quences of the lawbreaker, whether
the lawbreaker is the wealthy man’s
| son with more money than proper
home training, who imperils the live 3
and limbs of the public by driving
while drunk, the ward-heeler who
peddles booze and dope, or the woman
of the streets who destroys the fu¬
ture lives of our boys and girls.
That kind of justice, regardless of
contributory causes that made the
lawbreaker, would concern itself first
with the welfare of the victim or the
prospective victims. That kind of jus¬
tice might or might not be good for
the lawbreaker immediately involv*
ed > but jt would certainly help ma
terially to hold down the new crop
of lawbreakers that is being bred by
misapplied “mercy” - 7 to the present
crop.
Unless justice is applied in the
courts, from the highest to the low¬
est, all the efforts qf the city police
and county shriff’s force, go for
naught. The trouble is not too few
arrests, nor even inadequate evidence,
but too few convictions and too in¬
adequate punishment—Knoxville Jour*
nal.
One Kind of Security
In one section of Texas the crop
failure this year, due to the long
drouth, is even more serious than it
is in this section. The story goes
that the bankers of a certain county
in the stricken area were called upon
by civic bodies to help work out a
plan whereby the farmers could ob¬
tain money with which to make a
crop another year. The bankers,
purely as a matter of business, fiAt
asked what security could be offered.
They were told that the farmers
needing the money had nothing to of¬
fer as security; that they barely had
money to provide food and clothing
for the coming winter months. The
bankers insisted on security, and
made this proposition: Every farmer
who had no automobile, who had done
his best this year, who had a reputa¬
tion for honest fair dealing, could
got what money he needed to make
next year’s crop simply by giving
his promissory note, but the fellow
who had an automobile, and wanted
money, should go back home, jack
up all four wheels of his automobile,
take them off, bring them to the
bank, and with these accessories as
security, could get what money he
needed to make the next crop. With¬
out the wheels, if he owned a ear, he
be flatly refused credit.
We must admit that these bankers
the Lone Star State have a heart
well as plenty of good business
Northeast Georgia bankers
adopt this plan to good ad¬
Star.
