DURANT, of Westfall township. What is said respecting assessors applies with equal force to con stables. The law DUTIES prescribes certain ' OF- ' duties and the CONSTABLES constable takes an oath to perform them to the test of his knowledge and ability. If he neglects 6r refuses, when he baa knowledge of a violation, to make return of the fact he renders himself liable to punish ment. It may be safely asserted that the people are becoming dis satisfied with the non performance of their duties by sworn officials and are more inclined to hold them accountable. We have no malioe and no desire to see any one in jured; but it is the plain duty of every good citizen to see that the law 1b enforced and that every one offend ing its majesty shall be punished. Those who obey the law have rights and every law abiding citizen is entitled to protection. Those who disobey it are not. Constables are clothed with powers a citizen does not have and they have no excuse for assuming the duties of their office and then wilfully neglecting to perform them. Attention was called in last weeks TuKm to the fact that assessors fail to Uittke their assessments a s the law directs r MAKING ASSESSMENTS and as they take an oath to do. The matter is recoiving considerable attontion" in the county, both by officials and property owners, and no doubt an effort will be made to correct the evil. The law provides a remedy and if those who are elected and sworn to perform a certain duty refuse, or neglect, they may be not only oouipellod to obey their oaths but likewise punished if they fail to obey the law.
