that there is aWide spread disposition
to enforce. It is not only a good law

We heard a prominent citizen il
the country say a few days ago thai
if certain named partiedattempted tc
spend another winter like they spent
the last they would be found in the
coils and tolls of the law. The moral
sensibilities cry out that NO man has
