Letter from James A. Jasper.

cember 24th, under the caption Cattle mems Association," you publish an in- spired article-I say inspired" for the reason that it contains errors, which you have no interest in craming down the public throat, which wish to briefly notice.
 The ordinance referred to was prepar ed by the state veterinary and was passed at night session of the board on the telephone and telegraph request of Mr. Vail of Vail & Yates and Mr. Wilsie, the board acting on the presumption that a state official would not provide for an appointment not sanctioned by the law, subsequently,, however, we learned such was the case.
 The ordinance was not submitted to MT. Carter until we attempted to appoint an inspector and fix his compensation, as the ordinance contemplated, then we learned we were "up against the real thing" in attempting ''to create an office and fix the salary thereof" without authority of the statutes.
 Later another emergency arose in the valley; at least such representation was made through Mir. Lawrance, secretary of the chamber of commerce of Imperial, and he urged the board not to adjourn until favorable action was taken on petition to be forwarded the following day urging the appointment of MT. Wales as cattle inspector, saying Eve can look after the salary end of the matter later" or words to that effect.
 The appointment was made as re- quested, and now comes the sour milk in the cracked cocoanut. 1 quote from your last issue, "when his (Wales') bill with salary portion blank, came before the supervisors, the opinion was rendered by the district attorney that the state law did not provide for the payment of a salary to any such official. As the supervisors seemed to regard the well fare of Imperial Valley as less than techncality. Nothing was done, and not only was the salary refused, but livery hire, in answer to calls was also turned down. Accordingly an indigna- tion meeting of the cattle owners of Imperial Valley was called Wednesday night at the office of Water Company No. 1. w. E. Wilsie was elected chair man and D. D. Lawrence, secretary"
 The chairman of that indignation meeting is in possession of all the facts regarding the adoption of the ordinance and the secretary there regarding the appointment of Mir. Wales and now the public shall know the facts regarding the alleged Turning down" of Mir. Wales bills.
 At the December meeting of the Board, Mir. Wales sent me report ot his work as inspector, which was duly filed; he also sent statement of the time engaged in the work and the ex- penses incurred. The statement was not sworn to and could not be considered by the Board. 1 returned the state ment to MT. Wales with proper blank and full instructions for putting the

THE RENAISSANCE OF OUTRAGE.

II John Temple Graves, editor, ora
Tor, is fairly representative Of general
southern sentiment there is to be a
renaissance of the midnight rule that
followed the reconstruction of the de-
feated southern confederacy, and re-
yival OF the Ku Klux organization of
the sixties and early seventies. In his
newspaper, the Atlanta News. Mr..
Graves editorially advocates the Ku
Klux as the most effective agency that
the south has ever known against
crime and lawlessness and threatens
its revival in event of interference by
federal courts against lynching. He
says: I ssGSW
zone fact may be set down now and
hereafter as permanent and indestruct-
fble. and that Is that the white men OF
this southern country must protect and
will protect their women from the I'M
spaakable lust of unspeakable brutes,
and that neither law nor statutes nor
public opinion nor armed forces nor
/ federal courts nor any other courts
will prevent the stern expression OF the
popular horror and outrage toward this
greatest and most Internal of all hui
man crimes"
He makes his position plain and is
prolific In suggestion when he coun-
sells:

The little creature which possesses
the distinction Of having more legs
than any other animal is that which
belongs to the family Of insects known
as millepeds, or thousand footed. There
are several different species of these.
but they all possess thu common char
acteristic of having sesmented bodies,
each segment Of which Is provided
with it's own pair Of feet. These are
set SO closely along the body as to re-
semble hairs, and when they move one
after another with perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on
small scale as that Of field Of oats
undulating under the influence OF the
wind. Some species Of millepeds have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs. They are all perfectly harmless.
unlike the centipeds, which frequently
have the power of indicting poisonous
wounds.

fare the comfortable quarters, the ride

tude the last speech aud the publicity
which makes the criminal hero, and
the cynosure of u thousand eyes.
Putting these things away and deal
ing with a seventh century class. let
us surround the criminals of that civil
ization with the elements of darkness
| and mystery. which appeal to their
superstitious dread and carry more ter
ror than all the vengeance of modern
legal retrbution."
Allowing all the justification that
shameful outrage affords the mob, this
open advocacy of lynch law cannot fail
to jar upon northern ears and north
ern sensiblities. Whatever the cir
cumstances which evoked it, Mr.
Graves argument is directly subver-
sive of laws and courts and the pro-
lection organized society ss presumed
to afford He argues lyncn law pure
and simple, the domination of a sec
ton by secret organization and sem
fences to death by hidden judges, car
ried out under cover of darkness by
masked and hooded eXecutioners. 1t is
a return to seventh century methods
with a vengeance, a renaissance of old
Venice and the masks and mystery of
the era that made science of torture
and murder. The provocation that
leads men like Graves to such counsel
must be admittedly great, but it should
be made plain that there is no place
in America for Mollie M'Guires. the
Ku Klux or for the thumbscrews of the
seventh century.
There is no sympathy in the north
for the negro rapist who pays the PEN
atty for his deed one way or another.
He deserves death. But there is uni
which d southern mob seems unable to
take vengeance, and shock at the utter
disregard for the functions of law. A
violator of women puts himself beyond
ordinary sympathy and the mob that
in an impulse of outraged decency puts
him out of existence finds an answer
of excuse in the heart of the average
man, but a deliberate policy of mob
murder, an organized system of lynch
law in policed state is something
very different and vastly vicious. And
that is in effect what Mr.. Graves OPEN
ly advocates.
A revival Of the ku Klux means a
renewal of that reign of terror that
made freedom of expression and as
sumption Of political liberty fool
tenn of negro suppression has behind 1t
the domination of every white man
whose sentiments runs counter to the
peculiar organization which Graves
proposes to resurrect. 1t means the
suppression of white republicans, a
renaissance Of political outrage, the
the ostracism by force OF unpopular
northerners. 1t means that northern
man may choose between owning him
self and a residence in Georgia. Mr..
Graves suggestion is not likely to en-
courage an influx of northern men and
money into his state. 1t will also
suggest to the minds of, many that a
federal grand jury can deal with Ku
Klux almost as effectively as it can
with a mob.
