The Nacchez Democrat, which is
always sound on the question of mob
law, closes one of the best articles
we have read on the Yazoo lynching
as follows:
No matter where mob law and
lynchings occur, they are to be de
prtcated and condemned The firm
and certain execution of the law by
the courts should be imperatively
demanded and such legislation
enacted as will enforce the prompt
punishment OF all violators of the
law. A public sentiment shonld be
encouraged against the vicious prac-
tice OF releasing public offenders
upon technicalities and the court
should gard the interest of the
State against the ingenuity of coun-
sci when they would clear their
client by technical expedients at the
expense of justice aud the well being
of the community. When the pm
ishment of criminals by legal
methods is assured, then all excuse
for mob law will cease and lynch
ings will become odious, and their
perpetrators criminals. We would
be glad TO see Mississippi taking
the lead in reform in this respect,
and her laws so framed and so en-
forced that there would be no longer
an excuse for any kinl of extra
judicial action Oh the part of any of
her people.
