State and sets all law at defiance. It is impossible to avoid moral degeneration and disregard of all law in any community which is guilty of lynching. The Jeffersonian is not unmindful of the reasons given when men, goaded to desperation, take the law into their own hands— and hang a human fiend whose evil deed has stirred the passion of man's nature. Nevertheless, lynch law does not accomplish the purpose for which it was intended, and by reason of the very fact that it is a violation of law necessarily sows the seed of increased lawlessness. Yet, we have more respect, if such a term can be used under such conditions, for the members of a mob who, without disguise lynch a criminal, than we have for a hooded mob who take other men out and beat them up on the plea that they have been guilty of some immorality. One of the serious menaces to this country is the spread of the spirit which seeks by illegal means, to accomplish its purpose, even though it claims that its purpose is the upholding of morality. Anonymity has always been the cloak of the coward. The anonymous letter is penned by a man or woman, too cowardly to be known. The anonymity which 'hides behind a hooded disguise to commit an illegal act, even for an alleged good purpose, is necessarily an expression of cowardice. Any organization which requires its members to be disguised, which swears them to follow the directions of its officials, and swears them to uphold the constitution of the country while committing illegal acts, is swearing them to commit perjury, for no man can uphold the Constitution while doing evil, hoping that good may come. The disregard for law, the actual violation of, or breaking of law, merely to gratify one's appetite or pleasure to have his own way despite the law, is the greatest menace to the Government, and the preservation of our Constitution. working directly in co-operation with the bootlegger, and not only for the general violation of law, but for breaking down the obedience to all law. Nothing can change this fact. It is not a question of whether or not one is in favor of prohibition, but the question simply defines itself down to whether or not you are in favor of .law and order or crime running rampant. The time has come when the greater percentage of the decent thinking people must give voice to their determination that the criminal element shall not rule; that criminals shall be punished; that men of affairs shall not say that because crime is running unbridled, laws against crime must be repealed. Let us not for a moment imagine that such a dire result is impossible. We have boasted that our government is so strong, our system of government so superb, that we cannot go down in ruin; but all through human history many things which were once regarded as impossible, have become realities. Today we are facing greater issues, and even greater dangers than during the Civil War or the European War, because the danger which confronts us is a breaking down of the moral tone of the country, a disregard for law of God and man, and the development of a weakness that prevents us from taking any part in an aggressive fight for national salvation from the law-breaker. The law-breaker must be punished regardless of the power of social or1 financial influence. What does the bootlegger care for a fine of a few hundred dollars out of the tens of thousands he makes? A short prison term does not frighten nor mortify him; yea, all that he cares for is money. If every bootlegger, as maker or dealer, were fined the full amount of every dollar he made, and in addition was put to hard labor in prison, an end to th etraffic would soon be seen. The buyer of moment after the angel brings him. Instead of only one or two cars during infancy, he must be made to consume a dozen or so. The abolition of the minimum age requirement for licenses is a detail that can be easily arranged. We suggest, therefore, the slogan, "Buy a Car for Baby." All grades of-car can join in, since nothing less than a Rolls-Royce will do for the first child, whereas the fourth will be an excellent prospect for a Ford runabout. It will be necessary, of course, to accompany such a campaign with a powerful propaganda against birth control. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS William H.

