PRAISE FOR THE MAYOR

Before Ed Oyprholspr was elected
mayor he snid he would enforce the
laws. He didn't single out any partlc.
ular city or state law and make the
race On It. He said the laws" and
evidently he meant just what he said.
At least that is just what the mayor
of Oklahoma city is doing
II must he admitted that the mayor
is considerably handicapped In one
way and another. When he took
charge of the office he was compelled
10 work with 80 umterial at hand,
for the clvll service regulations kept
In office those that were already
there, 10 great extent Complaints
have been made that this material
was not all thnt II should have been
For instance, when Il raid was planned
II was found that the boutleggers knew
NJ II almost Hs soon uS the police them
selves found II out. When the raid
was made, Of course, nothing was
found.
But It will also have To be admit
ted that the mayor has done mighty

city. The dives are no longer In ey
iStence and the gambling houses have
been closed. The hip pocket bootleg
ger may be working and probably
there will always be some traffic pt
that kind, but oklahoma city Is tU

This is the first time In years that
the city and county ofhclnls have
worked together for the enforcement
Of law. The result is proving very
