Alexander, the committee. and
after covering the ethics and logical
need OF such movement, observes:
1t is sadly true that there is to
be found, in many places in our
state, a spirit Of lawlessness. either
open defiance Of law or lack of
reverence for its Smajesty. The
time has come when we should
think less Of our liberties and think
more Of our laws when we should
talk less of rights and ponder more
our duties. Our legislators have
made for US wise laws in the effort
to protect and preserve our people
from all crimes that debauch man
hood and impoverish and destroy
homes. 1t remains to be seen if
the people have the courage
and determination to see that their
laws are not defed and trampled
upon with impunity.
This is the day of corporation
and combination. Every move
ment, every craft and calling,
whether political or professional,
clpemosynary or educational, scien-
tific or social, all have the organi-
cations Ia promote their peculiar
ends and aims. Over them and
protecting them all is the law in its
majesty.
1t is not the purpose OF this adj
dress To- outline any plan or organi-
zatiou either for "A central or for
local leagues. This viii be done
nj the convention TO be- held here
on the afternoon and evening OF
March y, 1909. But we urge
every city, town and community
which has a law rnforcenut league
or any kindred organization, To
send representatives. To- that con
Vention. and where none Il vet
organizad, to have citizens who are
interested i'm the movement volun-
teer to come.
We appeal to the faithful Off
GERS of the law everywhere 10 aid
in this movement. We appeal to
the fearless and high-minded press
Of the state, so potent for good or
for evil, to give Ms its mighty in
fiuence We appeal to every law
abiding man in the state to give
his support to cause which seeks
the highest good of all. Lawless-
ness must not reign anywhere in
Miss.
Such an address or charge going
to the public. backed as it is by
the efforts of the good and true and
wise and conservative men who are
leading the crusade for civic
righteousness and duty, it is be-
lieved will produce good results,
and result in representative and
rousing state convention on next
st Patrick S day
