The causes and effects of lynohing
have been discussed. and ably so, for
great many years, but no one has
yet suggested sure cure for the
lynching itself. In some places they
lynch men for stealing, in some for
murder, in some for worse crimes,
while in other places they don't lynch
them at all. There will have TO be a
decided change in one or two ways,
however, before mob law is sup
pressed. One is in the criminal and
the other in the people who compose
mobs. IL men cannot be educated,
persuaded or compelled to desist from
crime, those who do not wait for the
law to take its course must be edu-
Gated, persuaded or compelled to leave
the punishment to the proper authori-
ties, and vice versa. II neither can
be done it seems that lynohing will
continue despite all that may be said
against it.

KENTUOKY'S DUTY.
Chicago Record Herald. }

All parts of the United States have
united during the last few weeks in
an emphatic demand upon the state OF
Kentucky to put an end to the rule Of
feudists in her semi-civilized noun
tain counties. The local anarchy ex-
listing in these counties shames the
whole nation. The power to suppress
it is, however, Kentucky's alone. The
national demand upon Kentucky is
rightfully made.
Governor Beckham has heard the
call, but he has heard it only as a ma
licious SANDER upon the fair name of
his state. He has answered it with a
public statement, filed with the spirit
Of resentment ana lapsing into puerih.
ties of partisan denunciations. He
seems to fail utterly to recognize the
nature of the problem which the ma
tion asks his state to solve.
How far astray he goes is clear from
the way in which he drags the sssassi-
nation of Governor Goebel into the
argument. Why bother with the
little crimes Of Breathitt county. he
asks in effect, while the memory of
this more heinous crime is still fresh
But was it not the very spirit of
Breathitt county that manifested itself
in the killing of Goebel; Feudists
were among the oonspirators; a feudist
probably fred the fatal shot. Had
Kentucky suppressed her feudists
years ago she would not now have her
annals stained by this eliminating
crime
Governor Beekham may or may rot
have power TO take this or that par
ticular step in the work of re-estab-
lisnIng the reign of law in the feud (
counties. But certainly some way
can be found to make government a
reality and not farce. He is enter /
ing upon a campaign for reelection,
and his present Examinations may
seem to him to be a good campaign
1t is to be hoped that he
will change his mind and make the
race on a platform whose chief plank
will be Flaw and order for the entire
state. Kentucky has been bloody
ground" long enough.
