The alleged failure of certain constables
and deputy sheriffs to do their duty in re-
gard to the search warrant feature Of the
Id,
voked much unfavorable criticism The
members OF the Montgomery County Anti
Saloon League are understood TO be con
siderably wrought up over the matter, and
1t is said that that organization has about
decided to bring future cases of neglect of
duty TO the attention OF the grand jury.
The following statement. which Is under
stood to be intended as warning, mas been
issued by the league:
s.The MONTGOMERY County Auti-Saloon
League desires to call the attention of the
people of Montgomery county TO the eff
Gent means provided by the present local
option law for getting rid OF suspected
places where intoxicants are sold In this
county. Under the search warrant feature of
the law, wherever there Is reasonable ground
of suspicion of the law being violated, IL
becomes the duty of constable, sheriff or
deputy sheriff, upon information and belief,
to go before a justice OF the peace and
cause search warrant to be issued and
search the suspected premises for intoxi-
eating liquors in sufficient quantities to in
dictate that IL is kept the premises with
intent to violate the law. The policy of the
league is to assist the constabulary OF the
county In a rigid enforcement of the law
1t does not desire to supplant. but to sup
plement the efforts of the officials. The
league desires to encourage the officials to
give this law the same consideration as any
other law on the statute book, and to fur
nish information of the suspected places in
the various parts of the county and IL
again reminds them that Ii is the duty of
the constables, sheriff and deputy sheriffs
to enforce this law the same as any other
law
IF the constabulary do not do their duty
fully In strictly enforcing this law then
the people have but one remedy and that
is to appeal to the grand jury and indict
the recreant officials for malfeasanee in
office or neglect of duty. All OF the off,
Gals have the advice and cooperation of
the states attorney and the league, and
there is excuse for their failure to
strictly enforce this law"
