The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1897-08-21

The extraordinary number of
lynchings reported this season led
the New York Herald to request ex-
pressions of opinion from several
OF the Southern Governors. Gov
ernor Atkinson of Georgia says the
increase of any such affairs is due
10 the greater number of desperate
negroes who regard neither moral
nor municipal law. He remarks
that while part of the negro race
has improved since emancipation,
many are vastly worse citizens than
they were thought capable of being
when they were freed. But Gov.
ernor Atkinson deplores the lynch
lngs, and to put stop to them
would make the county responsible
to the family of the person iynched.
Governor Ellerbe of South Carolina
is one of the strongest anti-lynch
men of the South, and does not be-
ileve that any crime, however terri
bic, justities lynching. He thinks
the remedy will be found in more
speedy trials in the courts. Govern.
or O'Farrell of Virginia answers
That the best remedy he can recon-
mend is Virginia's present plan,
namely, speedy trials, proper pro.
lection by the courts of the feelings
OF the unfortunate victims of out
RACES, and the exclusion of all per
sons not connected with trials from
the court room, prompt convictions, |
swift justice. death penalty and the
Tree use of the military tossupport

A Klondyke mining man writes to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat about
the new Ell Dorado as follows:
Nothing like this has ever been heard
OF IN the world. Money, that is gold
DUST, is almost "a plentiful as water. The
gold THAT will come out of here inside of
two or three years will make Wall street
more anxious to demonetizs gold than it
ever was to demonetize silver"

The Truant School Law .

Last week ! was visiting schools
and parents in Columbia Township,
With remarkable success. ! find
the schools in that township, as a
whole in fine running trim, with a
courteous and pleasant SCI OF teach
ers.
Columbia township had 491
children enumerated last spring, and
has since gained children of school
age near thirty, so now il has about
go children Of school aye.
When | visited that locality, |
found some opposition to the new
compulsory school law, but when
that matter was explained they all
admitted it TO he good law. They,
in most cases, had a misconception
of the law and did not understand
It's benefits.
Their were % truant children in
that township started to school dur
ing the week. About all the eligl-
bic children are going to school ex'
cept those detained by sickness.
The efficient trustee, Mr.. X. L
smith, is co-worker in the interes'
OF the schools, and ready at any
and all times to- give his assistance
to the cause of education.
Should the schools continue a'
they are now moving, that township
will have a good report to submit
but the school houses will have t
be enlarged or new ones built, az
most Of them are too small to ac
commodate the scholars.
| find that the opinion OF mos
persons converSant with the new
law is, il does not 90 far enough
Ii should include the IL year child
rem, and made to be little more
searching.
In some localities found child
rem Ga few 10 and II years old wh'
had never beer in school but a fev
days, and some few never had at
tended school until this year.
