Mob Law

He who would rightly read be-
tween the lines of the recent Cairo,
ILL.,, horror would see things that, 10
say the least, are calculated to make
one think. We have no sort of sy M
pathy for mob law. 1t is anarchy.
Mobs have neither sense nor mercy
and are mino taurs, coming from the
labyrinths Of the body polite to de-
YOUR whom they may. But for every
effect there is an adequate cause and
there IS a reason for the mob. 1t is
merely public sentiment finding ex-
preston in the most effective way
ard doing so because the ordinary
machinery is broken down, hampered
or insufficient. The enforcement of
law and the just assessment against
criminals Of the penalty Of their
crimes is well nigh impossible with
modern legal technicalities and the
procedure or the criminal courts. 1t
is no longer a question of guilty or
innocent, but of who has the sharpest
attorney, the state or the accused.
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1908-191?, 1909-11-17

In fact the merits of the case are
not sought for; the state assumes the
guilt Of the party, the defense his in
nocence. Every effort that techical
procedure and code pleading can pos
sibly give rise to is resorted to, to
cleat the man and cheat justice and
impose on society.
We have sat in court and heard at
t,rneys for the defense browbeat and
seek to intimidateI witnesses in order
to make them contradict themselves
by all sorts of catch questions
and then after thoroughly be-fuddling
them appeal to the jury TO note the
inconsistency of their testimony. So
the crime goes too often unwhippee-
the malefactor is turned loose on So
ciety to repea. It, ana as conse.
quence when some atrocity.is commits
ed that shocks public sentiment and
rouses public indignation. we have
mobs We have them north and south
and east and west and wherever such
conditions are permitted to exist ard
only force can over awe them and
hold them in check. The French Rev
olution was the work of mob. They
