We hope the gentleman will find lots

That his thoughts should have turned to

As TO SOME LAWS AND OTHERS.

There are laws and laws. and 1t is
the business Of Supt. Byrnes to enforce
all Of them.
But inasmuch as they cannot all be
enforced at once, why does not the
Superintendent exercise a little common
sense in the selection Of the time and
place at which to begin the work OF
enforcement?
Why devote the whole police force
to enforcing the obnoxious and often
unjust provisions OF the Excise law at
a time when crimes of violence are
epidemic?
or what benefit is it to the citizen to
save him from the wiles of the rum
shop after / A. NJ, merely to turn him
over to the tender merces of the thug
and the highwayman? Far better To
leave the saloons open as refuge until
the streets are made safe for pedestrians.

silk. They are made with double heels
and toes and a tight-titting Jersey top,
and there is no resisting them. Any
