Why Not BefOre4

Editor The Advertiser:
 About a year ago farmers in Bar bour and Pike counties complained that a band of outlaws were driving off their negro hands from their farms and had declared negroes should not be allowed to work them. The United States grand jury at Montgomery promptly indicted them, because such acts of violence done to prevent ne- groes. as such, from working on these farms. was a violation of the Consti- tuition and laws of the United States, None of the present defenders of mob law then saw any invasion of States rights, or any danger to. the white peo- pie In the indictment of the offenders. They rather thought 1t a good thing for the Federal Court to take a hand.
 People who have kept up with af- fairs in Arkansas know that both the Federal Judges there, one of whom is State rights man. of the straightest kind and a Democrat, took the same view of white-capping there, and they effectually put an end to 1t. No news paper in the South. made the slightest criticism of the doctrine then. Why not? The only difference Is that an election was mot then pending, which of course can not make any difYerenca as to the correctness of law point
