ENFORCE THE LAW.
In putting the lid upon those who would hold prizefights in this city the authorities are taking the only course open to them. There is a state law against prize fighting and it is the duty of the sheriff and of the district attorney to enforce that law. It is also the duty of the city, through its police department, to co-operate in the enforcement of the law. That the city is ready to do its part in this work is evident by the vigorous orders given by Mayor Murphy Saturday.
Pendleton is tired of pugilism and especially of the sort it has been having and will welcome the lid.
