into the state treasury and at the
same time listing for local taxation
much property that for many years
was successfully concealed, and 1t
takes blind partisan indeed to
deny the alert and business-like
methods that have been employed
by Commissioner White and his euc-
cessors. To abolish the tax commits
sioner's Office is to foster tax-dodg-
ing, and the more tax-dodgers we
have, the worse it IS for honest folk.
Our present system of taxation is
very good, even If It was inaugurated
by an opposition political party. 1t
Increased the taxable basis of the
railroads OF this state from $S8.-
100000 to about $3.50, 1000, 900,
relieving the agricultural interests
and the plain people of an unjust
burden that they had long carried,
and the only change needed is to put
similar increase upon the coal and
gas and oil properties of West Viz
ginia. We believe that the pro-
pogd tinkering with the tax laws is
a deliberate piece of rascality by tho
corporate interests that are now in
the saddle at Charleston.

Although duly warned, the people

They are awakening to the fact that
that is exactly what they did do and
they are not at all pleased with the
result.

OF the evidence adduced at the
Tidal q William Furnish, negro,
charged rayishing Miss Flora
Anglih white woman, IN Lewis
county the night before Christmas,
= iiry q twelve men not residing
n u near the nesghDorhood, in
wltIel ne crime was committed, re-
tulned verdict Of guilty. The ac-
ensed person denied his guilt and
he protests his innocence. How
eyer he was unable to establish his
innoeeaee and the evidence against
amply suficient to convict
Him q the state had not made a
eomplete case against him, the trial
tiage would have granted the mo-
ton for new trial as his conduct
sof tie ease from beginning to end
based squarely on justice, fair
ness and Importantly.
The jury itself decided the ne
gre,s late. IT'S verdict by operation
ct law carried with 1t the death
sentenee, and it fell upon the judge
only TO pronounce sentence and Ak
the date for execution. IN view OF
the evidence before the jury there
can lie no Just criticism of the action
o. that bodg. except by those who
object TO the existence of a law
providing that the state may take
human life. Complaint, therefore,
4 any one has any to make, should
be made against the law and not
the Jury.
In5this case as well as in most OF
its kind hue and cry at first went
UP that justice is too long delayed
by the courts and the chances OF the
guilty to escape punishment too
many, in other words, assertions
were made that the courts are too
lax in enforcing the laws. But in
this case as In almost all of it's kind,
there is reason to believe that lit
tie thought was given to what the
court was. likely to do or how quictS-
ly 1T would act. The real incentive
in most resorts to mob violence is
the anger that seizes men and wo-
men against such fiends. They not
only demand the fend's life but are
also ready to take it summarily,
however much they may cry out
against the courts. Even there are
thoae now who are earnest in the
belief that the fellow should have
been strung up without process of
law. Many of these. latter have deep
respect for courts, too.
No matter how speedy the courts
may be in melting out justice, 1t is
true that some crimes are so re-
pulsiye and horr!fying that there
will ever be many not satisfied to
abide the time the operation OF
courts requires, however brief, he
fore vengeance can be wrought, and
mob law will continue. AS this is
true. It is not enough to declare that
speedy Justice in cases of criminal
assault, murder and the like is suf-
flele to break up lyinchings and to
overcome the desire to lynch per-
sons CHARGED with such heinous
crimes. Bur speedy justice coupled
with vigorous prosecution and
severe punishment OF those who try
TO take the law into their own hands
win prove effective fin eliminating
criminal assault and lynchings from
the states future history.
