state, he was above the courts pro-
cesses, and read an opinion by his
counsel to that effect.
IF ] arrest you, you figure on COM

II will do whatever is necessary to
fulfill my obligation to the people and
to uphold the constitution Of the
state" tersely replied Governor Small.

The statement read to the sheriff by
the governor follows:
Il am here performing the duties of
governor of the state.
Il have been commissioned by the
people of the state to exercise their eX-
ecutive functions during my term of
office.
my legal advisers, ex-Gov. Joseph
w. Fifer, Hon. James Nj. Graham and

me, that it is my duty under the con
stitution and my oath of office to de-
cline to submit myself to the jurisdic-

nor.
Above judicial Branch.
ITO submit myself to the courts
would mean TO make the executive de-
partment of the government subject to
the judicial department, which would
be direct violation of the constitu-
ton. My first duty under my oath OF
office is to uphold the constitution and
/ have no right to permit interference
with that duty, whatever my personal
preference might be.
II must therefore, in obedience to
my oath of Office, decline to submit
myself to the jurisdiction of the judi

Why not live stock organization

thousands to the county. We have
one of the best sheep counties in

cattle and hogs. An organization
like the one referred to above would
improve the breed and create an
