THE astute editor OF the STANDARD is
getting his SMILES badly jumbled. He
says g Chairman Kreider should keep
away from monkeys if he don't want to
get his fingers burned" The monkey is
noted for its bite or its scratch, but the
idea of getting burned by monkeying
with monkey is new one.-Olympian.
AS Indian Superintendent Kendall
in "auld laug syne," once said to an
obtuse employe, on one of the reserva-
tions under his management, "I can
give instructions, but I cannot give
you brains to understand Them" We
feel some doubt as to whether we can
make CLEAN of intelligence penetrate
Oly's thick skull. When he cannot
see that he enacts the role OF monkey
and Kreider that of the cat's-paw, in
the above "simile," all must admit
that any attempt at enlightenment
would literally be Loves Labor Lost"

that these evils Ind existed during the

vcrsation our indignant, friend said thn,
ON several occasions, when hc was CON.

certain saloon was open and doing bnsi-
ness tho same ms during lawful hours.
Our inquiry MS to why lie did no, file u
complaint and havc tho violation pun.
ishcd was no. answered In n very salts.
factory way. The substance of his mn.
swer was that it was the duty OF the
council and officers to enforce tho law.
The obligation for enforcement Of law
rests, in the first place on the officials.
but every citizen has n share OF tho re-.
sponsibility. Had our angry friend on.
tered n complaint for the first violation
OF the midnight closing law which came
to his personal knowledge conviction
would surely have followed aud the law
would have been obcyed, for time at
least. We believe that the mayor, town
councial, attorney and marshals will
make mn honest effort to enforce the law.
All citizens should inform tho ''powers
that be" Of any violations which como to
their knowledge, and il the officials shirk
their duty go for them rough shod. One
thought in this connection: Our pro.
testing friend did not wish to make him.
self individually prominent in suppress.
ing lawbreakers. Had he been men,

was to look after such things the per.
