The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-03-28
Campaign Against Idlers

We have seen about a dozen
loafers this morning, and only one
OF them was a darkey.-Ocala
Star.
The Herald has been urged to
make a "spiel" against all kinds
of idlers, but we don t know why.
We see no loafers or idlers on the
streets of Punta Gorda. If any cit
izen knows of any such wretch
here and will give The Herald his
name, it will be sent promptly to
the county sheriff, who knows
what to do and, furthermore, he
knows his duties under the laws
and is not afraid to- enforce them.
We have one of the best sheriffs in
Florida, and the only objection we
have to him is really an objection
to the law, which he is sworn to
enforce. 1t is the law against
gambling, which requires him to
arrest negro crap shooters"
which we think is as ridiculous as
would be a law against boys play
ing marbles for keeps"
