The Police and tho Sunday Saloon

The Police and tho Sunday Saloons.
Naturally enough tho. Sunday liquor
sellers want to know whether tho new
chief Of police is in earnest: whether he
intends to arrest them every time
/ they break the law, or whether the
demonstration OF last Sunday is 10 be
regarded merely as the clcan.swecping
OF q now broom. ~
Tho saloon-keepers who make bust
ness OF deiying the Sunday law and all
other laws enacted for the control OF
their business, have had some expert
ence vi their own. Most OF this export
cnco has been OF the wide-open kind,
saloons going all tho time, proprietors
doing rs they pleased without regard to
law.
Occasionally the chief Of police has
had a spasm OF virtue or OF policy from
which his recovery was rapid. The
law;brcakers have had no taste OF a
chief OF police who meant business all
sthe time, .dischargins his sworn duty
WITHOUT fear or favor. AS soon rs they
I! canbe convinced that Chief McNichol
US this sort OF an officer, he will have
Them down.
1.-THE former chief complained more
.Ethan once that the MAYOR or judge OF
athc police court would not support his
efforts to put stop to tho business OF
the professional lawbrcakers. 1t must
be admitted that it is discouraging 10
make arrests for good cause and have
the notoriosly guilty smiled out Of the
police court. But chief OF police of
the right stuffwill notpermit the mayor
or anybody else to keep him from doing
his duty. He will keep up his lick and
let the peoplcsee the difference between
chief of police who does his duty and
mayor who has his own reasons for:
doing something else.
1t is the duty OF the chief of police
that concerns Captain McNichol, and
the 1NTELLIGEScER is glad to say that he
seems to have entered on tho discharge
OF that duty.
