DANGER OF DIsRESPEcT

Jacksonville Times-Union: As long
as men like Judge Andrew j. Cobb of
Athens, Ga, sit in our courts of just
ice and interpret and apply the law
of the land in manner as he sees it
there need be no fear of misuse of leg
al remedy for the redress of wrongs.
This is indicated in a charge which
he made to grand jury in his court
some days ago and in the course of
which he said.
One of the greatest, if not the
greatest evils of the present day
is disrespect for authority in every
phase of life where authority is
to be exercised, and especially
disrespect for the law and the au-
thCrities constituted for the law
The preservation of our institu-
teas a'.5olutely depends upon the
Law being enforced through the
constituted authority Of the land.

states so plainly ought to be ap'

is not. "Disrespect for authority" of.

Is. indeed, menace not only to our
institutions but to the very people
themselves. to those showing dis
respect for authority" as well as to
those who approaching full well the
need for righful authority give there
to all proper respect. This menace
can he and should be averted through
proper respect for authority whether

WILL CUT COST
OF GERMAN SHOES

BRLINE. Sept. 80. (By Mail)-
The German poorer classes are
soon to have shoes from the army
leather supply which will cost only
35 or 40 marks, instead of from 20
up into the hundreds.
An organization has already been
formed by the cabinet which, under
the strict control of the government
will arrange for the production OF
these cheap shoes from army
leather stocks. BY the first or next
May the government hopes to put
them on sale, but is going to take
especial care that there can be NO
illicit trade, for the shoes will prob
ably have to be sold at a loss. The
question of what are the limits OF
poorer people" will also have to
be settled.
