laxity in the enforcement of the prohibl.
tion law emanates from those with whom
this particular statute is q fad. To these
enthusiasts it makes no difference that.
where public opinion is opposed to their
enforcement, other laws are allowed with
out protest to become dead letter They
shout only for the enforcement of their
particular fad. and every citizen who
doesn't shout with them is poor missr-
able sinner and unfit to live. Neither
does the fact that large majority of
their neighbors believe their fad law to
be an unmitigated evil make any differ
encc with them. Even though cities may
be on the verge of bankruptcy, no rcve.
nue. must be raised from tho saloons.
Even though joints flourish on every
hard, no action looking to their llmi,a.
tiou by way Of license, and the conse.
quent placing of the sale in the hands O.!
the more careful and responsible dealers,
must be taken.
But the writer looks at the matter in
a different set of lamps. He believes
that the prohibition law ia unjust, and
he believes that those cities and counties
which have no use for 1t should treat it
as the slavc.huntiug law was treated by
The people of the northern free states.
He sees no reason for taking IL from the
category in which are the noxinus weeds
law, the cactus annihilatiou statute aud
the anti work on Sunday enactment.
Furthermore, he does not believe that
any little petty province has the moral
right IT, outlaw u business for the con.
ducling of which this great Nation with
a big N sells permits, or to render worth.
less the plants of an industry from which
the Nation der ives its chief revenue. And
he does not believe that any man or set
of men should pr. scribe the food or drluk
Of other men who are, competent to
choose and regulate the intake of their
own stomach.
The editor Of the Record cannot agree
with the Ozone as to the ''horribleness'
of the Bismarckian method of dealing
with barrators. On the contrary, he takes

MOB WAS TOO DRUNK
TOOK TOO MUCH WHISKY TO DO
THEIR WORK.
Two Negroes Escape from the Hands
of IA savage Mob Organized
TO Lynch Them.

Louisville, Ky, August IA special
to the Commercial from Lebanon. KY,
says:
A mob OF about forty men went to
the Springfield jail about / o'clock yes
terday morning and demanded OF the
Jailer the keys leading to the cells Of
Matthew Lewis and Jegse Ray, who
outraged Mrs. Shields, white, recently.
The jailer seeing that resistance was
useless, handed over the keys and the
mob at once proceeded to business.
As everybody In the mob was drunk
none of them seemed able to unlock
the jail doors, After working ut the
locks and bolts without success they
procured sledge hammers and tried TO
batter down the doors The doors
proved too strong for them, however,
and after two hours Of hard work they
abandoned the job.
They then emptied their revolvers
into the cells OF the jail, but no one
was hit, Returning the keys to the
Jailer they told him they would be back
again tonight and left town, The mob
was composed OF men from Washing
ton and Marion counties, nine OF them,
It is said, being from this city.
The sheriff OF Washington county
passed through this city today with
Lewis and Ray on their way to Louis
Vile, where the two negroes VIII be

ers had II close call for their lives. Had
they remained at Springfield tonight
