A GOOD RECORD

The answer to the question that is
often asked as to how TO stop viola
tions of the liquor laws, and other
laws, for that matter, is to be found
in the record made by judge in
Maryland, for within two and one
haf hours after man was arrested
for operating an illicit still he was
on his way TO serve sentence of six
months in Jail. The profits of being
in the illicit distilling business
would soon run small in the eyes of
the operators if they knew that Jail
sentence and hard labor were waiting
around the corner.
1t is not meant to state directly or
imply any criticism of the courts of
the country, for there are various
reasons which contribute to delay in
the judiciary system, but the fact I'M
doubtedly is that much of the pres
ent disregard for law would he done
away with on the instant if trials
and convictions could be spceded up
There arc few arguments for a life
Of law observance SO powerful as a

duce to road mending size, end we
