MOB LAW.

President Roosevelt's utterances
regarding mob law are timely and
worthy of the most careful consid'
Grafton. All good citizens depiore
mob law, as they should; and that
obedience to the laws of the land is
good thing, and in reality one OF
the safeguards of the republic none
will question or deny; but
Suppose you had a beautiful
daughter just budding into woman
hood; she is your pride, the flower
of your home, the apple of your eye
suppose some brute in human
form should ravish herr Are not
the courts too slow? Even if the
courts should rush matters and
give the fend speedy trial and
sentence, think of the shame, hu-
initiation and disgrace your be-
loved child must undergo and en-
dure by being compelled to go
upon the witness stand and tell of
the assault, when the court room is
crowded, as it always is when such
cases go to trial. Your daughter is
already ruined, her reputation is
blasted, she would be vastly better
off if she were dead-do you think
the dignity of the law should be
upheled? We are addressing you
as father: Don't you think you
would find more satisfaction in
helping pull the brute up by a
good stout rope? Hasn't your
daughter suffered enough without
going into a crowded court room
to TESTIFY
Human nature is just the same
the country over. Let the matter
be brought home to you. Where
would you stand. Law is good
thing-a fine thing, but

Easter services at all the churches
were largely attended Sunday, and
the Graphic regrets that a lack Of
time to secure the details OF the scr
vices prevents any extended notice of
them While the weather man said
it was going to be a rainy Sunday, and
of weather, he had probably not heard
from the ladies with new Easter hats
and costumes to be put on exhibition
at the various churches for the first
time, but later discovered his mistake
ann proceeded to do all in his power
to rectify it. He had gone too far to
head off the gloomy weather entirely
and substitute a day of bright sun
SINE, and while it was cloudy much
1f the day be put the clouds on their
good behavior. and there was no rain
d:cept the falling Of few drops in
after the millinery exhibition was over
and had been a grand success. The
ladies Of Pine Bluff now have . re0re
complimentary opinion Of tie weather
man than they had iust after they read
his telegram saying that he was &c
ing to send rain Sunday. 1t takes
mighty stubborn man to stand pat
when all the ladies are against him.

all the churches, appropriate to the
day.
