A straddling mouthy resolution,

while covertly commending Oov,

In reality discrediting our court

The People Now On Trial
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S remarks accompanying the re-
peal of the 18th amendment are brief but very much to the
point.
He urgei the people to scrupulously observe the laws regard
ing liquor in their respective states purchase liquor only as the
law provides and as individuals do everything in their power
to advance the cause of temperance.
We hope this advice will be followed. It certainly should be.
As has been previously pointed out there can be no PERFECT
system of liquor control. No matter what the final system
adopted in this state, there will be objections to it, and imper
fections in it.
But once that system is incorporated into law, there is only
ONE COURSE for the good citizen to pursue, namely to ob
serve the letter and the spirit of the law, just as long as the
measure remains on the statute books.
There will be another inescapable duty, to stand behind the
law enforcement agencies in enforcing the law, against all of
its violators, WHOEVER THEY MAT BE.
This is the obligation of no one individual, no one depart
ment of the government, it is a universal obligation, resting
ujon the shoulders of every man and woman in this community
and in the stt.
'JMO matter what the final system may be, it will be a success
" if the 'people get behind it, and scrupulously observe it.
For such action will gradually reveal whatever defects the mea
sure may possess, and with the support of publio opinion, they
can from time to time be corrected, and a more satisfactory
system be ultimately evolved.
But if those who don't like certain features of the new sys
tem, insist upon disregarding it, and because of the acquiescence
or indifference of the people, the enforcement officials, let such
violations go by default, then not only will that system fail, but
any substitute will fail.
Conditions instead of getting better will get worse. And the
only outcome will be a return of absolute prohibition, which
will take us right back where we started from.
For that dismal failure, the people, who were given their
chance to secure a better solution of the liquor problem, than
absolute prohibition provided, will have only themselves to
blame I

: one house and promises to pass another,
j This is a step in the right direction. The measure making it
I Impossible for any member of a jury, to determine the verdict
or that jury, by holding out against the others, is also up for
consideration, and should be passed.
We live under a government of majority rule. There is no
reason why one member of a jury, should be given the power,
to overturn thesverdiot of the other eleven. Moreover in actual
practice, this provision has greatly enoouraged corruption and
jury fixing, with the criminal lawyers having only one member
of the jury to reaoh.
Providing a majority of 10 instead of 11 will not stop jury
fixing of course, but it would render the job just twice as hard.
This is SOMETHING, and therefore ANOTHER step in the
right direction.
TTHE entire criminal code and procedure should be radically
revised, and the legal profession should do it, but in spite
of many resolutions passed and promises made, nothing definite
has been done. It doesn't look as though anything would be.
So the only way out appears to be for the people to do the
job THEMSELVES, through their legislatures, PIECE MEAL,
being oontent to make progress, slowly, but never abandoning
the determination to so reform and improve our courts, that
they will no longer be a haven for the crook and outlaw, and a
disgrace to our civilization.

Oovernor Rolph aay th lynchers

Yet the governor's conduct during

He haa pardoned criminal by the

He haa sought every available ex-

He has reprieved Jack Oreen T or

Oreen and a companion committed
an atroclou crime In Lo Angel
and th companion paid th penalty.
But th governor haa stopped
Oreen' hanging because Oreen did
not fir th actual shot.
Tet the law and the court have
pronounced Oreen equally guilty.
They have sentenced Oreen to hang.

A men breathes from fifteen to

breathe any more
at all. But It Isn't
worth whUe stop

WeU, now, you almanac-educated
folks will not understand this, but
I'm telling you and no physician or
physiologist or health authority will
venture to contradict the assertion,
that Wie action of the bowel la aa
automatically controlled or regulated
as la the breathing. From long ex
perience I know that not more than
one or two In a hundred who read
this will succeed in grasping the
solid scientific truth of the assertion.
The rest will frown, smile knowingly
and wonder what kind of man Ol'
Doc Brady Is, or whether there really
la such a person. ,
While there are millions of Indi
viduals who devote a good deal of
thought and anxiety to the "regula
tion of the bowels" and never permit
more than a few hours or a tew day
delay to occur without resorting to
some more or less violent physic,
medicine or enema; on the other
band, there are millions of Individ
uals who are aa Indifferent and un
concerned about the action of the
bowela aa they are about the action
of the heart or lungs, and they never
use any aperient or other artificial
aid. Of the two classes, the latter
are Invariably the healthier and hap
pier. I grant you that this health
and happiness, this oheerful frame
of mind, la in itself conducive to
normal functioning of the bowels
and the lungs; and the anxiety and
morbid Introspection of the former
else tends to derange or Impair these
automatic Internal functions.
Liver pills, so-called, were the
greatest "repeaters" the nostrum and
quackery world knew up to the
dawn of the glorious era of "Rus
sian" oil, "Bulgarian" bacilli, "Japan
ese" seaweed and "Persian" birdseed.
Every little dose of any of these nos
truma added to what ailed you made
you feel you needed more of the

In the physio business Is to get cus

Horrors I
CHE DOES.
u it Is the story of the Angeleno
who coveted San Francisco bay, and
ssld to a San Franciscan: "If Los
Angeles hsd your bay, ahe'd be the
biggest city in America," and he ans
wered: "Well, If Los Angeles could
suck as hard as she can blow she'd
soon have the bay."
THE first hundred times one hears
that story. It's pretty good- It
Isn't even so bad the second hun
dred times. But after you've heard
It two or three THOUSAND times, It
sure does get wearing.

ther. Harry Payer, former assistant
state secretary, is handling the Rus
sia trade credits In the RFC. He was
Prof. Moley's friend and left the state
department to find more congenial
company. Senator Glass has some
sharp views about the administration
henchmen who are running around
shouting against Sprague, Smith, Ba
ruch. et al. They were contained in
tn unsigned editorial In his Lynch
burg. Va., newspaper (The News) on
November 20. Concerning General
Johnson, the editorial said: "Being
a thunderer. he thunders, and being
somewhat addicted to blustering, he
blusters." A debate between Glass
and Johnson would be worth listen
ing to. Readers of the Swanson and
MaoAxthur reports on the army and
navy should remember that the ad
mirals and the generals always be
lieve the services are rotting away.
That Is the way to get more appropri
ations out of congress.

Ye Poet's Cornei
As a Man Thlnketh.
Our thoughts have made us what we
are;
They oft ennoble, can also mar.
The fruits of thought we can enjoy;
They also have power to destroy.
Man Is master of the mind.
Where thoughts take shape of every
kind;
Thoughts mould character, good and
bad;
We have the choice to be glad or
sad.
A noble character can't be bought
Are results of inner noble thoughts.
Dishonest thoughts, they seldom fail
To land such thinker into Jail.
Within ourselves we possess the law,
For good or bad results can draw
No such thing as good luck or bad
Depends on kind of thoughts we
paid.
Man's mind Is like a fertile field:
What we sow, that It will yield;
Left fallow, weeds will grow In soil,
To raise crops requires constant toll.
By abuse and wrongful thought,
Below level of beast man Is brought,
Man is master of his good destiny.
If they but use the rightful key.
