THE LAW For OTHERS.

THE ~condoning of enforcement of
one law is encouragement to the pub
lie to violate all law. An Ex-Chief
of Police Of Kansas City, says that
an individual approves of the en-
forcement of law until he violates
one, and that while he has been the
head of his department no individual
has ever called at his office to pledge
his support in enforcing laws.
The Law enforcement Committee of
the American Bar Assn, which has
been in session in San Francisco, re-
ports there is less respect for law
in the U. s. than any country, and
that our methods of fighting criminal
law violations are both inefficient and
inadequate.
The authorities, including the Co.
urts, cannot effectively fight crime
unless the possess the substantial and
united support of the law abiding
clLlZefSHlp u LHe IdtAOH" CNSh Az
the matter of traffic violations the
public's attitude is shown. One man,
when his attention is called to his
violating a traffic law, will thank
the officer and imediately comply
with the law. Another, equally as
good a citizen apparently, will accept
the information from an officer in
an offended attitude and consider the
Lolice officious in taking the matter
Up with him.
If you consider yourself a law a.
biding citizen see that you cooperate
with the authorities in making their
work easy. Realize that as a law
abiding citizen, your violation of even
a minor ordinance will encourage the
vicious minded to break the more
important laws. Do not condone any
law violation. The towns where laws
are obeyed 'by consent" r not good
places to live in. One of the first
principles of good citizenship is obey
ingthe law.

1928 FALL SHOW
MEXICO should plan NOW for

MEXICO should plan NOW for a
Fall entertainment in 1928.
This should be an annual event. To
make it a success a years planning
and advertising is none too much.
Underwriting the finances of this
show should be undertaken and COM
pleted Immediately. The date should
be chosen and kept before the public
for the next twelve months.
The premium list should be pre-
pared and published SO the farmers
could plant accordingly and pre-
pare to have the stuff to show next
Fall.
This premium list should include
prizes for county schools as well as
other Audrain institutions which
would prove educational and worth
while.
The renewal of the old Jibat Bal
wouldn't be a bad plan. 1t was
social event which attracted atten.
tion throughout this section Of Mis-
souri, and brought hundreds here fol
the day and evening.
If this to be undertaken start
should be made at once. The money
should be pledged and then nothing
left undone to advertise the event anc
its big features.
