GET THE sPITTERS.

At the annual meeting of the Jeff ferson County Anti-Tuherculosis So- ciety yesterday a resolution was adopted urging the City Council to or der the police to enforce the anti quitting law and to maae no eXcep- tions in cases in it's enforcement. Po- lice Judge J. R. Stewart, according to Alderman Rudolph Wolff, whos is heartily in favor of a strict anti-spit- ting campaign, is ready to fine every person who is brought into his court on such a charge.
 The anti-spitting ordinance has been in effect for many months, but 1t has never been enforced. If there is one good ordinance in the city digest 1t is the anti-spitting law and it's purpose should not be overlooked The man who deliberately spits on the sidewalk, in street cars or in public buildings o,fght to be fined. The human hog ought not be tolerated Dy society and the police should give decent people some protection in this line.
 Some people advance the idea that it is law that cannot be enforced. If the police will arrest everybody they see expectorating on sidewalks and they are fined in the city police court the filthy habit will soon be a thing of the past in Pine Bluff. Six or seven fines and little publicity of the names of those who are So care less as to spit on the sidewalk, when thev know that they should not do so, will educate many cyneTs to an ob- seryance Of the law in this respect.

THE MOVIES A NEW TEACHER.

Some city in Lake County has the
opportunity to become known the

ABUSING OUR WILLIAM.

dianapolis News staff man working
at present on the Harry Moose case
William A Cain, a Gary contractor,
who is mentioned in the Moose con
fession, laughed at the charges the
former city clerk made against him.
IF YOU would stop and think
minute said Mr. Cain. you would
see the Observation-Disclosures of
Moose's story. 1 was not implieat-
ed in the bribery charges at Gary
at all No one had made any
charges against me 1t absolutely
made no difference to me whether
Moose went away or STAYED in
Gary I had no interest either d.
rectly or Indirectly in any testi-
mony he might give. l would not
be benefited in any manner. shape
or form by anything that Moose
might say or do. That being the
case do YOU imagine I am fool
enough to push myself into the
penitentiary by giving Moose or
any other witness bride money. It's
absurd. The only thing that makes
me sore is the thought that any
one would imagine that I had SO
little sense as to do thing like
Moose says I did"
The fact Of the matter is. we sup
pose, that it is a downright shame t
even think for d teeny -weenies
moment that William would ever b,
guilty of doing such a thing. How
could any one conceive that Wilhelm
had any interest in the case one wa.