The bolshevistic doctrine, openly bootleg whisky is on exactly the One hundred and fifty years ago William Pitt, the great English statistician, said: "Where law ends, there tyranny begins." Today is may be said that where disobedience to law grows apace, as it is doing in this country, there civilization is endangered and will go down in ruins, unless the nation awakens to the call of the hour and enforces law obedience. Yea, the observance of law and order is one of the supreme tests of a nation's right to live—without obedience to law there can be no permanent civilization. To a great degree we have become a very lawless people. This is not a new thing and it is not due to prohibition, but hag been grdwing for many years with increasing intensity. Even Abraham Lincoln, in his day, warned us against national suicide by disregarding the law, and in discussing the subject said: "As a nation of free men we must live through all time or die by suicide. I hope I am over wary; but, if I am not, there is even now something of ill omen among us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country—i the growing disposition to substitue Wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgment of the Courts, and the worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice." In the contemplation of our boasted liberties we have sown the seed of disregard for law and have turned liberty into license. With an exaggerated idea as to individuality, we have practiced, and to some extent, preached that every man must be a law unto himself and have the individual right to settle quarrels by illegal methods instead of by legal ways. The man who has felt aggrieved at. what he thought . "' proclaimed in printed literature and widely disseminated, says: "To hell with all churches and all governments." The acts of thousands of supposed reputable men, acts which speak louder than words of the bol-shevists, say: "To hell with all laws which do not coincide with our personal desires or views." These are the men who are teaching our youngsters that it is a noble thing to violate statutes and moral laws alike. One man disregards the speed law enacted for the safety of the public and this encourages some other fellow to violate some other law. Another operates an automobile while under the influence of liquor, despite the law to the contrary, and so it goes another violates the prohibition law, on the ground, perhaps, of "personal liberty." No man has personal liberty" in driving an automobile to disregard the "stop" signal of the traffic cop. Th§ law which says he must obey the traffic cop takes from him bis personal "liberty, and yet no one presumes to demand personal liberty to disregard the traffic cop. Civilization can exist only upon the yielding of what some might claim as "personal liberty" for the benefit of the community, for without the observance of law, civilization cannot live. No man who violates the Eighteenth Amendment, which is a part of the Constitution of the United States, has any right to expect his children to be moral and honest, because when he sets one law at defiance he teaches them to set all laws at defiance, The chap who violates the Volstead Act because it does not suit him has no right to complain if his example teaches the anarchist, the bolshevist or the murderer to dynamite his home or to destroy his family; for in proportion that his social or business standing exceeds theirs, his lawlessness exceeds in influence for their evil. The bootlegger is a criminal who never hesitates to murder when one stands in his path; but the bootleg industry could not live if so-called reputable men did not buy its "fire water." The purchaser of bootleg whisky Is giving his approval and financial endorsement to the bootleggers work and thereby becomes responsible for every act of the boot-er. Every man who buys or same plane as the "fence" or receiver of stolen goods, and should be punished for aiding and abetting the violators of the law. The man who, while drunk runs an automobile, should be given a long term in jail, his license forfeited and never reissued until he has taken a most binding oath of abstinence from all intoxicating liquors. Why should the lives of sober people be endangered by cars driven by drunken men? The man or men who take out and beat other men on the ground of alleged immorality, should be hunted down and severely punished as violators of law. The fight for law and order demands even more courage, more heroic work and more untiring zeal than was thrown Into the World War, for it is a fight to save our country from: domination by the most unscrupulous criminal element, which ever cursed any land in modern times except perhaps Russia.

There is not a bit of doubt, but that some grade crossings in Baltimore County are dangerous. The question of elimination has been considered by representatives of carriers and commissions for the past 25 years. Numerous recommendations have been made and a large number of different mechanical devices invented with a view to making grade crossings safe. The actual elimination of such crossings would cost thousands of dollars and they all cannot be removed during the life time of citizens living now. Although the subject has been of prime interest, no definite agreement has been reached by the railroads, the Public Service Commission or local municipal officials for either the protection or elimination of crossings, and today the subject is more acute by reason of the large and increasingly growing use of the automobile. In the opipnion of The Jeffersonian, the time has come for the consideration of this subject at a national conference, consisting of representatives of the railroads, Governors, highway commissions, automobile associations and municipal officials, but surely something must be done and done quickly to eliminate the dangers of the grade crossings. AUTOMOBILLIONS. The years 1923 has seen the manufacture in the United States of 4,-000,000 automobiles. To a layman this unbelievable number of new cars, on top of the unbelievable number already in use, can mean only one thing—the manufacturers and dealers have reason to believe that after every family in the country lynching people—and often „«. and in their work> kill one who in fiendisn cruelty. Regardless of how j terferes with them—the man who j has purchased a car, which is very great may be the criminality of the did the actual killing is the murder-, nearly the case today, they can be- man lynched, and how thoroughly er, but the man who helped him, is he may deserve capital punishment, morally, equally as guilty even if mob which lynches him commits the law does not punish him to the jr crime than his, for if same degree.
