Big Facts IN Simple Questions



(ContiHEsd from Issue of April is. J
The judiciary is primarily re
sponsible for the miscarriage o
law in justice and equity. /
tecbnicality may in some particu
lar case be justifiabIe in equity
but when used, as SO often it is
to defeat the purpose of the Law
and set at liberty the crinina
and turn him loose on society, il
q monstf0us perversion of Law
both in justice and equity. This
fact has had more to do than any
thing else in dishonoring the Law
and cheating justice, while it has
become the occasion of organized
mob-law and fostered and en-.
couraged crime and lawlessness
In the individual. The one for
the protection of home and So
s'e.y' the other to profit by the
laxity Of law to prey upon So
ciety.
You have heard it said that the
law is no stronger than the senti-
ment OF the people. In q sense
that is true. but in the main it is
false as applied to the execution
OF the law. The very being and
presence OF law represents the
will and sentiment of the people.
No body has the right to locaIize
2 national or state law, nor ex-
empt bis locality from the pro-
vision and power of the law. The
executives oath Of Office carries
no such provisor as. if it is con-
venient'to you, and accords with
the sentiment of the people, en-
force It; if not. let it be null andl
void as far as your locality is con-
cerned. The weak leg in ourI
governmental machinery is the
executive, and ! affirm. in this
connection. that law. whatever til
may have back Of it, is in no wayl
stronger than the executive, and
there y no exception to the,state-
ment. Why should q people have

dlgnation and demand that the
executive % his duty?
The Law represents thewiIlofthe

SUIT OVER LYME PROPERTY
WITHDRAWN FROM COT

suit brought in August, 1921, by
Mrs. Julia L. Noyes of New York
against her husband. Harry j. Noyes of
Lyme for sale and partition of certain
real and personal property has beep
withdrawn without costs from the su-
perior court.
In her complaint Mrs. Noyes repre-
scented that in Dec. Is, 1919, she and
her husband jointly decided each to the
ether an undivided one-half interest in
four tracts of land in Lyme of about Is
IL acres in all. In the same way they
decided an undivided one-half interest in
all household property owned by either
of them or owned jointly.
The property in question is worth
over $4,000, it is claimed in the COM
plant and writ, which goes on to state
that Mr.. Noyes by bringing another wo-
man to live with him in the house and
by other acts on his part has made /,
impossible for the plaintiff to continue
to live in the house situated on the
lyme premises, which at the time of the
execution of the deed was the home Of
the man and wife and that has prevent
ed his wife from occupying the prem
ises and having the reasonable use am
possession of the real and persona
property. The purpose for which tn,
deed was executed, namely, to secure t,
each of the parties, during their life
time, a home, has been defeated by act
of Mr.. Noyes who to the great injur!
| and humiliation of the plaintiff. ha!
| compelled his wife to leave the sal,
! premises. The defendant is in actua
| possession of said real and persona
property.

pleasure to be with the boys and and girls
that were carrying on the work today. He
also told of his visits to several of the
large exchanges in the large cities of the
country.

cleared for dancing and programme of
