THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, '9t

Governor Bradley, Of Kentucky,
joins South Carolina in the effort
to break up the lynching habit
There is all the difference between
republican and democratic meth
DDS in their attempts. The demo
cratic way is to make no allowance
for circumstances over which the
sheriff may have no control, and
fine that officer 81, 800 for the bene-
fit Of the widow, whether or no.
The republican method is to hold
the county responsible and make
such killing by lynchers lien on
the county treasury for $4,000. If
the sheriff has not done his duty
his bondsmen are liable and the
county may recover from him.
This is a more sensible and equita-
BILE procedure, not to mention its
practicability.

that can be reached by the Ameri-
