people, who have less to provoke them
to it, lynch. Let US not take them %
a standard; but rather show higher
type of civilization in our State, and
erect here a standard to which they
may aspire.
The Governor is in favor OF arming
the prisoners and allowing them to pro-
tect themselves from mobs. He says:
1.-The arresting officer is now clothed
with authority to take prisoner
from his custody, and, it is his duty
to take life, if necessary, to pro-
tect the prisoner and retain him In
custody. This he should be required
to do at the hazard of his own life, or
the prisoner should be unshackled,
armed and given an opportunity to de-
ferd himself. The knowledge on the
part of the mob that this would be done
would deter it from pursuing its lswless
purpose, and the law would be per.
mitted to protect the innocent and
punish the guilty"
