LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The Evening Citizen made some
comments last evening on the special
grand jury now in session in connec-
ton with the circuit court. which
need a little elucidation. The con.
temporary heads its comments "A
Hand-Picked Grand Jury and then
proceeds to tell how the sheriff Sc
lected lot OF good citizens to com.
pose the jury, representatives of all
the churches, including the leaders
Of the two big bible cla:ses. repre-
sentatiyes OF important business in
terests-ail men upon whom he felt
he could depend on to be for law and
order And The Citizen itself ex-
presses the belief that this grand
jury will do its duty in upholding the
law.
So much for the Head and
very good.
But In conclusion there is the
same talk about ''the better element
of Cairoites' supporting the officials
in their efforts TO do their duty, with
an intimation that the better ele-
ment' OF Cairoites had been remiss
in this respect. and the words OF
Judge Butler to the grand jury are ap-
provingly quoted, that Indifference
OF the people ties the hands of the
officials. Always this attempt tt
place upon the pc ople the blame fol
non-enforcemnt of law in this com
munity, when as a matter Of fact, the
Officials are to blame and have beer
the culprits. Cairo's trouble hal
been, not that the officials have mo-
had the support of the better element
but that the better element has moi
had the support and respect of tht
