Judge It. B. Carroll finished
the Noxubee County Circuit
Court last week in four days and
there was an immense amount of
business disposed of; the docket
was cleared of everything that
could be disposed at this term.
We notice from the Beacon's re-
port that no officer Or person
amenable to the Court, who
were in performance of duty,
escaped just and proper penal
ties good, stout fines. There rs no
tonic equal to that adnnini~t,z-ss. III
by Judge Carroll to restore good
health IN the court body, though
quite bitter to the subject, but
all good tonics are bitter very
bitter.
His practice along this line is
uniform throughout the district
and has proven most satisfact
ory. When officers and persons
understood, who are chosen to
perform duty. that they are YES
ted with certain duties and fail
to perform them. that they must
attone to the offended law or
other common people, then we
will see change for the better.
Therefore, we are to presume
that Judge Carroll will keep in
the same old brand and admins
ter it, if it becomes necessary
throughout his district. and un-
fortunately it too, often becomes
so.
The grand jury reported on
Friday and the Beacon gives the
following:
Judge Carroll compllmented
the grand jury on their industry
and efficient service. He took
occasion, too, to refer to the Of
fee of County Attorney and its
value in aiding the grand jury
by removing from it's considera-
ton frivolous cases. A true bill

formerly as the grand jury

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now that the new delinquent par
ents' law has gone into effect it should
be enforced vigorously throughout the
entire state. 1t makes it felony for
man to desert his family and fail
to provide for their support. And a
woman who deserts her children is
also amenable to the same punish
ment, term in Jail or the peniten-
tiary. A few righteous applications
of this law would probably have a
most salutary effect in impressing a
certain class of parents with their re-
probabilities
Surely too many of them have been
looking on their marital and parental
duties altogether too lightly in Kan
sas during the past few years. Fam
lily desertion has become extremely
common. and it is one of the sore evils
of society 1t has been encouraged no
doubt by the inefficient laws on the
subject which have been in effect.
They have provided nothing very Sc
we're in the way of punishment. But
all that has been changed by the new
law which was pushed through the
last legislature by Senator Travis. 1t
is now possible to mete out punish
ment to delinquent parents that fits
their crime.
On the statute books IS also a law
that is a sort of companion measure
to the one just referred to. 1t is a
part of the Juvenile court law and
holds parents responsible for the way
wardness of their minor children. 1t
has been in force for a few years
now, but has not been applied as fire.
quently as it might have been. A more
general disposition on the part of the
public authorities over the state to en-
force this law would be a great good
thing. Many young boys and young
girls would not get into the trouble
they do if they were given proper care
and attention by their parents. For
this very reason it is no more than
right that parents should be made to
pay the penalty for the misdemeanors
committed by their children, when the
occasions warrant.
These two laws are decidedly worth
while if they are enforced. They mean
nothing, though, if they are going to
be permitted to rest in serene seclusion
in the statute books where too many
laws are permitted to repose.
