THE LAWS DELAY.

The best editorial that we have read
in many months appears in. thisaweek' S
Charity and Children. 1t. does not APP
prove1 or endorse or palliate the, Sails
bury lynching, it upholds the hands of
the Governor and other officers of the
law in trying to apprehend and bring to
trial the men who took the law into
their own hands. but it also points out
one Of the causes that tends to lessen
respect for the law. We quote the edi-
torial in full:
Eve are glad that Governor Aycock
went to the limit of the law in Offering
rewards for the Salisbury lynching mob
who committed SO great an outrage upon
law and order and common decency
But behind all this unreasoning passion
and brutality. there lies a cause for much
of the violence we have suffered at the
hands of needless mobs. At this very
hour there lies in the Rowan county Jail
three criminals who ought to have been
hung long ago. Two of them are in
prison for the nameless crime, and the
other for as cold blooded a murder as
been postponed from court to- court, for
one technical reason and another. until
the public have turned away disguised
at the interminable delay, and the evil
thought in mems hearts of appealing to
lynch law, which is always prompt, took
deeper root, until as in the recent de-
plorabie occurrence, it completely domi-
mated the natures of enough reckless men
tn hn 1oxv 4
munity 1t is a pity that so many loop
holes are allowed in the processes of
our courts for guilty wretches to escape.
The sentiment that every man is entitled
to a fair hearing Ga wholesome and Just
sentiment is abused by sharp lawyers,
who secure delays, sometimes on the
most trivial grounds. The fires of pas
sion grow apace. Justice is not melted
out. Patience wears to a fragile. some
hotspur gives the word and then-the
deluge. If the sickening delay in the ex-
ecution of the law could be avoided and
prompt and speedy trials secured, much
of the ground on which lynchers stand
would be cut from under their feet
Instead of ignoring criticisms of this
character, it would be we'll if the Bar
Association. when it meets at Asheville
next week would consider how the laws
delay that is complained of can be
remedied. This paper waged a fight in
the last Legislature to change the law
which gives the accused an undue ad-
vantage over the State, but most of the
lawyers fought it and defeated it. 1t is
duty incumbent upon the bar to lead
in the direction of such changes as will
put an end to the denial of justice in
many cases. The lawyers are the proper
men to lead in the needed reforms. The
profession is composed, in the main. of
honorable and patriotic gentlemen who
stand for an honest administration of
justice. 1t will not do for them to OPP
pose the necessary changes by saying,
"All is we'll" when the people see that
guilty men often go unpublished.
