The Right Kind of sheriff

! One sheriff has had the courage and
the sense OF duty to maintain the su>
premacy of law 1t is regrettable that in
doing so Sheriff Smith, of Birmingham,
Ala, was compelled to sacrifice human
life. but nevertheless he has set an exam
pie to other officers of the law that was
badly needed. One of the darkest blots
upon the history of the west and south
has been the complaisance of sheriffs to
+ Any mob that might demand the lives of
<ishose in their charge The facility and
frequency with which mobs have hanged
men before their guilt or the degree of
their guilt have been judicially ascer-
tained have been fully as criminal as the
acts charged against the victims. The
only safety of the citizen is in the MAIN
senance OF the law. Ii the rale of riots
ers, like the White Caps of Indiana, the
~ Ssld 4Knobbers OF Missouri and the
-be lynchers of Birmingham is per.
no ooe knows when the fury of
aobtmay be turned against himself
"'e cen be snarchy in Furnishing
ue as committing crime. The mer
sske prisoner from the custody OF
lhe sheriff and lynch him show as mucl
4 contempt for the law as the red>mouthet
anarchists of Chicago. The most wicke,
NSretch is entitled to fair trial and to al
y opportunity to offer whatever plea he Cal
10 denial or mitigation. Those who TAX
an life in the manner these mobs do
@ply guilty of murder and sboul,
lshed as murderers.
N ba honor to Sheriff Smith, of Birming
- He is brave man and he did ex
- aclly right.
