port was made that the purpose OF

THE PEOPLE AND THE BENCH.


To Judge Reed, to Judge Wells and
to other fearless judges throughout
the state who, at peril of their own
position and in times at peril to their
own lives, have spoken for the main
tenaEce of the law, have put in mo-

This is no time for hysteria, but Il

writer has said that a sense of duty

sciences need to be quickened by an
appeal to their better natures and
their higher instincts.

fervor and eloquence, can appeal to

sense of obligation as members of a
self-governing community in order ia
bring them to the support of those
officers of the law who are ready 10
do their sworn duty and 10 bring TO
punishment men who have defied the
state itself.
Until every man is safe from in
tlmidation, from raiders, from Ku-
klux klans, no man is safe. Today
these men have one object OF attack,
and tomorrow another The first pur-
pose was to compel men to pool their
crops. The second was to compel
men to abandon raising tobacco alto
