The best way to prevent mobs. however
Is to avoid all provocntion. 1t IL rare, in

mobs all should obey tho law and keep
their passions within proper bounds. We
have 20 word of apology for mob violence
but It has struck us at times that souc of

prontnbly applied to the one who commit.

for summary punishment. Let offences
cease, let men behave themselves, let them
do as thoy would be done by. and there will
then DO very little mob violence. There
arc none SO ignorant that they do not know
the consequence Of bestial acts, and whom
they commit them they shonld not com

should be punished according to law. and
