THE GOVERNOR AND HIS JOB.

Governor James Withycombe goes into office today
with the best wishes Of large majority of the people Of
Oregon for successful and popular administration The
people are tired of the political gamethey want horse
sense and business ability in the executive chair Relief
from the burdens of taxation is an universal prayer The
machinery of state government complex and expensive
and it is generally believed that may be smpfied with
out reducing its efficiency Of course not many persons
profess know just what is wrong or what the remedy
should be- They have not had the opportunity to nvest
gate the workings of the intricate machinery Of organiza
tonthat is the business of the cheef executive and his
official family If he has definite constructive plan, we
believe that majority Of the members of the legislature
will back him up because they fresh from the people
and are aware Of the widespread desire for reform and
retrenchment
The governor assumes no easy task and judgment up
on his acts and policies should be reserved until such
time as they have been given fair and honest trial

"THE ONE CRIME" "

Possibly the mania for killing is Infectious 1t may be
chat our national pleas for peace and humanity may have
application right here at home Our sympathy with VIC
Tins of heartess brutality need not stretch across the sea
to find objects
There has been another outbreak of that malignant
disease to which this country is subject not only at the
South-ynchng. at Hampton, s. G., a negro accused OF
attacking white woman has been removed from the
county Jail by mob and shot to death In Gaddo parish
La no less than eight mob murders of negroes have taken
place within fortnight because Of the murders of two
white men and an attack upon a white woman. Without
the slightest proof of guilt an aged coored man. who
protested his innocence to the last publicly burned to
death One negro woman was severely beaten by the moO
The others were taken from the jails and hanged.
Neither the governor nor the local authorities, it APP
pears made the slightest effort to stop any Of these lynch
ings or to punish the guilty
The lyncher pretends to a chvarous disposition to de-
fend woman against "the crime at any cost even
chat of sinking himself to the level Of the most british
of negro murderels.
This defense of woman is undoubtedly fine as far as
it goes But are the men of the South sincere and con-
sistent in it?
In Fairfield county, s Co. is another case. There ne
gro woman was found dead q victim OF the yiest OF
crimes and white man arrested has confessed What
will the chivalrous Southeners do about it? Will this
seconfessed white brute be properly punished? viii
he be sentenced and made to his sentence This re-
mains to be seen.
In a nearby county a negro was recently lynched be-
cause he was found under white mans house
1t is now up to Fairfield county, s. c.. with self-con
fessed outrager and murderer of woman on its hands to
prove to the world that the talk about he one crime is
not shallow and hypoctca preteXt for awess and say
age manifestations of race prejudice.
Will Fairfield county, s. G., come to the mark? Well
see.
