ORDINANCES IGNORED.
Minors Should Not Be Allowed to
 Loiter in Pool Rooms.

Minors Should Not Be Allowed to
 I4oiter in Pool Rooms.
 It is said that the new board of pub- lie safety is thinking of having the policemen come before them once i'll a while for examination regarding their knowledge of the city ordinances and the rules laid down for their conduct in the books which they carry with them. One of the commissioners told a reporter of the Democrat last night that 1t is a shame to think that school boys are allowed to loiter in pool rooms about town so long as the law states that they have no right to re- sort in such places, and the rules printed for the guidance of the police requires them to make occasional calls at the pool rooms for the purpose of seeing what is going on in such places.
 "Who ever saw an officer going into a pool room?" asked the commissioner. 'sT never have, and I don't know any body who can say that he has. This should not be so. The officers are obliged to see that the proprietors of pool rooms live within the law. and sometimes I think they fail to do this because they are not always sure as to what their duty is in certain things. I wonder if every officer Is aware that the boy who shouted fire at the opera house the other day and came near creating q panic, left himself liable to arrest and q fine of $100? The or dinances are all right, but the trouble seems to be that no notice is taken of them, with the possible exception of few things which in many instances 1t would be just as well to let alone. The policemen claim that they are pushed about the cleaning and repair ing of walks, which is all well enough in it's own way but not half as i'm portant in q public way as proper and constant watching of people who make a practice of leading the youth of the city into evil ways. I don't know how much the officers know about their du- ties. but after the row in the pool room last week I mada some inquiries as to whether the police were expected to keep an eye upon them and was in- 1 formed that it is not only a part of their duty. but that the rules call at- 1 tention to it in no uncertain terms. [ don't want to see any harsh measures 1 introduced by the board. but do hope that they will have a chat with the | officers about these things from time to time and find out if they all keep in touch with the ordinances and the statutes so far as the same relate to their duty as guardians of the public peace. They should be familiar witt the provisions of every city ordinance and report violation of the same to the 1 chief. who in turn should make sucl 1 reported violations to whoever is sup posed to see that such ordinances arc enforced"
 If this order of things should be car
 ried out the officers will have big jol
 on their hands. The new ordinance will soon be published. and if an officel
 should be examined on the whole o
 them 1t would take him some time t
 be able to tell even the names of tn
 different things covered by the bulk, volume of ordinances.

OUSTED THE TENANT
Officer Noonan Game to the Assistance
 of Samario's Landlady.

Constable E. J. Donahue must have found the man he wanted, for, accom- panied by an assistant and Mrs Daniel Raiferty of Riverside street, the laud- lady of the house on Jefferson street where an Italian became a tenant without the permission of the land- lady, he paid visit to the house and started to dispossess the tenant. He had part of the furniture removed when the doughty bailiff was called away on other business. Then the trouble began The tenant, whose name is Vita Samario, threatened to kill Mrs Rafferty with hatchet and to do all kinds of things to the con stables assistant. The result was that both the landlady and the assist ant had to leave the premises. The man then put the furniture back into the house. Mrs Raffertys in the meantime secured warrant for his axrest. Yesterday afternoon, accompa- nied by ? men, she again went to the ieil- ement to put out the furniture on the street. The Italian was there, ready for fight. but when he saw Officer Noonan approaching the house he took to his heels. Tn a short time Mrs Raf-
 ferty and her assistants were engaged in blockading Jefferson street with furniture

NO SECOND PRIMARY.

The returns are all iuand the
figures show that 10 this Third
Congressional District there will
be no need Of a second primary
to nominate our first congress-
man. This is indeed something
to be thankful for. Of course
we are naturally gratifed and
pleased that Mr.. Lamar was the
successful one in therace because
of the three candidates for the
position he was our choice. But
we want to say right here that
we would have rather seen either
of the other two candidates nom.
mated than to have another
month of the bitter fractional
fight which marked the progress
OF the campaign in this county
and district. The district would
not have suffered had either of
the other gentlemen been nomi.
mated. They are both able men.
But, as we said before, the
fight is a thing Of the past. The
campaign is over, the count has
