Justice Vindicate0 by NIobs.
Three years ago l had the pleas
ure of addressing this conference In
Richmond. My remarks were tele-
Erapked throughout the nation, and
was hera1ded to the world as a
chief executive who advocated mob
violence. do not propose to go into
a discussion of that here; 1t is en-
ttrely beside the question. Suffice IT
for me to say that in the South the
lynching of a man for the unmentton-
able crime is protection TO our CIV
tltzation, whiel the practice of this
third degree violates the letter OF
our constitution at its most vital point
and is a blow to the whole spirit or
our Institutions. In the South an
aroused mob. is an outraged commune
ity which carries out the law, but
brushes aside with mighty force the
laws technicalities and delays. There
is no hypocrittcal, sanctimonfous v1o-
lation OF fundamental rights under
the cloak Of law by those sworn to
uphold the law; the deed is open, and
civilization anil justice are vindicated.
And .wnan mobs are no longer posi-
Bile, liberty will be dead.
1.-The chief executive of a state has
not a more serious duty nor graVer
responsibility than the obligation I'M
posed upon him in dealing with prts-
oners-and by prisoners mean to IN
clude those in jail awaiting trial.
"a state or a nation that allows it's
prisoners to suffer cruelttes is guilty
of a greater crime than the prisoners
themselves have committed.

DDS in the United States today which
are a disgrace to any civilization.
