The same Law for All.

We reproduce the following from
the pen of DR.. w. T. Boiling. 1t
is full of meat. is timed to the pre-
vailing conditions and abomds with
sober suggestions. We commend
its careful reading to all:
There is no permanent liberty
outside of law, but first anarchy
and then the worst character of op-
preston. Every man who violates
the law is an enemy to Just and
good government and should be so
regarded by all who are interested
in maintaining law and order.
The Sunday saloon violator, the
pistol toter and the general thug
may not be the same in degree,
but all belong to the lawless class,
which is doing their best to break
down the law, cheaper human life
and overthrow government, and
should be put in the same general
list along with lawless officials as
governments worst enemies.
The need is not more law, for we
now have too many laws cum bering
our statute books. but the strict
and impartial enforcement of the
laws we have. Lawlessness begins
with negligent, criminally negligent,
officials, who wink at the violation
of some and weaken all of our laws.
Many of of our officials seem to
think that they are members of the
| legislative as well as of the execu-
! tive branch of government, and by
their neglect to perform their duty
in enforcing laws they do not fully
endorse, beget within the lawless
class spirit of contempt for all law,
which spirit is responsible for the
grosser violations of the law, by
night riding, killing and the like,
and the law w-abiding citizen is put at
a disadvantage and becomes an easy
victim of the lawless element.
Captain Rankin and Senator Car
mack were the victims of the care
less people who were and are care
less as to enforcement of law, and
who, when some great crime is
committed, suddenly wake up to
enormity of crime and hold indig-
nation meetings and whereas and
resolve to no permanent purpose.
Prevention is the demand, and not
simply punishment of great crimi-
nails, and then a lapse into careless
estate, while the undercurrent
steadily washes away the foundations
of social order.
The law must be administered in
relation to all classes, and not allow
one process pursued toward the
rich and another toward the poor
man, and the carrying Of pistol
should be punished just as surely
as the using of it to the taking OF
human life. The pistol toter can
not be relied upon to respect the
life of another when he is already a
violator of law, and ready to go
further in criminal act in violation
of the laws of God and man alike,
and nine times out of ten the man
who totes pistol will give his
enemy no chance, but will shoot

To Improve Country Life

Mr.. L. H. Bailey, chairman OF the
Commission on Countrywide, has sent
ont the following letter to all county
superintendents in the United States:
President Roosevelt has suggested
that the Commission on Country Life
Task the farmers to come together in
the several school districts of the
country so that they may meet and
consider the questions concerning
which the Commission is seeking in
formation. The President desires
that these discussions be held not la
ter than Saturday. December 5.
| am writing you to request that
you suggest 10 the school officers, or
other leading citizens, in the several
school districts, to meet in their
school houses or other customary
meeting places, and discuss the gen
eral economic, social, sanitary or ed
ucational conditions of country life
in their respective neighbOrhoods.
The President suggests the following
topics: The efficiency of the rural
school; farmers organizations; the
question of farm labor; the need OF
good roads; improved postal facili-
ties; sanitary conditions on the farm.
! The Commission has issued a series
of questions on which information is
desired. Copies of these questions
/ (Which are in the nature of sugges-
tions. } may be secured by addressing
/ the commission at Washington.
| The Commission desires to have the
| Judgments of competent men and wo-
men on any of these great public
questions, and to receive suggestions,
as to whether government can aid in
| improving any of the conditions OF
country life. The Commission de-
sires that a brief statement of the
| general conclusions arrived at in
/ these discussions be sent TO the office
/ in Washington.
/ The whole success of the work oil
/ the Commission depends on the at
/ titude and cooperation of the farm
/ ing people of the United States. The
/ Commission represents them, and il
needs their suggestions.

quick and work up a vivid imagina-
ton by which to claim self-defense,
even though his victim was un-
armed. Really the habitual pistol
toter is a coward, and generally
seeks the coward's refuge in order
to escape punishment. and he de-
serves no consideration at the
hands of those who are selected to
enforce the laws.
Another class encouraging law
lessness is to be found in lawyers,
who strive to cause n miscarriage of
Justice, and to clear their clients at
any cost to law and human life.
Indeed no class is in more direct
conflict with law and ORDER than
this class OF so-called lawyers, many
of whom are worse criminals than
are the men whom they defend, not
by law, but by smart use of mere
technical points, which no real
lawyer would consider, in order TO
thwart justice and injure society.
| have a most profound respect
and admiration for a great lawyer,
but of all small things the little
technical lawyer deserves the blue
ribbon and the majority of them
should themselves be behind the
bars.
The individual citizen who desires
good government must himself
keep the law in order to preserve the
creation of the orderly masses made
up of individual units forming the
social aggregate. | have no right
to demand of any of my fellow
citizens to do that which | will not
do in order to secure his right and
safety as well as my own. and
hence every violation of any law
upon my part makes me responsible
that far for the lawlessness of
others.
With a majority of citizens who
keep the laws and with an official
force to enforce them without fear
or favor, good government is as
sured, while without these two
quantities working in harmony
good government, under which is
preserved the life, and property OF
the citizen of high or low degree,
is impossible.
1t is alarming when such condi-
ton can prevail such as has pre-
vailed in parts of the country and
the time has come when these con-
ditions must be changed or govern
ment by the people must be surren-
dered and the strong hand Of the
military must be substituted.
1t is not too late for the officials
| and law w-abiding citizens to unite
and preserve our social integrity by
the fair but full enforcement of law
even though to do so involves the
destruction of the lawless element.
Enforce the law upon trusts with
their millions and upon night ri
ders, murderers and all lesser Grim
inals, and the social order will be
maintained to the preservation OF
all of the values of our civilization

