figures sufficient to challenge your
most serious attention and list your
most thoughtful consideration?
What we need is not more legis
lation, so much as an enforcement
of what we have.
The cause of the present condi
tion is the failure of the courts to
properly and speedily enforce the
law. And one reason why the
courts have been so derelict is be
cause public sentiment has not
been behind the courts. For, gen
tlemen, no law can be successfully
enforced unless public sentiment is
behind the enforcement of that law.
Whenever public sentiment crystal
izes in favor of the enforcement of
the laws of our land, then jurors
will indict, jurors will convict, and
judges will punish to such an ex
tent that crime will practically
cease, and law and order will pre
vail. For whenever a person knows
that if he violates the law and is
caught he will have a speedy trial,
a „d if convicted he will receive
punishment adequate to the crime,
then, and not until then, will per
sons cease to commit crime.
Gentlemen, you who compose
the Grand Jury and those who
compose the Traverse Jury, are a
part, and an important part, of this
court The position of a juror is
not one whit less in responsibility
than that of the judge on the bench.
For gentlemen, the most vital
force today*in creating public sen
timent in a county is a Grand Jury.
And the greatest power to deter
crime in a community is a brave,
fearless, vigilant Grand Jury. If
_ ve had such in every county in
this State, and if every Grand Jury
in Georgia would doits full duty,
it, sworn duty, crime would he re
duced to a minimum. And if every
Traverse Jury, following the splen
did example of the Grand Jury,

would do its full duty, crime would
practically cease in Georgia.
Do you ask why it is necessary
for a Graud Jury to be so diligent,
so energetic in presenting viola
tions of the law? It is because it
is necessary in order to protect life,
preserve property and secure peace
and happiness to the people.
The supreme ideal of man has
ever been to attain the greatest
happiness. And this can only come
from the consciousness of peace
and security at home, and the pro
tection of life and property.
Crime is the greatest menace to
perfect happiness, complete secure
ity and a tranquil life.
Do away with crime and thgre
would be no poverty. Stop crime
and there would be no necessity for
jails and chaingangs. Suppress
crime and you will save two-thirds
of your taxes.
It is your duty as citizens, it is
your sworn duty as jurors, to do
everything in your power to stop
crime, to suppress lawlessness. It
is your duty to use your influence,
by precept and example, to create
a sentiment in favor of law and
order.
For every good citizen should not
only stand for everything that is
right, but should be against every
thing that is wrong. We cannot
afford to compromise with crime.
Every violation of a criminal stat
ute is a crime, and fevery crime
hurts somebody, or it hurts society.
Gentlemen, I regret to say that the
neglect of the children o* thiscoun
try is the most distressing element
in our civic and domestic life. Un
intentionally and unconsciously,
seemingly, the fathers and mothers
are neglecting their children, turn
ing them loose on the streets and
highways, the prey to the vicious
and lawless, to grow up In a school
of vice and sin, and finally graduate
in a school of crime.
I shudder at the great responsibil
ity that rests upon parents in this
day in the rearing of their children.
I desire to impress upon yon, today,
that the home is the field that pro
duces the wheat or the tares.
As the home ideals rise to a knowl
edge of what the citizen in the State

should be, or falls short of that re
quirement, so will the child gain or
suffer. So will the State profit or
lose A child in the home is a cit
izen of a very small State. If he is
taught to live up to the requirements
and duties of that little State, he
will, when grown up, be prepared to
enter into the higher and more im
portant duties and responsibilities
of the civic life, with habits and
ideas that will help make him a good
citizen.
When a child is taught the habit
of thinking, feeling and doing right
tilings, he is apt to be swept with
the tide into the current of right
living.
It is in the home life, when the
child is young, that the habits are
formed that determine the destiny of
the child.
Eet the child be allowed to be
wayward and deficient of parental
control; let it go unrestrained in its
desire to have its own way in the
little things about the house, and
that child will rebel against its
teacher's authority; will violate the
rules of the school, and in later life
is liable to hold in haughty disdain
the authority and the laws of the
State.
When parents fully realize the im
portance of properly training their
children to obey the authority of the
home and the school, the State will
have little trouble witli that child.
But if the training at the home is
neglected, or carelessly performed,
the child will grow up to bring dis
honor and shame upon the family
name.
Not only while serving on the
Grand Jury, but as citizens of this
county, will you not stand for the
law, support the law, hold up the
hands of the officers who are trying
to do their duty in suppressing crime?
Encourage the Traverse Jurors who
finally pass upon the facts in the
case, that they may be brave, fear
less and conscientious in the dis
charge of their full dnty.
The cause of three-fourths of the
crimes in this country is the result
of three things—whisky, pistols and
gambling. Free our country from
these curses, and the cause of law-,
lessness will be practically elim- j
inated.
These three vices go hand-in-hand.
They are almost inseparable. Arid
their natural sequence is "'ritten in!
nearly every crime committed.
Gentlemen, I believe that the.
law-abiding people of this country j
have about reached the conclusion'
that they have tolerated these banes
of society long enough—that it is
time that they be suppressed.
The safety of your homes, the
purity and the happiness of your
children, the serenity and joy of
your old age, all, all depend upon
the suppression of these evils.
Whisky, pistols and gambling are
the greatest evils that curse and
blacken our fair land. They are per
nicious. They blight with a scorch
ing fire all they touch. They have
caused more heartaches, greater sor
row and more withering woe to the
physical and moral manhood and
womanhood of our land than all
other evils combined.
There are sufficient laws on our
statute books to suppress these evils,
and there is sufficient machinery in
the courts to reach them. It is with
the juries of the State whether they
are stopped.
