CONTEMPT FOR LA W.
That there ia a widespread, almost
universal contempt for law cannot be
questioned by anybody who has his
eyes and ears and mind open. And
this ia the peril of the situation. What
one man thinks may be of little weight
in the community; what the whole
community, or a majority of it, be
lieves is quite another matter.
It is unnecessary to point out the
dangers of this popular contempt for
law. One who cannot see these dan
gers would not see them even if pointed
out to him. But herein lies the peril.
The man who takes his opinions altO'
gether from his neighbors and does no
thinking on his own account, is blind
and doesn't know it.
That this contempt for law leads to
lawlessness and the lax enforcement of
law is as logical as cause and effect;
and this crop of evils is prolific of many
other evils. Evil not only produces its
liko; it multiplies Bpecies, if it does not
originate new genera. A man who has
contempt for law will have no respect
for anything sacred.
Who is responsible for this contempt
of law? People generally are in part
responsible for it. There are not many
disputes or differences between neigh
bors that might not be settled out of
court. And yet when men become an
gered they rush into court with mat
ters that are as small as the disputes
of children. The number of trifling
cases that havo been docketed and tried
in the courts of Georgia, from Justice
Courts all the way to the Supreme
Court, irmktt up a catalogue of absur
dities thnt would be amusing if it were
not so seiious. Take, for instance, the
disputes thut have gone into the courts
about land linos. These suits have
cost litigantB many times more than
the land in question was worth.
Much of this attitude of the people
towards law is justly chargeable to law
yers. There ore, of couro, many hon
est and conscientious lawyers: but no
profession is more discounted by un
worthy members than the legal profes
sion. Even unworthy preachers do not
discount the ministry more than un
worthy lawyers discount the gentlemen
of the bar, and, unfortunately, the law
itBelf. The impression haB gotten
abroad that the worst criminal can
escape justice entirely, or at leaBt de
lay the enforcement of the law against
hlm'indeflnitely, if he can only put up
•enough money to carry the case
through all the courts. Every man
charged with the violation of law has a
right to a fair trial and the services of
an attorney; but to shield a guilty man
from punishment by legal quibbles and
technicalities is in itself a crime,
whether the law calls it auch or not.
That thore are many loopholes in the
laws of the land whereby guilty men
can escape punishment ia also a matter
of common knowledge. These ought
to be closed up.
LITERARY PATRIOTISM.
The Ad. Men's Club of Atlanta gave
Frank L. Stanton, tho Georgia poet, a
banquet the other evening. One of the
features of the occasion was a move
ment to have a “Stanton Day" in the
schools of the State; and it was sug
gested that the last Friday in October
be selected as the day.
This is a step which appeals to every
well-informed Georgian.
Of course, we are not, as a people,
utterly lacking in patriotism, but wedu
lack literary patriotism. Our children
are made familiar with Whittier, Low
ell and Longfellow through the books
we put into their hands, but are not
made acquainted so fully with our own
Southern poets. New England writers
exploit New England authors and New
England literature, which of course
they have a perfect right to do, and for
good reason; but Southern writers are
ignored, or at best given scant atten
tion in our school books. And yet South
ern writers have been pioneers in some of
the beBt literary work of the day. Edgar
Allan Poe was the originator of the de
tective story and the author of possibly
the finest poem ever written by an
American, “The Raven." O. Henry,
the recognised master in his lifetime as
the leading ahort-Btory writer of hia
day, was a native of North Carolina.
In every department of literature the
South has had a worthy representative.
And no literary geolus among us
ia more entitled to the honor of a
day in our schools than Frank L.
Stanton. Ho is a Georgia poet dis
tinctively. He is true to the soil.
Hie verses are not modeled after the
poetry of Old England nor New Eng
land. Writing as much as he writes,
of course he does not write real poetry
every day he makes his contributions
to the Atlanta Constitution. But now
and then he sends out a poetic, gem,
and all he writes is bo full of the sun
niest optimism that one always feels
better for reading hia simple rhymes.
We need more literary patriotism.
WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm Bystem
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly renlb-e that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion Is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
Scott St Bownc, Bloomfield, N. J.
At the meeting of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee on Satur
day last it wbb decided to hold b State
Convention at Macon on May 3, to select
delegates to the National Democratic
Convention, which meets in St. Louia
on June Id. Georgia will be entitled to
twenty-eight delegates, two from each
Congressional district and four from
the State-at-large. Delegates to the
State Convention will be appointed by
the County Executive Committees of
the several counties—two delegates for
each Representative to which the coun
ties are entitled in the General As
sembly. The Relegates from Coweta
to the State Convention will be appoint
ed when the County Executive Com
mittee meets on March 23 to consoli
date the returns of the primary elec
tion.
Meriwether Vindicator: “There is
no place on earth better than a country
newspaper office to loarn the different
kinds of people there are. Some get
huffy if a statement is sent them;
others will not pay until they receive a
statement. Some will pay without a
statement, and others will not pay
whether a statement is sent or not.
Some thought they uwed more and
Borne thought they didn’t owe so much.
Some say they couldn’t get along with
out the paper, and others say it does
not amount to much. But the meanest
and scrubbiest in the list is the man who
takes it until he is shut off for non
payment, and then spendB half his time
explaining how 'he used to take the
thing, but Btopped it because it was no
’count.”’
Dawson News: "According to re
ports that have every indication of
authenticity Hon. Hugh Dorsey will be
a candidate for Governor, and his an
nouncement may bo expected in the
next few days. Mr. Dorsey’s record
as Solicitor-General of the Atlanta cir
cuit proves him to be a man of ability
and resourcefulness. People in all sec
tions of the State have urged him to
become a candidate, and his entry will
complicate the situation. That be will
be a strong factor in the contest there
is no reason to doubt."
