His Eyes C osed by IN Chosen Advice
More Pleasdut to Pursue than Duty.
At the regular term of court, Con-
stable W. H. Runkle, of Centre Hall
borough, if his previous intentions as
announced were carried out, falled to
report drunkenness within the bo-
rough limits, which is his plain duty.
The constable had committed himself
to do so, but later, as he tells the story,
he took advice from individuals, who,
if their names were mentioned here,
would be much humiliated,
The question hr been raised that
the Reporter was in ignorance a3 to
the duties of constabl-s with respect to
reporting drunkenncss in their respec
tive bailiwicks. After quoting a por-
tion of a few ac's of swembly, the Re
porter will rest its case with its readers,
and especially those in Centre Hall
who are affected, to decide whether or
not ity cinim Is based on good grounds,
Let it be said first that ther: is no
disputing the fact that. there was
drunkenness, sud that the men, ina
drunken condition, emerged from the
Centre Hal hotel, The peotacie wes
observed by many.
Act No. 10], approved the 41h das
of June, 1897, by Daniel H Hastings,
contains this provision :
* Constables, in addition to the
powers already conferred upon them
shall and may, without warrant ry
upon view, arrest and commit for
bearing all persons gulity of a breach
of the peace, vagrancy, riotous or die-
orderly conduct or drunkenness, . . ."'
It will be observed that under this
act the constable can arrest only upon
view, that is, he must see the violation
being committed. If, however, the
constable cloees his eycs and purposely
refuses to ‘ view ”” violations of thie
act, the constable himself is guilty of
neglect of duty.
Act No. 53, approved by James A,
Beaver, May 13, 1887, entitled ** an act
to restrain and regulate the sale of
vinous and spiritous, malt or brewed
liquors, or any sdmixtures thereof,”
contains ip section eleven, thee
clauses :
“ ( oustables shall, in the first week
in each term of court of quarter ses-
sions, make returns, under oath, of all
places in his bailiwick where vinous,
spiritous, malt or brewed liquors ,
sresold. . . . And on failure of an
constable to comply with this prov
sion . . . he shal: be guilty of wiifully
or negligently making a false return,
and the court shall suspend him from
office, and direct the district attoruey
to indict ahd try said officer, and if
found gulity he shall be fined in a sum
pot exereding five hundred dollars and
undergo an imprisonment, either sim-
ple or solitary, not exceeding two
years, both or either, in the discretion
of the court.”
The following section js the one that
covers the case, and is reprinted in
full,
** Section 12. It shall be the duty of
each constable in the county to visit,
at least once in each month, all places
within their respective jurisdictions,
where any of sald liquors are sold or
kept, to ascertain if any of the provi.
sions df this or any act of Assembly
relating to the sale or furnishing of
such liquors have been or are being
vio , and WHSHSVSE any of the of-
floers above men SHALL
LEARN of any such violation, it
shall be his duly to forthwith make
written returns cf the same to the
court of quarter s “sions, with the
names of the witnesses, and to do
whatever shall be in his power to
bring the offender to justice ; and u
on any neglect or refusal of any of sa d
officers to performn the aforesaid duty
the said court shall impose the same
penalties provided in section eleven of
this act.”
Particular attention is called to the
two words in capitals, upon which the
whole case is based. It is not neces
sary for the constable to see a man buy
liquor, or to see him drink it. Drunk.
enness in itself is a violation, and it is
also a violation to sell sufficient liquor
to a man to cause him to become in-
toxicated. The constable had knowl-
edge of the drunken condition of the
men in question, and he also had
knowledge that the men in that cone
dition emerged from the Centre Hall
hotel,
Further, the only reason the con-
stable did not view the whole affair
was because of a wall,
Conscious of his duty, the constable
expressed a willingness to report the
violation to the court, but upon the
advice of attorneys, according to the
constable’ own story, he did not per-
form duty,
Now, all attorneys are eourt officers,
and no farther comment on this need

WHAT 1S A GAS?
Well, Here Is Lord Kelvin's Quaintly
Eccentric Definition.
One of the late Lord Kelvin's stu.

to our humorous faculties was due
partly to some personal peculiarities,
partly to the sublimely wvaconlclous
use of very familiar objects ahd ex.

his great thoughts on great things.
Never blessed with powers of clear
enunciation, he had a way of wsestling
