Who Knows the Law?
If the published report of the proceed
ings of the last regular meeting of the
common council are correct, and the
writer has no reason to think otherwise,
Mayor Gruhe interrupted Attorney Con
way to make the declaration in reply to
a statement made by Mr. Con was; “There
is no law for closing saloons on Sunday
and election days,” as he had stated, and
the mayor made the declaration witli
considerable warmth.
For the especial benefit of the mayor,
who evidently needs instruction, the
state law is herewith published and is
as follows;

WATERTOWN. JEFFERSON COUNTY. WIS.. OCTOBEK 6. 1911.
to mislead by deception or a misstate
ment of ths fact, that there is no state
law on the subject. The mayor and po
lice force seem to labor under the im
pression, that if a law is violated, it be
comes the duty of private citizens to be
come detectives and do the work for
which officers are paid fairly good sala
ries to perform, make complaints and
put themselves to trouble and expense
by doing that which it is the duty of the
officers to and what they have sworn
to do, if the writer is not greatly mis
taken.
For the benefit of the mayor and those
in authority, we will publish the state
Jaw so that they may see how they are
performing their respective duties.
Section 1553 of the Revised Statutes of
Wisconsin, as amended by chapter 371
of the laws of 1909, is as follows:
“Excise Jaws; enforcement by local
officers; penalty. Section 1553. Every
* * * sheriff, under sheriff and deputy
sheriff, police officer, marshal, deputy
marshal or constable of any town, vil
lage or city who shall know or be credi
bly informed that that any offense has
been committed against the provisions
of any law of this state relating to ex
cise or the sale of intoxicating liquors
shall make complaint against the per
son so offending within their respective
towns, villages or cities to the proper
justice of the peace therein, and for
every neglect or refusal so to do, every
such officer shall * * * be deemed guil
ty of a misdemeanor and shall be pun
ished by a flue not exceeding fifty dol
lars and the cost of prosecution.”
The writer has no desire to be capti
ous, but feels humiliated that we have
officers in the city who are so ignorant
of law, which they never attempt to en
force.

On the Gridiron.
In a football game last Saturday the
local high school team tied Waukesha
high school on the latter’s field in a 5
to 5 game. Coach Jacobson has whip
ped together a fast team in the past few
weeks. Watertown played the modern
forward pass game, while Waukesha
played the game of ten years ago—
nothing but line bucking. Every man
on the local team was in the game from
start to finish, and deserves credit for
holding Waukesha to a tie, especially
since it was their first game played on
the opponents’ field, on a cold, rainy
day. The next game will be in Water
town tomorrow when they play Jeffer
son high school.
