THE TRIUMPH OF LAW.

Iyield to no man in sympathy
for the unfortunate. Ny heart
goes out in sympathy to every
one in trouble. ! would that the
strong hand Of the law could
ever be stayed from descending
upon a human cre,. =. The
hardest thing I have to CO in this
life is to pass sentence upon a I
man. I am not pleading for the
punishment Of men, but I am
pleading to save men, to protect
women and to shield innocent
children. And, as ] conceive It,
the only way to Dc this Is to stop
crime, and the only way to stop
crime is to punish the criminal.
The penal laws are Of divine orr
gin. Their enforcement is the
only way known to men by which
life can be preserved, property
made secure and homes protect
ed. When the surgeon places the
keen, sharp knife to the sensitive
flesh and cuts to the quick and
almost to the death it is done to
destroy that which is bad and to
save that which is good. So It is
in the enforcement Of the crimi-
nal law. The evil must be pun
ished that the good and the pure
may be saved. A family, q COM
munity, a state-aye, a nation
is honored, respected and es-
teemed just as it is law abiding,
peaceable and loyal to authority.
for where law and order stop an
archy begins, and in its mad trail
wreck and ruin desolate the
home, the state and the nation.
The crowning purpose. then, Of
every good citizen should be to
help enforce the law, compel obe-
dience to authority in the home.
In the community and in the
state. The highest aim, the loft
lest ambition, of every good citi-
zen should be directed to this
end, that peace may abide in our
homes and order prevail on our
highways.-Judge Robert T. Dan
