If a condition could be reached wherein all held the laws In complete rever ence. Ideal government would be at tainable. That would result In uni versal enforcement, and universal obedience, which In turn would force repeal of bad laws and establish the authority of good ones." , . On the other band, disrespect for the law, disregard for It and dis obedience to it,, are fatal to those beneficent ends that laws ara en acted to serve. It brings them Into dlBrepute and contempt. It Invites unlawful acts, and promotes demor alisation of administrative process. It brings injustice to the good cltl xen who observes the law anyway, because It permits the . vicious to prey upon him by overriding the law. ..-'V:'-'.:.'.,:'-.-'-''-'v; v'.v t When the Southern.

By the act, an example Is set la dis obedience ' " that ' unquestionably teaches the Individual to lose his re-! apect for the law and ita authority. The corporation, la bound In honor and by public pledge to sell Its granted lands to actual settlers at not more than 12.50 per acre. It Is not mly, thus bound, but it is re quired under ' the 'mandate of the statute, to so sell these lands; but we have the publle and notorious spectacle of the law defied, the land withheld, aettlement of the country retarded, and, what is greater and most wicked of all, constituted au thority - spurned , and scorned. It will be a - mockery , of Justice, travesty on public order, " and wicked and demoralising example before the people. of the state, as well aa an unpardonable sacrifice of their Interests,' If somehow, . or In some way, this ' corporation is not brought to the bar, of Justice and made to obey the "law of the land, which the . Individual, .under every circumstance, IS forced to do. ' ' . If the corporation cannot be made to obey the law. why shall the indl vidua! obey it T v If the corporation is prlviliged to engage In deliberate outlawry, why shall we not all kick over the laws,' become anarchists, and go back to primitive chaos?

But this alone will go only a abort way to supply the constantly and rapidly Increasing demand for cars.
