brave action.
Tee following from to days MEE.
Curry is fully explanatory:
In special message Gov. Jones
has knocked the stuffing out Of
the Hundley school amendment in
a measure we don't admire, but at
the same time, in an argument that
we are forced TO recognize as logi-
cal and probably correct. We have
long since favored this Legislative
step, and were of the opinion that
The desired end could be attained
by change in the fundamental
law, and we are not yet fully salts
fed that it cannot. In his message
Gov. ones says;
"The constitution of the United States,
which is the supreme law Of the land,
forbids the benefits or protection OF gov
ernment from being apportlOned on race
lines, or accorded the races in proportion
to their wealth or poverty, or the amount
Of tsxes which each may pay. The State
might as well attempt to declare that the
courts should be held open to adjust dis
putes between persons of one race, only

One crime, however brutal and
diabolical, does not justify another.
Such exhibitions as the burning OF
suspected criminals disgrace any
country where the barbarity is per-
mitted The effect instead IF being
corrective of crimes desired to de-
moralize and debases. The besl
people should combine against mob
law of all kind and use their efforts
to have the law made the resort for
the punishment of crime, which
need not be less certain and terrible
to law breakers and friends but a
bulwark of safety to the innocent.
Let the majesty of the law be up
held.
