THE OMAHA' DAILT KKHj SXtttoDAt, AOTARY 27, 1906. MICREY KEEPS IIAXDS OFF Oortnior Bays it is Duty of Mayor to Enforce Law in Omaha. ANSWER TO LETTER FROM OMAHA PEOPIE Wrl(r Told Charges AgaJast Mem here of Flro Pallaa Cam. ImIm Will Ba Consid ered aad Tiled. I From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 2. (Special.) Oovernir Mickey ha put It up to Mayor Moore of Omaha to enforce the Slocumb law. This the governor did In a letter addressed to Rev. Clyde C. Clssel, John Dale and Dr. C. F. Clark of Omaha, a committee ap pointed by the Brotherhood of Hanscom park Methodist church to tell the governor of the great victory the Civic Federation achieved, when , the saloon men agreed to close their placet of business on Sunday and to demand of Governor Mickey that he us the "adequate authority" at his rnmmand to enforce the provisions of the Slocumb law. In his letter which he sent out todsy the governor denied thst he had any au thority to Interfere with the enforcement of" law In Omaha except In cases of riot which oould not be controlled by the local authorities, and. ha calls ths attention of the committee to the fact that he ap- pntned (our oat of the five police commls sloners, and that If these men are not do Ing their duty. It the committee will nie charges with him, he will hear, the com plaints and will remove the offenders, pro viding the evidence would justify such a move. His letter follows: 1 Letter of Governor. Upon my return to the office, after an lllneaa of several days' duration. I And uoon my desk your telegram of January is, also aignea oy jonn ume ana ur. u. f . Clark, requesting me "to use, without delay, the adequate authority at your command for i ue strict enforcement or the Hlocumb law. etc." 1 am sincerely glad that the moral people of Omaha have at last discovered i hut they have remedies under the law nd thai they are disposed to make use of those remedies, as Is evidenced by the regime which ha recently been Inaugurated in the city with reference to the Sunday closing or saioor.s. ine results that have been accomplished In this particular In stance emphasise more forcibly than any words of mine the fact that the law Is ample and that the execution of It rests In the main with the people of Omaha and i lie local omcers which tney elect. With reference to this Idea of law en forcement allow me to quote to you sec tlon 84, chapter xil-a. Complied Statutes of Nebraska, 11W6, the law here quoted being applicable to umana: '(Mayor .Enforcement of the Law) It shall be the duty of the mayor to enforce the laws of the state and the ordinances of the city to order, direct and enforce. through the officers of the police depart ment, the arrest and prosecution of per sons violating such laws and ordinances, to co-operate with and assist the sheriff of the county In suppressing riots and mobs and the arrest and prosecution of persons charged with crimes ana misdemeanors. As having a further bearing upon the power ef the mayor as the chief executive ofllcer of your city I further call your at tention to section 25, same chapter above referred to: "The mayor shall be the chief executive omrer and conservator of the peace throughout the city and shall have the power, by and with the concurrence of the Hoard of Fire and Polioe Commissioners, to appoint any number of special policemen which he may deem necessary to preserve the peace of the city and to dismiss the same at pleasure. He shall have auch juris diction as may lie vested In him by ordi nance over all places within three miles of the corporate limits or tne city ror me en foreement of any health quarantine ordi nance or regulation thereof." It will thus bo seen that the law spe cifically recognises the mayor as the chief executive officer of Omaha, and as such officer it becomes his sworn duty to enforce every law of the state and every ordinance of the city. There la. n syllable of lw whlcfrVbnstftules fne ' governor the chief executive office: cf Omaha or any other city. In- the very nature of things there could be but one person charged with com plete executive power In your city, and thst power having oeen conferred upon the mayor by law, the same cannot be shared by any other person, o rar as my con nectlon with the government of the city of Omaha Is concerned, save In cases of Insurrection, riot or some extraordinary disturbance which the local peace officers cannot control, It Is limited to the appoint ment of four of the five members of the Fire and Police board, the mayor being the exception. If the members or the board so appointed are remiss In duty the law provides that written charges may be filed attains! such officials, the same to be In vestigated by m?. If the testimony dis closed st the hearing shall prove the truth of the charges, then It is provided that the con--''ioner shall be removed and another -ointed in his place. This is all the conpe-tlon there Is between the gov ernor's office and the administration of law In Omahn. As you will see from the section of law o:intd. the duty of upholding the su rnemacr of the law rests primarily with the mayor. If your mayor Is not alive to Vis responsibilities and does not perform his full duty under the statutes, that Is re-talnlv sn unfortunate condition or ar f"lrs and the blame must laraely rest upon toe who elected him to office. The very fart that within the last few weeks you l"ve succeeded la enforcing the isw rela five to Rnndsy closing Is conclusive evl fler.ee that If you will make use of the remedies nlreadv conferred upon you by ! sit Ml greater Improvements csn be P'tde with re'erence to purity of govern r-'nt within the corporate limits of your city. Appeals Case laTotvlaar Farm.

" They toss about, are rest less, their breathing-is heavy and there are symptoms of night sweats. The next morn ing I start with Scott's Emul sion. The chances are that in a day or two they are all over it. Their rest is again peaceful and the breathing normal." Here's a suggestion for all mothers.
