SOME REFORMS MUCH NEEDED,


Is it not time that we should come to-
yether upon the high plane OF patriotism
while we devise methods that shall secure
the right of any man qualified by law to
east free ballot and give to every such bal
lot an equal value In choosing our public
officers and In directing the policy Of the
government! Lawlessness Is not Less
but more where IL usurps the functions of
the peace officer and OF the courts The
frequent lynchings Of colored people accused
of crime is without the excuse which has
sometimes been urged by mobs for fail
ure to pursue the appointed methods for the
punishment OF crime that The accused nave
an undue influence over court and Justice,
Such acts are a reproach to the community
where they occur, and so far as they can
be made subject Of federal Jurisdiction the
strongest repressive legislation Is demanded
public sentiment that will sustain the
officers OF the law in resisting mobs and
protecting accused persons in their custody
should be promoted by every possible means.
The officer who gives his life in the brave
discharge of his duty is worthy of special
honor. No lesson needs be so urgently i'm
pressed upon people as this, that no
worthy end or cause can be promoted by
lawlessness.
This exhibit of the work of the executive
departments is submitted TO congress and
to the public in the hope that there will be
found in IL due sense OF responsibility
and an earnest purpose to maintain the
national honor and to promote the happiness
and prosperity Of all our people. And this
brief exhibit of the Growth and prosperity
OF the country will give level from
which to note the increase or decadence
that new legislative policies may bring to
us. There is no reason why the national in
nuence, power and prosperity should not
observe the rates OF increase that have
the past 30 years. We carry
the great impulse and increase of these
years into the future. There IS no reason
why in many lines of production we should
not surpass all other nations as we have
,lready done in some. There are no near
frontiers to our possible developments. Ret
would be crime.
