wander as tramps, Migrants and
semi-criminals, need a rural mount
ed police %patrolling the country high
way. IF the States keep the peace
the mob will, too. The States need
also a sharper edge and a heavier
hand for the tramp and vagrant. A
man of this class and habit convicted
of violent crime should be kept un-
der watch all his life. If his crime
be of this character, or even if it be
attempted, he should never be left
able to repeat it.
This policy, persisted in, would
end lynching by removing it's cause.
Nothing else will. A rural police
which rounded up tramps and va
grants at sight would soon rid our
country roads and lanes of the ter
o and horror that now broods over
them for women, and out of this ter
ror and horror, when crimes come,
mobs grow.
In all of hal is the wisest sort of
suggestion for the South. If a ru-
raj police is such d pressing neces-
sity for the protection of women
from the human wolf in Pennsylva-
MIA, where the population averages
40 to the square mile, and in Della
ware, where it averages "a, how much
more pressing must it be in such
States as Florida, with less than 10
persons to the square mile, as Texas
with II, as Arkansas with "A, as Ala
bama with 35, or as Georgia with 81
persons to the square mile?
Thinking men have long ago reach
ed the conclusion that a revival in
modified form to meet changed con-
ditions of the old patrol system is
essential to the well-being not only
of the South, but of other portions
of the country, and an attempt to
meet the exigency was made in a bill
introduced last fall by Mr.. R. B.
Blackburn in the Georgia Legislature
providing for the establishment of
a State patrol force~of probably TO-
900 men. Mr.. Blackburn set forth at
the time in the Manufacturers Rec
ord the features of the bill, which,
put into effect, would undoubtedly
have proved a deterrent of crime and
misdemeanors costly to the State,
and also the means for the prompt
administration of the law to a saving
for the taxpayers and for the sup
preston of vagrancy, the parent of
so man ills in the rural districts.
That bill, we believe, is still on the
table of the Georgia house of repre-
sentatives. 1t should be taken there
from and promptly passed as an in
centive to other Southern States and
to the rest of the country to take
the proper steps for the betterment
of rural conditions, and especially
for the protection of women from the

PATROL SYSTEM FOR COUNTRY
DISTRICTS.

II Is hOG
rbio Press is able to make a sug-
r,s+ion of value to the South. 1t
hos done so signally, however, in an
EDITORIAL referring to the lynching of
the negro White in Delaware. 1t
,ront to the root of the matter when
+ said that the lynching was posi-
HE because Delaware, like other
States. had neglected it's duty to
keep the peace. 1t added:
The country road is not safe to wo-
men in many parts of the country.
This was true in Delaware. It is
truo in many counties in this State,
notieeably along our great railroad
lines, though hot through their fault.
The human wolf is always abroad.
Sometimes he is a negro and some
times a white man. In either case
our States make no provision to de-
fpnd the highway against him. Of
lenses like that for which this man
was lynched are rare OH the seques-
tered unbuilt roads every city has,
because its highways are patrolled by
police.
Women in the countryside and on
the country highway have a right to
the same protection as their sisters
in the city. A mounted rural police
should network rural highways. It
should be paid by the State, through
a tax on property, an impost most
of which the cities would pay. If
Delaware had taxed it's corporations
and city property; with a fair re1a-
tive tax OH farms, to provide a rural
police and keep the roads safe, this
crime would never have been com
mitted. 1t is because the State leaves
its rural highways lawless and unde-
Tended against the human wolf that
Iawless mObs take the law into their
W hands. Make the roads safe to
women by a State rural police which
relieves the countryside of the hid
eOus horror which now overshadows
1t for all lonely women, and lynching
would disappear.
Our States neglect this duty. They
neglect another. This particular hui
man wolf had served a term for this
ottense. No man ought to leave a
state prison after a conviction for
this otfense or it's attempt until the
prison surgeon had made it impos-
Sl0Ie to repeat offense or attempt.
Inc way to prevent lawlessness in the
mob Is to prevent lawlessness in the
criminal. Begin there and the mob
Will never be heard from.
Our laws instead let these things
drift. The roads are not safe for
lack OF a rural police. A human wolf

They had made these from tin and wire

Judging from the contents of let

he says:

shipped from Lucky Jack Melted nearly
$4,000, averaging nearly $3.50 to the
sack. New prospects are being opened
right along that are proving bOnanzas.
There has just been a shipment of 200
sacks of ore from the Marcus and Gill
