We am- not in favor of wholesale prosecutions in these matters. but still we think the law should be enâ€" forced. The. only thing that puzzles 115 is how this is to be accomplish- ed.

It might cause a certain friction, but with the gov- ernment and the press calling for the enforcement of these reason- able ordinances. if each town or municipality would enforce the law impartially the public would soon fall in line and what 15 now ap- parenty a hardship to some would. with usage. soon become a ‘habit.
