sourse OF such violations. The report
suggested the organization of a citi-
zens' vigilance committee to cooperate
with law enforcement officials In Sc
curing evidence sufficient for the prose-
cution of those responsible for the vio-

Soon after that, about rs or 80 citi-
Zens organized a committee along the
lines suggested in the grand jury re-

Numerous reports were made to the
states attorney and to the chief Of
police, as to what these Investigations
had revealed. The committee did not
confine its Investigations to violations
of the liquor laws, but included nu-
merous infractions of other laws and
city ordinances.

1t intimates that II spite of all ef-

been given and is not now being given.
The league, in short, intends, II law
enforcement cannot be secured in any
other way, to proceed against the dere-
lict public officials, whoever they may
be, who are shown to be responsible for
failure to enforce the laws.
d. B. Fargason, recently elected pres
ident of the Law Enforcement league,

ton of the advertisements Sept. 1, a
number of men have Joined the league,
while several reports Of lack of zeal, or
absolute refusal OF police officers and
others have been reported. One or two
such instances will be referred to the
grand jury at its next session.
THE league Is simply an organiza-
ton Of men who believe that some
steps must be taken, and taken now,
to see that public officials either en-
force the laws, or give place to men
who will enforce the laws said Mr..
Fargason. IF people of Memphis who
want all the laws enforced will join us,
the organization will be so strong that
1t can WELD influence that cannot be
opposed.
This is a matter in which all good
citizens must act together. The league
has absolutely no political affiliations,
no political purpose, In fact II sole
purpose. to see that every public Off
cial fulfils the duties Of his office"
