Enforcing the Law.

I'm tired of it all" the Iowa preacher
sheriff, whose name has become familiar to
newspaper readers throughout the country, is
quoted as saying at the end OF his term jan
uary 1st. The expression may be accepted as
sincere. as Sheriff Robbs experience as
law officer was tumu1tuous and therefore try
ing. He had hard job, and the manner OF
his aentrance into office made it harder. He
made the mistake of promising too great
things and he was unable to redeem his
promises. His record Of accomplishment was
disappointing to the public and doubtless to
him. He encountered insurmountable OBJ
stacles in his effort to enforce the law. Many
of these obstacles were of his own creating
1t is not always possible to enforce the law
with brass band accompaniment He would
have had better luck had he not supplied SO
much sensational copy to the newspapers.
Publicity in his case, as is so often over
| done by public men, overdone.
| The task of law enforcement these days IS
particularly difficult calling for discretion and
courage of the highest order. This mans ex-
perience should serve to emphasize in the
public mind the determined resistance that
blocks the way of law enforcement and should
strengthen public support of every othcer to
whom is entrusted the task of administering
the law Enforcement of the law is made
hard not only by those who openly DEFY it.
but by the irresolution, indifference and di-
vivid opinions of the law-abiding. When a
law officer fails in his duty it is not always
he alone who is to blame frequently failure
is at least partly due to lack OF public sup
port. They would all do better if they were
given a better quality of backing

that was boosted as eliminating the negro

tended was that Georgia does not need both
the white primary and the dsfranchisement

we have its faults shown up the sooner we
find out where we are. Certainly, if the dis

not need, in connection Herewith, white

86,OoO,OOO,OO0 YEARS.

An eminent scientist estimates that the lite
of the sun will continue for fully 86,OOO,OOO,-
600 years, which ought to permit humanity
on the earth to work out its plan of civiliza-
ton to the utmost of perfection. Surely that
would be time enough in which to develop a
destiny for which the ultimate in culture
might be claimed. Mankind could not in
reason ask longer period in which to COM
p1ete any mortal task.
DIR. Arrhenius, the Swedish authority quot
ed as estimating the life of the sun in such an
enormous figure, may be reasonably close in
his calculations and, again, he could be far
away from the truth with no one able to dis
pute his assertions However, when he re-
calls that the past has been period of time
running into the billions of years there seems
to be solid enough basis on which to pre-
dict future for the sun that will mark the
passing of more aeons before it dies. No one
could begin to conceive what 86,000,0000OO
years would mean as to time, AS far as the
human mind is concerned it might make the
same impression as would eternity. 1t is diff
fcult to separate the two in meaning, just as
difficult as to measure space in trillions OF
miles.
A most impressive illustration of what
eternity means is furnished in Hendryk Van
Looms book in which heetels the story OF
mankind In substance it is as follows;
In the land of Svithjod there is
stone 100 miles long, 100 miles high and
100 miles wide. Once every thousand
years little bird flies to that stone. to
sharpen its bill. When the stone thus
shall have been worn away, then sim
gle day of eternity will have passed.
One might wonder whether the sharpen
ing OF the birds bin on the stone ever would
wear it away. Yes, if continued, for it is to be
that eternity does not end. At
last the impossible would be accomplished.
Not in 86,000,00O000 years would that hap
pen, but mortal man must remember that
the span of life accorded to the sun by Dr.
Arrhenius really would be an infnitesima
division of the time bound up in that awe
some future which is called eternity.
