RESPECT FOR LAW

Judge William Hawley Atwell, u
S. District Court. Dallas. Texas).
+ DO NOT share in what I think
I is a thoughtless estimate Of the
public of our country. / do not believe
there Is any lack of respect" for the
law. 1 believe that every lawbreaker
has respect" for that which he
breaks. He really has not the proper
respect for himself. He breaks the
law regardless of consequences.
Of course, each of the dictionary
definitions of the word respect"
would inhibit the disregard of that
which one respects" When one does
break a command of his mother it
does not mean he does not respect
her-it merely means he does not
obey her, and does. not follow her
advice.
I believe there is as much respect
for the law in the United States as
there has ever been, but there is more
disregard Of personal safety than
there ever has been. This personal
safety disregard is exhibited in the
extraordinary things the young, and
for that matter, the old too, do. The
defying of law of gravity; the defy
ing fthe law Of the deep; the defy
ing of the law of health; the defying
of the law of morals; the defying of
all of the old time views with refer
ence to personal conduct.
It is new world.
My experience on the bench war
rants me in saying that the lawbreak-
er has as much respect or the honest,
honorable lawenforcer, as has the
man who never breaks the law.
The strong thinkers must solve the
situation with new remedy, and not
seek to apply the old ideas to this
new evidence of life.

Every year there are a great many
parcel post packages that become
lost in the mails. To partly overcome
this the postal department recon-
mends that when a parcel is sent by
mail the sender should enclose his

addressee. Thus, if the package be-
comes damaged or outside address
mutilated the package can be sent
on by means of the address enclosed.
A great many large wholesale houses
are adopting this method and it is
proving very helpful.
