SECURITY BANK EXTENDS HOURS Banking service until the evening of Thursday will be available at Branch of the Securitional Bank, according to announcement by James LAW IN ACTION TOUGH GUYS Somebody seeing the dictators of work has called ours the Age of Tough Guys. Like other ages, we have had to learn anew how to keep tough guys from shoving us around. How? Some brave man must stand put on the law. 1. Socrates on trial himself told how he had stood up against public opinion and tough guys. "My tribe presided when you tried the generals for leaving bodies on the battle field. You wanted to try them in a bunch—against the law. Alone I fought you, voted you down. You shouted—as now: but I risked death—with law and right on my side—rather than share wrong with you. "Once more: The tyrants asked me and four others to get Leon from Salamis for them to kill. They did not scare me. When we left them, the others went for Leon. But I walked home, which in those days was as much as your life was worth." 2. Cicero alone dared to defend Rosclus whom Crysogonus, the Roman tough guy, had condemned for his wealth. Against the court and Rome's most powerful man, Cicero shamed the court into freeing Rosclus. 3. Backed into a corner, England's chief justice, Lord Coke, still told King James to bow to the common law like other people. The law is above the king. 4. John Adams, later our president, but then a revolutionary, risked his life and career to defend the hated British soldiers who shot the people in the Boston Massacre. And so, when our forefathers had won our freedom, they put the right to counsel in our constitution. Thus you get a man sworn to defend you, no matter how unpopular your cause may be or who's against you. No wonder that all tough guys, like Shakespeare's rabble rouser, Jack Cade, always say: "First thing, let's kill all the lawyers." NOTE: The State Bar of California offers this column for your information so that you may know more about how to act under our laws.
