Prosecuting Officer M. D. O'Oonnell
writes as follows in the Springfield
Sunday Republican: Stafford Springs,
Ct., Saturday. Oct. 81. "The license
year closes today, and when the
saloons close at II O'Clock tonight
tie lid will go on and be pressed
dEwn tight. If the saloon keepers
do as they say they will. and it is
hoped that they will see the wisdom
in so doing, there will not be any
violations by this class during the
coming year. They have all ex.
pressed their intention of submitting
to the will of the people. There is
one law alike for rich and poor, and
if there are any violators they should
not expect any favors. In the ad
ministration of justice the official
best does his duty who knows neither
friend nor foe 1t is the offense
rather than the offender that the
official must consider, and the official
is bound in conscience to enforce the
law without fear or favor. This is
sometimes an unpleasant and dis
agreeable task, but it is duty which
must and will be performed by all
local officers during the dry as we'll
as the wet season. Those who
know the prosecuting attorney will
interpret this as a fair warning"
