use him in mitigation of his own
offenses. The blockader has a per-
feet right to resent an officer cap
turing his liquor and then drinking
it out to his friends. | am happy
to say that while such practices
were once common, they are now
very rare and no self-respecting of
fcer will be guilty of such conduct.
And all this is but the result of the
pubHc's attitude in regard to this
question. The officer knows who his
master is and is quick to respect
his standards. With the utmost pre-
cision he is able to guage public
sentiment toward every act of his
official life and with uncanny in
tuition he knows how far to 90. Thus
it may be seen of what tremendous
Importance it is that the public guard
well the behavior of its officers of
the law and that it demand of them
nigh standards of conduct.
By Moulding Proper Public
Sentiment.
4. Hardly a week passes that
someone does not rise up in right
eous indignation against the authori-
ties for failing to enforce the laws.
And yet it is well known fact that
for the most part our statutes are
enforced just about as rigidly or as
laXly as public sentiment dictates.
1t sounds almost commonplace to re
fer to the influence of public senti-
ment in the matter of law enforce
| ment. And yet the public general
ly seems to lose sight of the fact
that it is well nigh all-powerful in
this regard. The best way on earth
to enforce a law is to obey it. This
adds to our self-respect 1t lessons
the expense. 1t saves time. Instead
of coercion, persuasion is used. Rea-
son is employed instead of force.
And at this time the public can rem
der no greater service to humanity
than to teach respect for, and obedi-
| ence to, the laws of our land. The
principle of obedience to law should
be proclaimed in the home, in the
school room, from the pulpit and in
the press until its Importance is felt
by everyone. The public should
take livelier interest in the laws OF
the land. They should talk about
law, think about it and read it I'M
til they fully realize what difficult
thing it is to wisely legislate and
| execute law. Too often it happens
that wave of reform sweeps over
community and puts into office 4
select set of men and then the pub
lie leaves it to these officers alone
to execute the laws, forgetting it's
own important part in fostering Il
wholesome public sentiment. Here
in lies the pubhc's greatest oppor-
tunity for service in law enforce
ment.

security ofshis Columbus home to- the
highest pinnacle Of racing fame.
Rickeknbacher became part of the
a.. e. F. after a series of rebuffs.
When the United States entered the
war, he was in England buying racing
cars. He Immediately returned to this
country and offered his services. He
tried to get governmental sanction to
q plan of his to enlist flying squadron
from among racing drivers of the
country, but army officials turned the
proffer down.
A few weeks later Rickenbacher
was on his way overseas as chauffeur
to General Pershing. A short time af-
ter arriving abroad, he was in an avi-
tion training camp, placed there
through the personal Intervention Of
General Pershing.
Rickenbacher bagged his first Ger
man early in 1918. Within a month he
spite his delayed entrance into avi-
alton, he was the second American to
be given the title of ace.
At this juncture, he met with an
accident that nearly ended his career
as flyer.
His ear drums were split as the re-
suit of a 6OOO-foot fall which came af-
ter single-handed fight against three
German planes. The tip of one of
the wings of the plane Rickenbacher
was plotting was carried away by a
hostile Fokker, and he plunged to
earth: He was pronounced incapaci-
tated for further service.
The former racing driver refused to
be put out Of the running, and carried
his case direct to General Parshing.
The latter ruled that he still might
fight.
When he became captain, Ricken-
bacher commanded the famous Hat-in-
the Ring Squadron. His victories con-
tinued to pile up, one after the other,
until he was acclaimed American ace
of aces.
Many Of the medals and cups won
and conferred upon Rickenbacher dur
ing his career, are packed carefully
away in the little frame cottage here,
but there are four things Mrs. Eliza
beth Rickenbacher, his mother, values
more than anything else. They are:
