A NATURAL RESULT.


tPeoria Journal)
Down at Cairo the sowing Of the
wind has been followed by the reap
ing Of the whirlwind.
The mayor of that city states that
in the past fifteen years there have
been numerous ni,rders in that city
and in no csse-and some of them
were cold-blooded--i4as any murder
been followed by an execution.
Complaisant iuries have either let
the criminals 60 free or have fixed a
minor and totally inadequate punish
ment for the meG who took the life
of fellowmen.
Consequently it is hardly a matter
of surprise to learn that enraged citi-
zens. when particularly aggravated
case of murder and outrage occurred,
with no faith that the monster would
meet his just punishment at the hands
of so,called justice, took the matter
in their own hands, and dealt out to
this particular murderer, the punish

guilty had escaped
Nor is there much wonder that fol-
lowing this, they took another muir
Gerer from the county Jail and strung
him up Although it is probable that
had it not been for the most recent
case the latter might have escaped
the vengeance of the mob, and in ali
probability been able to get out witf
mild punishment. as had been the
case with those others.
Mob law is fearful thing. 1t is
not defensible. But if there ever was
a case in which man met righS'
eous fate by unrighteous means, 1t
was that case down at Cairo, in which
black brute followed up his crime OF
outrage by killing his victim in order
to hide the evidences of his crime,
|. The mayor of Cairo, while not de
tending the lynching says that its eff
| feet will be salutary. That lis prob
ably true. No jury down there for
some time, with clear proofs of guilt

OPINIONS OF The EDITORS
ON CAIRO AND ITS TROUBLES

Downey, Of Cairo, when conducting
the funeral of Miss Pelly, the victim
of the diabolical lust of the negro
brute who paid with his life for his
terrible crime.
The laws, continued Father
Downey, will not be respected unless
they are enforced"
Let every citizen" he continued,
take an interest in civic affairs; sup
port men who are interested in the
welfale and reputation of the city;
support men with honest convictions;
men who will punish every offender
" Honest judges and honest
iuries constitute the foundation Of
the peace and happiness of a people
because they have the administration
of the law and when the law is justly
administered, then it commands re-
spect'.
The brief sentences quoted are as
applicable to one community as to
another and they put the case so
tersely and forcibly that it is we'll 70
call attention to their import. They
We're spoken by a man to whom their
truth had just been brought home in
a fearful manner. He realized that
the poor girl over whose dishonored
body he was holding the last rites of
her church. was as much the victim
of the criminal license allowed in the
community as she was of the brute
who assaulted her.
! The mob which wreaked the ven
geance of the outraged people was
another terrible evidence that law
lessness begets lawlessness, and
while we shudder to think OF the
savage passions displayed on such oc-
casions we KNOW that it was the
result of the failure OF the proper au-
thorities to reform civic conditions
that are an insult to law, to morals
and Christianity
| Man as long as he deserves the
name of man must protect his wom-
ankind, and when, as has been dem
onstrated to all who visit Cairo or
read the Cairo papers, the authori-
/ ties allow saturnalia of drunken
ness and crime because of the MON
ley of the liquor dealers they are
fUILTIER by far than the mob for
which their dereliction in enforcing
the law is RESPONSIBLE.
The conditions in Cairo are sim
ply the logical result of the enconr-
agement given to the liquor trade

accompanying dens of vice and unlim'

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

But for the wind changing when it
did, the Roberts Cotton Seed Oil mill
would have been totally destroyed the
other night, is the opinion Of persons
who were there The water pressure
was so miserable that the streams
went barely to the second story win
dows of the burning warehouse that
stood near the mill and broke into a
spray before they reached the window.
When the pump house was called up
and the man in charge there was
begged for more pressure. the reply
was that there was so pounds up
there and that was all the pipes
would stand. If this is true then
Cairo is indeed practically without
fire protection, If the extreme pres
sure possible win yield stream Of
less than Is feet elevation, the city
authorities need to see that some
thing is done at once to compel the
water company to give the people
the service they pay for.

Of one on trial, will dare hereafter to
let q murderer free Any jury that
would do this is little better than the
mob that corrected the faults of the
men who sat in judgment on this
class of offenders.
Governor Deneen says truly that it
casts a shadow on the good name of
the state. But after all, is, it much
worse than allowing notorious offend,
ers to 60 free under semblance of
Law? For mob heated with passion
there can be some excuse; for jury
men deliberately neglecting a duty
there can be none.

THE CAIRO LESSON.
ISt. Louis Post-Dispatch).

tSt. Louis Post-DiSpatCh).
There has not been an Official
hanging in Cairo for 10 or Is years,
and yet the city has had its share of
murders. JuIies have failed TO
convict in homicide cases In
fact. murder in Cairo has. | regret to
say, been tolerably safe :"
MAYOR PARSONS, OF CAIRO.
We need not go beyond the state
ment of the mayor of Cairo to find
the fundamental cause for the out
break of mob madness which result
ed in the killing of two accused men.
Add to the belief founded upon rec
Old of defeat in the courts. the legal
justice would fail, the hot indignation
caused by the brutal crime of the ne
gro rayisher and a lynehing was in
evitable The white man accused Of
wife murder was lynened to satiate
the bloodthirsty vengeance of an
aroused mob
But while the motive may be found
in the horrible crime and the distrust
of the machinery of law the opportu-
nifty was created by the bad judgment
of the sheriff and the apathy OF Gov.
Deneen. Instead of rallying around
him the forces of law and order to
protect his prisoner. the sheriff took
to the woods where capture was GER
tain. The governor did not awake to
the seriousness of the situation and
failed to keep himself informed of
the actual conditions existing in Cal
70. He admits that he did not read
the papers, which would have enlight-
ened him concerning the danger, but
waited for the sheriff to communicate
with him
There is no geographical boundary
to the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch
But whenever he does his bloody
work against the law, order and civil
lization the underlying cause will be
found in the failure of legal machin.
cry to do its proper WORK. The de-
feat Of justice under the law leads to
the temporary overthrow of ciyiliZa
ton and the reversion of barbarism
The lesson is plain. Let us perfect
the methods of civilization. When
they insure the certainty Of legal
justice we take away the last excuse
for anarchy.

sssssssssssssssssas'ssI1s'1ssiss'ssIs1s1sss


The public school teachers meet
ing. the regular weekly one, was
held at the high school yesterday
afternoon. The teachers each gave
their individual reports and later
the reports were discussed. The
chief topic was the use of tobacco
by students both in the grammar and
high schools Although the school
law forbids the USE of tobacco in any
form and provides penalty for the
same Although the school authori-
ties are trying to stamp out the evil
and have done so in many cases. TO
completely do away with the habit
among school children is Well nigh
impossible. And so although they are
constantly working against it, still the
feature of the habit that holds their
attention is compare its effect, es.
attention in school upon both users
and non-users. Especially do they
note the effect of reasoning, thinking
and studying powers and also what
effect 1t has upon the pupils DISPOSE
ton. After careful examination the
past few weeks they have found that
in almost every instance those who
abstain from the habit have better
capacity for learning, do better in
their studies, in fact make better
scholars in every respect.

who have been students at G. Fl. 5.
