Gov. O'Ferrall 81 Virginia, who
has made q name for himself by
bitterly denouncing >the lynchiug
practice, again expressed himself
on the same line when he read oil
the recent lynching troubles at Ur'
bana, Ohio, The governor said
81 know there is a crime 80 black
that it is too horrible to mention
so black as to cry for vengeance
but even the commission of tina,
crime cannot warrant a resort tt
mob violence, for justice with us is
certain, and will never miscarry il
the law is allowed to take it's course
"The remedy" the governor says
''is to hold the law officers to q
strict accountability and sustain
them whenever necessary with
soldiers" Continuing, be says: "In
addition, punish the lynchers, and
in order to do so provide for a
change OF venue"
The governors suggestions to
the Virginia legislature In regard
to lynching, sad to say, was ignora
ed.
Gov. McLaurin expresses lis opin.
ion in the following language:
81 prefer not to express an opin.
ion on the Ohio lynching, but have
no hesitancy in saying that / am
opposed to lynch law. 1t is a spe-
cies of lawlessness that sets at de-
fiance the will and authority of an
organized state. While il may be a
terror to law breakers it is not necs
essarily shield or protection to the
obedient. 1t is controlled by passion
and fury and not by judgment and
justice. 1t does not know when or
where to stop. Possibly there are
cases where it works benefits, but
it is dangerous experiment in eve
cry instance. There is no odium
attaching to the country from a
lynch law any more than other hei.
nous crime. Whatever odium there
is attaches to the individuals par
ticipating. The particular section
is culpable or not as it attempts to
prevent The crime or punish the
criminals"
In the recent attempted lynching
at Huntsville, Ala, Gov. Johnston
expressed his opinion in the follow.
ing telegram to the sheriff:
81 will send you all the troops
necessary to protect prisoners.
There must be no violation of
law. Our courts will punish all
offenders. Yon must not permit
