GOVERNMENT BY TECHNICALITY.

In a certain community in TeXas-fOr
the purpose of this article it makes no
difference which cOmmunity-there was
held a local option election. The election
went-one way or the other wet" or
"dry"-for the purpose of this article it
makes no difference which way it went.
The really important fact-Onc really
important facts that under the laws
of Texas either party to that election,
''wets" or "drys,' had the right to have
another election on the same issue at the
end Of two years-On compliance with
certain regulations i'll such cases made
and provided.
The two years passed and the winners
-"wets' or "drys'-enjOyed their vic
tory without question and without mOlcS-
tatiOn. Then the other side sought to
avail themselves of their right to have
another election. Having taken the pre-
liminary steps, they were met by a re
fusal to order the election on the part
of the people whose business it was to
order it.
They were informed by the officials
that while it was true the election was
had two years before, and had gone
one way or the other-the result was
never officially announced until just a
few mOnts ago-last September in fact.
1t is held by the officials that the dry"
period-if it went dry" or the wet"
perioil-if it went wet" did not begin
to operate till the time Of the official an
nOuncement.
Heaven only knows how far the courts
will sustain this contention.
Yet any man with common sense must
see that out of this situation grows a
great wrong to one party to that cOntrO-
yersy. SO far as The Herald knows the
officers in question may have been of the
wrOnged party; were presumably limo
eent of any wilful defeat Of the laws in
tent. Yet the fact is that somehow the
Intent of feb law was defeated. and the
defeat affords further ground for the
growing distrust of the law, and the
growing Impotence with technicalitieS
in the ADMINISTRATION of the law so
characteristic Of our time. Admitting
the perfect fairness of all concerned in
this case, il is easy to see what a wide
open door of oppression and wrong is
opened if this technically is sustained
by the court. Ii is easy to see that the
minds Of the people wronged will neces-
sarily be clouded with diStrust and sus-
picion to a degree that can not be whole
some for them nor for the community
agitated over that particular matter.
None of us can afford to encourage law
violation. even if our own pet political
program is furthered thereby. What we
really need in such cases Is for some
broad. clear. emphatic rule Of practice
by which the manifest intent Of our laws
can not be defeated by absurd technical
tiles like the one under discussion. We
pray for Il generation of statesmen who
can save us from the loss. humiliation
and heart burning of the legal bubble.
