For the Good of the Community

IN southern city twenty years ago, be- 1 fore utilities and the local govern ments had adopted some of the modern methods of striking amicable bargains, a street car interest declined to grant trans fers.
 It was not in the contract; 1t was not in that law Many mayors would thereupon have given up and taken it out in lambast- ing the utility But this mayor dug for other laws than contained in the contract. He discovered one that compelled the paving of space between car tracks by the utility wheresoever these tracks might be in the city limits.
 He called his concilmen together and they ordered the utility to pave between tracks in the remotest section of the city. There was expostulation. Then there was give-and-take conference. Then the utility granted transfers and the paving ordinance was withdrawn
 The moral of this is not that city's business is to be out gunning for utilities or anyone else, but that there is law enough in the land for all who like law. In particular, it is edifying to quote from recent report of Attorney General J. @. Smith, who said:
 Alabama's criminal laws now
 cover every subject known to crin-
 inal jurisprudence and all that is
 now needed is conservative, every
 day, honest enforcement of the
 statutes
 This matter Claw enforcement)
 now rests entirely with the officers
 and the law-abiding citizens of Ala
 bama who are and always will be an
 important factor in law enforcement
 an good government
 Citizens have more to do with enforce ment of the law than the law itself. Ob- servance of the law is in exact proportion to the laW-abiding sense of a community.
 They had plenty of laws in the days of Jeffries, who cruelty enforced them to the letter Russia has had an abundance of laws. There were innumerable laws in France when the masses broke through all restraints and precipitated bloody revolution. The more men Jeffries hung the more there were presenting them selves to be hung.
 Asnations progress, there are obsolete laws on it's statute books. Public opinion has deposited them in the trashpile. The law is always what the people say it shall be. Laws observance is what they decree out of the state of their development
 'sWhy don't they adopt law?" etc., is frequent refrain. This question is often put by those who wink at the violation of a law which they hate than by one who wants all laws observed. Until individ- uals quit specializing on the laws which they wish enforced and those whose evas- ion they condone, there will always be that cry for new laws and neglect of those which we have

PORTUGUESE.
/. RIFLEMEN
Shooting Team Enthusiastically Train
ing to Make Good Showing in
Olympic Games at
Antwerp.
by John De Gandt, United Press
Staff Correspondent

I
Staff Correspondent
LISBON, June 10.-(By Mail)-
The Portuguese committee for the
Olympic games is working hard so hs..
this country will be well represented
at Antwerp.
Among others, the shooting team is
enthusiastically training. On account
of the severe control which is made.
it is certain that the team selected
out of all the candidates will be con-
stituted by the most excellent men
Portugal now has.
There will be six tests before the
final selection. After the first test,
there will be twenty shooters taken
in, this number being reduced after
each OF the other five tests, to keep
seven who will form the team.
In the provinces, the shooters are
training hard, too, and some results
already known are satisfactory. 1t
is very likely that the team for Ant
werp will include men of Lisbon and
MARIA.
The various tests are Tor rife and
pistol shooting. It seems that the
men chosen for rife shooting will al
so be taken for pistol shooting, judg-
ing from the results obtained so far.
The committee has just announced
the selecting tests will begin early in
July, the shooters having to leave Lis
bon in sufficient time to be able, at
Antwerp, to train a little on the spot
and get used to the life there, also
to take the necessary rest before the
begin. The committee
points out that such sacrifice as
sending men to Antwerp would not
be of any use if they were not in best
shane to show what they really can do.
Therefore, the arms and material will
perhaps be sent to Antwerp before
hand. or the shooters will take them
along themselves, to avoid any loss or
confusion.
