It is Now up to Mayor John son to Show his Sincerity and Make Good. Mavor Johnson’i letter to the city council about the enforcement of law in certainly a commendable document if the spirit of the communication is carried out to the letter. All that we need aav in regard to it is that it looks to us that the Mayor has been on the wrong side of the fence and is now ready to do the right thing. Rut whv this sudden change of front for the enforcement of law ? It is certainly surprising to us. It was Mayor Johnson and a number of others who ran out of town a detective who was sent here by the District Attorney, and at the taxpayers'expense, to round up the violators of the law, which was a most serious offence in itself. Although we are informed that the Mayor regret, ted his hasty action when sober judg ment prevailed, it soon had its demoral izing effect. The parties who were ar rested then were selling liquor without a license and to prove whether the Mayor is sincere in what he says, it is not too late for the city attorney to prosecute these cases. Another case wc wish to cite. A complaint, was sworn to by J. J. Rupp against Tom Browne for using as profane and disgusting language as was ever heard in this citv. He pleaded guilty in the justice court with the ex pectation ot getting off with a small fine, but the justice surprised him by im posing a fine of $50, which was paid. It seems that Browne went to Mayor John, son and City Attorney Talmage and told them what he did, the result of which is a writ of review has been filed in the cir cuit court for the purpose of getting the money back. It is not too late for the mayor and the city attorney to enforce the city ordinance for using abusive lan guage against Browne. It is his second offence, lor he used disgusting language before to the annoyance of on« of the churches in the citv on a Sunday morn ing, and Mayor Botts sworeout the com plaint, which make a good precedent for Mayor Johnson to follow. The Mayor says : “The city attorney, if requested so to do, will assist the district attorney in prosecutions in the state court.’’ We. therefore, make the request that the city attorney and the mayor assist the state in the Browne writ of review now land ing in the circuit court, and as they are attorneys for the defendant in this case they will have to do the somersault act to square themselves. We simply mention these few facts to show how dif ficult it was for the county officials to en force law and punish offenders when the city officials work in the opposite direc tion. But we do not want to keep harp ing on these matter, but the Press and the public can only judge public officials by the record they have made and are making in being lined up with th«»se who are opposed to or a re in favor of law and order. We believe that Mayor Johnson down it. his heart is wanting to do what is right for the city, and whatever indiscretion he may be guilty of in the past will soon be forgiven and forgotten if the city officials will prosecute the cases we have mentioned above, which will be the best kind of evidence the peo ple can have that Mayor Johnson is sincere in bis effort to round up the boot leggers and others for violating city ordirances. Mayor Johnson has made public what he will do, and the Press in behalf of the people of this city have cited three clear cases where he can make good, for the records are prima fade evi dence that they are guilty by their own co n fessi on s._____________ Now’s the " Time ” to “Spruce Up."
