LAWLESSNESS.

Thee has been a pandmonium OF
crime throughout Kentucky and
Tennessee in the last year. All re-
stFaints of law and order seenllto have
been token. In Tennesseeweh avethc
dreadful murder of prominent law
yer with seemingly no trace of his
assas:;ins. In neighboring county,
we have a man who aspires to county
Office warned by so-called night nd
ers that he runs at peril Of his life.
And all because he is vigorous in his
denunciations of midnight crimes.
These things grow of themselves.
If the law is not enforced, and en-
forced vigorously against partic-
Mar crime, we soon see a series Of
the same kinds of crime committed.
We ahudder at the horrors of
Breatfitt county, and ''Bloody
Breathitt" is known from one end
of America to another as the home
of the UNPUBLISHED murderer. But
nearly all the crimes Of that noun
tain county were individual ones.
Now al through the State, we have
bodies of men riding through the
neighbolhood at night taking ven
geance fer fancied wrongs.
At first, the night riders scraped
tobacco beds because men would not
cut out the growing of tobacco. Then
their immunity from arrest and i'm
prisonment gave the lawless element
their chance. If a neighbor did not
like a neighbor, if there was an old
standing grudge, it was easy to touch
a match to barn. 1t was reported
as the work of night riders.
Now, the lawlessness hasprogresed
SO that we have band of masked
men ride to hotel and take
from its portals two men, ride off
with them and murder one.
Where is this thing going to stop?
It is far more important to Ken
fucky that we have the law enforced,
that we have crime punished quickly
and sdrely than that7either Bryan or
Taft be elected President of the Unit
ed States. 1t is far better for our
good name and our future prosper
ity, that man can sleep securely
In his own home at night, than that
we argue and discuss and spend our
time eleeting President.
We were In New York last summer.
While visiting a friend, we were
asked why we lived in such a law
less and half civilized State as Ken
tneky. Our friend had read of the
Breathitt feud. The fact that we
lived in the then peaceful Blue Grass
made no difference in his estima-
ton of the State.% He did not differ
entiate between the mountains and
the Blue Grass.
And now with crimes of violence
all over the commonwealth, how
much stronger must be that feeling
through the country. We are not
only punished at home; but capital
and immigration, both of which we
need above all else to develop our re-
sources, will not come here. Cali
fornia, State about fifty years old,
has nearly the population of Ken
tucky established long over a hun
dred years. Oklahoma, an infant
State, IS fast overtaking us In popu-
lation and in wealth. And the griev-
ions thing about it all, is, that it is
our own fault.
