They will go through the form OF
investigation of the Frank lynching
up in Georgia and the circuit Judge
will deliver a very solemn and i'm
pressive charge to the grand jury,
but 1t is useless to hope that any of
the lynchers will be brought to jus
tlce. The forms of law amount to
nothing in any country where pub
lie sentiment, fearless, enlightened
and aggressive, is not behind the
law. The trouble about the good
people in any community is that
they are too often passive from sheer
timidity, and they take it out In
"deploring' crime. After which
they go about their business. Such
people work along the lines Of least
resistance because that way inter-
feres less with their peace and com
fort. Hence the kind of public SEN
timent they stand for has neither
force nor coordination and amounts
to nothing against the fierce agrees
siveness of the mob and its friends
in which british passion, reckless of
consequences, is the dominant ele-
ment. The chief value of a good
man to a community is not in his
mere goodness, but in it's militant
aggressive quality, game enough to
face the hoodlums and fight them to
finish.

NEW BAD CHECK LAW IS
ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS

The new bad-check law of Flor
ida as enacted by the last Legislature
is not meeting with any considerable
amount of favor over the state. Crit
icisms as to its operations are made
freely, and in Tampa the county So
licitor is quoted as asserting that the
new yaw is mot worth the paper it
is written on
When information of the provis-
ions of the law was received in Mi
ami early in July two arrests had
| been made in which we'll known men
were alleged to have issued worth
less checks. When their cases
came for hearing, the new line was
effective, and under its provisions
there was nothing for the courts to
do but dismiss the cases, as the re-
CURED legal notice had not been
given the prisoners that their checks
had been dishonored.
The essential difference between
the former law relating to worthless
checks and the present law is that
under the law now in effect the per-
son receiving worthless check
must give the person who issued it
ten days notice that it cannot be
collected before proceedings may be
instituted in the criminal courts. A
form of notice is prescribed by the
law, and dit is not sufficient to write
letter notifying him that the
check is not good Not having been
appraised of this fact, the authori-
ties in this county. when confronted
by the new law, released the de-
PENDANTS in at least two cases. The
exact wording of notice prescribed
by the statute is as follows:
County of Dade,
You are hereby notified that the
check which you gave me on the
Of 1915, for the sum Of
-uoilarS tS---). and drawn on
has been dishonorcd
by the bank because of insufficient
funds. And
"You are frther mott I'd that
said check must be paid within ten
DAYS from this, the day Of -
A. D. 1916
(Signed D---
Criticisms of the new law is made
from the fact that it seems to be Ill
in favor of the bad check artist, who
has ten days in which to set sail and
make his departure for other shor
and the law cannot prevent him
from doing so if not other charges
are registered against him under
which he may be held.-Miami Me-
