Show whether or not the mayor was justified the other night in giving free lodging to one of the boys who was inclined to be a bit noisy from the effects of lemmon white mule or otherwise is probably a matter of personal opinion but there is little doubt that his action will be boned by the law abiding citizens of the community there has developed among the young fellows of the community as a result of various influences not the least of which is leniency on the part of officials the habit babit of arguing with the peace officer and failing in that some of them have even resorted to assaults upon the cop and have escaped unpunished it was refreshing to learn however howe vei that the mayor refused to be argued out of his decision that the man in in ques question tion should keep his promise and go to bed and that when he refused to go home after promising that he be would a bed was provided for him if there could be less talking and more action in handling those who violate the law there would grow up in a short time a respect for the law which is little dreamed of at this time |
