Sergt, G. L. Dalrymple-he ranks
as desk sergeant-is remarkable for
the number of men he knows by sight

Sergt. Dalrymple-he was mere

the White House grounds, for three

he was put on the front door," and
has stayed put ever since. ..

his course Representative Brockson
can rest assured the citizens Of his

his constituents applaud the stand he

The police have visited and inspected the social
clubs IN this city which have taken out Federal IL
censes to sell Intoxicating liquors, but which have
not obtained and cannot obtain, State licenses. That
they failed to find any evidence whatever of the sale
of liquor in such places seemingly must be accepted
presumptiye proof that the thirty or forty Federal
licenses merely take out to assist the Wilson
administration in making good financial showing
at the end OF the current fiscal year. IT Is astonishing
how patriotic become under favorable sets
Of circumstances Really. it seems almost shame
to send policemen out such hopeless mission
that OF looking for excise violations in local clubs
The Police Department owes to the officers and mem
bers OF the Federal license holding clubs an apology
