one day saw Frank Rogers sitting in
a window of LIE Grand hotel, Chicago,

arrived, the boy had gone. AT other

been partially identified, but have al

clew, from Casselton, N. D., appears
more hopeful than any of the others.

TO PUT DOWN LYNCH LAW.

Governor Sayers Of Texas, II appears,
has decided to make an effort at put
ling an end to lynch law, as far as
his state Is concerned. And he hopes
TO attain this desirable end by the pas
sage OF law making county, or dis
trict officials accountable for the mob
outrages committed in the districts UNI
der their jurisdiction, provided they
could have prevented such outrages by
more strictly attending TO their duties.
The proposition calls attention to the
notorious fact, that a great many
lynchings would be prevented, II the
ce,cers would do their duty, and that In
some instances judges and sheriffs neg
.ect TO do their duties for fear OF the
mob, or perhaps because they sympa-
thize with the mob. Such officers ought
TO be held responsible. They are placed
IN office, to maintain the law against
mcbs ana anarchy. When they neglect
to do this duty, they are no better than
traitors to the people they represent
That something should be done
speedily In the indicated direction, Is
pain TO all who reflect on the situation.
There has been In this country a
marked development from bad to worse
in regard to the administration OF mob
law. To begin with, II was plain hang
irg. Then came the Kidding of the
body with bullets, as pastime to the
brutes that took upon themselves the
role OF avenging angels But this Is
now surpassed. And II has become q
fendlsh custom to invite spectators and
iun specials for the benefit Of those
who desire to see a human being per-
ishing in flames, or perhaps to gather
up some gruesome objects as mementos
of the horrible spectacle. 1t Is high
time that something be done to stop
that terrible.form Of lawlessness. For
IL viii In time become danger to
American civilization, unless II Is at
tended to.
Possibly the proposed law, even If
adopted, would prove inadequate. 1t
would certainly be one most difficult to
enforce, since 1t would be almost i'm
possible TO prove neglect on the part OF
the officers. But il is well that the at
tention of legislatures and the public Is
called to the existing conditions. for
only so can the public conscience be
aroused, and public sentiment moulded
In the right direction.
