Of Arrest

Judging from the following letter

Following is the letter.. 8.
Bismarck, March 25.-Chief of Pol
ice, Bismarck, N. D. Dear Sir:-l take
this opportunity and means to direct
your attention to the provisions of
the motor vehicle registration law of
the state, a copy of which is enclosed.
In particular you will please observe
that to operate a motor vehicle with
q 1918 tag or no tag at all. is a mis-
demeanor punishable by fine or I'M
prisonment.
The department has now issued ap.
p~roximately 5000 licenses to motor
vehicle owners. Judging then, from
the registration figures Of last year
there q be no less than 5000 motor
vehicle owners who are evading and
violating the law. A certain percent.
age of this number is no doubt to be
found in your city and in the ada
cent country. The fact that these peo-
pie are violating the law should be
brought home to them most f0rcibly.
A few arrests in the more fragrant
cases would have a very wholesome
and salutary effect upon all the others
Full publicity should be given each
case.
/ trust that I need not state to
you any reasons or arguments why
this particular law should be rigidly
enforced. for the reasons are plain
and obvious. You know the duties OF
your own Office. The department will
take instant action upon the receipt

Striking miners in Baltic were not
even allowed to have beer in their
houses. And if they did have any,
deputies would break into the house,
seize the beer and carry it off to the
mines. And all this time many of
the deputies were running blind pigs
on the side with the company's per-
mission.
The men who made up the per-
sonnet of the Waddell-Mahon strike
breaking staff were mostly ex-con-
victs, dope f1ends and men who had
been arrested several times for minor
offences i'll the East.
''The police blotter at the station
at South Range will show strike
breakers names on it for every day
since the strike began. They were
always getting drunk and causing
trouble.

right hand man, told me the day after
his house was burned down, fire of
unknown origin, that for every nail
in that house he would break the
head Of a striker.

The records will show that every
Waddell-Mahon who has caused Sc

has been spirited out of the county
so that they cannot be punished for
their crimes.

WAVE Of CRIME
STILL HAS ATLANTA
FIRM IN ITS GRIP

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 2S.-To make
an unusual effort to cope with the
wave of crime which has struck At
lanta with the cold weather Chief
Beavers is asking council for four
police sub-stations to be located in
various parts of the city, an innova-
ton long needed by Atlanta. Several
of the present fire engine houses prob
ably will be used. several call officers
on motorcycles being stationed there
and few cells built in the rear.
Atlanta has grown to cover SO much
territory that it is useless to call a
policeman from the central station,
which may be several miles from the
scene of the crime.
The chief blames the drug habit and
the newspapers for much of the in
crease in crime. He says seventy per
cent. of the recent crimes are due to
the terribly increasing use of heroin,
cocaine and other drugs, which are
sold in vast quantities despite the
laws. The newspapers, he says, are
oopctopfIxy ~ rim Tin er -tnrSac of hold upc
and robberies in which the thieves get
safely away and this inspires others to
try it-and they get away, too.
Probably a police censorship on
news will be established 1t has been

plished its desired results.
