Did More Than His Duty.

The people of Springfield are indebt-
ed to Governor Deneen for the prompt
measures he took to protect their lives
and their property-how much no one
will ever know. With undaunted cour-
age and thinking only of the welfare
of the city, he adopted the most Wig
orous measures and did things right
at the very first move. In a remark
ably short time thousands of the states
soldiers were on duty in the city. They
came on almost every train and were
quickly assigned to their stations.
There are now four thousand troops
on guard here. Peace and quiet has
been restored and there is every in
dication now that the end of the reign
Of the mob is at hand.
Not content with having provided
complete military protection for the
city, Governor Deneen is now lending
his vigorous support, personal and of
fetal, to the prosecution of the riot
ers. His record as a relentless, but
just prosecutor of criminals is one
which is known throughout the cOun-
try, and the fact that he has taken a
hand in the Springfield affair strikes
terror to the hearts of the guilty and
inspires the law-abiding with courage
and confidence. The fearless conduct
of the governor at this time is more
than commendable-it is superb.
There are many, no doubt, who fan
to appreciate to the full extent just
what Governor Deneen has done for
Springfield. That he merely did his
duty is taken as a matter of course
and given little. thought. Have you
stopped to think a moment how few
men, situated as is the governor,
would do their duty in case of this
kind? Have you thought of how some
men would have dallied and procras-
tinated? How they would have cal
culated the cost to their personal am
billions? How vacillating and unde-
cided they would have been until many
lives had

The prompt and vigorous action

OF even more significance than this
performance of plain duty was his
eloquent condemnation Of lawlessness
and his unequivocal assertion that it
is to be put down at any cost.
Thus, whatever the crimes of blacks
or of whites, the state of Illinois
through its highest officia' agency, es-
capes responsibility. 1t does not tenn

We are face to face with conditions
which call for great firmness and cour-
age on the part of all who are charged
with the duties of government. Mobs
form in an hour melted at first by
specific grievance, they quickly become
mere marauders. Inhamed at mon
strous crimes, they perpetrate even
greater ones. Blatant,y pretending to
execute a kind of wild justice, they
must, unless soon checked, destroy JUS
tice and law and peace.
The situation at Springfield was an
evil one, but it appears to have been
met by the authorities with commend
able vigor and bravery. When order
has been fully restored they should
proceed resolutely to the punishment
of the guilty.-New York World.

An Ideal Executive.

Governor Deneen has been a tower
Of strength to the stricken people of
Springfield in their hour Of dire need.
In the prompt measures he has taken
to assist the local officers of the law
in their endeavor to restore peace and
order he has shown the fiber of which
he is made. He has set the pace for
those executive officers who temporze
and falter in the face of danger. When
he said the entire resources of the
state would be drawn upon to protect
every citizen of Springfield in his per-
son and property he meant it, ana ne
already had acted to carry this dec
iaration into effect. AS soon as he
was informed of the conditions exist
ing he Immediately called out the Ma
tional Guard and such was the suffi-
cheney of the arrangements for their
transportation that they Ere az their
post of duty before the lux had hard
ly dried upon the order Brave, reso-
lutte and strong: wise, temperate and
just, Governor Deneen has within him
that combination Of qualities which go
to make up the character of an ideal
xecutive.-Illinois State Journal.

Highest Citizenship Supports Him.
There is no place for mob law in civ
ilized American states. Men who take
the work of the authorities into their
own hands invite self-destruction, with
the honest, order-loving part of the
public as an approving audience. Gov
ernor Deneen will be applauded for
his vigorous action in the present in
stance. Sound citizenship everywhere
will be back of him in his efforts to
suppress mob rule in the great state
of Illinois.-St. Louis Times.
