not efficient, The greatest thing in our
country is law, as 1t is the greatest
in the universe.
Wherever people live they a been
governed by law. In our country the
law is made for the benefit of the
people, to protect the poor, to enable the
workingman to collect his wages and
the enjoyment of his rights under the
constitution. Disrespect for the law by
public ~ervants and corporations draws
respect for the law down. In many
cases the law is more severe on the
innocent than on the guilty. Those
who Suffer most because OF crime are
the families of prisoners"
Governor johnson condemned the
professional rich gambler, who by his
riches and influence can have the law
set aside and induce men in office to
break the law. He said he had no pa
tience with the class of men who made
their fortunes in politics.
At the conclusion of Governor John
sons address, Governor Fort said that
he would again apply TO the Legisla~
ture for q law empowering the execu-
tive to remove officials who did not do
their duty in unfolding the law, even
though he be called a dictator in the
newspapers.
