Supports Lynch Law.

To the Editor OF The Times: In
your editorial OF Aug. II, you seem to
deeply deplore the lynching and die
order in Springfield, H. also agree
with you that far. but, Mr.. Editor. Is
there not a good reason for lynch law :.
II q woman In Detroit was outraged
by a black or white man, no matter
much who she might be. she would
have to go on the witness stand anc
go through the most humiliating dis
closures, be abused by attorneys; In
fact, man dropping in the court room
not familiar with the procedure would
suppose the woman was the party
guilty OF the heinous offence, and the
man who was guilty a martyr. Mr.
! Editor, you say the law OF the courts
works with sanity, with fairness, anil
establishes guilt before IT Furnishes.
can't agree with you. We have meu
In Detroit who the courts and Judges
have let go; that have committed
cold-blooded murder, and they arc
turned loose to prey on society.
Again: We have others now In Jail
awaiting trial for murder, that unless
the law is more effective In their case
than II has been in other cases. will
be at liberty. Now, Mr.. Editor. unless
we have different enforcement OF
law, we will have mob law or persons
In Detroit who viii take the law into
their own hands and make quick work
OF II. The cause of mob law Is the
lack OF the enforcement of law. We
have men and women tn-betrUtt- Who

he-walk around, go and come, and
enjoy TO all appearance all the good
things OF life. Yet they claim 10 be
honest and respectable, when IL the
law was enforced as it should be, they
would be behind the bars. Again.
Mr.. Editor, II is the lack OF the en-
forcement OF the law that makes mob

where the guilty man Is found, black
or white Is all right. I have been n

Farmers and the Campaign Fund.

In the amateurish play to the gal
leries that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Kern
make in the form of the joint appeal
for small contributions, there occurs
this paragraph:
There are hundreds of thousands of
farmers who are abundantly able TO
contribute 10 the campaign fund.
There are thousands who can
give 500 apiece withou, feel
ing it, there are tens of
thousands who could give $50 apiece
withour secrifice, and sill more who
could give S25, or 90 of S.. AS the
National Committee has not yet been
organized we ask the "Commoner" to
call for subscriptions 10 this farmers
fund. The farmers fund will be turned
over tothe National Committee as soor
as its permanent officers have been
selected. Who will be the first TO
respond? How many farmers will
join in furnishing the fund necessary 10
present the issues?
At a guess we should say very few
farmers indeed. There are admittedly
hundreds of thousands of farmers
abundantly able 10 contribute In
deed the prosperity of the American far
mer can hardly be overscated. But
that prosperity will not move him to
contribute to help elect Bryan or any
other Democrats candidate. For 1t Is
the result not only of Natures boun-
ty but of twelve years of Republican
rule, and is the most complete possible
refutation of the Democrats claim
that the prosperity. of the man
ufacturing industries under the
Republican Tariff system is gain
ed at the expense of The
agricultural industries. The far
mer's flushness, cited by Bryan and
Kern as a reason for his contributing
to their funds, is therefore the very
thing that will most incline him TO do
the exact opposite. He will contri-
butte not to the Bryan campaign fund,
but to the Republican campaign fund,
and he will not have TO be solicited
by Mr.. Taft to do it.either-Pitts-

Bryan and the Wool Growers.
Mckinley was elected through a mum

Mckinley was elected through q mum
Der of Rocky Mountain STATES when
had voted for Cleveland. These States
were Democratic because OF the large
mining population. They turned to
Mckinley on account of the severe pun
ishment they had received by placing
wool on the free list during the four
years of the lsfe of he Wilson Tariff
act which on the theory of free raw
material swep away the duy upon
wool and this nearly destroyed the
wool growing industry of the United
States; and if it had not been saved
by ;he Dingley act, which I stored the
Mckinley duties upon wool, the indus
try by the lime would have beenwiped
out in the United States. Bryan hopes
to carry Wisconsin, which is a wool
growing Safe and the Rocky Noun
tain wool growing States which vot-
ed for Cleveland The last time. APP
parently he expects the wool growers
to overlook the fact that the Repub-
lican platform expresses and defines
Protection to American industries,
particularly mentioning the farmer,
VINO is a wool grower.
Bryans election would be menace
to the wool grower in TWO ways.
The Democrats party mas defined is
at itude toward wool as a raw ma erial
although ii is the finished produc,
of the farmer. 1t takes a whole year
TO grow a fleece of wool, and in this
climate, where sheep are fed in win
ter, They are of drops which repersenI
labor and high-priced American labor,
whereas the competitor of the Ameri-
san wool grower is the wool grower OF
tine Southern Hemisphere (Aus rail-,
the Argentine Republic and South
Africa.) who has the advantage of
perennial pasture, and owing 20 this
advantage, the cost OF wool growing is
only onehalf OF that of the American
wool grower VINO in lhe S. a,e enumvr-
ated have TO feed their sheep in he
winter.
Another way to destroy the Ameri-
can wool grower would be by The des-
truction of the American Wooden Com
pany which consumes 40 per cent of
American wool, on the ground that IL
is trust. The American Wooden Con
pany is composed of what were former
some of the largest mills of the Unit
ed States. They are ,hus what Bry-
an would denominate a trust" and.
as his platform body declares that the
products Of trusts should be put on
the free lis, he would destroy lie mar
kei for what American wool be left.
Then, again, If. in order 20 strike
at the trust, he removes the 1uty
upon manufactures OF wool" he des-
troys the other GO per cent. Of the in
dependent mills outside or AZ Ameri-
