Defends the Governor.

It is not simply high regard and
great esteem for Governor Tyler that
impels us to take a stand in his behalf
against the critics of his course with re-
gard to the unfortunate Emporia affair.
1t is merely an act of justice. We be-
lieve that Governor Tyler did all that
he could under the circumstances, and
that the blame is solely upon the sheriff
and the people of Emporia themselves.
The sheriff was the agent of the people
of Emporia, appointed by them to pro-
tect them and uphold the law in just
such instances as the one in question.
It was at his instance that the Cover
nor's aid was invoked and it was to him
that the Governor looked for a proper
use Of the military sent him in response
to his call for help. His failure to do
his duty can in no way reflect upon
the Governor. The sheriff asked that
the military sent him be recalled, stating
that the danger Of mob violence was
over He was the supreme representa-
tive of the law and was in command
of the situation. AS the agent of the
people affected his request was honored.
IT, as has been minated he was drunk,
or if as has been stated, he was in
sympathy with the mob and was so I'M
mindful of his sacred duty as to become
intoxicated or to lend himself to a plan
to circumvent the trust imposed upon
him, he is to blame for the lynchinS
and the people who appointed him their
agent are to blame for allowing such
a weak or dishonorablc man to occupy SO
responsible a position among them. AS
the Governor says, he might have de-
clared martial law upon the representa-
ton of the military, but the evils OF such
an act are so apparent, and have al
ways been so, that no Executive eX-
cept in the most extreme cases and
upon the unqualified assertion Of every
one that the law can be upheld in no
other way, ever resorts to it. To err
is certainly human, and Governor Tyler
is no less human than others. and he
has, no doubt, made mistakes as other
men do. yet in this instance we cannot
see that he has done wrong or that he
has left undone anything which. as the
Chief Executive Of the State Of Virginia,
he should have dcne.-Roanoke Times.
