tice Bergen urged them to insist on
the enforcement of the excise law.
He said 1t gave him great pleasure
to say that there were no serious
crimes to which to call their atten-
tion. He said he thought this was
the first time since be had been sit

case. He declared, however, that he
understood that their attention
would be called to two or three cases
of selling liquor without licenses.

the statutes and not their own feel
ings in this matter. He said that to
overlook the small crimes is to crs-
ate feeling of disrespect for all in
