Wc are disposed to leave law en->
forcement to the sworn oiBcers of the
law, who have been duly elected or
appointed to this kind of service.
Any attempt to suggest is often re
garded as interference.
Ne^rtheless, the smoke of contin
ual violation*of law — especially of
the prohibition laws — argues the
existence of the hidden fire, which as
yet no official vigilance has been able
to extinguish. This especial kind of
violation is one that in its nature is
most difficult to control. At the same
time it is one thjat most keenly touch
es the public spirit and conscience. If
a law enforcement league can render
any real assistance, if it does noth
ing more than show forth the senti
ment of the community and thus give
law its moral support, it can be of
real service.
If the league aids in the enforce
ment o^ law, it is a good thing. If
it fails to do so, it is useless.. But
it failure or success depends on the
number and kind of citizens compos
ing it. It should not be limited to
just a few members. It needs the-
co-operation of all the citizens of
Brevard to make it effective.

Beware of the merchant who tells
his customer that he can save money
on an article because his competitor
sells a nationally or lo.cally advertised
product which is not any better
quality but costs more because the
cost of advertising is passed on to
the consumer. The increased amount

My Dear Doctor:—
The o^’s head received from you

enlightenment. Lovers of the
church want it, because moral uplift
is their great ideal.
What need, then, of a league?

matter of question. Time was, when
it was a lawless town. Happily, that

Man Tak^s Up the Habitat of
Hermit in Crowded Section
of New York City.
MADE CAVE FOR SELf
Naked Body Reclinea Beneath Mata
of Old Paper* and Rags Which
Completely Fill Room in
Tenement.
New York.—New York city’s East
side—a minute strip on a minor island
—^is, perhaps the most densely popu
lated region on the Western hemi
sphere. And yet it was in this hu
manity-throbbing district that Theo
dore Greesley chose to take up the
habitat of a hermit. It was in the
spot where more persons liv^ and
have their being than any other in
this country that this old man, long
bearded and gray, sought to withdraw
from all human contact.
Up on the third floor and to the
right of a dull, brown tenement at
129 Chrystle street there’s a small
room, which, along with its few
chairs, its small bed and a picture or
two, Mrs. Alice Bernard had rented to
Theodore Greesley Six years ago. She
had seen little of him since. He
would call to pay the rent occasion
ally—It was only .$1.50 a week. For
almost a montli Mrs. Bernard had not
seen tlie old man at all, nor had any
one else.
Police Chopped Door Down. '
So tills ^landlady trudged up the
three flights of steps to find out what
had happened.^ She stopj>ed at the
door of the small room atid listened.
There was no soui^and her rappings
went unheeded, pi-en unlocking the
door did not g^n for her admittance.
Frightened she called the polic^^. Two
sturdy Irishmen tried their weight
against the portal but they bailed to
move it.
A Are ax finaliy chopped an en
trance. but ifpon a strange scene. The
room was literally packed with oid
newspapers and rags. Tliey were
v.-edged in so completely that they
had barred tlie .<w?nging of th" door.

On one side wa» an indication of a
passage or tunnel into this strange
hillside of papers and rags. And into
it the policemen burrowed. They fol
lowed "several feet until they came to
a wider opening—a cave in this un
usual artificial mountaii^ It was about’
four feet wide and not more than two
feet in height.
It left only room enough for a small
man to curl up in a reclining posi
tion, And that was the position in
wliich they found Theodore Greesley
—dead,' stark naked except for the
covering of his long and tangled
beard. '
