Vigorous Truth.

Thomas w. Lawson is some
what strenuous in all things
his attacks on 'frenzied finance"
for example. and his language
with reference to the penalty
that ought to be melted out to
Richeson, confessed and coward
ly murderer of Avis Linnell, is
equally vigorous. Therein is
contained merited tribute to
the respect which the men of the
South pay to womanhood, with
the showing that, deep down in
the hearts of all men, there is no
pity for the slayer of woman and
but small-very small, if any,
sympathy for the assailant of
woman who dies at the hands of
the mob. Writing to District
Attorney Pelletier on the degree
of penalty that ought to be met
ed out to Richeson, Mr.. Lawson
said:
Better a million times, by far
that we of the chill blood of the
North should take example of
our virture-worshiping, unbridled
license hating brothers of the
south and lynch and burn, that
than We stand idly by and let the
ulcered Drained sentimentalists
police our highways and churches
and byways. 1t IS up
to you, Mr.. District Attorney,
and to your brothers of the law
10 answer! And heaven help
you and them if your answer
wins the applause of these yellow
Drained propagators of unspeak-
able crime"
That was vigorous-but true!
WomanhOod is protected in the
South by the law and by the
manhood of the South, and the
sickly sentimentalism manifest
ing itself in Boston for a COM
mutation of the death sentence
which District Attorney Pelle-
tier insists Is the one adequate
penalty, is stirring up the Boston
men and women to the demand
that the murderer ought to be
punished, and not given a prison
sentence. from which a pardon
may free him. 1t is reported
that Governor Foss is opposed to
capital yenishment. But if
capital punishment be wrong,
wipe it from the statue books!
1t is on the statute books now, |
and Richeson deserved it, just as
Beatty, of Virginia, deserved it
and got it. When murderers find
that they will be rightly punish
ed, murders will diminish in
numbers. -Owensboro Messen-
ger.
