CAPITOL IS BUSY

Although executive instructions is- sued Saturday were to the effect that all state departments might cease functioning Christmas Eve and also Christmas Day, there was quite q little work going on at the capitol and it's surrounding buildings Mon day morning.
 Many of the state officials refused to take the governor's% instruction literally, and were at their offices to catch up the loose ends before en- tering upon the holidays. Among these was Governor Brandon himself, who refused to obey his own order by working an hour or so Monday morn ing before enjoying his holiday rest.
 However, the various officials, clerks, etc, said they would do bet ter on the morrow and that on De- cember 25 the lid would be on good and tight as far as state activities were concerned.

and experience, I have decided to undertake the task that has been placed on me. 1 shall of course, expect the active support of every member of the commission and of every law-abidng citizen of our community. In carrying on the work it will be necessary for me, with your approval, to determine the per sonnel, organization and policy of the department. In order to accomplish the purpose for which I have been appointed, if it is necessary for me to serve one year, l shall do so. But if it should appear that purpose has been fully accomplished sooner, l shall then feel at liberty to resign
 q cannot afford, of course, to give up the practice of my profession; ] have certain engagements which 1t is my duty to fulfill. have clients whose business I value and I shall expect to continue my practice. in so far as it shall not be inconsistent with the duties which I am about to assume. l shall give up entirely the practice of criminal law, during my term of office.
 q shall expect, in so far as it is pos sible, to conduct the office as the representative of the city of Mobile, and not as the representative Of any class or group of citizens. It will be the policy of the department to en- force the law fairly, impartially and strictly. but at the same time with sympathy and understanding.
 Tt is not sufficient, however, mere ly that this department endeavor to enforce the laws. There must also be a spirit of law observance, not only in the low places, but in the high places as well. The man who violates the prohibition law by having liquor unlawfully in his possession is as guilty as the man who sold it to him. Nor can the buyer of prohibited liq- uors, without hypocrisey, insist upon strict prosecution of the man who sells such liquors.
 T realize, also, that alone, I can do but but little in the office. l shall covet and desire the loyalty and support of every man in the de- partment and I shall also expect the law a biding citizens of our commu- nifty to rally to the support of the department and it's members"
