Thomas Paine on Equality.

"
The illuminating and divine primer

has its origin from the Maker Oh man
relates not only to the living lndiNiu-

ceeding each other. Every genera

lions which preceded it, by the sahh'
rule that every individual il porI'
equal in rights with his contempor-
airy.
Natural rights are those VINO APP
pertain to man i'll right OF his ems.
ence, OF this kind are all the inter
lectual rights, or rights of the nino'
and also all those rights of acling us
an individual for his W comfort anu

the natural rights of others.
Every history of the creation, ana
every Evolutionary account who'ni
from the lettered or unlettered world,
however they may vary IN theif
oninion or belief of certain particulars,
all agree in establishing one point,
the unity of man; by which | mean
that men are all of one degree, and
consequently that all men are born
equal, and with equal natural rights,
in the same manner as if posterity
had been continued by creation in
stead of generation, the latter being
only the mode by which the former

NOR LAW IN CATJAWAY

That Emmett Divers, the rapist and
murderer, deserved infection of the
highest penalty under the law no one
Will deny. His guilt was assured and the
courts of the country are organized
and maintained for the purpose of
melting out justice in Just such cases.
No society can be maintained without
tribunals of Justice and no system of
Justice can be maintained unless rules
of law be enforced. That Divers
would have met death under these
fixed rules had the mob not interfered,
no one will for a moment doubt. That
the mob was unlawful and the men
who engaged in the hanging as much
m~alefactors under the law as Divers,
there is also no doubt. There is n
difference only III the enormity of
the offense. The right thinking peo-
pie of the state will not be slowin their
condemnation of the mob. 1t is not the
fact of the hanging that is to be con-
demned but the fact that ii was brought
about by the same unlawful spirit that
actuated Divers in his crime. This is
a serious question. 1t affects society,
civilization and the State of Missouri
from n material standpoint. 1t gives
us n bad name everywhere. 1t drives
away immigration, enterprise, and
moral and material growth. Galloway
County has done its share of this
thing. Ii is time that the conserva-
tive, sensible and aw-abiding element
of the county should assert itself
The acts of the mob in Fulton follow,
