ed ship is Just as much United
States territory as is the post
office building here in Denver.
And we know the prohibition law
applies to a United States vessel
in mid ocean just as much as it
does to any home here in Den
yer.
Our lawmakers have a great
responsibility. 1t is their duty
to consult not only their own in
ciinations but the interests of all
the people as well. They should
no more enact laws which are too
much in advance of the times
than they should permit anti
uuated statutes to remain in eff
feet. Both work a hardpship up
on the people without bringing
about any noticeable amount of
good.
No law can be respected or uni
versally enforced unless it is bas-
ed upon the principle -of equal
justice to all. And its necessity
for the mutual protection of all
must be apparent. 1t has been
said repeatedly that the best gov
ernment is the one that governs
least. Especially is this true in
4 republic.
The majesty of the law must be
established in our country as
firmly as it is established in Eng
land. 1t must be looked up to
with the same respect and ven-
Grafton as are the crowned heads
of the smaller European coun-
tries. Like the king, the law can
do no wrong.
To achieve this degree of re-
spect for authority we must de-
pend upon education. Children
must be taught to respect their
parents, their teachers, even
their honest antagonists. The
fanatic who has no respect for
the ideas of others will always
be a danger to society no matter
how excellent his intentions may
be. Children who grow up with
filial respect naturally have re-
spect for all authority. They ac-
cept laws as they find them. They
recognize governmental rules as
something to be obeyed-not an
inspiration for mockery.
More people are law abiding
thru fear of losing the respect
and confidence of their fellows
than thru fear of punishment.
And it is because they were rear
ed in accordance with that COM
mandment:
Honor thy father and thy
mother
