The unprovoked murder of a Mum
Gle policeman Sunday is one ct those
heinous offenses that has absolutely
no justification.
AS the Times-Tribune has been In
formed, the man who did the shoot
ing was in q state Of frenzy, not
maudlin, but n mean, vicious frame
of mind because Of too much poor
liquor.
1t was to protect the wife from the
brutal assault Of half-drunken brute
of a husband that the policemen were
called. officer Hellis got the bullets
of the wanton brute and drunken
wretch.
The law is not one-half strict
enough with violators of the liquor
laws, More drastic enforcement of
the statutes is necessary. The way
hootleggers and blind pig keepers are
punished is a huge joke. The law
should have some teeth" in 1t, teeth
that will hold their grip once they
are sunk into the dirty hide of the
booze law breaker.

family support. In one large city this
