The machinery of the city will soon
be empowered with authority of en
forcing the local option law. For
many weeks the city government hue
been more or lens severely criticized
- for its Inactivity along these lines.
Under the old charter, after the pas
sage of the general local option law,
the city government was deprived of
legal authority to act. - Thin matter
was rectified In the new charter and
the passage of the ordinance passed
last night which will go Into effect
January 4 next, will give the police
department every power and authori
ty that exists by the sheriff or county
officials. The ordinance also provides
the same punishment as the state law.
With this addition a conviction before
the city recorder does not prevent the
county from taking up the same case
and securing a conviction. In other
words, If a violator of the local option
law pleads guilty before the city ro
corder, the records of the city could
be produced before the grand Jury or
the circuit court and would be suffi
cient to convict. It often requires a
little time to get the machinery of
justice revolving and now tnut ine
city officers can no longer remain Hi
lent and blind without exesue, and
the city cun rcaltee an Income from
the fines It In expected that the pres
ent number of violations will soon be
materially reduced.

Those having bills against the city
most remember that hills will not be
allowed the first evening presented.
This, In some Instances, will work a
hardship on some men; however. It Is
the only thing to do. No finance com
mittee can do Itself or the city Justice
by auditing and passing upon a large
butch of bills the night, they are pre
sented. Since the council, under the
n w charter, must meet twice each
month hereafter, claimants against the
city will have no lunger to vil f(
their money than under the system we
tiave been working under.

Because cold weather came on at a
time when the wfntnr In Rock creek
was at a low stage, thereby caualng a
rreczo-iip. that Is the renson why the
Baker Light & Power company has
experienced no end of tribulations
this past week, says the Baker Demo
crat this morning. It la on of tlione
non-preventable things that the
weather ha all to do with, however
much the power company makes an
effort. Manager Ijimlihth suld yes
terday: "The Interrupted service is caused
by l:e lodging in the nozzle at the
Rock. Creek power house. The com
pany has spared no expense to reme
dy this diffleulty nnd Is employing 12
extra men chopping Ice to allow the
flow of water to the reservoir. This
condlilon Is alwnys brought about by
the first freeie. especially when there

drance. A fall of maw will prevent a

How
One- Doctor Siict-ossfully Treats
I'nounioiila.
"Tn treating pneumonia," says Dr.
w.
J. Smith of Sanders, Ala., "the
only remedy I use for the lungs is
Chamberlain's cough remedy. While,
of course, I would treat other symp
toms with different medicines. I have
used this remedy many times in my
medical practice and have yet failed to
find a case where it has not controlled
the trouble. I have used it myself, as
has also my wife for coughs and colds
repeatedly, and I most willingly and
cheerfully recommend it as superior
to any other cough remedy to my
knowledge." For sale by all good
dealers.
