Should the movement prove a failure. then the remedy can be applied, just as if ought to be, by the regularly constituted police force. of which the mayor is chief by virtue of his office. Let the mayor issue manifesto to the police that the sale of liquor illegally must cease and charge the police officers with the duty of enforcing the law without fear or favor. and penalty of dismissal from the force if the duty Is not performed If this were done it's safe bet that there would be an end 10 that partic- ular evil.
