Why all this vehement cursing,
these deafening yells, this obscene and
disgusting conduct, witnessed on onr
streets during the two last days of our
Fair? Why are our citizens compelled
to leave the sidewalk to avoid drunk
ell disorderly gang, collected in front Of
some whisky dive? Why are they
to listen all night to an almost cease
less strain of drunken boots and heath
enish yells as If tribe OF wild Com
manches had been turned loose i'm our
streetsp Have We not jailp Have
we not laws? and have we not officers
to enforce these laws? Then why are
our peaceful citizens compelled to sub.

speaking with our officers concerning
this neglect of duty their answer is: "it
is because the village does not pay us half
enough for the services required of us
and we can't afford to work all day and
half the night for comparatively moth
ing" In referring to this we would add
that if our village has become so nov
erty stricken that they cant pay rea-
s0nable wages to a few officers for two
or three days during the year. they had
better cell out and go back TO govern
ment Order is Gods FIRST law and IL
we fail in this we neglect one of the es-
scntial impulses to moral, social and
financial progress.
