means a step forward; - It makes
for the promotion of public clean

health and the general welfare
of the people of town and com

There is but one defect about
this law. Its a Dead Law, at
least life appears to be extinct.
It has been a law ' for a - good
while and if a single property
owner has yet connected with
the sewer system since its enact
ment it has not been brought to
our attention.
An unenforced ordinance is
useless. It might as well be
stricken from the city code if ' it
is not enforced,- , .
We have our town ordinances
for the enforcement and protec
tion of the public peace and for
the encouragment of good mor
als. The enforcement of these
laws has met with the approval
of all good citizens. No one has
the., 1) ar dihopd, to, ask. tb e .town to
abandon the laws.- - x v
If a man gets drunk and dis
orderly he is locked up and made
to feel the majesty of the law.
If a boy shoots "craps" .he is
brought into court and made to
pay tne penalty; it a man en
gages in loud and boisterous
swearing he will be introduced
by the policeman to the mayor,
If one steals, carries a pistol sells
liquor or fights in Marshall he is
hauled into" court, and taught
that the taw must be. respected.
And this is right. Good morals
must be observed; life and prop
erty must be . protected and he
who violates the law in .this "re
spect is, thought to be deserving
of punishment. '
The public health is just as
important as the public peace.
It should be., as vigilantly watch
ed and as carefully protected by
the public authorities. -
The town has spent thousands
of dollars to build side-walks and
streets so that it may keep out
of the mud.' This is wise for
who would go back .to the days of
mud and slush that were once
the plague of Marshall.
Each year we pay hundreds'of
dollars for our public Electric
light System and no one ' would
go back to the days when' dark
ness and mud prevailed.
