Officer Reinstated

Chief of Police at Elkton, w. Cou-

his "heartstrings" were made of put
ty in the matter of helping friend

The mayor, however. fastened to
explain that he had failed to re-
appoint Reynolds, not because the
latter had refused to change an au-
tomobile driving charge the officer
made against one of his friends, but
because the officer had slept on duty
and had spent too much time fishing
and cunning.

Granted License De-
spite Protest

The Board of License Commits
sioners of Cecil County have seen
fit tc grant al beer saloon license to
one Rose Coyle, despite the protest
of a delegation from our town, and
a largely signed petition asserting
the license was unnecessary.
The place of business is located
just on the western outskirts of Ris-
ing Sun, and as there were already
three beer emporiums in our town
and two more just on the eastern
outskirts of town, with third one
about a quarter of mile further
along, our citizens felt ample provi-
sion had already been made, no mat
ter how thirsty a person might be-
come.
The Coyle woman was refused a
license at road house east of Cal
vert, some time ago, one of the
agreements being the proximity of a
school.
The Rising Sun high school and
elementary school are in closer
proximity to the place of business
just granted license, than the school
at Calvert to road house where the
Coyle woman was refused license.
but the Board of Commissioners
saw fit to grant the license just the
same. The granting of beer licenses
to almost every Tom, Dick and Harry
in our county, who makes applica-
ton has become SO general that the
temperance people have become
pretty thoroughly disguised with the
whole sloppy beer business, and are
making an issue of it in the present
primary campaign.
