ANOTHER SUNDAY.

Tomorrow brings TO US another Sun
day, the third since the arraignment
of the county and city officials by the
grand jury at the conclusion of its
recent session.
The arraignment was taken more
seriously by the city than by the coun-
~ officials; al least the city officials
were able to get immediate action and
results According TO those who know
conditions in the county, they have
changed very little. Out of town news
papers have gone so far as TO put their
finger directly on certain places and
resorts, giving the time at which drinks
were sold there. the number in the
places and other complete data.
If it is possible for newspapers TO
find and publish such information. why
are the county officials so inefficient
as TO be unable to do the same? An
napolis has suffered long from the
black eye handed her through lawless-
ness in certain parts of the county.
and is anxious to see these places
closed up and lid that will fit put in
place.
Will the conditions tomorrow be the
same as the last two as wesl as the
preceding Sundays? After the direct
information furnished by last Mondays

officials could fail to see the path SO
plainly shown them.

following out of their orders. and un-
