It Is Quite Possible to Have
Too Much to Do

and thereby allow some things to be neglected
to ones disadvantage.
1t is the experience of most business people
that postponing what need not be done
Immediately only adds greater burdens for the

The only remedy for this is get through
with each days work on the day it arrives and
turn over the surplus to another, and thus
prevent it's accumulation.

Points At Which Justice In American
Courts Break Down.

Dallas (TeX } Farm & Ranch.
The guilt or innocence of the party
before the bar OF justice has be-
come of less importance than the
ability of the LAWYERS IN the case to
sway the jury with imprisoned pleas
or influence the court with their
skill in picking flaws in the papers
or in the manner in which evidence
is presented. The safety of the pub
lie is no longer considered. AS IN
the days of the elder Vanderbilt, it
is The Public be- damned. Meth
er are those who suffer because of
crime given any consideration. The
Courts of Justice : grind slowly" at
all times. but exceedingly fine"
only in cases where the man charg-
ed with crime is without money aud
without friends. Lawyers are sworn
office OF the court. Under their
oath it is their duty to e
that their client has er @
TO him all the rights accorded
him under the taw-no less and no
more. Under the practice develop
ed, the lawyer for the defense is per-
mited to take advantag of every
techncaity to free his client, guilty
or not, and the more abhorrent tie
crime, the prouder the lawyer is who
succeeds in turning him loose to COM
mit other crimes. The practice has
gone further than the use of techni-
calities. 1t is no longer dishonorable
unless caught in the act, to scowl,
brow beat and confuse witnesses, to
hide them out away from the juris-
diction OF the court, and it is believed
often pay for testimony. This is a
serious charge and probably difficult
of proving owing to the power and
Influence of the courthouse ring in
which lawyers of this character find
protection and shelter. but we dare
say is known to be fact even to the
more honorable members of the pro
fession. If all the lawyers who fai
to live up to the spirit of their oath
as officers of the court, and who com
nit crimes in order to secure the
freedom of their clients, were IN the
penientiary, there would be a mark
ed subsistence in the annual crime

Believes Violation of Prohibition Laws
Responsible for Crime Wave.

Christian (Nashville) Advocate.
Yes, the prohibition law is being
widely, defiantly and outrageousy
violated. 1t is being violated 1ot
only by those who are uot assumed
to have any respect for law in gen
eral; put by citizens who talk OF
their civic LOYALTY and by men who
as officials have sworn to Uphold the
majesty of he law Can il be mat
er of wonder that there is such a
widespread aud fragrant violation of
prohibition aud state and federal
laws when liquor in large quantities
can be drawn by permits from every
bonded warehouse in the land, when
only a pitab y small force of officials
to secure the enforcement OF prohi-
bition laws has been appointed, and
when even officials wink at law vio-
latior? 1t is no wonder, also, that
this spirit of law violation in con-
nection with prohibition is largely
responsible for the crime wave which
is now sweeping over the country.

Carthage Carthagenlan.
A bill providing capital punish
ment for robbery this week passed
the Arkansas State Senate without
a dissenting vote. Ii such a law
we're made throughout the country
1t might have savory effect. How
ever, the crimlnally inclined fear
not so much the severity of the pen
atty as the certainty of punishment
and that is why 1T is so necessary at
this time of crime, crime and more
crime that all ~iiberiy loving. law
abiding citizens put the stamp OF
disapprDval on all lawlessness and
lend every effort TO the suppression
of crime.

Some Method Must Be Found to Stamp

The summary of facts leading up
to the killing of two faithful officers
10 Greene County. Mississippi, few
days ago by alleged moonsh,L ers re-
veals a condition that is abhorrent
to law-abiding citizens of the state.
1t shows the desperation to which
men will go where they have SO far
lost respect for law as to eggage in
the unlawful manufacture and sale of
the stuff that has been legally ban
ished from the country. # has been
a matter of common knowledge, ac-
cording to reports. that the moon
sinners have done a Furnishing bnsi-
ness in Green and some of the other
counties to the south of us. We are
not prepared to say that it is not
flourshing right here in bauderdale
county, for persons who are given to
the use of the wildcat brand assert
that they are never at great trouble
to secure supply of as much as may
be needed. There must be found
some method to stamp out This law
essness, and it is the man who know
better than to engage IN it that
should be first gone after. 1t is the
example of these fellows higher up"
that leads the more ignorant class in
to open violation, and when this class
gets a start and ills up on the swill
from his still he is prepared to CON-
nit murder as soon as law officer
shows his head.
