Colorado referred to the lynch law doctrine.
 One mob can do more injury to so- ciety," he said, than twenty mur- ders, because lynching permeates the entire community and produces anar- chy. The influence of mob rule is most reprehensible- When laws are made it should be the duty of a gov ernor to enforce them, whether he ap- proves them or not. When the law prescribes hanging for an offense and man is found guilty he should be hung, whether white or black, and there Is no excuse for mob law. I conceive it to be our duty as govern ors to declare for law and order"

LONE coNGREssMEN {,
 LIKELY TO "CUT UP"
Mann Believes They Should Have
 Families at Washington.

 The house. sitting as a committee of the whole, devoted nearly all of to- days session to consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial ap- propria tion bill.
