FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1927 ONLY REAPING WHAT HAS BEEN SOWN A jury In Hamilton county reported that George Remus shot his wife while Insane after sitting on the case for five weeka and hearing the defendant, as his own attorney, defend himself It was a most unusual case. The result was nothing more than what thousands of persons who followed the case predicted, , But to read editorial and newspaper comment now the public is all excited over the result*1 It is termed a miscarriage o f justice and branded one of the most unreasonable verdicts, in the history of murder cases in this or any other state, Public sentiment from the start in the citijes was largely in behalf of Remus, probably as he was. looked /upon as the ‘’King of Boot­ leggers.” 'Another man was brought into the case as having f rofrbed Remus of his wife’s effections as well as thousands of dollars worth of liquor permits. The whole case'had a nasty tinge all through it and by the usual legal procedure Remus, being his own attorney, was able to conduct his side of the case about as he desired. The court room resembled a theatrical stage more than a house where justice was supposed to pre- ^ ^ ’N qw that Remus has been found insane regardless of the fact that three alienists said not,.he must, appear in probate court to prove he is sane. To do this he will use the testimony of the three alienists from the-former trial. The state must now find two or three alienists who will say that Remus is insane that he may be committed to a state institution. This brings up a new angle and no doubt will complicate matters ae one set. of alienists will say he is sane and .another that he is Insane. The public cannot expect to have confidence in this kind of procedure. • ‘ . , „ ‘ , . The bar associations We notice Will investigate the method used in the Remus trial. Little can come of that, The trouble is our laws are written by attorneys to be used' by attorneys. Loop holes left here and there that they may be Used for and against. Had we more laws' with stringent provisions to hold the lawless and not so much inspection and regulation of the law abiding citizens of the state, we might not have the situa­ tion as it existsLoIlowing the Remus trial* There hap been so much legislation effecting the law abiding citizenship that public sentiment is. scornful of much legislation. For this rea­ son :the lawlass element can get away with most anything— even murder. CANNOT RUSH THE PUBLIC " , For .several'weeks Uncle Sam urged 'citizens to mail their * Christmasr packages early. This not only would lighten the load the few days before Christmas, but woufd insure an early and prompt delivery of Christmas mail. Some of course fol­ lowed this .request but the great majority put it off until the last week. ' 1 , Different commercial .organizations campaigned for an , early shopping this year. But from- reports this was not as effectiye as in former years for the three days previous to Christmas were1 the,’peek days in trUde/ The public evidently was not ready to purchase until ,that time, - ’ i / Automobile clubs, Secretary of State Clarence Brown, and county officials have urged motorists to purchase their license , tags early; Warning was given that no extension of time-would be granted.' There are plenty of tags and the dead line is set for midnight December 31 for use of the 1927 tags. *■ Reports from every section of the -state indicate that the , sale of license tags has been slow* and, the motor public was taking its good natured time. This means of course a last minute rush; , Imsoine counties there are not enough Hours in a week that would permit the issuance of the required number of tags before January 1st. - If the motor public will not heed the advice it must1put up With the ^convenience.. It can leave the gasoline chariot In the garage until such time as tags can be secured. But the o' fellows that do hot heed the advice have no reason to com­ plain if they venture out with an old tag and face some magis­ trate, thus making double cost for the 1928 tag. NEW THEORIES FOR CRIME SUPPRESSION Much is being written on the suppression of crime but few writers fail to*recognize two ^things:—Swift and effective punishment for the criminal. In a recent survey made in one city we find that only one offender is punished out of every 75 felonies committed. With such a situation What else can the public expect? public life and property are constantly in danger and the worst of it is that the criminal class is no longer‘confined to the hard-boiied repeater, but to.the younger class that will take more chances and seem to be more daring. This younger criminal element has no value, on human life. In a neighboring city some five, or six policemen have been shot down this present year.1 With such, a record it can be seen that the life of the ordinary citizen has little value. It Was only a few years ago that one private officer shot down a fellow officer in the public square in this county . The history of that case has not been forgotten and some things that went with it. Today we understand the offender, who was given a life sentence, is seeking a parole. T his will not be granted unless the presiding judge at the time of the trial and the prosecuting attorney approve it. In a: neighboring county, a county official and his deputy, plead guilty to serious charges. 'Neither are paying the price for violation of their oaths of office other that facing a Scornful public. A city policeman entered a place on his route and stole a typewriter, He is serving a 30 day term in the county jail. Much of the criticism of today in regard to law enforce­ ment is due to the fact that just such cases as mentioned above are not handled in strict compliance with the law. There is too much favoritism shown where officials go wrong. The official that violates his oath is more deserving of a heavy sen­ tence than the average first4imer that may be in the toils of the law, , Swift and effective punishment for the criminal and less ’ legal procedure will do more to clear the situation than Any­ thing yet suggested. r esaaiite- HAVE YOU BEEF THINKING— ■ . • / I f not yon will when Jack Frost comes.

In the 01C Testament Is set forth an august portrait of Jesus Christ, He Is the Branch, the King (Jer. 23:5); the Branch, the Servant (Zech. 3 ;8); the Branch, the Man CZech,'.8:1”)! the Branch of the Lord {Isa. 4:2), • The fourfold account In the Npw Testament called the Gospels, placed alongside of the Old Testament pre­ dictions, fits exactly. Matthew pre­ sents Him as the King; Mark, the Servant of the Lord; Luke a$ the. Kinsman Redeemer and John as the*; Son of God." The theme of Mark is; the gospel of Jesus Christ,, the Son .off God (ch. 1:1). The word gospel means j ’’good news.” Jesus means “Savior,”.^ Christ means “Anointed.” It' Is good, uews therefore because it .Is the good-, tidings that God lvas anointed Jesus , Christ to be the Savior of the world).'; The key verge is Mark 10:45, “The Son of .Man came not to* be minis-' tored unto but to minister and to give - His life ja ransom for many.” The key wolds are,, “straightway," ^'forthwith,” “Immediately.” I, Who 1* Jesus Christ (1:1)?

In preparation for the comingChrist the people were, to repent of their, slhs. Those who repented were to be baptised. Baptism was to be admin­ istered to those who repented as an expression of penitence which led to forgiveness of; sin. { - ' (3) -.The coming pf the Messiah, (vv. 7, 8).

This test* ing was to demonstrate the reality qi the Incarnation. Because of this demonstration believers can be as­ sured that the Son of God has become Incorporated with humanity for the purpose of its salvation.
