We'll, Mr.. Editor, you msY delight In s
strong government Of this character, and,
20 use your own words, "DstuTaiiy appl.v
70 the federal government for protection
Of person and property" but such doc
tribes are contrary TO the fundamental
principles Of our government.
You seem 10 think that the governor
has the
RIGHT TO ORDER TROOPS
% locality without request from the
proper local authorities, and that u he
hasn't this power be should have Il.
The governor under existing laws has
no such power, and my solemn protest
will ever be given against any such grant
Of power. and an exercise u Is would
soon lead the people TO thrust the party
from power a. summArily IS II did Z. J.
exercise u such power. Our government
was intended 70 re = government Of the
people, and ~ based on The idea that 10
cal executive officers viii enforce the
isws, and that the military power Of the
sisps will be used only when the
LOCAL OFFICERS ARR POWEELgss
Or refuse 70 execute the law The News
ian never eonYluce the people ihat the
present state government mas fziied a.

lire powers 70 protect person and prop 4
srty and even i they could point 20 one Z

change Of officers, and not an argument I
Is used b. you, IN favor 81 substituting !
federal for state government.
Supposl0g the federal court, because 4
another citizen assaults one Of these pro
lac vice officers Of the court, Furnishes 4
him for contempt and then the state 4
Furnishes him for assault, would not the /

bapS, II had aspirations 70 be governor, i
the News Is right in saying must revise 4
my statesmanship on The 50 questions; bGt
Il the News IL correct IL would only prove 4
10 me that our citizenship has no proper I
conception u the theory upon which our
government II founded believe Ia the
suppression Of all mob violence and Ia

rights; but | went TO see that done In the

The federal officials seem To think, ana
never so grave as to demand such an
