No Excuse for Law and Order LEAGUE

No Excuse for Law and Order League
Meridian Star.
In any society governed by law,
the eXtra-legal agencies are superflu-
GUS and dangerous, because they lead
people to look elsewhere than to the
law for protection; these organiza-
tons are in themselves lawIess and
nearly always do more harm, in the
end than good. AS we have before
said, they are justified only where
the security Of society is menaced
through the impotency of officials.
Neither of these conditions exists in
Meridian or elsewhere in Mississippi
that we are aware of hence there is
no need for the organizations referred
to.
1t is a bad practice to encourage
the public to rely on any other agep-
cies than those provided in govern
ment for its security and safety; that
policy opens the way to anarchy, in
discrediting constituted authority, and
in tempting individuals to regulate
things according to their notions. If
this proceedings is sanctioned in one
direction it may be Indefinitely eX'
banded, until it becomes the reliance
of society, for its protection, instead
of the law That is the fundamental
objection to the extra-legal method,
and it should never be adopted except,
as said, where the constituted au-
thorities are insufficient or unfaith-
full.
This proposition finds such general
acceptance, than the organization of a

Taft in the visit he is making differ
ent parts Of the country Many may
differ from him on his expressed
views on certain questions, but for
the man himself and as chief magis-
trate of the nation there is nothing

It wifi probably be found, when
careful and exact investigation Is
made, that the recent damage done
along the Gulf of Mexico was due not
to tidal wave, strictly SO called, but
to a wave raised and cast inland by
the force of the terrific hurricane
which swept over the region When
ever a gigantic wave of water comes
ashore with such a cost to human life
and property the first reports refer
to the destruction as caused by tidal
wave, yet such waves are rare, and
by no means dreaded as much as is
the hurricane, which too frequently
sweeps across the Southern portion Of
the country. The power Of such gales
is tremendous, and hardly conceiy
ale to anyone who has not witnessed
their work. Such a wind has plenty
e strength to lift considerable body
Cf water from the Gulf and send i

pened in Louisiana.

Hill about the evil effects of the con

social conditions now enjoyed on the

for farm produce would turn the tide,
or at the very least check the flow,
but the hope has not been realized.
And yet ultimately 1t will come to
that. Smaller farms, extensive and