The militia stationed near Reelfoot
lake and a squad of night riders en-
gagged in a pitcded battle, Friday
night. More than one hundred shots
were exchanged, but luckily no blood
was shed. The incident serves to
demonstrate that the efforts of Ten
nessee to pacify or intimidate law
lessness in that section of the State
has thus far proved abortive. The
outlaws either believe that the Exec
utive is bluffing, or they are game to
the core. 1t looks now as if a most
uncompromising course must be
adopted before order is restored.

The producer produces to live
meagerly himself and to fatten the
hordes that produce nothing. The
producer is also called the consumer.
This is contradictionary term. He
consumes little The small margins
on his products forbid it. A farmer
that produces ten bales of cotton and
500 bushels of corn does not consume
20 per cent of it. Who consumes the
balance and what does the farmer
get for it2 Why the non-producers,
of course, and the balance goes to
pay for the privilege of being a pro-
ducer and doing the magnanimous
thing of feeding the world, support
ing palaces for milhonaires to feast
in and many other luxuries that are
not and never can be the farmers. The
glory of a farmer is great and many
there be that find it.

President Harvie JOrdon of the
Southern Cotton Association has come
in for ''skinning" He has given
his tort to organize for the prOtec-
ton of those who grow cotton, and,
of course, he has sinned beyond re-
demption but against whom? Why
those who want cotton TO be produc-
ed by unorganized labor. and then
thrown upon a market ordered by
those who do not produce, but buy
and sell it for speculative purposes
only. Mr. Jordon will hardly stop
his good work for these unmerit-
ed assaults, but will continue TO bat
tie until the producer, and not the
buyer of cotton will be master of the
situation.

when adjournment was voted at noon
until 2 O'Clock the spectators left to
return two hours later AS usual, all
was secrecy. and following out the rule
that has obtained the scheduled meet

was held during the noon recess. the
details of the sale Icing considered

past.

edge of the meeting he had attended
than his colleague.
yes, we held q meeting" said SUI
pervisor Eldridge. "That's all l can
say"
But the subcommittee was as reluc-
tant to discuss the affair as were the
members of the board. 1t Is believed
the question has now narrowed down
to a consideration of the legal status
of the sale. the sentiment of ma
1ority of the members of the advisory
board being, 1t is believed, in favor of
vacating the action of the supervisors
and advertising the bonds.
Following the secret meeting at
noon, no information would be vouch-
safed by the supervisors, and 1t was
not until after o'clock. when the
board adjourned. that anxious and in
terested citizens left the courthouse
not at all pleased with the manner In
which their interests are being con-
served.

Conglomeration OF Mysterious Physi-

in Determination to Keep
Colonel Down
Especial to The Herald. ]

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 14.-No longer
according to the war department, Is
Col William f. Stewart of the coast
artillery service suffering from "tem-
peramental incompatibility." He seems
to have something the matter with
him, and will not be permitted to take
the ninety mile test, although he in
sists that it will require no extraordi-
nary effort on his part
Arriving at Fort Huachuca Friday,
Col. Stewards physical condition was
examined into by board of medical
survey, who found him suffering from
cardiac hypertrophy, dilation and mi
trail insufficiency," and forbade him to
take the test for the stated reason
could not undergo the severe strain
without great danger to his health or
total collapse.
He was ordered to return to Fort
Grant, and will leave for that point
Wednesday morning if a reversal of
the order is not obtained before then,
which seems improbable.
Col. Stewart objects to the finding
of the board, and while he will obey
orders without hesitation it is almost
certain that lively scrap is in sight,
as he and his friends will insist upon
having the findings set aside. Col.
Stewart declares that he is in good
health and willing and anxious to I'M
dergo the tests prescribed, either rid
ing or walking.
The original charge against the col
onel which caused him TO be practi-
cally marooned in the isolated and
abandoned post of Fort Grant, Ariz.,
was "temperamental incompatibility."
THE friends of the colonel have con-
finually insisted that he has not been
fairly dealt with.
