Failure to Enforce The Law
The Governor's Conference now in session at New
London, Conn., seems to hjr dealing with some of the
very big problems of the day, among them law en
forcement.
The failure to enforce the law and punish crime
of all kinds is undermining the foundations of our
government. We see the jails and penitentiaries be
ing filled now with youth—young flappers and strip
ling boys who got their start on the downward road
almost in the heart of our present-day society.
.t' : . .
First, bad impressions are gained from the unguard
ed home, where many of the principles of virtue are
being neglected. Then, the children go out on their
own hook. in the public places of all kinds, where many
of them are willing to pick up the worst things that
art being said and yield to the baser side of the wild
society that surrounds them on every side.
We regaftf the education of our children as one of
our greatest problems, but it has become to be one
of our greatest tasks to know how to take care of them
while they are being educated.
There was a time when we had a few hardened
criminals called highwaymen They were regarded
as very dangerous and were feared by ajl good citi
zens. but now it is different. The half-breeds from
the hills, valleys, and backwoods are no longer our
fear, but we find the best families too often furnish
ing the girls of shame and the boys of crime.
Our government has no chance to enforce its laws
when we are raising children too wsie to be advised,
too impudent to be -corrected, and 100 good to be
punished They are sent out on the public without
a proper knowledge of obedience to law, and hence
proceed to do as they please. Then the very same
thing happens owr again. When a crime is com
mitted they resist the jwwer of the state just as they
did the power of the home, with the result that they

ment almost impossible.
We have two principal types of crime; those com
mitted for profit and those committed through pas
sion. Our laws are generally more harsh on the
crimes committed through passion than on those com
mitted for gain. Vet there is far more excuse for the
red-blooded man who fights when insulted than for
the lazy fellow who deliberately designs to take the
earnings of a neighbor, who has honestly labored
while the thief slept.
What we need is the certainty of quick punishment,
and in some cases greater punishment. Only about
one out of thirty criminals are caught and tried, ac
cording to figures given out at the governors' con
ference, - «
And too many courts are little more than shrines
of forgiveness.
Gloomy Outlook for the Masses
Hut, with a protectionist in the White House, with
a majority of both branches of Congress listening to
the mafitfcact jrers and other blocs, there is mighty
little hqv of anything being done for the benefit of
the American p.ople. They have no representation
in any branch of the government, while every special
interest hui representation at some strategic point in
the government. The whole nation is being turned
over, lock, stock, and barrel, to the special groups who
will profit by a high protective tariff, while the whole
majority of the people loot the bill. — Durham Herald.
Snake Facts
The many snake stories in the papers these days
reminds one of how little many people really know
about snakes. Of course it is all right for women and
children and city folks not to know anything about
snakes, but when such men our own Mr. C. S.
Brimley, assistant entomologist of the Department
of Agriculture poses as an expert on such things and
broadcasts over the radio he should better acquaint
himself with the subject. Certainly snake stories
amount to little. But to assert a thing is a fact when it
is known not to be a fact too often causes people to
refuse to believe may nthings that are true.
In the long line of snake facts given by Mr. Brim
ley we know of but one error. The entomologist
stated that snakes will not often their mouths to al
low their young to run in to escape danger. He may
be right in saying that no reputable naturalist has
ever witnessed such an occurence. If he will go to
the trouble, >Mr. Brimley can find thousands of back
woodsmen who have seen snakes care for their young
by allowing them to run into their mouths.
Mr. brimley should post himself and find that it
is the habit of all prisonous snakes to care for their
'young in the described manner, ft will be very little
trouble to find a multitude of reputable witnesses
who have seen both the rattle snake and moccasin
receive their young in their mouths in moments of
(tending danger. The non-poisonpus snakes do not
take their young in for protection. They lay eggs and
the young snakes hatch just as turtles, tdrrapins and
birds. The poisonous snakes do not lay eggs.
We have no special interest in snakes, but what we
are interested in is the tjeatment of the victim of
snake bite. The Mexican greaser treats the rattle
snake bite with kerosene and soda. Kerosene alone
has cured dogs bitten by snakes in this county and it'
is one of the simplest remedies known.

The month of July once more is here.
'1 o mc the saddest of the year.
Because one year ago today
My darling mother was taken away.
I grieve for her in silence.
No eye can see me weep,
But many a tear is shed
While others are asleep.
The flowers we place upon her grave
Will wither and decay.
But our love for her, who sleeps be
neath
Will never fade away.
Dearest mother, how we miss you.
How *ye miss you more and more,
But we hope to meet in heaven,
On that bright and golden shore.
Sleep on, dear mother,
Sleep on and take thy rest:- / -

But we know He loved you best.
