DO POLICE UPHOLD
THE DISPENSARY.
Governor McSweeney Writes Mayors
and Intendants.
Gov. McSweeney recently reduced
the number of constables
employed by the State to aid in
the enforcement of the dispensary
law. The results have apoarently
proved satisfactory, for the
chief executive is looking around
for means to enable the number
of constables to be still further
reduced.
With what end in view he has
written the mayors of towns and
citieB asking them to use their efforts
to have the local police enforce
the dispensary law. lie has
elso asked each of them to express
a candid opinion of his
views in regard to the enforcement
of the law. Following is the
governor's letter:
Dear Sir : As the head of vonr
town's share of the profits. 1
there is no dispensary in you
town the dispensary law must b
enforced any way,, and violator
of it brdught to ju6tifee, and pro
vision witf be niad& to have i
done if your local Authorities ar
unable to do so. I am satisfies
that with the proper effort on th'
part of the cities * and towns o
this State, with their local police
the dispensary law can be bette
enforced, and with less frictioi
municipal government, I take it
that you are interested in the
maintenance of law and order. I
feel that I can and that I have a
right, as governor of the State, to
call upon you to aid in any effort
that is made for the public weal
and the proper enforcement of
law. It is contrary to the ordinances
of your municipality, be
cause it is forbidden by the constitution
of the State, that any
liquor should be sold other than
as provided by the disDonsarv
law. If yon have a dispensary you
share in the profits from the sale
of liquors through the dispensary.
In view of this fact, if not on the
higher ground that to sell whiskey
in any other way is a violation
of law, I feel that you should,
through your police force, put
down the illicit sale of whiskey
in your city or town. I desire to
know if 1 can depend on you to
see that the dispensary law is enforced
and violators of it are arrested
and brought before the
proper legal tribunals for trial. I
ask your aid in this matter and
would be glad to have your views
on the subject.
I desire to further reduce the
constabulary force, and, if possible,
to remove them from tho
cities and towns, except it may
be to aid the local police in work
ing up special cases. If in your
judgement your local police is
unable to stop the illicit sale of
whiskey in your town, I would be
glad to have you say so frankly.
In that eyent I will then know
how to proceed.
I desire to have the dispensary
law enforced, and shall spare no
means within my power to see
that it is. I hope to have it done
with as little friction as possible
and by the ordinary legal machinery
of the State. In case
that cannot be done, then I shall
use the cnnntiilnilarir
U1M1 J lUi V>U Willi
all the power given l,y the law
Our business is to see that the
law is enforced. If any city or
town is unable to enforce the law
and to stop the violations of it,
and State constables have to be
sent there. I shall recommend
to the State board of control that
the expenses of these constable*
be paid out of the city's or
v r; % . . i! ' :

than by State constables. Tlx
only question is will the city an<
town councils give that aid whicl
is necessary. That is the infor
mation I am now seeking througl
you as the head of your municipa
government. Your early atten
tion to this matter is desired.

The tragic death Thursday
morning of a Christian wife ant
mother of which 1 gave The Statt
a short notice, has excited thi
sympathy in interest ot this com
munity and each succeeding houi
and day brings to light thai
which promises to be one of tb?
blackest crimes in the historv ol
this part of the country.
On Thursday morning at hal

I the shocking charges against him
I And it is believed when tiled fi<
will be called upon to answer be
fore a righteous judge for tin
blood of his wife.
At the coroner's inquest tin
verdidt was that she came to hedeath
by a rill?- shot in unknown
hands. So unexpected and Iragi
was this murder that every on
was paralyzed to act, and wh?*i
the coronor's court was over uat
urally all thought that the mys
terious atTair would be burie<
with its victim. Hut not so. Mui

forth from the sephulcher of th
dead ; the cry of tho motherles
infant haunts the atmosphere an
calls for vengeance. As to wh<

t even from his own evidence, that
e he must pay the penalty. The
1 prisoner claims that it was sui

mother.
i It is safe to say that, if it had
1 not been for older and wine heads
- last night the one or ones who
did this awful deed would have
sickened the risiner sun with their
ghastly faces suspended between
earth and sky.
"J The circumstances connected

press would blush to present it
to the eyec of the people, and our
