PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
Hugh Williamson Announces as
 Candidate For Reelection

Hugh Williamson announ- ees in today's paper as a candi- date for reelection as prosecu- ting attorney of tie Third Judi cial District.
 Those familiar with the record of MT. Williamson real jze that he has served the dis triet faithfully and fearlessly, and it is hardly probable that he will have opposition at this time.
 Mr. Williamson is a clean young man, is ably qualified as an attorney and investigator to fill the office of prosecutor, as his past record attests. During the past year or so the dockets of the circuit court have been greatly congested on account of the increase in crime, and MT. Williamson has devoted his time and talent to dispatch this business as quick as pos sible. He is on the job every day court is in session.
 Mr. Williamson has handled successfully several difficult technical cases which tested his ability as a lawyer. r h r e have also been several first de- gree murder cases, and every body knows Mr. Wililamson's excellent record in the handling of these cases.
 MT. Williamson's record can we'll be compared with that of any other prosecuting attorney of Arkansas, and his friends do not believe that his election will be contested for a second term, as he is deserving of an- other two years in the office.

The groom is the county agent of this county, and the bride is popu- lar in society and holds the position of organist at the First Presbyterian church, and is also teacher in music. The young couple left Sunday night On a short honeymoon trip, af- ter which they expect to keep house in Batesville.

Can the LQU Be Enforced
 Without Partiality?

but you can take it from us that this bunch of weddings" or "half breeds" who signed the petition "got it in the neck" good and proper fro m certain 100 percent citizens who favored no compromise with crime and thought the law should be fully vindicated.
 Whew! We had to stagger up to a telephone pole and lean against it to keep from col lapsing.
 But a few days pass, the scene changes, and about 20 men charged with violating the law, go into court and agree to plead guilty if the court will suspend sentence.
 The court accepts the offer, they plead guilty and are re- leased and return home, free men.
 Having dispensed with all the business of the term with this one great stroke of Justice, the court adjourns.
 And immediately these 100 per cent citizens who had put the gaff to the aforesaid weddings, stand up, to a man, and applaudl !
 Brayol Good work old boyi Hurrah for Dene!
 But do you know what that reminds us of? Remember what old man Webster said a. bout the OK being gored?
 It may be a crime to say it, but we can't help but wonder if somebody's OK was in dan ger?
 Judge Coleman may put the editor of The Journal in jail for contempt of court for say ing it, but We are bound to say there is very little real justice in such a procedure. It de- grades the law and breeds dis respect for the courts.
 Justice cannot be dealt out in wholesale quantities.
 Besides, number of the men whose names were signed to the alleged confession" and "reform pledge" are fugitiVes from justice. They are not in the county, and have not been f or som Q time. B u t no doubt when they hear of the courts act i 0 n they will be highly pleased and they too will stand up and ap- plaud as did their friends back home.
 But what about the II men recently sent up from Jackson county who are now serving sentences in the Arkansas peni- tentiary for violating the li- quor laws?
 Several of them plead guilty, and the editor of The Journal has personal knowledge of the fact that at least one of this number is a physical and men, tai weakling who for more than a year was under treat ment at the Arkansas Insane as the result of an ac- cident that left him a mental wreck for life. Although a piece of human driftwood, he has never been a criminal, but was caught in the drag-net of the law in the liquor cleanup in Newport, and on the advice of some one plead guilty and is now doing time on the Tuck CT farm.
 We wonder if he too win stand up and applaud when he learns how the courts in h. dependence county deal out justice?
 Oh, well, dammit-why did n't the darn idiot, and those other 13 bootleggers, come

how a mans personal interests, or the interest of his friends, will affect his views of right and wrong and will impell him to commend or condemn the other fellow.
 It is a fact, nevertheless, that mankind, from the highest to the lowest, is easily swayed by their prejudices or their personal interests.
 For instance, if we happen to have a slight dislike for Bill Smith, and Bill happens to vio- late the law, we at once be come indignant if Bill is not haled into court and justice meted out in large quantities. We believe in law and order, and We think it IS a shame and a disgrace the way our officers and courts permit such fragrant and open violations of law. Under such circumstances we often become eloquent advo- cates of law enforcement especially if a number of Bill Smiths happen to be caught in the drag-net of the law.
 But, regardless of how strong we may be for law en- forcement, if John Jones, who is personal friend of ours and friend of our family-if John is getting by" with some shady stuff that would get John into trouble and maybe send him to the penitentiary and disgrace him and his fami- ly-oh, well, man must be reasonable and use judgment, you know, so We keep awfully quiet.
 Understand, however, we are 100 per cent American citizen-we believe in law en- forcement and we stand four square to the world upon those things that mean better citi- zenship and higher standard of morality-do not forget that.
 It is wonderful thing to have a sense of humor in our make-up-we would be rank old grouch before we were 40 if we didn't have it. Touch your sense of humor and look at that bird-isn't he some pea cock But if the feathers were all off?.-haw! haw! haw-- funny old world isn't 1t?
 That is not supposed to be comedy-but it is.
 A certain man who up until a year or so ago had been a fairly good citizen and a sue cessful farmer, got to dabbling with booze, and as is always the case, sooner or later, he got caught. If man lives long enough, he always reaps at least a portion of what he sows-that is one of the inevi- table laws of nature, as en- during as Time, and Eternity. Like all other men, as long as he was getting by with it' 1t did not worry him. But when he got caught, his conscience began to hurt him. So he de- cided the best thing to do was to "come clean," plead guilty and take his punishment, al- though it meant one to three years in the pentitentiary. But he was going to do it, and was shaping his affairs to that end.
 A number of fairly good" citizens of Newark who prob ably believe in tempering jus tiee with mercy, signed a pe- tition asking Judge Coleman to be lenient with the man, know ing that it meant on a plea of guilty, not less than one year in the penitentiary.
