Why Is Not the Law Enforced?

Some days ago one of our city
officers acknowledged to me that
he didn't attempt to enforce the
law against swearing in public,
and also said that he had not
been instructed to enforce said
law by the mayor and council.
When | wrote a short article
about this confession, he replies
by intimating that | asked him
to arrest an aged man for swear
ing in public. This is absolutely
untrue. | did not ask him to ar
rest anyone. The man | referr-
ed to must not have been over
thirty-fve years of age. ! was
not referring to anyone particu-
lar case, but to the fact that
there is no effort made to en-
force the said law. This is ac-
cording to his own statement.
The blame for the failure to en-
force the law in Newport rests
upon someone. He says that he
was not instructed by the mayor
and council to enforce the law
against swearing in public. |
suppose that is the reason he
does not enforce the law against
bawdy houses in our city. A re-
liable citizen said to me yester-
day that comparatively every
ten year old girl in the town
knew where they were. 1t is a
disgrace to the town. Who is to
blame? 1t is time the decent
people of this town were finding
where the fault lies. 1t is a
challenge to every pure man and
woman. Are we going to sneak
around like towards?
The writer of the article De-
fore mentioned asks why | do
not enforce the rules of the
church against swearing. ]
have no more power in a Baptist
church than a ten year old child.
who is a member. | am trying
to enforce it. But that is not
parallel case to the violations of
the laws Of the state and city.
| refuse to enter into a scrip
ture quoting contest with such
parties. | don't know what he
had in view in his quotation. !
am sure if man keeps himself
unspotted from the world" he
will try to enforce the law.
Yours for law and enforce
ment,

presented no special difficulties.
The road, which at three O'Clock
that morning had been dry, was
full of water, but we had no
trouble getting through the
mud. The Bayou DeView Levee
was pretty much the same as
that from Newport to Grubps.
