THE LAW.

The law is the final expression of
the people, regulating human con-
duct. 1t is in effect an agreement
OF the members of society, all promis
ing to be bound by it. It is a solemn
compact made by every man with
every other man, to live up to it.
The officers are elected only to see
that this agreement is kept. Every
man therefore, who deliberately breaks
the law is falsifyer and an unfair
dealer. He wants other men to live
up to what he will not live up to him.
self. He opposes the will of the reo-
pie and regards his desire as more i'm
portant than the will of all society.
The law is besides the restraint of
the powerful, the protection of the
weak against the strong. It is the
binding together of the many weak
against the few strong. Every time
the law is broken it strengthens the
aggressions of the powerful and weak
ems the government of the masses.
No one should encourage law break
Ing no good citizen or man would do
SO when ne thinks of the things just
stated. This is especially true when
he remembers that enc violation of
law leads to another, by weakening
the peoples power and by necessity.
For Instance blind tiger to perjury
gambling to murder and to theft.
Men of Mississippi not only obey the
law yourselves. but aid in it's enforce

SCATTERING THE NEGROES.

Memphis News: It is alleged that
an association of negrobillies has been
formed in New England for the pur.
pos OF transporting the oppressed col
ored people" of the south to Boston.
and for distributing them from
there to various parts of the North
and Northwest, where they can find
homes and equality with the whites
No doubt there are some misguided
sentimentalists who think such a
oheme feasible, but they are too few
in numbers and too short in practical
brains ever to accomplish much. In
the first place, the great body of me-
groes do not want to. In the next
place the body of the northern people
would be more averse to receiving
them than the Southern people would
be to giving them up.

Our Home Bakers.

10 the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Il sir,-1 see from your paper Of to-day
that a "Phllad elphia syndicate proposes
to build a great bread plant hero with
the avowod purpose OF acquiring every
bakery in Richmond. or start an oppo-
sition business OF such mammoth pro.
portions that the smaller fellows Will
eventually be driven ont,"@1f this 10
true it Is simply an. outrage that shou!d
not be tolerated. We all know that
there are largo number Of honest,
i,ard- working people here who make
a moderate living by the bakery
business. and no man, either resident or
nonresident, has any right to use the
power Of wealth to ruin their business.
There is no more honest or most useful
class OF citizens than our bakers. and
they should be protected. The people
should rise In their majesty and dignity
and put down suoh an undertaking. I
will DO one to sign q paper not to buy
an ounce OF anything from such people.
and I hopo every man. woman and child
in Richmond will do the same thing, |
trust you can see your way clear to con-
denim such an enterprise and to use your
influence against It.
Very truly. yours.
