Latest Kansas Events.
Gov. Bailey ON Lynching.

81 am not in favor of lynching, be-
cause it is violation of our laws, but
do advocate legislation that will ex-
pedite matters in bringing to speedier
justice men who commit such afro
cious crimes as have caused a number
of lynchings in our state" declared
Gov w. J. Bailey. Mob law, as a
rule, is adopted by a body of men
who act in the heat of passion, and
while the horror of whatever crime
causes them to resort to it is still
fresh in their minds. 1t is deplorable
in the extreme, this lynching busi-
ness, and I am not sure but that
great deal of it could be done away
with if our criminal laws admitted OF
infiicting punishment upon guilty per-
sons without the usual delays so COM
mon in every state. There is no doubt
but that many lynchings occur be-
cause the mob looks upon the usual
procedure as too slow form of JUS
tice to tit the crime" Gov. Bailey
was then asked if he favored capital
punishment, bus upon this point he
refused to talk.

there was "a difference all around" as
he expressed it. The passing remark

doing better. His business had picked
up surprisingly. One day he cleaned
up $4,000 in a close transaction, and
his friends opened their eyes.
