A primary law is one of the greatest

emphatically for law which will secure
fair dealing and honesty at primary cleo

the all powerful influences which may be

HOLDING LIFE LIGHTLY.

The Monroe Star reports the acqulttal
Of two white men, tried recently in the
criminal court of Ouachita parish, who
had been indicted for murder Accord
ing to the Star, the crime of each was
deliberate, but both were acquitted by
the jurors who were swayed by maud
lin sentin1entalities and proneneSs to
condone crime Commenting on these
two cases, the Star says:
"But juries are largely the reflex of
public opinion ana sentiment, and as we
have suggested the first essential thing
is to inculca1e and impress upon the
whole people the sacredness of life and
the necessity for the enforcement of law
Until this is done it is useless to expect
more of jures. They will not rise above
the level Of their environment and con-
dltion. The public conscience must
needs be quickened, the heart of the
whole leavened and purified before we
can have that respect for the majesty of
the law and that high regard for human
life that is essential to the peace and
happiness of every community There is
urgent, crying need for it here and the
involvement OF the law that is as old as
the world, an eye for an eye and tooth
for TOOTH
The Star is right. The cheapest thing
on earth is a human life and If is va1ue-
less in the proportion of the maudlin
sentiment exercised in behalf of the man
who is on trial for murder. Whatever
sympathy there may have been for the
deceased, snatched in moment from
his loved ones, cruelty, cowardly muir
jered, is shifted to the man at the bar
Of justice 1t is no wonder that muir
derers escape; that men inclined to muir
der are ernboldened to commit the deed |
that jurors are found in readiness to |
condone the crime. The people are re-
sponsibe for such laxity in law. With |
strong, powerful influence directed to
the enforcement of law, technicalities |
and evaslons could have little bearing in
the administration of full-llanded JUS
tice, which is now. in the great ma jority
of cases of murder a snare and a de-
fusion.
