IIE governor of Texas recently con-
Vened special session of the legislat-
ure to enact a law to prevent prize
lighting, and he has received a great
deal OF praise from all parts of the
country for the stand he took in for
ever putting an end in his state to the
demorallzing spectacle of two highly
trained DULLES pitted against each
other for the delectation of thugs.
gamblers and thieves. The calling of a
special session of the legislature for the
enactment of this law cost the taxpayers
about twenty thousand dollars. but
as there was principle involved in
1t. the people will not grumble at this
additional taxation, especially in view
of the fact that the state has re-
celved more than an equivalent in the
free advertising it has received as a
commonwealth whose people will not
tolerate anything of brutal, debasing

son and the legislature is commemorate.

we refer to public executions. A Texas
exchange of recent date speaks of man
being hanged in the presence of eight
or nine thousand persons. This event

the governor granted the condemned
man respite! If the spectacle of two

A MOB at Tiffin, Ohio, attempted
to lynch prisoner, but the sheriff
was not the man to yield and in con-
sequence several of the mob lost
their lives. In the matter of lynchlng
there is vast difference of sentiment
between the North and South. In the
Southern states the peace officers are
more accommodating and rarely make
any resistance to the demands of a
mob for victim of lynch law.
