Not Only Prosperity But
Good Name of Kentucky
Endangered.


acterizing the situation in Kentucky
as regards night riding as crisis in
the history of the Commonwealth,
and calling upon all true citizens to
rouse themselves and organize for
the defense of property and the hon
or of their State, the Law and Or
der League of Kentucky last even
ing issued an address to the citizens
Of Kentucky. The manuscript, the
preparation of which was directed
by resolution, was prepared by
Judge Alex. P. Humphrey, and has
been, or will be, scattered broad
cast over the whole State.
Address to KeDtuCkians.
The text of the address to the
public is as follows:
Fellow-citize of Kentucky:-A
crisis has arisen in the history of
Kentucky which demands the best
thought. the highest patriotism, the
sternest resolution on the part of
honest and law-abiding citizens. The
patriotism of Kentuckians has led
them to respect and to obey the law;
courage and honor have led them to
defend and to enforce it at the ex-
pense of fortune and of life. The
result has been peace with honor.
Throughout the State men have
felt safe in their homes, in their
property, in their persons; especially
have they felt secure against secret
assault and against mob violence.
Every citizen who reads or hears,
knows the details of recent occur
rences. They are too humiliating
and disgraceful to the State and to
her people to be rehearsed. The
men engaged in such work are not
Kentuckians, or they are renegade
Kentuckians. They have renowned
every virtue of the Kentuckian; his
honor, his courage, his patriotism.
Fellow-ci citizens, we call upon you
to organize for the defense of your
homes, your persons, for defense of
the persons and homes of your
neighbors, for defense of the honor
of your State. Organize public
opinion in your city and your coun-
ty. This, if done in a spirit of true
patriotism, will be effective. At
present this seems to be The most eff
fective method of redress. Organ
ize. Let all who violate the law
know that you are organized to up
hold the law; to enforce justice; to
force your law officers to do their
duty regardless of who may suffer.
Give all to know that you are or
ganized to suppress lawlessness from
whatever quarter or in whatever
form it may come; above all, that
you are resolved to rid your State of
the disgrace and dishonor inflicted
upon her by midnight assaults of
masked men upon defenseless peo-
pie.
Not only the honor of your State,
but her material intel ests, demand
action, firm. resolute and general,
on the part of all good citizens. The
injury done and threatened is meal
culable. 1t is irreparable except by
the force of organized public opin-
ion and action.
The immediate formation of law
and order leagues in every city and
county is earnestly urged and the
cooperation vi the State organiza-
ton is pledged to the furtherance of
such plan. Blank forms will be
supplied by the secretary.
