SORROWS OF THE SANDWICH MAN.
ABSENCE OF LAW IN HIS FAVOR INTER
PRETED AS LAW AGAINST HIM.


The police and newspapers seem to be in good
deal OF confusion just now. because somebody
fooishy went and asked police captain whether
he might have a permit to send out sandwich
men, to advertise his business. The police
captain consulted the city charter. something
equally within his understanding. and found that
II said nothing about sandwich men. and gave
him no power issue permits for them. 1t was
therefore clear. according to Police Department
logic that all sandwich violating the
law and must be arrested Accordingly one or
two OF them arrested II somebody had gone
to the same captain and had asked him for per-
NIT to a silk hat. he would probably have
consulted the body Of law, found that there
was nothing in It about silk hats and that he had
no authority to issue permits for them. and
would have ordered his policemen to arrest any
man caught wearing one. 1t would not be bad
plan for the captain 10 write on the fly lear OF
that code book: That which the law does not
prohibit II permits" 1t might be a good motto
10 stick in the helmet Of each policeman, too
IT Is not a high ambition to be a sandwich man.
but there is living I'm the business for many
who would find 1t hard to get one In any
other way. for the labor does not require skill nor
much strength. All there is TO II Is to walk around
AS long as a man do that and can get the
Job he the wolf squarely on the side
walk and lead him away from the door, and that
is probably the only reason why any man Is
sandwich man. Probably they all sorely need
whatever they get for the work. for the average
sandwich man does not look as II he followed
the calling because Of pure love Of his art
Therefore It a pity that any policeman
should be so misguided to think that the ao-
sence OF any positive law in their favor constituted
n law against them. A set Of men VINO DO less
harm II would be difficult TO find in days marcn.
Chief Devery has gone on the witness stand ana
sworn as to how little he knew about what was
going on in town and IT is not TO be supposed that
he ever saw a sandwich man. but he has fortu-
natey not quite the severity Of his overzeaious
captain. and he says that he has not sent out any
order against them. He has heard that In crowded
place7 they sometimes walk two and two, and
he says that policemen sometimes make them
walk one by one. Even that seems severe why
have not two sandwich the same right 10
