Respect for the Law.

The American people know by ex-
perience that It is difficult to make
men morally good by law. They
have seen this and that evil arise
and heard men inveish against ex-
isting conditions and propose self
acting cure-aiIs without observing
the cure when the new test IL ap-
piled. They have heard II said that
no abuse can arise which law will
not remedy. but In the very vortex
now Of a storm Of relentless reform
agitation. the people OF this country
who are discerning know, by tangi-
BILE evidences upon every hand. that
mere legislative enactment viii not
solve their problems for them.
Back OF every Law. TO make Il ef-
fective. must be q serious respect
for the law. We may pile statute
upon statute mountain high and
never reach the purpose Of reform
unless this column rests upon a
foundation OF substantial popular
support. Public sentiment must be
back Of II before the law Is really
felt. But. OF course. we are. gener-
ally speaking, a law-abiding people.
only we grow aggravatingly indiffer-
ent at times to the necessity OF GER
tain legal requirements, and this In
difference. unchecked. lapses into
dangerous disrespect for legal au-
thorlty.
The people of this country have
first to erase a lot OF impracticable,
and even silly. laws and then to
raise their ideas OF the Importance
OF law enforcement before they may
hope TO achieve some OF the ideals
Of ciyic betterment. now SO gener-
ally exploited. Not the statute. IT.
self, but the popular respect which
the statute should command, Is the
remedy. Out Of all this turmoil of
wholesome agitation for better
things. in kself most hopeful sign.

THE UPPER NORTH.
STREET SEWER
$4,000 To Be Raised for
That Purpose
According to the Vote Taken at the
Special Town Meeting Held Satur-
day.

There was an attendance of per
haps 200 voters at the special town
meeting held Saturday afternoon at
the Municipal building, it being an ad
journed one from that held in June.
The previous meeting was principally
called in order for the voters to hear
the report of the sewer committee,
the members of said committee having
been delegated to report on the ques-
ton of putting in a sewerage system
to drain upper North street, after MAX
ing the proper Investigations. The
meeting-fwas postponed until Satur-
day last to give this committee time to
investigate more fully previous to
making their statements.
George w Cover, Esq, rendered the
report of the committee and Civil En-
gineer E. E. Greenwood gave details of
the survey made. AS result the
citizens voted to raise $4,000 for a
trunk line sewer from Prospect to
Jewett streets this fall. Next spring
the line to be continued from there
1900 feet north in Athens avenue. The
present sewer and overflow on North
street is expected fox a few years to
come to provide a sufficient outlet for
the new system. A release sewer will
later on be build if necessary down
some of the streets, not yet complet-
ed, into North street.
The residents in this section of the
town are greatly relieved to know
that after many vain attempts on their
part, a desirable system of draining
the land in their vicinity is to be in
stalled
1t was also voted to raise the sum
of $1,000 to rebuild the present sewer
in West Front street from the foot of
Goodwin Hill, so called to Paine street
The matter of instructing the select
men to publish the names of the de-
liquent sewer abbutters in the next
annual report was made a motion by
CndTIeS burner anu Wis pdSStu uIl-
animously by those present.
Another matter which was that of
instructing the committee of 90 to file
a written report of their recommended
ton with the town clerk not later than
Saturday noon, preceding the annual
town meeting was taken up and was
voted favorably upon. L. L, Walton in
a report for special committee,
stated that it would be advisable for
the town to place signs on those
streets which have not been legally ac
cepted.
The meeting was conducted by Judge
Fred F. Lawrence as moderator.

necessary.
