EdItor Mornlng Journal:

Editor Morning Journal:
About a week ago I vas complain
ing that our laws were openly yio-
lated and we had no officer who would
make any effort TO enforce hem.
one OF my family ansered: Don't
you know that IL you put an "ad IN
the Morning Journal that YOU are GER
tain to get what you want the next
day."
i did not believe the doctrine but
determined to try fl. and sure enough
before my advertisement was written
our progressive sheriff had determined
20 enforce the law.
And now. Joking aside. I want TO
say that the sheriff has lone a
straightforward. nj My thing and de-
serves the support OF every good citi-
zen In the territory.
I am welI aware that many who
know all about tho violation nf the
law when il Is only a matter OF gem
eral conversation. know absolutely
nothing. IN many cases. when they are
called upOn 20 give evidence, but no.
body IT, likely To look for evidence
where there is a general understand
ing that no use a be made OF IT,
For example. above the cheering 81
the crowd at the fair could be dis
tinctiy heard the voices OF men call
ing out tho amount they were willing
10 bet on fayorite horses and urging
others TO cover their stakes. Gam
bling devices occupied such promi-
neut places at the fair At both Soeor-
70 and Albuquerque that the only fair
conclusion was that they were run
with the fun knowledge ana consent
of the police officers. and any inter
ference Of a private individual would
look like an offcious Interference
with an arrangement made with the
proper authorities.
The same was true OF the violation
OF the sunday law.
The sheriff has now put himself
right before the public and every sa-
loonkeepcr who Violates the sunday
Law does it entirely mt his own risk
and every good citizen who sees the
law violated will naturally look for
proof which he may place in the
hands Of the proper authorities.
1t IT, an unreasonable thing to e1-
pect an officer to come into court
without proof. but il is still more abb
surd 20 suppose that a police officer
is blind and deaf.
The sheriff Is perfectly right in say
ing that there Is a difference Of opin-
ion in regard to the dusy Of a police
officer.
Some hold that he should do all In
his power to enforce the law, while
others hold the opinion that he is to
do as little as possible and act only
when some private citizen has made a
complaint.
The work OF the newspaper Is 10

do it. JOHN MORDY.
