Do you eall a man a 100 per cent American citizen when he wants to break the laws himself but wants others to obey them? This is the kind of man who cried for war, but neither he nor his son wanted to go to war. He wants to break the ed law but thinks others should drive carefully. He wants to bay a drink for himself but is not willing to have a boot- legger sell. booze to’ his ‘son. many men say in effect, ‘I want to be a law unto myself’ These men cuss the grafters, and break the law by smoking in public dining while they are cussing’ the lat breaker, Do you call a.man a good citizen when he claims he wants the law enforced but he refuses to make a2 complaint against a man he knows is violating the laws and also refuses. to be a witness against him?

Then why whould we not use all our influence to enforce the law we helped to make? A'Partnership Deal “I believe that law observance and law enforcement is a partnership deal to be carried out by the officers and citizens of a community. Aw [ not right when I say that. Bismarck, |: the capital city of the state, ought to set the example in law observance and law enforcement? This is where most of the lawa are enacted and where most of the officials lie and it seems to me that law obser- vance and law enforcement’ ought to be found here more than any- where else in the state. Several men, who are in a position to know, have told me that it is harder to get a conviction against 1: reakers, es- pecially the violators of the Vol- stead here in Bismarck than in some of the larger cities in our state. Will somecne please explain why this is true? Some over zealous Bis- marckite may contradict this but my information comes from men who know. It is the duty of all good men and women to help create an atmos- phere of law observance in the city and county.” Mr. Holmes closed his sermon by applying the demands of God’s law to everyone and, by many apt illus- trations, showed how there was no evasion of God’s law as revealed in the Word of God. He called atten- law. observance | tion to how the spirit of ignoring all kinds of law is prevalent today. The law in the land we love, the law in the home, and also in the school room, are problems that baffle the minds of those who stand for law comer and law enforcement, he said.
