A thousand citizens gathered in Wilkes
county to protest against the failure OF law
enforcement. 1t is safe bet that many
more than a thousand citizens OF Wilkes
will have to bestir themselves before the
reign of law is resumed in Wilkes. The
road of law breaking is broad and on an
easy down-hill grade; but the way back to
law enforcement is a mountain climb over
a rough road. The people of Wilkes will
find it so. If there are enough OF them with
sufficient moral and physical courage to
fight and lick the law breakers, they can
restore their county to its former standing
as a law-abiding section. In the meantime
the county suffers from somebody's failure
to enforce the laws and from the general
indifference and apathy of good citizens
who have become careless about their citi-
zenship obligations. 49,

LAWS DO NOT MAKE CRIMINALS

Some times people are heard railing
against the laws of state or the nation,
saying that certain laws make criminals.
The statement is patiently false. Laws
never make criminals. They never implant
the criminal instinct or impulse, or what
ever it is that impels law-breakers to vic
late the criminal statutes. The man who
violates a criminal statute has, by the act
done, violated the moral law. All crimes
are in violation of moral laws. Murder is
murder and stealing is stealing, regardless
of the civil statutes estimate of these
crimes. If North Carolina repealed the law
against murder, murder would still be muir
der. The statute provided to punish muir
derers does not make men kill.
The country is full of murderers, thieves,
racketeers, gamblers, kidnapers, bootleg
gers and legiOnS OF other classes of law
breakers because these people are pos
sessed by the spirit of their father, the
Devil That is according to the teaching
of the Scriptures; and the man who Is not
willing to accept Scriptural authority ON
that point, will find this statement in &C
cord with the teachings of common sense
and the moral law. Law breakers are con-
trolled by evil instincts, impulses and the
will to do evil. The civil law, or the moral
law, does not make them bad. They are
bad by nature.
Of course, if there were no civil statutes
men could not be adjudged criminals by
that standard; but the moral law would
remain in force and eternal justice would
cry out for the punishment of men who
violated the moral law.
People who rail against the criminal
statutes of the state or country and con-
tend that laws are responsible for crime,
are either law breakers or sympathizers
with law breakers. Laws do not compel
men to the performance of criminal acts.
There is no compulsion to violate the crim-
inal statutes There is not a person IN the
country Idiots and the insane excepted)
who does not know enough to obey all
laws, if that individual wills to be good
and law-abiding citizen. Any person can
obey the laws. 1t is only those of criminal
character and who persist in evil-doing
that break the laws.
The fact that laws exist is not reason
or an excuse for law-breaking. 1t is the prl-
mary reason for obedience to law. This 10
true of the civil statutes as well as the
moral law. People who try to excuse their
own law breaking, or the law violations u
others, by whining that if there were nc
laws they would not violate any laws, have
reached the last degree of imbecility IN
argument.
,4. The laws are not responsible for the evil
deeds of lawless men, in Henderson county
in North Carolina, or in the country. Their
own devilish inchnations and determine
lions are responsible. They break the laws
because they are of criminal character,
have no respect for the laws, and do not
propose to obey them, unless compelled to
do so by organized, law-abiding society.

Col. Roscoe Turner awaited clear

Turner said there was little likeli-

CROPS URGED
BY CAMPBELL

Imperial Valleys agricultural flu
ture lies in the growing of vegetable
oil crops such as flax, soy beans,
peanuts and cotton, in the opinion
of Thomas D. Campbell, agricul-
tural engineer, worlt recognized
farm authority and operator of a
$4,000 acre wheat and flax ranch in
Montana, who was III Ell Centre to-
day.
Campbell suggested flax growing
in the valley when he visited here
few months ago and explained to-
day that further study convinced
him the suggestion was a good one.
He has visited Imperial Valley
many times and today made swift
inspection trip through this section
before departing for the coast,
Campbell is familiar with conditions
here and expressed deep interest in
them.
Better prices for all farm COM
modities are predicted by Camp
bell and he spoke encouragingly of
farm conditions in the United
States. Better prices for farm pro-
ducts, he said mean the beginning
of return to normal times.
The eminent agriculturalist served
as special investigator for the
United States department of inter-
ior during the World war in study
ing available farm lands on Indian
reservations and served as special
advisor and consulting engineer for
the Russian government in 1929
concerning operation of 10,000,000
acres in that country.
He was accompanied to Ell Cen
tro by R. R. Bongard, investment
broker of Toronto, Canada, Glen
Ruby, geologist of Alberta, Canada,
and Ralph Bennitt, consulting en-
gineer of Los Angeles. Bongard is
spending a few weeks in California
with his mother and other relatives.

