4 LAWLESS AGE.

Lawlessness breeds lawlessnesa
LynchmI does not lcsseh even the most
revolving crimes; it doubtless tends ia
increase il, for it tends to the destruc
ti"n OF all estraint. When society is
disorgnnized. the most brutal criminality
EXCUSES itself. Murder by II mob is GER
tamly no remedy for murder by an indi-
vidual. No limits can be set to the
measure Of decentralization r0ught hy a
single instance OF mob violence, No
matter how great the rrovocation, the
lenders of mob are the enemies OF So.
ciety. and the leaders OF II lynching mob
are murderers. Tho best OF causes can
only be injured by any lawless vioIer ce
Oh the part OF it's followers.
Lawlessnrss cannot be cured without
the adequate assertion ana manifestation
of the supremacy OF law. The sheriff,
police man, or soldier who dies defending
the supremacy Of law is also the heroic
martyr Of liberty, for without law the re
can he no liberty. Lawlessuess is not
sectional. Most communities are law
abiding, but the elements OF violence are
present in the most conservative OF them.
Some Of the most shocking OF the rece t
manifestations 81 lawlessness have been
i'll intelligent and hitherto respectable
communities, and their moral insanity
has not been confined to the idle, ignor.
ant, vicious or dangerous cIasses OF the
population. The completely OF prom.
iDent people is the most shameful part OF
the mob violence at Wellington and
Evansville. The growth or IL furious
mob is like the spread Of great coLfia-
grafton. L" resist it needs moral Trinci-
pie nad sometime :. heroic courage
