LynChiEg.

Editor of The Times:
Sir-As a close reader Of The DAILY
Times, [ may be. permitted, through its
columns. to say a word to my fellow
citizens on the subject of lynchinG.
There is no question before us. in my
judgment. Of Graver import. Scores OIL
good citizens fippantly speak in favor
Of lynchng. When The pssii>-a,
flaming headlines, announce such Eruta-
crimes as have recently occurred IN
Lynchburg, Va, and in LunenburS coun-
ty, Va, and the reporters, with burning
words, relate every detail. your rcaoers
cry out ''the brute ought to be lynched
They do not stop for a moment to reflect
that lynching is subversive of law and
good government, destructive of the SAFE
guards of society, and like the boon.
erang. may fall upon the heads of those
who use it. Establish the practice OF
Iynchins and the life of no citizen Is
safe. Listen to the voice of the mob aud
tile best man in any community may not
count his life too sacred for sacrifice.
Let some malicious person of fairly
reputable life accuse him and the cry
OF the mob in its frenzy is lynch him.
Many an innocent man has lost his life
BY this violent and unciviized method.
In-7our paper of the 18th of February
it is said Governor Montague has been
criticised for sending troops to Lynch
burg. [, for one, rejoice that he did it.,
and I am glad to see that he construes
the Constitution to grant him the right
to send troops without being asked by the
local authorities to do so.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1902-02-27
hope the Governor will stand by this
principle to the end, whatever it may cost


principle to the end, whatever it may cost
to do so.
The tiends who do their heinous deeds,
however they may merit condiSn punish
ment, are no more certainly law break
ers than iynchcrs who execute them III
defiance and contempt of the law IL the
State needs swifter and surer justice in
dealing with assault and murder, let the
people demand it at the hands of the
Legislature.
The Legislature that will deprive the
assaulter and rnitlnis hit assassin the right
OF appeal and permit the court to execute
the death sentence in ten days from the
date of conviction will immorta!ize itself
and do much to stay the hand Of LVnch-
crs. But until that is done the State
must fight lynchers as best it can with
the means at hand.
Permit me here to suggest ono remedy.
Let the proper officer of the county or
town or city put under bond all leading
mon who threaten or advocate lynchinE,
and if, in his judgment, it is necessary
lock them up until the danger is over. /
have heard il said many times, Had
President Mckinley been assassinated in
a Southern city his murderer would have
been lynchcd." Arc the people of the
North better and more lava biding than
VIC of tho Sout.," ! think not. Their Of
fcers are NOR, rigid perhaps in the ex-
ccutior OF law. L have Il friend who
was visiting the exposition at the
time Tie President was shot. His
home was at Il house occupied by some
CT the police of the city. He erquiTcd of
them as to TIE probability of lynchinS
the assassin. He was told: There is no
probability of lynching, because We have
arrested and put under bonds or behind
the bars every man whom we suspect of
leading d LYnchinS party.
Why could not the police of LynchburE
nave done this, and 50 lave saved the
annoyance, humiliation and expense of
having the military called out to protect
from mob violence u miserable brute?
Why cannot the judge of the county of
Lynchburg have sworn in hundred con-
stables, if necessary, and make it their
duty to arrest and bring before him
every man whom they suspect Of mob
violence? Are we dependent upon powder
and ball, sword and bayOnet to preserve
the Sood name and to execute the laws
Of the State of Virginia? If so, it looks
to me we are lapSing into b2rbarsm.
The fault [ judge to lie in two facts %,
a lack of diligence in our civil officers;
CO. the latitude allowed such criminals.
In the Amelia county case the accused
had two fair trials in both. lie was
found guilty of the crime and adjudged
10 merit the death penalty. Appeal was
taken in each case. On the night OF tie
day after the second trial. the brute was
taken from the jail and hung. Had this
man been deprived by law of the right
of appeal, he would have gone to the
sallows by the authority Of the State.
l think if our conservative citizens viii
speak through our papers on this impor
tant subject it will help others to think,
and perhaps influence them to preserve
law and order. | am glad to know that
the editor of The Times has spoken more
than once in no uncertain voice against

A Supsri1teEdcEt's View.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-Secretary Brent claims that the
educational system Of Virginia Is as
good or better than that of Georgia, be
cause of the number Of Virginia schootS
and schoolhouses. He gives the statistics
in schools and the value of school build
ings. SO long as the average citizen OF
the day is satisfied that the number Of
schools and the cost of school buildings
arc the final ard conclusive proof OF pro-
gress and efficiency in public education,
it seems almost hopeless to attempt
reform OF the system in the grave eVil
Of too many schools and schoolhouses.
Nearly every State Superintendent from
Maine to California. including Virginia,
have again and again uttered warnings
under tho head of too many schools.
They say that this evil leads TO the keep
ing IL commission schools that arc con-
tesseJiv5 too small in attendance to be Of
much pIbic benefit; to the lowering OF
teachers wages. the shortening of school
terms, and TO the appropriation of all the
money to the maintenance Of unneeded
primary schools at the expense Of the
secondary schools, which are needed,
and without which the public school sys-
tern will never be OF the value to the
people it ought to be.
DR.. Currys statement that the public

of the upper classes in the South because
Of q prejudice against it IS true only IN
part.
My experience, and I had twenty years
of experience as school trustee and county
superintendent WAS that the classes re-
ferred to did not object to the public
schools because they We're free schools,
but because, they We're poor schools and

familiar with the fact as a native born
Virginan would be. that Jefferson created
in Virginians the ideal of a higher edu-
cation, and that this ideal lived after
the war in greater or less degree.
The public school system imposed upon
Virginia by the Constitution under which
we live was in no sense an educational
scheme of our own people. ] t was cop
led, as was most of the constitutional
ordinances, from other Sta ties. Does any
rejecting man suppose for moment that
Il body of Nirginians could have built
up an educational system without refer
enceI to the great work our own jefferson
had done in that matter, and with no at
