LET THE Law BE ENFORCED.
UPPER FALLS, Md, Nov. IS, 1901
Messrs Editors-Dedr Sirs The thanks of
ali lovers of law and order in this section are
due to Judge Duncan for his refusal to grant
license for the sale of liquor near Jerusalem
Mills There is not the slightest necessity for
establishing another saloon in this neigh
borhood for the facilities for obtaining liquor
here are all that any one could possibly desire.
There are saloons enough yes, more than
anouvh alreadv-and there was therefore no
need that their number should be increased.
We have already too many evidences OF their
existence when men are seen lying drunk by the
roadside. there is hardly Saturday nightthat
the quiet of the neighborhood is not disturbed
by loud aud unseemly noises, the firing OF guns
and pistols, the use of foul language and many
other things which go to prove that those who
are responsible for this have been to saloon.
We can rarely have public entertainment out
that some devotee of Bacchus finds his way
there and makes himself general nuisance.
Not long ago l attended an entertainment at
our Casino. At its close, when we left the build
ing, there was man lying dead drunk at the
door. Last Saturday night there was another
entertainment at the same place which did not
attend but am informed that there was dis
graceful brawl between two inebriated individ-
uals in which each one was severely bruised ana
battered There is loud and persistent de-
demand that these blots upon the good name of
our community shall cease and cease at once.
The demand is not made by people with ex-
treme views on the temperance question. They
realize full well that as long liquor Is made 1t
will be sold, if not legally then Illegally. They
know that the traffic is regulated by law and
they demand that the law shall be enforced
without fear or favor. And our saoon-keepers
would consult their best interests by observing
the law and aiding in its enforcement. The
time has passed when they can any longer re-
main Indifferent, or sneer at those VINO ask 1or
its enforcement as demanding what is impossi--
BILE. They know what they want. and in the
name of decency and good order they demand 1t.
Let the saloon keepers then heed that demand
or they may find themselves confronted by
very determined and serious opposition when
they apply for a renewed of their licenses. All
honor to Judge Duncan for the stand that he
has taken. We believe that he has done right
in deciding this matter as he did and we are con-
fident that he will receive, as he most justly de-
serves, the hearty thanks of all lovers of law
and order. PRO Bono PUBLICo.
To THE Committee on Paper of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Association which
called at the White House last week, Presi
dent Roosevelt intimated that be would urge
Congress to repeal the tariff on print paper
wood pulp and the wood that goes into the
manufacture of paper, also that he would have
the Department of Justice investigate the pa
per trust to see if it had violated the laws.
THE FIRST of the new coins designed by the
late Augutus Saint Gaudens under the general
direction of President Roosevelt has reached
the Treasury Department from the United
States mint, in Philadelphia 1t is the SO
gold piece, or half eagle, and is peculiar from
the fact that for the first time since 1873 the
words, I'm God We Trust" are omitted from
the coin.
AN ORGANIZATION has been formed by the
citizens of Atlanta, Ca, to have the annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the Re
public held in that city in 1909. Next years
reunion will take place in Toledo. AS center
of military interest Atlanta has strong claims
and many of the old trenches and other relics
of 1864 are still visible in its surroundings.
THOUGH IN poor health ex-President Cleve-
land was driven in carriage to the polls and
cast his vote at the late election, AS long as
the American citizen recognizes the fact that
the ballot is the supreme factor in politics the
Government will be in hopeful way.
A CERTAIN kind ofIfruit is accused of causing
badness, but there was time when the French
would not eat potatoes, report having been
circulated that they induced freckles. These
vagrant yarns should not be allowed to injure
the standing of wholesome food.
