Why Not Enforce Law?

Sir--We have very strict law In this
state regarding the carrying of concealed
weapons. SO why do we not enforce III Why

characters and after arrestins them for
carrying concealed weapons. a conviction
should bc obtsincd rs soon as possible, and
II any outside pressure Is brought to bear
interfering with the course of Justice. adver-

would suggest that all law-abidinE citi-

as much as possible after dark. In order
TO give tho police full sway. This may seem

as much vigilance as possible on the part OF

weapons the law prohibiting tho carrying
of weapons should he enforced. This crime

this can be done Is to make the sentence

The policy Of the open shop and the sweat
shop is TO produce the maximum at the
minimum coet. and the policy Is lived UP to
without the least consideration for humanity.
During the war those inhuman foreigners
sent thousands of raincoats to our over
seas soldiers that were worthless to protect
them from tho rain. Some Of them are In
jail today for It, hut others still are ex-
plotting tho workers and the public. Organ

Philadelphia. January II. 1921.
WoMAN's RESOLUTION
I will tell you OF a fellow.
or fellow I have seen,
Who Is neither white nor yellow.
But he's altogether green.
HIS name Is not 20 charming:
II is only common Bill:
Yet no wishes me 20 wed him
But l hardly think I will
He has whispered OF devotion,
or devotion pure and deep:
But II seoms no very silly,
That I almost fell asleep;
And he thinks II would be pleasant,
AZ we journey down the hill.
To go hand In hand together
But l hardly think I will.
He has told me OF cottage.
or n cottage 'mong the trees.
And don't you think the bloclShead
Got right down upon his knees.
And the tears the creature wasted,
Were enough TO turn a mill;
Yet no wishes mo to- wed him.
But hardly think ! will.
He was here last night to see me,
And he made so long a stay
l began TO think tho fellow
Never meant TO go away.
AZ first ] learned to hate him.
And I know I hate him stll.
But he wishes me to wed him
Yet hardly think will
Now | know ! would not choose him,
But something strange Is in It,
He says II refuse him
He viii not live n minute.
SO you know the blessed Bible
Plainly says You must not l<ilI'';
So I've thought tho matter over,
And I kinda think I will.
