Taking Police to Task.
To the Editor of the Daily Intel
ligencer:
1 don't desire to be a grouch,
for of all the most contemptible
people in this wide world, I think
a real grouch is the objectionable.
Nor do 1 wish to become a chronic
fault linder, because all thinking
men are aware that Shakespeare's
words were true when he said,
it is easy fault finding." It re
quires no brain, no talent, nor self
denial to set up in the grumbling
business, but it seems to me that
1 have run across a problem that
is unexplainable unless some' ol
our wise city fathers come to the
rescue. 1 was always taught that
what ever was sauce for thc gan
der was sauce for the goose, lt
seems as if it is different in our
fair city. Our wise police de
partment is so good as to furnish
a patrolman for all busy points on
our streets, to see that people ob
serve the "Drive to the right" or
dinance. This is a wise precau
tion perhaps, but it does look odd
to see two well groomed men
standing out in the street all day
long just for the purpose of tell
ing the few stragglers that failed
to know that such an ordinance is
on the book.
1 thought they had the inter
est of the city at heart, to say
the least of it, even when they
called on a man about my size
and personal appearance, to ex
plain why he had neglected to
block or hitch the horse that
pulled the express wagon, while
he went into a store to deliver a

er called on him to pay into the
city treasury live hard earned dol
lars, I only thought that the of
flcrs had been dreaming of the
awful wrecks that could so easily
be caused by the staid old horse
running away with that heavy
wagon down Main street.
I know that such carelessness
has really been the cause of the
death or serious injury of help
less women or poor innocent lit
tle children, for this reason I made
really no kick about the fine, 1
just proceeded to learn how to
block a horse. I think by this
time I am adept at this art if noth
ing else. I do know how to fas
ten my horse every time before 1
leave him, even for one 'single
minute.
As a boy 1 never objected to
"seeing the bottle dance" or join
ing the several secret societies
for which fun loving young folks
are note J; because I "was always
thinking of the fun soon to come
to me oui of seing, the other fel
low come through. That is the way
I felt when that hard earned
"fiver" slipped from my fingers. I
said deep down in my neart then,
I would not tie thconly "goat"
and really got a little pleasure out
of anticipating seeing the other
fellow frown when be, too, had to
take double dose of "recorder
quinine."
Ever since that memorable day,
I have watched to see the frown
settle on the other fellow's face. I
did not do this because I was an
xious to see any one get in trou
ble, but in so much as it was to
happen I thought lt no harm to
see the spectacle. Not a single
day has passed but what several
unsuspecting driver went in and
left Iheir horses absolutely foot
loose on the square. 1 tried to
make myself think that the traffic
policeman as well as the others
who were passing about were so

On Monday the 19th, a friend
and myself went ? down to make
sure that horses were really left
standing without block or other
system of hitching. We saw teams
)n the square in this condition. 1
was still in hope the city govern
ment were in favor of feeding all
out of the same spoon till the
next day which was last Tuesday,
when 1 actually saw the chief and
honorable recorder turn off their
course for one that was not satis
lied with standing loose on the
street proper, but had placed his
feet upon the side walk and was
actually poking hi?, head into the
'aces of the crowd as they serged
along.
Then is when I began to won

if I had done anything that would
put me "in bad" with these offi

has slipped my recollection. 1

there is a single man in the city

do that kind of stunts. Now I feel
that this was an outrage, because
I have to stop and go into the

others are called to leave their

is but little involved in blocking ?

can't see why it is worth a fine
if such magnitude, for. me to do a
thing that other people are doing
every day-right undef the very
eyes of the very officers, and they
railed to get even a reprimand. I
am in favor of this law. I wish
to see it enforced, but I do think
they ought to stop horses from be

else give me my five bucks back
