J'huIiii One Law For All OFFICE CAT TRAOC MAflK BY JUNIUS Notice of Final Settlement. Notice in hcrehv irlven that the undersigned nan filed his final ac-1 count ax executor of the estate ot William V' Carbine, deceased, in the County Court of the State of Ore iron for Union County, and that the said court has fixed Wednesday, the Kith day of August, 1923, at 10:00 o'clock a. m. on the said day, at the courwiuu.-c in ill" eiiy ui ua umiiuc, Union County, ureiron, as the time and place for hearing and proving said final account anil for rinat set tlement of said estate. Dated July 10, KKANCIS HI CARBINE, Executor of the Estate of William V. Carbine, deceased. July 10-23-30; Aug- 6-13. m An eminent jurist recently remarked: "If men in all walks of life endeavored to obey law rather than evade law the courts would have very much less to do; fuilheimore, if every man real ized that law is for him as well as for the other fellow fewer would get into courts; every good citizen must conduct himself on the fundamental principle that law is for all:" This remark is perti nent to conditions existing today. .Note, in the first place, that this jurist included "men in all walks of life," that is, men educated and uneducated, rich and poor. Noting this, regard the responsibility of the educated to set proper example to the. uneducated or the rieh to provide example to the poor. Such responsibility certainly cannot be discharged by the educated and rich if they arrogate to themselves rights and privil eges which the law gives, to no one, and assumption of which must mislead the uneducated and the poor. If they assume rights and privileges why should not others do so; and if in exercising them they ignore law'ivhy pihould not others ignore it? K '-i ' Consider, in the second place,, the jurist's Intimation IhapJnen do not endeavor to oley law souch' as they study to evilde it. True, the statement is introduced by "if" but its intent and mean Mug are unmistakable, and its criticism just. Legal practice today is largely advice and direction as to how to remain within the law and yet avoid its limitations and restrictions.. Legislatures feel compelled to multiply limitations and restrictions. Laws and more laws is the order of the day, yet with little or no result in chang ing attitude toward law. There is simply'greater effort to evade law. In the third place, the jurist gave some men the benefit of the doubt when he said that "if every man realized that law is for him as well as. the other fellow." Undoubtedly, there are amijng the uneducated and unfortunate a great many men who reason that because of ignorance they are, to some extent at least, exempt, yet "ignorance of law is no excuse for violation of law ;" and, perhaps1, there are men who think that necessity justifies the nieahs.'yei, - while it may excuse, it cannot justify, for there is only in rare instances justification for wrong. What the jurist meant is that if every man would see the "other fellow" in himself he would ap j'eciate that under law there can lie no discrimination. '.' :, Finally, the jurist's concluding observation is a statement of ,fact. The man who stays just within the law can claim no merit, moral or other, as his purpose is antagonistic to the law. lie may he a worse social asset than the man who deliberately violates the law for his character may appear approvable but really be open to question, while the latter is known for what he is.' Assuredly lie is a. worse asset than the man who through ignorance or neces sity breaks the law. Neither of the three may be good citizens, for the measure of citizenship is not only observance 'of law but also support of law. Why, ofie may ask, is the jurist's remark pertinent to condi tions existing today? There never has been a time when law ob servance was at a lower ebb than now. There were never more forces at work to evade the law than there are today. There was never a lower social morale than obtains in all sections of the coun- try. On the other hand, there were nevei' more measures presented in legislatures further to limit and restrict than during sessions just closed. Yet, there was never less prospect of successful en forcement' of old and new law, because of low ebb of observance, the extent of evasion and lower social morale. Men are blind to obligations or have not the courage to meet them, are careless of dtitv ot- have no Incentive to perforin it. The world is headed to ward trouble, for it is inviting all the isms and schisms that ratth: brains can cogitate. , ". The jurist above quoted is right when he says that more laws arc not needed, rather observance and support of the laws already on the books such as may be inspired by the words "One law for all." This1 is the key that will unlock the gates of prejudice, greed and arrogance and let through them the light of fairness, gener osity, and equality, for under the law all men must have the same lights, privileges and perogatives and these must be exercised ac cording to law. When this eventuates there will be conditions, so cial, political and others, which will make virtue of necessity; that is, which will render respect for law a positive element of Individ ual character. The fountain never rises higher than its source. The people an the source of social, moral, political, and financial conditions. Let the people elevate themselves, which they will do by insisting there is but "one law for all." -.lewcll-y Halo Notes- .
