16) says: HE 1.-THE governor) shall
cause the laws to be faithfully exc
cuted," and the matter of doing Sc
is partially provided for in the sec,
ton which declares that He shall
have the power to call forth the mi
litia to execute the laws of the state y
In certain contingencies this might
become necessary, but if a better way
can be found when there is no emer-
gency threatening the public peace
and security it cannot be reasonably
contended that the governor would
not be warranted in applying the
milder method within the limits of
his authority.
1t may be contended. however, that
he has no power to withhold the COM
missions of county or district officers
duly elected and certified because of
their alleged neglect or violation of
their oath of office, and in this the
governor may not be sustained. Per
haps the governor does not expect
that it will be beyond the temporary
inconvenience to which the offending
officials are subjected. but he believes
that his action will bring these Off
Gals to a realizing sense of their
sworn duty and that the effect in the
end will be to insure the respect for
law which he is in duty bound to
impress.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

While many papers over the state
are harping about the arbitrary &C
ton of Governor Campbell in holdins
up the commissions of certain county
laws will be enforced by them, the
San Antonio Express, published il
one of the seats of trouble" takes g
most sensible view of the whole mat
ter, and finds no excuse for censurine
the governor. The Herald commends
the following from that always inter
esting paper:
constitutional government implies
first of all, that the statutes made
and provided shall be observed and
enforced; that law shall be supreme.
and that violations of the law shall
be punished.
1t is not the province of those who
are charged with enforcement of the
laws to-niake distinctions according
to their own view between the laws
which they approve and those which
they may disapprove. The legisla-
ture makes the laws and to the courts
and executive officers is left simply
the duty of enforcement.
Respect for the law is the basis of
government, and this means not
merely such laws as may have the
hearty appreciation of the individual
citizen OF the individual public Off
cial, but all the laws Written in the
statute books. 1t would not be safe
to enact laws for the government of
the people of the whole state and
then to permit each citizen or each
community to select from the number
such laws as they are pleased to up
hold and to violate such as are re-
pugnant to their several tastes. If
: law be bad, yet still within the limits
of the constitutional requirements, the
surest and quickest method of secur-
ing its repeal is by rigid enforcement
of its provisions.
Governor Campbell has taken dras-
tic action to assure enforcement of
laws on the statute books which are
in conflict with local public sentiment
in certain communities and which
have been openly and flagrantly vio-
lated and held in contempt. Specifi-
cally the Baskin-McGregor liquor, the
anti-gambling and the full rendition
laws have been disapproved in differ
ent sections of the state and the ex-
ecutive has given notice that he will
exert the full force of the executive
office, as in duty bound, to impress
upon local officials their sworn duty
in the premises and TO make the laws
uniformly effective by strict and uni
form enforcement.

The boy that observed that his ''ol(
man probably needed a pill for 8
Christmas present, while not to be
commended for his respect to his
pater, evidently delivered truth thai
applies to many men at this particula,
time, if their demeanor and counte
nances are to be the gauges by which
they are Judged Some men make q
habit of going sour just before Christ
mas; the big, jolly, jostling crowds
annoy them, and they get none of the
pleasure out of the anticipation. If
on Christmas morning, his family
give him presents he accepts them
with the knowledge that he will, in
all probability, have the bills to pay
on the first, and goes into the dumps
that even a big Christmas dinner fails
to dispel. In all probability the boy
is right; some people need a pill
for a Christmas present.
