campaign in behalf of the park bill LOT
the Appalachian reserve was discussed.
An effort will probably be made to secure

The Watts law is being discussed IN

lynching. A resentment on the part of
the mob toward the prisoner because of
the atrociousness of his crime, and fear
that he may by some technicahty of the
law or some exercise of executive elem
cncy escape the death that he is believed
to richly deserve. For the first of these
there is little remedy beyond the cultiva-
ton of Christian virtue and the spread
of civilization.
But the second cause.-The laws delay
and the laws uncertainty and unreliable
ty--is susceptible of almost immediate
remedy. Let the courts be less slow to
act and more certain in punishment where
there is no doubt of guilt, and there will
be fewer resorts to mob violence. 1t now
too often happens that when a criminal
gets into the custody of the law he stays
there for months, and not infrequently
punishment is never visited upon him.
Let the law be made truly majestic
through the swiftness, sternncss and
promptness with which criminals are pun
ished, and the suffciency and thorough
ness with which society is protected AM
the peace and dignity of the State are
preserved But let the impression get
abroad that this will not be done, or
that if conviction is finally secured there
is possibility of executive clemency be-
ing extended and the lynching business
will continue.
1t is hardly putting it too strongly to
saw that lynchinp should he regarded nv
the ministers of justice not as mere act
of lawless violence and mob ferocity, but
as an indictment for inefficiency of the
machinery Of the law and its failure to
protect society.

To the Editor: AS some of the news
papers in the State courteously criticised
Judge Browns decision, upon the applica-
ton for bail of the Wilson prisoners, that
UPON all the evidence, il guilty, the crime
was murder in the second degree, and
therefore bailable, in common fairness
those papers should note the fact that
the able Solicitor and his astute associates
tried all the defendants for murder In
second degree only, thereby confirming
Judge Browns ruling and admitting that
there was no evidence of murder in the
first degree. Judge Shaw, who tried the
case, admitted these defendants to bail
