fdence in the English law or the Amer
lean law preserving its fundamentals
as means of preventing crime?
Do we favor lynch law? No one who
has read the columns of this paper can
bring the charge. No paper has more
bitterly denounced lynching and we
still adhere to the opinions we have
time and again expressed. No people
have a right to do a thing illegally that
they can do legally. No people have
right to violate a law that they can re-
peal. If we insist on making our laws
protection for the guilty instead Of a
protection for the innocent, we must
not complain when the guilty escape and
we must not resort to illegal methods
to prevent them from escaping.
But let's tell the truth, the Times
Union and the men who read it. What
court makes feweSt mistakes? Is there
one reader of the Times Union who will
deny that this is Judge Lynch's court?
Is there Judge on the bench that will
claim that the court over which he pre-.
sides makes as few mistakes as are
made by the mObs that are unhampered
except by their ideas of justice?
In a sense the mob makes a mistake
every time, if we can use the mild WORD
mistake" as descriptive Of the crime
of murder. We are not using tn wore
in that sense, We mean to say that
not in one case in fifty do the court,
punish an innocent man, nor do they
adequately punish the guilty in one CASE
, in ten and oftener than not they inhict
, no punishment on the guilty at all.
The remedy is not lynch law nor TIT
, amendment of our criminal procedure
1t is in the complete ObliteratiOn of on
: present system and the adoption of ont
, that seeks to ascertain the truth rathe
= than to let ninety and nine guilty mel
escape. -TimeS-UniOn.
