Whatever else the state police may
be, they are not. as a rule, members in
good standing in total abstinence


Whatever else the state police may
be, they are not. as rule, members in
good standing in total abstinence
society, for it seems that in order to
get evidence against illegal liquor SELL
ers, the state police chaps actually
drink booze that is sold to them lille
gally. That's where these strangers
have the advantage over the regular
city police. as the latter would be
likely to be fired out by force IL
they went into saloons while on duty
and bought and drank beer, whiskey
or wine, or any other intoxicating
liquors. and besides the doors that are
open to state policemen are Darl cd
against the local blue coated and
brass buttoned club wielders. Hence
lit is that the state men can get con-
vincing evidence that is beyond the
reach of the local officers.
That's the reason why the people
represented by the Committee of Fiji
teen. cognizant of the fact that the
liquor laws were being violated in
New London, considered it necessary
to call in the state police and thereby
cause at least a temporary stop to the
illegal business. Eight violators were
caught in the police dragnet and
dumped into the police court, and il
is said the fins of others are caught
III LIE nlCSnco. Ill lliC IdIc are OHc OF
more who have been suspected of SELL
ing liquors contrary to law for years,
and who were alleged to have a pull
and were therefore immune from DO
lice molestation. But in this particu-
lar instance no favorites were played,
the state police were simply called in,
then let loose and instructed to do their
duty without fear or favor. and by APP
pearances they evidently did what was
raC af
Although, perhaps, their work would
have been received with more favor
had they visited some of the lower
resorts and given the hotels a wider
berth. They are to be commended,
however, that in their selection of
hotels they made. no discrimination,
for among the alleged violators are
one alderman and two ex-aldermen OF
the city of New London.
Nor can the Committee of Fifteen
be accused of any underhand work in
this connection, for they gave public
notice nearly ten months ago that they
intended to see to it that the liquor
laws were to be strictly enforced. and
il the dealers were willing to take
the chances, their present unfortunate
condition is of their own making.
AS to the local police, they received
explicit orders from Mayor Armstrong
to do their full duty, and special stress
was laid on the enforcement of the
liquor laws and IL they were not equal
to the task, the calling in of the state
police became a public necessity. IL
is a well known fact th& strangers to
the city have had but very Attle diff
Guilty to buy all the liquor they cared
to pay for ON Sunday and during the
hours prescribed by law, and II was
this daring on the part Of certain
dealers that has brought about the
present results.

has been attacked in the higher places
