ENFORCE THE LAW.

Notwithstanding the charge that the anti-amenders were largely law breakers we believe we speak for the great majority of them when we say that whatever may be their views as to the justice or necessity of some of the laws they are emphaticaIiy in favor of their enforcement. A coun- try can not prosper unless there is the utmost obedience to the law. It would soon degenerate into a condi- ton of mob control. As long as we have laws the officers must be upheld in their efforts to enforce them and this is the sentiment of the great host of Aiabamians who voted against the constitutional amendment. If those who precipitated this contest had given one tithe of the energy, money and passion towards enforcing exist ing laws that they have wasted in seeking to force upon an unwilling people an odious amendment of the state Constitution there would be a much clearer atmosphere and a more wholesome condition than exists to- day.
