1t has always been the aim and object
OF this city to attempt to see that.the laws
and city ordinances of the municipality
are enforced TO the letter, even though
there have been cases when 1t seemed as
| IL the officers who have the enforcement
OF the laws In their power, have seemed
| inclined to let the violaters Of the several
| city ordinances pass unnoticed.
| The city can truthfully boast Of having
police force that stands on an equal
basis with that OF any IN the United
States, even though 1t has to use an en-
| gine house for police station, and bas no
morgue and but three cells-this proves
that the city is comparatively free from
| criminals and crime. No city or town
| officials can prevent some violations OF
their laws in more or less degree, even
though they are on the statute books.
That the Chief Of Police Is epdeavoring
so far as lies in his power to see that the
laws which come under his supervision
are enforced is evidenced by the fact that
no less than four violaters of the screen
law have been arrested and fined for their
attempts to keep their places Of business
open short time after the city ordi-
nance says that they shall be closed.
In this action he has the commentator

This cannot be considered az a political
move In any way whatsoever, It is simply
movement where the Chief Of Police Is
acting, with the approval of the citizens
who want to see the laws of the city re-
spected, and where the indignation Of the
people have been aroused to such an ex-
tent that they cannot tolerate the viola
tions any longer.
1t those who ignore the screen law think
that they can Keep open after IL o'clock

cidedly laboring under an insane haluci-
nation, as their votes will not be necessary
to carry an election, for a canvass Of the
voting strength OF the city has been made
by interested citizens, and the assistance
OF those who insist on violating the screen
law will not be needed.
It Is to be hoped that Chief Goldsworthy
and his men will keep right oil In the way
they have begun and they will ind that
they have the sppro baton OF the most In

city without any regard to political sffilia.

The Screen Law.
No more screen law evaders, It seems.
They got on to that racket and don't seem
disposed to get caught by that lure again.

And the cry it went up-"There is blood on

And the chaps who were selling. but not in

And His Honor gave each one a terrible
roast,
