4 Remedy for Lynchings.

The Frank lynching was evidently
done by arrangement between the mob
and The pr on forces
Twenty-Five armed guards asleep on
the back porch while a state prison Is
raided by ,he mob is circumstance not
to be explained away
IF the law had been such that the
officers and guards would have lost their
position automatically and instantly,
whether they were to blame or not. il is
safe to say that Franks lynching could
ne have been So arranged
Here is a real remedy for lynchings
let the laws be so made that any
sheriff, warden. deputy warden, super
intendent or guard employed about
prison and in custody either actual or
legal. or any prisoner, shall cease 70 hold
bis position from the moment when any
shall be taken from his control
by any outside force, either friendly or
hostile to the prisoner, and we shall see
much fewer lynchings.
1t may be said that these things are
sometimes done without any fault on the
part Of the officer
Granted but it does not often occur.
The people in the mob are the people
on whose political faver the public officer
thrives.
They are often his friends
If his job were sure 10 be lost by their
action they would not act in many cases.
Such a law would array all of the
friends Of the officer in the community
in the ranks Of those opposed TO lynch
ing or escape.
1t would nerve the officer up 70 the
point of fighting for his prisoner and his
office as we'll
