GILCnRIST GIVES
VIEWS ON LyNCHING

Tallahassee, April Is. Gov Gil
christ this morning received Il tele.
gram from Washington Post, Il news
paper, stating that President Taft in
il speech last night, declared tina.
lynrhing forms disgraceful pagc
IN our history. The men who pull
the rope should hang by the rope
The Washington Post asked the
governor to wire in his views on the
matter.
Gov. Gilchrist replied AS follows
"RcplyinS: Lyhching is dcplOrabl"
and should be prevented whenever
poeaiblc. I.ynching is due largely to
.lc incilicicncy of the courts and t.
principle guiding the courts. I'm the
Bill of Rights Of practically every
State there is substantially the fol-
lowing: No one shall be deprived
of life, liberty or the pursuit of hap
piness without due process of law.
There is also the following: Right
and justice shall not be denied or de-
layed.'
whenever right and justice butts
up against due process of law, right
and justice are side trackcd-due
process of law having the right Of
way. Courts are too often operated
on the principle that due process of
law is the end and aim of all law
rather than right and justice. The
delay incident to such necessarily
causes the people to decide the case
before the courts act. rather than
wait. as Col. Roosevelt has suggest
ed, and decide the case after the
courts have acted. Judge Lynch nat
urally presides.
However reprehensible lynching
is. 1t Is difficult to indict the lynch
ers whenever the entire community
their action. No grand jury
has even yet indicted all of their own
members. Make the courts more eff
cient and lynching will be dimin-
ished
ALBERT w. GILCHRIST,
Governor"

STARKE MAN LOST
AFTER LEAVING LAKELAND.

Nr. c. X. Enscy returned to Stark
from south Florida Sunday after a
tiresome and tedious journey. lie
went from here to Tropic, Brcyard
county, to look after his orang"
sroNc property, then to BartOw 10
take possession of an automobilt,
hirh he had to take in lien OF
money owing to him. lie left Bar
tow last Thursday in company with
Mr.. Snyder. chauffeur, riding in
the automobile, which is White
tonncau Of great power and speed, OF
the $1,000 class. 1t was expected
that he would reach Starke Friday
evening and he had written his rela
tiyes here to that effect.
Until Lakeland was passed the
roads were good and fast time was
made. But from there toward Dade
City the travelling was slow and near
dark the machine stalled In bOggy
branch. There was no habitatiOn
within miles of the place and the
travellers built a fire and fought mos
quitoes until morning, when they
went in quest OF help to pull the
machine out. 1t consumed nearly the
whole day to do this and to make
some necessary repairs. After start
ing again some more mishaps oc-
Cured, causing additional delays.
Saturday Mr.. Ensey's relatives and
friends here became uneasy over his
non-appearance and telegraphed to
Barlow to find out when the trav-
elers left. Some Barlow friends also
became alarmed and telephoned toI
Lakeland, learning that they had
passed through there Thursday aft
ernoon.
At last Sheriff Langford decided to
20 to Dade City to start inquiries
along the route, and was about to
take the / a. m. southb0und train,
when, 10! Mr.. Ensey and his chanf-
feur serenely rolled into town to the
great joy of the anxious ones. They
had encountered bad roads south of
Ocala, but from there had been able
to make good Starke Tele-
graph.
