UNION RECORDER, MILLELGEVILLE, GA., JULY 2«, 1928
? ?
,BY JERE N. MOORE)
; perjury a crime nr a privilege
Chav Tuttle in a recent u»ue of
c.rtury. In dunlins with this sub
ject he tells us this:
“Crimnal justice hat become
, ,vcd in a web of perjury. False
'lire has became a daily and al-
unremarked episode.” Reput-
Ije men will swear falsely to escape
. .,.rvice and then denounce the
fracduency of bad verdicts.
..U,. rt . then is an offense which
u-n . K . l that which is the very life
social compact—the udmin-
“rtr-uon of justice. It Rereads an-
V h m the very temple of law and
order Why then in pratice is it
i „ of a privilege than a crime?
administering of the oath in
indifferent manner makes a wit-
imiifferent to its substance. The
importance of the oath should be
firmly impressed upon each witness,
ity that the o-ssential nature of
the ceremony cannot be over look
ed." .
Mr. Tuttle bears out the fact in
article that the courst and at-
•.unevs look upon perjury too lightly
; ':id its continued and increasing prac
tice has shackled justice. Every,
lawyer and every presiding judge
should make it his very service to
M .f that this practice is stopped.
The old common law punished aj
perjurer with death. Bearing false
witness under the name of God is
the only separately condemned ir.
two of God’s Commandments. In
England the trial judge will committ
the v*' r jurcr on the spot, and it
should become a rule and guide in
American courts.
Four great influences stund out
to lessen this practice more than all
the law that could be enacted, the
home, the church the school, und the
community center. The child should
Ik- taught that false swearnig is one
of the greater sins of life.
The last two men who have gone
to the electric chair have stood on
the brink of eternity und mude the
charge. “Falsie swearin ghas put me
where I am, they have sworn my
life away.” The punishment of evil
should he swift—and just and there
ran be no justice when the practice
>f perjury becomes an accepted fact.
The influence for good has never
been obtained by condemning the
other man for his failures, but by
precept and example living a life that
would be worthy of patenting by
others.
Friday July 13th. has come und
gone and w’ith it has gone the last
hardluek day of 1928. We are all
ufflicted more or lesM with some
superstition. The number 13 seems
to be the chief boogn boo with those
who have the rftiperstitious complex.
While we do not boast of the fact
that we are free of all superstitions,
we have always more or lesy courted
the favor of thirteen. It has never
put a fear in our heart und on the
other hand we have leaned toward
it as a day of good luck.
Lady luck showered down
a recent Friday thirteenth, which
caused us to hold a fonder affection
for it than ever before.

Lately I have become aware of the
difference when I urn driving my car
and when I am afoot. I urn resentful
when I start across the street and
some car narrowly nii*«es me as I
make u dash for the opposite curb. I
turn and glare angrily at the driver,
for I am very jealous of my rights
as n pedestrian.
It is entirely different when I am
ut the wheel. I cannot understand
why these people dart in front of my
car and are so slow in moving ucross*
the street. I insist on the right-of-
way ainl have no patience with those
who muke me slow up or stop to miss
them.
I get out on the open fond and
soon find myself es a rival with the
fellow going in the .same direction. 1

five miles an hour but just let sonu
driver honk at me and down goes

other hand let me drive up behind a
car and I must put on an extra burst
of speed and go around him.

it is dangerous driving, but the thrill
