J RESPECT FOR THE LA.W %
J *
**************************
Mob rule means total disrespect 1'or
the law. Lynch law is but another
name for anarchy. When passions
let loose in the form of a mob goes
forth to conquor, the bars of the law
.are let down by ruthless hands and
the things we stand for are trampled
tinder foot.
It is a sad thing: when men refuse
to lead lives of respectability. It may
be impossible for the law to ;-tep in
for a time on account of the lack of
proof. When any man, or any particular
set of men, no matter how constituted
by private authority, undertake
to ripht the wrongs which apparently
exist, this act in itself is
just as much a violation of the law
as what the suspected may have
done. There is this preat difference:
That in the one case there is doubt
of jruilt, maybe, while in the latter
instance of violation there is no doubt
of ?uilt.
So long as we wish to live under
the protection of the laws, just that
long: must we respect the law and live
within the institutions of the law.
We cannot serve two masters in this
matter. Either we must live with
the law or we must live without it.

in what they undertake to do; but
can they carry out their designs in
violation of the laws of the lind, and
still claim that their intentions are.
good ? It would seem impossible.
Again, the law is of most use to
those who will use it. Conditions in
many communities in this country
right now could be remedied if the
citizens whose rights are violated
would but take steps to have the law
put into force. When the better element
in any community decide that
the law shall take its course .and that
<rertain evil practices shall be stopped
there is begun a force that usually
results in relief.
The crime of adultery is allowed to
go on many times within the plain
view of men and women who are disgusted
at it. even shocked at it, and
yet they will allow the bad example
-to go on before their boys and girls
without ever prosecuting the parties,
because they say they do not want to
have anything to do with such conditions
and feel a great delicacy
about being put down as prosecutors.
The better class of men and women
who are living right and want their
children to live after them in the
same wav must lay aside such feelings.
and see that the laws are enflbrced.
even hv hecoming prosecutors
themselves. The law must triumph
and not the disregard of the law.
Those who win1.- at bad conditions
and allow them to continue to exist
are taken ,as favoring such conditions
and it forms a sort of encouragement
to violators of the law. If a man believes
in the rirht and wants the
right to prevail he must not hesitate
to let the wV>ole world know on which
side he stands.
The man wh^? >s opposed to prohibition
and vet will buy a quart of
whiskey that he knows has been made
contrary to mw. is certainly winking
at the violation of the law. and he
should not do it. no, not even under
^ the guise of claiming that he needs
it for a sick wife.

WASHINGTON COMMENT
The Ku Klux Klan is avowedly a
Protestant organization. As such it
is anathema to the Catholic Church.
Because of the regalia worn by the
Klan, it is perfectly possible for men
who are not Klansmen, to wear a
similar regalia, and thus thrust upon
the Klan the blame for unlawful acts
done by hooded men.
Without full and complete evidence
it is not possible intelligently to discuss
the claim made that, the Klan
has interfered 'with or "dominated"
the sovereign State of Lo'iisana. No
such evidence is being presented.
Various unlawful acts have at times
been done by hooded men. Opponents
of the Klan charge that all such acts
are done by Ku Klux Klansmen. The
Klan denies that such acts are done
by authority and consent of the r?der.
Defenders of the Klan say that it
is no more reasonable to say that all
crimes committed by men who wear
a white hood and mask are committed
by Klansmen .than it is to charee that
all thefts commited by masked burer
lars are the work of society prentlewho
wear masks at a masked
hall.
There is much discussion, pro and
con, goinp on in Congress regarding:
the charges and the countercharges
about the Klan. The wise heads in
Congress holdinp the radical element
in check, agree that if the Klan does
t.b.ut which is un-American and unlawful,
the Klan should, and will, he
punished. But until it is proved that
un-American and unlawful acts done
in the recalia of the Klan are, in fact
done by the Klan, the Klan deserves
the same treatment accorded any accused
under our system of jurisprudence;
it is innocent until proved
truilty. All the thundcrings of jesuitical
mouthinprs, all the priestly protests,
and all the intolerant fanacicism
of the Church which is its enemy,
can not make it otherwise. It is evidence,
not opinion, which must indict,
and a court of law, not priestly
excommunication, which must convict.

