the various Confederate veterans
in this city, Judge Emory Speer,

Of the fight:
"The moment was critical. The
Confederate army was cut in two.
And, determined to restore it, with
the fighting blood in his hero
strain lighting his noble face with
the glow Of battle, Lee, mounted
on his old gray Tlaveler, brave as
his master, dashed to the head Of
the charging columns and took off
his hat to lead his men into death

Enforcement of Law.

In charging the federal grand jury at
Fort Smith on Tuesday at the opening
of the United States Court Judge Rog-
ers placed the responsibility for the non
enforcement of the law with the people,
where it belongs and his reasoning must
appeal to every right-thinking man He
said in part.
Gentlemen the courts are adequate
to deal with All these things in regular
and lawful manner If they are not it is
our fault. If we select bad, or weak or
incompetent men for judges, district at
torneys and magistrates and they neg
lect or refuse, or are incapable of dis
charging their duties, we can blame our
selves If iuries refuse to do their duty,
we have no right TO resort to mob law
Let Us recognize our own shortcomings
and correct the evil by selecting better
officials if that be the origin Of the trou.
bic, If the pardOnlng power is abused
so that in effect, criminals gOunwhipped
of justice and property is left unproteCt-
ed, let IA recognize the evil and apply
the remedy by selecting better execu.
tives. No remedy is TO be found in mob
law and anarchy That remedy is I'm.
lawful and worse than crime, That
remedy is had where the law is head
Where the law is not enforced there is
