COUNTY LAwLEssNEss
MUST END
Governor Folk Asserts = The Law
Must be Respected as Long as it
is Law.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 20
There have been several interviews
purportlng to come from the Cover
nor concerning the st. Louis county
situation which were not made. The
only orders given have been through
President Stewart OF the Police Board
The Governor is firm in his deter
mination that the law must be re-
spected as long as it is law, and VIII
give all the aid he can to accomplish
this result.
When seen tonight regarding the
situation in ST. Louis county, Cover
ok said:
@The lawlessness in St. Louis coun-
ty must be and will be suppressed.
If after the Legislature enacts laws
and adjournS no attention be paid to
those laws, State government becomes
a nullity. II thugs and outlaws can
break the statutes OF the State with
impuuity, then the people OF the
State govern in name only. The
reign OF law means the rule OF the
people, for a majority Of the people
make the laws II after the senti-
ment of the majority is crystalized in
to legislative acts-those laws are defied
by those who have a selfish interest in
breaking them, then government by
law is but fiction
"The laws Of a state are the life OF
state, and a man who deliberately
disobeys the laws OF bis state is trai'
tor to bis state
Having taken an oath to see that
the laws are faithfully executed
thrnnshnni the State ap tIyipg, il
duty than II is TO find a way to do 1t
ut is not pleasant to create SO mani
bitter enemies as one must do in the
enforcement Of law against those who
are In the habit Of ignoring the law
But an executive official cannot dc
otherwise without being false to bis
trust Those who have fatteued and
feasted by violating law naturally oh.
lect to being interfered with, and theiI
curses are, after all, but compliments.
The fight against lawlessness is
going to be kept up until 1t is stamped
out, unless they are able tn show they
are stronger than the State of Mis-
souri,. The lawless must learn that
the State Of Missouri still lives and
her laws reign within her boundaries -
