Unchecked Lawle ssness.

1t IL Il well known and recognized
principle that violations of the law
which are permitted to 80 unrebuked
and unpunished encourages II disre-
gard for the authority of the law that
ends in anarchy and lawlessness, Ev-
cry law upon the statute books should
be rigidly enforced regardless Of the
views and opinions Of those who
are chosen to execute them. The
executives, the sherifis and
deputy sheritls, constables, mar
stals and policemen, are not Sc
lected sworn and paid to sit in judg-
ment on the law, but to see that its
enactments and provisions are en-
forced without fear, favor or partiality.
Such indeed, is the nature of the oath
that every CONSERVATION of the peace
takes when he IL Indicted into Office.
IL is not administered as u matter of
form, but as u solemn obligation which
the public have ii right to
expect and demand will be re-
lgiously and sacrcdly observed
by those who are selected to see that
the laws of the land are enforced The
GAZETTE has good reason to believe
that the executive officers of both the
city and county have not given the
nature of this obligation that con-
sideration which its solemnity and
sacredness Involves. ii Is II we'll
known fact 10 every citizen, and the
officers of the law cannot be ignorant
of 1t, that the law is in many instances
openly aud ilagrantly violated,
and no notice whatever is
taken of its violation by
those whose duty il is to see the laws
observed,and its violators arrested and
punished. In more than one instance,
of recent date, men have violated the
laws, openly and deiiantly, in the
very presence of the officers of the law,
and no notice taken of the net. The

on the other. Tarrant county and
the city of Fort Worth, have until
late enjoyed an enviable reputation
for the vigilance of their officials, and
for the promptness with which those
who have violated the laws have been
arrested and punished. lis in dam
ger, and justly, too, of losing its good
repute, Ii II check Is not put to acts
of lawlessness, which are open and
ilagrant, and to which the officials
have seemingly closed their eyes. In,

might have been worse, and might
have resulted IN death, caused by the

alike?

one Of the ablest and best papers in
the state, anyway.
The Hillsboro Mirror says:
The Fort Worth daily GAZETTE If
il continues to improve in the next
six months ~ IL has in the past, IL will
soon be equal to any Of the st. Louis
dailies.
The following Is taken from the
Age Of Progress published at Brown
wood.
The Fort Worth Daily GAZETTE
reaches this postofiice one day ahead
Of any other paper. 1t is chuck full
Of news every pop and deserves
much patronage at the hands of west
Texans.
The Stephenville Empire gives the
members of the legislature some
sound advice in the following:
While the members Of the Eigh-
tenth Legislature are subscribing for
papers containing the legislative pro-
ceedings to send home to their con-
stituents, we hope that the members
from the northwest will not forget
that the Fort Worth GAZETTE con-
tains the best and fullest report, and Is
best suited to reach the people
in this portion of the state than any
other Another reason Is, that the
paper mentioned IL one of the best
dailies in Texas, and has more good
words to say Of this portion than any
other daily In the state.
That excellent journal, the Calves
ton Print says:
The GAZETTE of Fort Worth is MAX
ing rapid strides in the direction of n
great journalistic enterprise. Already
1t presents decidedly metropolitan
appearance, and in some respects has
outstripped ali of it's rivals in the
state In the matter OF improvement.
Its Sunday issue consists of eight
pages, and besides being filled with
interesting news and miscellany, Is
handsomely printed on good paper.
The GAZETTE is moving up.
The Caldwell Register shows its APP
probation in the subjoined paragraph:
The RCDtstcr counts among its ex-
changes nine daily papers, of which, if
we were compelled to stop all but one,
we would say send us the Fort Worth
N'4NN'i<i ~ 10 JutStipI NnN
best daily in northern Texas.
Our neighbor the Grapevine Nct0s
says:
The Fort Worth Daily GAzErTE is
one of the best papers published in
north Texas.
The Hamilton Times pays us the fol-
lowing handsome compliment:
The Fort Worth GAZETTE has been
wonderfully improved in the last few
days, and is II very readable and spark
ling paper. Some one who thoroughly
understands his bushes Is editing it,
and is an excellent writer.
The above are only few of the press
notices given the GAZETTE in approval
of its energy, and they are all duly APP
preciated. The GAZETTE has re-
ceived great encouragement in
its march of progress, from
all sources but further improvements
are being made which, when com
lletod, will no longer leave any room
for denial of its excellence rs n news
paper or advertising medium, without
a rival in the state.

THE Guard speaks hopefully of the
future prospects of Vernon, the county
seat of Willbarger county. Stranger
things have come to pass than the full

Itsays: Vernon Is the "livest" town
extant and Will, in the near future, be
the queen city of northwest Texas.
Situated .as il is in.the richest and most
beautiful valley in the state, all that is
now necessary to make IL the trade
center of a radius of fifty miles, Is rail-
road and shipping facilities, and there
Is no question now but that she will,
