The writer notes with satlslactioh d
tendency on the part OF the best news
papers of the State to dfprecate the IN
creasing tendency to lntract the laws,
notably in the increasing number Of
murders committed. a number have pub
lished articles recently headed, Life Is
Too Cheap in Mississippi" and similar
wording, that were ably written, and
forcibly brought out the demand for a
sentiment for a stricter enforcement OF
existing laws ne newspapers "iV WV
most powerful factors in producing a
sentiment for law and order, and in keep
ing with their companionship of every
thing Chat is for the best in our State,
will be to bring about more efficient
enforcement of our laws. May they
keon nm tbe Good fight until our great
State will taIe its place at the head Of
ell os the most law.abiding and God.
fearing in the Union.