BRIDEGROOM SAILS AWAY ON
HONEYMOON BY HIMSELF
Purser W. E. Miller, of the Steamship
President Harding, of the United
States Lines recently sailed from
New York for Europe on his honeymoon.
The bride who became his on
sailing- day remained in New York to
await the return, a month distant, of
her husband. Thf? bride was at the
pier to wish bon voyage to the bridegroom,
and the hundreds of visitors
and the large crowd of passengers
were quickly made aware of the
strange situation.
Purser Miller was twitted by his
brother officers, and he admitted that
he was reluctant to go on his honeymoon
without a bride, but that it
could not be otherwise under the rules
of the sea, which prohibit an officer
on duty from having his wife on
board. He will celebrate his honev*noon
on the return of the President
Harding from Germany.
The marriage of Purser Miller and
Katheryn Collins is the outcome of a
war-time romance. During the war
days, Miller, a lieutenant in the Navy,
and engaged in transport duty, was
running between France and Newport
News, Va. The bride of today
was stationed at Langley Field, nearbv
to Newport News, in the capacity
of a war nurse. Lieut. Miller, during
a visit to Langley Field, met Miss
Collins, and a friendship developed.
Miller entered the Merchant Merine
service as a purser, and, despite his
olTorts to locate Miss Collins, he was
unable to do so.
One day, to the amazement of Miller,
Miss Collins came aboard the
President Harding, she had been
signed as a nurse for the vessel. The
friendship which had broken up after
the dark days of the war was again
renewed, and shortly after Miss Collins
had made a round trip on the
Harding, her engagement was announced.
Miss Collins ,since her war
service, has been the head surgical
nurse of the Bronx Hospital, in New
York.
It takes about a month for one of
the United States to make the round
trip from New YorV to Bremen. ????d
ro it will be that Miller will see his
bride for a few days at t.ie end of
every month. Speaking .?f t.hi i the
I blushing bridegroom remarked:
"Well, we will have a honeymoon
every month, which is more than most
folk have."

HIGH EXPLOSIVE

. I
Raleigh.?Criticism of the New
Bern fire department and statement
that many high explosives were found
in negro houses and seven were
found in a negro church was made in
the state insurance department's report
on last week's disastrous fire at
New Bern, issued here today.
The city fire department arrived at
the scene of the conflagration only to
find it had not brought a nozzle and
after that had been brought discovered
it was without a wrench, said the
report, which was made by W. A.
Scott, deputy commissioner of the
commission, who had been at New
Bern investigating the situation.

While stating- that both the Rowland
Lumber company fire and the
fire that swept forty city blicks,
chiefly in the negro section, was accidental,
the report stated, "a strange
incident of the fire noted by Captain
Scott was the finding of many high
explosives in the negro houses and
even in their churches." The report
said there was one fatality, that of
an old negro woman, burned to death
placed the total loss at $2,550, and
stated that one thousand and five
hundred dwellings were destroyed
throughout an area of forty blocks,
leaving six thousand persons, chiefly
negroes, homeless. The lumber
plant's loss was estimated at $00,000.

*500 000 it cpvnV'i n blanket insurance

The 1 in the big fire was placed I
at $2,250,000, with only 35,000 of insurance.
Most of the residences destroyed
were those of negroes.
The lumber fire was caused by
friction in a hot box and the city fire
fram a shingle roof catching fire from
a chimney spark, Captain Scott's report
stated. The lumber company
plant was outside the corporote limits
and had no standard coupling, added
the report, which recommended a law
requiring fire systems to have standard
couplings.

WILL PROBATE WILL
One of the executors of the will of
the late J. J. Williams was in Conway
some days ago for the purpose of
having the will probated. This will
donates the entire estate of Mr. Williams
to charitable purposes .and none
of his relatives get anything; under its
provisions.
The will, as published recently, gave
a life estate to his wife, but she predeceased
husband so that an effort
will be made to turn the whole
estate into the religious purposes
mentioned in the will.
