Signs of the times are much im- proved when a police judge turns a man lose for compelling amotorman to stop his car at a crossing at the point of a pistol. It might be well to plant a cannon at each crossing and instruct the citiz n how to use it onacar when a motorman refused to heed a signal to stop for a passen- ger.

Formerly it was only the “nigger” in the south and the horse- thief in the wild and woolly weat, who was lynched. Now the effete east comes to the front with its quota of lynchings and they burna negro at the stake toshow what they can do when thoroughly aroused. G@ >vernor Durban, of Indiana, made anefiortto have lynchers in thas state indicted snd punished and President Roosevelt wrete him along letter commending his course and condemning in the severest language mob law in all its forms. From the rostrum, the pulpit, the press, the supreme bench, comes a discussion of mob law -and its evils and offering suggestions for ite cure. Justice Brewer, of the U. 8S. Su- preme court advocates a speedy trial without right of appeal in cases which seem to justify mob law. John Temple Graves, a noted Georgia lecturer, in commenting upon Mr, Roosevelt's letter, says: th “The mob knows its business and the mob does its work. And the mob to day is the sternest, the strongest and the most effective restraint that the age holds for the control of the monstrous crime which {it avenges The lyncher does not exterminate the rapist, but holds him mightily in check.

Thousands of vicious negroes halt in terror before the blazing an- ger and the flery vengeance of the mob. Criminal? Yes. Lawless? Yes. Ought to be abolished? If possible, yes. Butas a sheer, cold, patent fact, the mob stands to-day as the highest, strongest »nd most potent bal wark between the women of the south and such a carnival of crime as would infuriate the world and pre- clpitate the annihilation of the negro race, Itis not a pleasant thing to say. Itisnot a popular thing to say. | But it is the only true thing to say The noted evangelist Sam Jones when asked what he thought of the President's letter on lynching and John Temple Graves reply toit, said: “I think both are right. Mob law is anarchy, and the salvation of this country is in maintaining a respect for law. But the one defense of lynch- ing, which the South gives, has plaus- ibility in it. The Southerners donot want the woman who isa victim of @ black brute to be compelled to go into court and submit to the cross- examination of a lawyer for the de- fense and tell the horrible details of the crime. “The way to stop lynching is to stop the assaults. No attempt is made to excuse lynching for other crimes. “The chain gang and the Peniten- tiary bring no disgrace to the south- ern negro, When & negro returns from prison, his journey is like a march oftriumph. He loses no stand- ing among the people of his own race by reason of his imprisonment. “John Temple Graves is right when he said that if we stoplynching the South will witness a carnival of crime that will result in theextermin- ation of the negro race. I do notde- fend lynching, but the way to stop lynching is to stop the causes This is not a political question, nor ques- tion, nor a race question, but a ques- tion of the main crime.” they do not trust. In St. Louis it ts different. Business men there refuse to attend the nominating conven- tions. If they would perform this solemn public duty we would haveno boodlers. “Boodling belongs to no party. Republicans cannot lay it at our door, for during the reign of Ziegen- heinism it was rampant in St. Louis. Democrats ended it there, as they will end it throughout the State. A Democratic Prosecuting Attor- ny and Attorney-General are now convicting the boodlers, and Democratic Judges will sentence them. A Democratic Governor, 80 long as I am chief executive, will keep every boodler in the peniten- tiary who is sent there.” The Governor concluded by remind- ing the Republicans that they had a boodle affair of their own at Wash- ington which would keep them busy for a while. Folk Speaks at Palmyra Confed- erate Celebration. Hannibal, Mo., Aug. 15 —Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk, of St. Louis, and Senator Francis M. Cock- rell, Warrensburg, were the attrac- tions at two great meetings in Ma- rion county to-day. The first was held in Palmyra, fifteen miles west from here, this afternoon, with 8,000 in attendance and the other in Han- nibal to-night in the Park Theater. Both meetings were characterized by a laudation of reform, both onthe part of the speakers and by the pec- ple. In Palmyra Mr. Folk took for his subject “Good Government,” talking for three-quarters of an hour on the duty of good citizenship. In aspeech which denoted his intense feelings on the subject, Senator Cockrell pleaded in no uncertain terms for a citiz» - ship which would~ demand party tickets, composed of absolutely clean men for every office. Both men re- ceived a welcome which was unmis- takable for its sincerity and appre- ciation of the subject uppermost in the minds of the people Judge J. H. Harrison, president of the Palmyra Monument Association, under whose auspices the celebration was held, sounded the keynote of the gathering when he introduced the three men who spoke, Mr. Folk, Sena- tor Cockrell and State Senator Heather, as the “Apostle of Civic Righteousness,” the reverend, belov- ed and immaculate senior United States Senator from Missouri,” and the ‘young and incorruptible State Senator from this district ” The expressions of confidence in the three men were heartily applaud- ed. , DOCKERY DECLARES DEMOCRATS WILL SCOURGE BOODLERS, Practice Altogether If It Can Control St. Louis. Kansas City, Aug. 15.—Governor Dockery and Judge Gantt addressed 7,000 persons to-day at Lone Jack on the occasion of the anniversary of that battle.
