formers by name, was quite marsh IN ms
criticism Of the system and In bis opiD-
lon OF informers generally, but he was
not prepared 10 assert that any particular
administrator OF the law was responsible
for their being. Tue saloon men are natur-
ally very much incensed against the In
formers, being not so much opposed TO
the Sunday law as 90 It's rigid enforce
ment.
