ENFORCING THE LAW.
‘A just proportion of taxation and
a strict enforcement of the law is
always a fine thing for the other
fellow.” says the LaGrange Graphic.
Which is one way of saying that too
many of us are obsessed with the idea
that we are immune from the provis
ion of the law. What is needed is
that all of us should realize we are
under the law and not delude our
selves to believe that we are above
It. The instant this happens we
become bad citizens; for those who
wilfully evade the law' are not far
from violating it outright.
And Editor Richardson of the La-
Grange Graphic will not undertake to
say that his assertion applies only to
the tax laws, for however much It is
to be regretted, this is the attitude
of a number of us toward many laws.
It is a violation of the law for one to
carry a pistol concealed, and yet there
are many persons who do not regard
l his law as applying to themselves,
and they violate it without the slight
est, pricking of conscience. We have
game laws, making it unlawful to
kill certain kinds of game at a cer
tain period of the year, but men vio
late this law, and they do not believe
that they have not done any great,
wrong. Those who violate these two
laws, if asked whether or not they
believe them to lie good, will unhesi
tatingly say they do. But. as tne
Graphic says of the tax law, they re
gard it as having been enacted for
the other fellow.
It is (he same witli the prohibition
law. Thousands and tens of thousands
cry aloud for the law and its enforce
ment, and yet they do not hesitate to
buy liquor when they want it and
can get it. They think it is a fine
tiling for the other fellow, but do not
regard the law as having been enact
ed for their benefit, when without
doubt, they are among those who in
sist. upon its enactment.
We must get away from the illogi
cal reasoning that the law is a re
specter of persons. All of us must
have proper respect for it. Other
wise we shall go from had to worse
until a state of anarchy will exist
throughout the country, and those
who are regarded as being among
the best citizens —the leaders of the
land —those who should teach others
the way both by precept and example —
will have contributed more largely
to it than any other class, because
they, to whom all are looking for
leadership, are breaking down the
law and trampling it under foot.

Shall we call teh McMichael “bloc”
the “bellyachers’ bloc?’’

half of the pennant race in the South

as soon lick this Albany crowd as
any of 'em.
