Speaker Gillett drew the obvious con-

he referred to what I'VE all have in
mind as the greatest impeachment to-day

ent condition of Mexico"
In part Mr.. Gillett's remarks follow {:
Il and all OF US in the United States
appreciate very much the sympathy
which We experienced from some of the
recent war which led them to unite and
to risk their fortunes with ours. That
certainly has induced on our part n
warmth Of feeling and Of sympathy
which we had not felt before and It
was natural. and IL seems to me neces-
sary. for, after all. all the countries on
this hemisphere have now the same prin-
ciple of popular government. We are
all alike in trusting to the people. We
believe that IT Is the people that shall
rule. and at the same time X think all
our experience will bring home to us
that in popular government, as in every
other kind of government, our hopes OF
prosperity and progress lie in the con-
slant supremacy of the law.
The people make the law and the
people must obey the law until the peo-
pie in a legal manner change the law
We want the supremacy OF law and we

THE FRUSTRATIOn OF CRIME.

The story of successful crime travel:
4 long way and makes deep impress
sion. 1t was telegraphed all over the
country that Minneapolis bank was
robbed the other day by hold-ulp mer
OF $4,000 in cash and $4,000 III
Liberty bonds. Amateur crooks all
over the country read stories like these
and are encouraged to try their little
breaks.
Meanwhile a lot of crooks are trying
out their desperate ventures without
success The news or these affairs does
not usually travel very far. 1t is not
dramatic and startling enough. But
the probabilities are that for every
successful crime. there are half q
dozen futile attempts.
This does not mean that unsuccess-
full criminals are always caught. But
they are headed off. compelled to run
for their lives. They have TO keep very
close for time, often to transfer
~ ~~ations to places where they arr
less we'll known. As rule criminals
do not prosper. The experts may
make big haul occasionally, but
there are very lean times. Invariably
thev spend much of their time i'm Jail.
These facts should be impressed on
the weak minded and vicious men and
boys who have acquired the notion
that crime is profitable. 1t should be
made clear to them that criminals get
the least opt Of life Of any class Of
society.
The Illustration of crime does
more to restrain potential crooks than
any preaching. The policeman, the
bank official, the citizen who has the
presence of mind to confront the
would-be rObber or burglar and drive
him off if he can't capture him, helps
keep weak men straight. A bold front
usually confounds the criminal and
sends him fleeing.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 9, 1919
IMPORTANT, FARMERS.

we want to call attention to the
farmers of Carroll county that they
should in a particular and very
strenuous degree wage heavy war
against the mustard plant or water
cress which is becoming so prevalent
in our community.
This is a very serious proposition
for the farmers and it has been known
that many farms have been practi-
cally ruined by the spread of these
weeds.
We would make q suggestion that
every farmer make up his mind today
to give his time and money to the de-
struction Of these weeds as it is more
or less in its infancy today and can
be combated with results, whereas If
it is allowed to spread it will be i'm
possible i'm the next year or so to
get rid of it.
So let every farmer join with his
neighbor farmer and start at once to
destroy these horrible pest weeds.
All must fight together as IL 1t is
not killed on every farm the winds
will spread it to the next farm and
our efforts will be in vain this year,
and next year another attack will
have to be made.-Written by Robert
Il. Shriver. ..
