And then 4 cooper shop:
Because that thing was boosting him,
And he'd no time 10 stop.

The town turned out 20 see:
And seven buildings blazed az once,

And so we wait TO hear the shout

And then the mutt he started out,
Intent upon his bizz.

Upon the leading muliner,

OBEDIENCE VS.. ORDINANCE.

In the course Of the campaign for
general "up-lift" in this city, no ses-
sion Of the Council is allowed to pass
these days without the introduction
of one or more reformatory ordinan-
ces, drawn for the purpose Of purify
ing and bettering moral conditions
hereabout. Theoretically this is all
right; practically, it does not amount
to thinkers damn" whatever that it.
We have ordinances by the hundred
and law enough to gag judge, jury,
and bar: What we need far more than
new ordinances is a spirit Of obedi-
ence and the decent citizenship that
makes every civic provision rule Of
action and means to the end Of mu-
nicipal honor and well being.
We are pretty near that pass when
our respect for the law stops with our
dealing and contact with the Federal
statute: Anything below that affords
fighting chance to beat and deny
our responsibility. We are everlast-
