handing an exhaustive investigation
with the view of administering maximum
punishment to those who may be guilty
and of protecting the reputation of those
who may be unjustly accused.
To say that many "peonagc' charges
made against Texans have been proved
false is not to express the opinion that
such will be the outcome OF any invcsti-
CATION that may be made into the
charges brought against Grayson county
officials or citizens by Senior McXla.
If it is possible for these accusations to
be literally true, the fact that similar
charges affecting other parts OF the state
have been disproved would seem to
counsel the Withholding Of judgment
until the matter shall have been searched
to the bottom.
1t is very easy for an entire state to
acquire an evil reputation on account
of irregularities Of public officials, or
even OF private citizens, in any part OF
that state. But so far as character,
as contradistinguishcd from reputation,
is Concerned. any community or state
must be Judged by its attitude toward
evil practices rather than by occasional
indulgence in such practices on the part
of citizens here and there. For example.
the practice OF peonage in any part of
Texas, discrcditable though it would be,
would not be half 50 significant as the
failure OF the state government 10 put
down that practice even though it was
not general.
1t is the plain duty Of the governor

Watching the Parade

Whenever l get to feeling that a
great wrong is crushing me to earth
when my soul squcaks like a frog
under a gate-I think of the Great
Goldfish Scandal and try to settle
down. The moral I gathered from
the Great Goldfish Scandal is that
things are not always what they
seem. l firmly believe in throwing
mud at Il neighbor when he deserves
it-and if the mud doesn't scatter too
much. But it is safer to make sure
that he deserves it before the mud
is thrown.
"Item-six dollars and n half for

ASCERTAIN THE FACTS

Several times during the last few
years alleged cruel treatment OF Mcxi-
can laborcrs by those for whom thcv
were working has been reported from
various parts Of Texas. II nearly every
case the word "pconage" has appeared
in the charges. But seldom have The
charges been SubStantiated to that de
gree. 1t is to be observed, loo, that such
accusations have most gcne.al.v been
made against employers in South Texas.
1t is to be hoped that charges made
recently against Grayson county, in
North Texas, by Enrique Mcxia. Of the
Mexican Consulate at Dallas, will like
wise prove to have exaggerated the
facts. One might hope also that the
charges would be disprovcd entirely
but the story told by the consular agent
is replete with such details as to make
that hope seem idle. Possibly d moro
serviceable sentiment would be that de-

TO THE LAWS" RESCUE

He Is 4 man Of vision and under
standing Who can read. as he travels
swiftly along the road OF life the ur-
written signs Of danger ahead and in
ternret them 10 mean that he himself
IS riding ior I iall. He is a wise man
who, reading such signs and putting
that personal Interpretation upon them,
draws in his -eins and takes measures
To avert the calamity which lies in front
of him.
So, the organizers Of the American
Law Institute may be regarded as wise
men. Many lawyers ior some time have
been reading. and Interpreting as warn
ings to themselves and . existing gov
ernmental institutions in this country,
certain signs appearing along the high
way of public affairs, Eur heretofore
there has been no drawing Ct rcins.
Lawmakers, particularly, have not ap-
probably slackened thei. pace in the
direction OF serious trouble 0: which
they were forcwarned by tic roadside
markers Some Ct the miestones erect
ed by the men who laid out the coun-
try's governmental routes have been
levelcd, others have been kicked into
oblique positions and the ones still re-
manning upright have been threatened
with removal.
The first apparently comprehensive
effort yet made to save the situation
is the one launched by lawyers and
judges at recent meeting in WASH
ington, D. c. According to a news
report, the meeting was ATTENDED by
probably the most distinguished gath
ering of the legal profession in the his
tory Of the country" including the JUS
ticcs of the United States Supreme
Court, members of many of the state
supreme courts and prominent lawyers
from every state in the union.
The avowed objects of the new or
ganization are to promote the clarifi-
cation and simplification of the law,
secure better administration of justice
and carry on scientific legal work" This
program is seen at a glance to be suf-
ficiently comprehensive to cover any
activity in which the institute might
engage for the bctterment of govern
mental conditions. But if the project

of "the law" it would be cmincntly
worth while
In its report the committee on perma-
nent organization mentioned two chief
defects in American statutes-"uncer-
tainty" and "complcxity." These de-
fects, it said, cause useless litigation,
prevent resort to the courts to enforce
just rights, make it often impossible to
advise persons of their rights and when
litigation is actually begun create delay
and expense"
The LIGHT has repeatedly pointed
out those defects as constituting Il
grave danger to this country's form
| of government When the people are
Nle sovereigns and yet are unable to
ascertain from any source Just what
"the law is, men who make, adminis-
ter and practice law are in a prccari-
Gus position, and they can extricatc
themselves from it only by facing about
and guiding "the law in the direction
in which the originators OF the repub}i-
can form Of government intended it
