SHERIFF FORCED
TO ENFORCE LAWS
CONTINUED from page one.)


The existence OF the places ordercd 4
closed has long been a matter OF COM
mon knowledge In the communities in
which they were located: but OF course
the sheriffs. sworn law officers Of the
state, are not expected I'm Rhode Island
to possess common knowledge.
Such Information can come to such un-
sophisticated and unsuspecting gentlemen
as Hunter c. White, Michael Il. Lynch
and John r. Wilcox only from the gov
ernor whose station is so exalted as to
permit him TO obtain a broader. more
comprehensive and more penetrating view
OF things throughout the state
Nor can 1t be expected that such inno-
cent citizens would be able % discover in
the statutes either authority, incentive or
mandate TO enforce the laws OF the state
Such can come, of course, only from the
power-clothed chief executive Of these
plantations.
So far as known. no arrests were made
by the county sleuths who swooped down
yesterday with such tremendous force up
on the gamblers; and the gentlemen Of
the green cloth were thus kindly permit
ted to pass the evening In the bosoms of
their families or in the enjoyment Of
"moonlights."
History records sufficient to establish
the fact that yesterdays spasm was not
wholly without precedent in Rhode ISL
and. The same authority and present day
facts testify TO the businesslike prompt
ness and ease with which the unarrested
Followers OF tickle fortune on the green
cloth and at the rapidly revolving wheel
forget the orders to close that percolate
from the marble palace through the
states machinery OF law enforcement TO
these gentlemen.
History has also been known to repeat
itself and sheriffs have been reelected
in Rhode Island.

II had put on 22,k pounds and got about

their board was being paid by others or
by secret societies. They made no open
protest, knowing that It would do no
good.
I'VE had old potatoes, morning, noon
and night: and often they were black
particularly when they were baked. and
we couldn't eat them.
THE superintendent would tell us, Eat
all you can that he had given orders 20

who got more than one very small chop

Another thing that 1 was disappointed

warm baths all the time, as the stand

Another former patient, who showed
evidences of taste and refinement was
seen at her home in this city and asked
20 relate her experiences with the food
at the sanatorium.
She was somewhat averse TO discussing
the subject and insisted that her name be
withheld. as she had no desire TO figure
In print and did not care 70 criticlse the
management nor those in charge OF the
Institution.

POLI'S s
BACK AMONG THE OLD FOLKS. J

BACK AMONG THE OLD FOLKS" :"
 There is any amount of wholesome comedy in Back Among the Old Folks,' the farewell offering of the Poli stock company which is being made at Polls this week and 1t Is furnished largely by Jere Sanford in the character of Dick Brown. Dick, ,dyed-in-the-wool farmer, has lived all his life in soft shirt and overalls until he married waspish young Boston woman who immediately dresses him up to meet her ideas of what constitutes smart dress. DICK struggles manfully against the depre- dation of a boiled shirt, "choker' and waistcoat, toothpick shoes and monocle and his efforts to be natural in spite of sartorial conditions are very funny. Fear of his spouse's acidulous tongue keeps him a long time from a declaration of indepen- dence, but it finally comes when he peels off the insulting raiment and dons his butternut attire. MT San ford is playing the role naturally and it is a splendid bit of character acting. Prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons, 10 and 20 cents; ladies 10 cents. Souvenirs Friday.
