the Democratic administration in pre-
serving the security of the highway of
the seas. II points out the pleasures

Editor OF Virginian:

Editor OF virginian:
The writer has received a number
OF communications recently concern
ing the provisions of the Custer Law.
IL has been thought by many that
the Custer Law, passed by the CEN
eral Assembly, was framed by the
Anti-Saloon League of Virginia. and
that the officers of the league drafted
the sweeping provisions of the bill,
as II now stands on the statute books
As matter Of fact, the bill as
originally suggested by the Anti-S a-
loon League of Virginia referred to
failure to enforce laws pertaining TO
three subjects namely. to the liquor
trafiic. gambling and houses of Ill
fame. However. after the bill had
been introduced In the Senate amend
ments were offered, by Senator Cam
non, Of Richmond, ] think, which
amendments made the law to be
sweeping in its application. so that
the failure of officers to enforce any
of the laws of the Commonwealth
subjected them to charges for neglect
OF duty OF course, 1t is difficult to
see how any law-abiding citizen can
object to the passage Of a law which
provides for the removal of officers
who knowingly or wilfully neglect to
enforce any of the laws OF the Com
monwealth, Every law on the statute
books stands as the exl ression of the
sovereign will of the PEOPLE OF the
state, and as every officer Ia sworn
10 enforce the laws Il is manifestly
entirely proper that officers who do
not enforce the law should be sus-
pended or removed from office.
The Custer Law does not change
any of the laws on the statute books
Of the State. nor does It change the
oath Of Office which has been taken
by all officers of the State. II simply
provides method by which any citl-
zen or organization or corporation
may file complaint against any officer
and request that the court remove
him from office for failure to enforce
the law
The fact that 1t is reported that
the Mayor and the police force Of the
city Of Richmond and that officers In
some other sections in Virginia ex-
pect TO take certain action in refer
ence 70 certain conduct beginning

DIR. CANNON ON THE CUSTER LAW

with Sunday, June IS, indicates that
the aforesaid officers have not at
tempted to enforce the laws of the
Commonwealth in the past unless 1t
pleased them SO to do. and that moth
ing but the possibility that complaint
may be filed against them in the
court is impelling them to take &C
ton now. There is no more reason
to become active on the eighteenth OF
June than there was to become active
as soon as the oath of office was
taken by the aforesaid officer.
From experience In other States
and indeed from experience in Vir-
ginia, the officers of the Anti-Saloon
League OF Virginia knew that in GER
tain sections the officers would neg
lect to enforce the laws concerning
the sale of intoxicants; and as gamb-
ling houses and houses of i'll fame
are usually places where the liquor
laws are violated. the laws pertaining
to these three subjects were included
in the Custer Bill prepared by the
Anti Saloon League. The league did
not consider that 1t had any special
mission to perform in reference to
the other laws OF the Commonwealth,
although the Custer Law as finally
passed was heartily approved by the
league officials and 1t seems that 1t
should be approved by all good citi-
Zens.
II is quite surprising that there
should have been such stir made
concerning the enforcement OF the
law which forbids the engaging in
ones ordinary employment on Sun
day. except In cases of necessity or
mercy. 1t would really seem that
there is no other law at present on
the statute books which Is being vio-
lated. but this Is far from true. There
is law on the statute books which
forbids profanity, and yet ones ears
are assailed continually by men giving
utterance 10 disgusting oaths. and the
officers of the law seem to put for
ward little effort TO enforce the law
against profane swearing. Indeed,
some of the officers of the law have
been known to violate that law them
selves.
The law has always forbidden the
keeping of houses OF iI-fame or dis
orderly conduct IN any place. But
the officers in many cities OF the State

displeasure OF the New York sensa-
ton monger for several reasons. two
OF which were all-suflcient The
President has insisted in maintaining
American rights and the rights of hu-
mainly against Germany. For reasons
OF his own, Hearst prefers TO let Ger
many work its own sweet will.
But even the larger fly in the ONT
ment has been the Presidents refusal
To wage war on Mexico to the end
that General Carranza shall be con-
quered. the Mexicans ''paclfed" and
the Hearst Investments south OF the
border blossom like the rose.
The Hearst papers have been used
to the limit in a campaign of mlsrep-
resentation to bring the President and
the Democratic party into gross dis
credit. and there was no need of any
unctuous avowal on the part OF Mister
Hearst that he would not honor Dem
ocracy with his loving favor.
Nothing could fall out better for
the party than that this troubler of
the nation should go over bag and
baggage into the Republican party.
While Benedict Arnolds are not espe-
cially popular amid their new associa-
tons. it is perhaps we'll when one
goes bankrupt in political morality to
make some ostensible show of change
of faith, as there may be some who
will accept the new professions at
face value Democracy might well.
