PUNISH THE MOB.

Judge Bilbro's attitude on the lynch
ing question expressed in his charge to
the grand jury OF Jackson County, Ala,
Is indicative OF the right spirit 1t is
severe, and considering the circumstan-
ces, some may think almost too severe,
but the lynching evil must stop, and it is
the duty of the courts to stop it, not on
ly by prompt avengng of the deed,
but also by equally as prompt punish
ment OF those who usurp the privilege
of the law in hot blood
To shed the blood of even the
most vile is contrary to divine decree,
and mob violence, which now seems to
be confined to no particular portion OF
our country, is an educational factor
that will hardly rebound to the credit
of our country, or promote the advance.
ment of civilization.
1t is too dangerous a precedent tC
place before the growing generation
and may result in placing us in the
same degree of volatileness and efferyes
cence that characterizes the South
American States. In that event ouI
prestige as world power would cease
and instead OF being the leader of ma
tions we should become the laughing
stock of nations.
Let the vicious and insane lynchinI
habit be stopped, but TO do so let tn
court without subterfuge or evasio
act promptly to the satisfaction of tn
people,
