Miss Hazel Brannon,
Lexington, Miss.
Dear Miss Brannon:
More power to you. Heaven help
you in your crusade against those
crooks who pose as law enforcement
officers and are protected by dis
honest courts.
There are many more of us in this
great U S. A., who like this Honor
able? Judge, Admire Your Spunk."
There are so few Editors of today
who try to expose the vicious
Haunting of our laws and the dis
honest Judges and officers that an
item of news such as was carried
IN p. NJ, 1929, is outstanding,
especially SO when it is a Lady
crusader.
Davis Il won't call him judge GER
tainly indicts himself when he says,
$50 few of Us pure are left"
You should have given him an
uppercut TO the jaw and a straight
right and left to each eye for giving
you such a dirty slur.
We have many such drinking
gambling joints here in our cities

TIDELAND SUIT
REPLY IS FILED

California's answer to the Federal
tidelands suit, filed with the u. S.
Supreme Court, is one of the most
comprehensive documents ever sub
nitted to the court. The state has
asked for the appointment of a
master to take the evidence and
make recommendations. If this Is
done, legal experts believe the suit
may languish in the Supreme Court
for two or three years.
