There are no methods by which
Justice should be averted except the
methods prescribed by law. The
poor midnight thief who steals a
ham to support his hungry child is
often caught and punished while the
man who steals q railroad is made
its president. These apparent injus-
tees come because of the doctrine
that public opinion must be consulted
before law Is enforced.
Whether the man be plumber or
preacher, whether he be a banker or
butcher, whether he be the head of
labor organization or the president
of a capitalistic trust if he violates
the law, dehes this government,
fiaunts his infamy in the face of the
Constitution he ought to be put in
the penitentiary and fed on bread
and water until he confesses his
wrong, pays his penalty to society
and is willing to kiss the flag every
day the rest of his life.
Law is supreme and should be
enforced.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Il Is often said that law enforce
hnent depends upon public opinion.
There was never more fallacious
statement made. It is a smoke
screen which often hides cowardly,
inefficient or corrupt public Off
Gals. That doctrine has done
more to break down respect for
law and to prevent the enforce
ment of law than any other state
ment ever made.
Law IS sovereign. There Is no
such thing and never was such .
thing as the divine right of kings.
But there is such a thing and there
will be forever such a thing as the
divine, sovereign right Of law. Law
Is sovereign. And laws ought to
conform to the sovereign right of
eternal LAW.
No criminal believes in law. No
criminal believes in the penalty that
