Justice and Fair Dealing

I'm these great new days in which we live, amidst
the rapid development Of science and transportation
bringing all nations and peoples very close TO one an
other, during these prosperous times we are expert
encing, there comes a definite and ringing cnaLenge
to every citizen to hold the line for right and justice
in periods Of peace" remarked former Speaker ROD
et Lee Bobbitt to the Confederate veterans at the
thirty-second annual reunion of Camp Ben McCul-
Tough. I'VE simply engage in the philosophy OF TOOL
ing ourselves when we fail to recognize the dangers
which beset us on every hand, both from an inter-
national and national standpoint. True citizenship
consists not only in following the flag gladly in time
of war while the drums are beating, or OF taking a
temporary or spasmodic interest in the affairs OF gov
eminent now and then, but rather in the everlasting
and definite dedication of the best that is in each OF
us to the cause Of good government, based upon JUS
tice and fair dealing"
Former Speaker Bobbitt has been picked for at
torney general by newspaper correspondents he has
been picked for a place on the nine-judge supreme
court bench; he has been introduced, informally and
unofficially, as a gubernatorial possibility.
Dismissing all this, to quote from the vocabulary
of the man in the street, in addressing the veterans,
the pride of Laredo and the Rio Grande said a
mouthful."
