THE GROWING PREVALENCE OF
LYNCH LAW.

La NSIL LA ~
Says the Manchester Guardian: The
recent exhibition Of lynch law in Virginia
has drawn from the press generally severe
criticism of the condition of a community
that permits such lawless proceedings. II
is possible that the community is not so
much to blame, but that til" fault les
more in the present corrupt jury system
than in any want of civilization or dis
inclination to abide by laws that are
properly executed.
Every State in the Union has on its
statute books laws regulating the trial OF
persons guilty of every shade of crime
from petty larceny to murder, but while
the lesser criminals in most instances re-
ceive their full measure of puri shment, it
is o notorious fact that it is almost i'm
possible to convict man of heinous crime
provided he possesses u shadow of inhu-
ence, social Or political. Prisons are fill
ed with men serving light sentences who
should have been hung long ago, and in
most cities men boldly walk the ctreets
unmolested who should be undergoing
punishment.
Wonld i: not be well for the press to
consider the fact that the people are fast
loosing faith in trials by jury, and in sheer
desperation are led to acts OF violence to
which they would have no incentive were
not the wheels of justice SO often clogged
In order to save prominent criminals from
the punishment they SO richly deserve.
To this. more than anything else, is to be
attributed the increasing number Of in
!. stances Of mob violence throughout the
country, and the only remedy lies in the
direction of "a better enforcement of exist
ing laws and a radical purifcation Of the
present jurv system Of trial by jury

This makes filtering substance.
Iusc alum because it is the only
thing that will prec!pitate all the

INA NUT SHELL.

Why is the Mt. Hope Monitor so 81.
lent upon the subject of the new line
of railroad from Halstead to Kingman!
-Halstead Clipper.
In the first place, to make q long
story short, we prefer aWichita road.
Although Halstead connection would
be good thing, it cannot possibly do
us as much good as Wichita connec-
ton. To sum it up in nut shell, II
stands r. follows: Would we rather
pay local freight rates to Kansas City
or 10 Wichita: We are all beginning
to realize that there can be but one
Wichita; and that that Wichita Is dcs-
tined to be the wholesale point for all
the country lying west of here to the
Colorado line. A line from this
point to Kansas City would make
us pay local rates distance of about
230 miles. The same line to Wichita
would make us pay local rates only 30
miles, a difference of just 200 miles.
Anybody can see the vast difference.
Understand, we are not running down
the proposed Halstead and kingman
line. but rather are endeavoring 10
boom that as much as any. But after
we get the Wichita and Colorado
nothing under tie shining sun would
do as much good as another line, SO as
to have competition, which the city OF
Halstead has not got, consequently
they cannO, appreciate it. Further
more, we will make the statement thai
the Mentor has had more to say about
the Kansas aud Panhandle road than
the Clipper has. while the Mentor has
had two roads TO boom and the Clip
per but one. Look over back files and
see if we amt right.-Mentor.
