4 W4PyING TO LYYcHERS.

The assertion OF the supreme Court of
its authority and dignity in imposing jail
sentences on a sheriff, jailer and others
responsible in part for the lynchins Of
prisoner whose appeal the court had
under consideration is welcome not only
as 4 vindication of the nations judicial
power. but Is a precedent which may
lead other tribunals TO take notice or
similar affrOnts. The violence of mob,
abetted by the negligence OF sheriffs or
jailers ia charge of prisoners. is con-
stantly taking cases out Of the hands OF
the courts and nullifying the processes
OF justice. Ii the courts. high and low.
unite TO punish for contempt those who
lawlessly invade their jurisdiction and
those who fail 10 use due diligence in
checking that invasion, though under
oath TO keep prisoners In safe custody,
there may be an end 10 incidents Ike
those Of last week in Cairo. Ill, which
lower onr self-respect and discredit or
civilization
The Supreme Court has seldom been
called upon 10 punish contempt. Its proc
esses have been generally respected. But
the insane passion for mob violence
which has been allowed 10 flourish in 50
many communities has no regard for ira
ditions or Jurisdictions, and when the
occasion came il brushed aside the ail-
thority of the highest court just as reck-
lesSly "a IL has so often outraged the
dignity of lower tribunals. The Supreme
Court is not prepared, however, 10 sit
passive under such an insult. 1t has
hunted down and punished those VINO
defied IT, Would that the state courts
had shown the same determination in
yisiting similar contempt with adequate
penalties. The lyncbiDg habit will be
abandoned when defiant mobs and half
hearted sheriffs are dealt with not only
a. disturbers Of the peace, but as yiolat-
is of judicial prerogatives.
