the public conscience on tax returns. Yet the
reports indicate that the auditor would have

The Southwest Virginia judges. OF their own
motion, began battle against moonshine liquor
and bribery at elections. some OF them in the
face Of threats against their lives-such threats
as Judge Afassie ignored and as were executed
direfully at I1iliville in March OF 1912. They
took up promptly the demand of the auditor
for better tax returns. The answer to their
stern and fearless utterances from the bench
has brought proof that the great body of the
people love justice and the law and are ready