CITY ATTORNEY
WILL PREPARE
LIQUOR LAWS

With Councilmen Bucklin and
Gianola absent the city council
met yesterday afternoon at o.
clock to consider an ordinance for
the licensing and control of beer
traffic within the city.
No definite action was taken at
this meeting, those present engag-
ing in a discussion of various pha-
ses of the problem. One item which
received special consideration was
the question of how far from a
church or school beer could be
permitted to be sold.
1t was the opinion of the coun-
cilmen at this meeting that, owing
to peculiar circumstances existing
in regard to schools and churches
located very near the business dis
trict of the city, some distinction
would have to be made in regard
to them and that in all probability
the required distance would not be
the same for them as for institu-
tons in the residential parts of the
city.
Dorsey Whitelaw, city attorney,
was instructed to prepare an ordin-
ance covering the whole question
and present it to the council at its
next regular meeting, May 8, when
it will be discussed and put up for
its first reading.
This ordinance will be in accord
with the laws recently passed by
the state legislature and signed by
Governor Rolph with certain local
features permitted by the state le-
giSlation.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Early
final enactment was assured today
for the omnibus initiation farm re-
lief bill in which the senate has
voted President Roosevelt powers
unmatched in modern legislative
history.
The unprecedented measure en-

goes to the house. Senate approval
was given last night by a three to

passed the house as separate bills.
Leaders promised swift action on
the composite bill with the new in
flation section added by the senate.
House and senate will reconvene
Monday after a weekend recess
begun last night.
OF the three sections of this ex-
traordinary bill, two are merely
permissive-farm relief and infla-

down and refinancing farm mort
cages is mandatory. The extent of

JAPAN MAKES
!. 4 TURN ABOUT
Retreat Moves In China Prop
er Reversed And New Advance
Gets Under Way.
BY HERBERT r. EKINS
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

PEIPING, April 20. = The Jap
anese military machine suddenly
reversed itself today, and began re-
occupying strategic positions within
the $50 square mile Luan triangle
of China proper.
Long Japanese columns advanced
behind artillery and airplane bonn
bardment into territory they had
begun evacuating earlier in the
week.
Their objective was obscure, and
foreign military observers could
not understand the sudden switch
in operations. Peiping and Tient-
sin, major cities of Northern China,
throbbed with rumor and report.
Residents feared that this time
japanese capture was unacceptable.
Lieutenant Joseph G. Felber,
commander of the American infan-
try. detachment at Chinwangtao, re-
ported to Colonel Walter s. Drys-
dale in Peiping that retreating Jap
anese infantry, after reaching Shin
menchai pass in the Great Wall,
turned suddenly and after reoccu-
plying Chinwangtao, moved on
toward Tientsin! At last reports the
troops had reached Peitaiho.
Chinwangtao is an important sea
port. Peitaiho is a popular summer
resort for foreigners.
The new advance was accompan-
led by extensive aerial bombings
Hofungto, near Changli, was heav-
ilys bombed. The railroad signal
station was destroyed, ending the
hopes of the management of the
British opening concessions in the
Kailan district for resumption of
railroad traffic to T1entsin.
Reports from the other theater
of action in China proper, the
Nantienmen district south of the
Kapeikou pass in the Great Wall
and north of Peiping, indicated that
the Japanese offensive there con-
tinued unabated, with heavy casu-
altieS. Entrenched Chinese regulars
were putting up a determined de-
tense.
