OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW.

There is no issue in the political
campaign to compare in gravity with
the law enforcement and the rigid
and uncompTomising march of JUS
tice. says a contemporary; and sappli-
cation to all forms of violations of the
law, including some which are wink
ed at now and then by those whose
duty it is to see that the laws are en-
forced.
Respect for the law is the founda-
ton of government and of society,
and 1t should be impressed upon the
highest and lowest, upon the great
captains of industry equally as upon
the poorest mental; upon the youth
among his earliest lessons of civic OBJ
legation, and upon the foreigner who
comes to make his home in this coun-
sasaa,.s st....4ie-.s-e.saa- t.
yield willing obedience to its laws and
ordinances.
Obedience to the law is one of the
first duties of citizenship, and en-
forcement of the law is the most SOL
emn duty of those in authority. On
the statute books of nearly all the
states there are laws which are null,
if not void, because unenforced. Some
of them have been on the statute
books for so many years without Ilav-
ing been in operation that they are
lost and forgotten. Some other laws
are made to suit one section of the
state that are obnoxious to other Sec
tons of the state, and are therefore
ineffective in one place. All such laws
ought to be repealed, and the sooner
the better
1t is not for the citizen whose
obedience to the law as he finds it is
an imperative duty to say whether the
law should or should not be enforced.
He may insist that it should be re-
pealed if he believes it to be inimical
to the best interests of the people and
ne may work diligently to secure re-
peal, but he should yield obedience to
all the laws as long as they are the
laws, for that is one of the first duties
of citizenship.-San Antonio Express.

ANOTHER OIL STORY.

Governor Haskell declares that
President Roosevelt is alone respon-
sible for the Prairie Oil company and
Gas company franchise and that the
records at Washington show that
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of
the interior, refused it and was later
overruled by his chief. The franchise
was granted in the blanket lease
which afterwards became a scandal
before Oklahoma became a state.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock has refused to
discuss the matter. To keep the rec
ord straight, Mr. Hitchcock should
make statement and there is an
other statement due from President
Roosevelt. The federal government
did grant these territory franchises,
according to the records, and Stand
ard Oil thus secured control of the
oil fields in the Indian Territory. The
same stick seems to have tarred all
these leaders who have been promi-
nent In this controversy. President
Roosevelt was misled by republican
politicians. who doubtless lied to him,
but Haskell has put it up to the ad-
ministration. He declines to assume
all responsibilities be the scapegoat
for politicians of all parties who were
plotting to get control of the rich pick
ings in the Indian Territory before
statehood came-Dallas Times Her

The excellent shell road connecting
Beaumont and Port Arthur is almost
completed and within a few weeks at
the farthest will afford an excellent
travel-way for vehicles of every de-
scription. The completion of this
thoroughfare, by far the prettiest in
all Texas, will shorten the twenty
miles between the two cities almost
half. To an automobilist the cities
will be not more than one hour apart.
To the farmer it will mean shorter
miles, lighter roads and easier travel.
The Port Arthur road is one of the
thoroughfares which have

A crouch is about the most pitiful
thing that passes for a man in this
world-one of these never see any
good in anything fellows, who wouldn't
smile real cheerful-like if he thought
he could save half of the world
from destruction. Just why men pre-.
fer to go through life with an always
at work crouch on is more than we
can tell. Life is full of sunshine and
brightness for the man who is open
and honest and willing to give as lib
orally as he takes from others. We
had about as soon be corpse as a

Now that winter is coming on
again, when it will be necessary to
keep fires going, we may expect re-
newal of the subject of fire traps and
the dangers surrounding public build

this good old town that would be con-
demned for public use in five minutes
by an inspector who would attend to
his job.

And President Roosevelt is the man
who established the rule that govern
