Ghe enforcement of the dispepsasy
law has been the subject OF much con-
sideration by .he Governor-eleot, aud
he is hopeful that under his admins
tration much Of the friction which has
existed in the past may be obliterated.
The Law is on the statute book and Is

He believes that the wishes Of Q
community should be recognized, bcs
he has not power to exempt any oom-
munity or section Of the State from
the operation Of the law, and under
his oath Of Office he will have to carry
out the law without favor to oil paYes

State, and be menace to the growing
youth Of our cities, who, by seeing
laws openly violated, simply because
they are distasteful, will soon learn to
hold our whole system Of government
in contempt.
He did not anticipate serious trou-
BILE along that line, as, the law is not
now as Objectionable as it had been,
and there is Q stronger feeling prevail
ing to give the law fair trial, which
I'm some places it has never had, and,
besides, the public in general are not
unmindful Of the serious results
Of wilfully trampling g law in the
dust, just because it was objectiona-
bic. The factional feeling having sub
sidea, the patriotism Of the people is
asserting itself, and the blind tigers
will be made to go way back and sit
down. It is evident that the Govern.
or-eleet is determined to select as his
oonstables good and true men who can
be relied on to see that the Law is re-
spessed, but to do SO in such manner
ar not to arouse any unnecessary fric-
tion or to occasion bitter feeling.
He believes that much can be effeo-
ted through sEs medium Of off-iiooai au-
thorities, and is going to exert himself
toathet end. He believes that the JUS
tice Of the position which he takes
will be appreciated by those to whom
the law may be personally offensive,
and that they will be among his warm-
est advocates in maintaining the law
and keeping true to his oath Of Office
and campaign pledges. he will be
disappointed If his expectations along
this limo are not realized.
He has been giving the matter Of
his military staff some attention and
has his eye on those whom he wishes
to make part Of his official family.
