Much more recently have the auto

many persons on first seeing them
must have been like those expert
enced by James Whitcomb Riley on
a similar occasion. Years ago when
the poet began his platform work, a
winter tour took him into northern
New York. There he beheld a long
funeral procession windings its way

experimenting and ferreting out GRIM
inals to be placed upon the sheriff
but also he is to be made responsible
for the outburst of any mob spirit
among his tOwnsmen. Single-handed
he must fight the good fight and
then if overpowered and he loses his
prisoner, he must go to the expense
of time and finance to maintain
proceedings which may bring back
to him the position he lost. The bur
den of proof will be upon him.
We fancy under such laws the job
of sheriff will possess little attrac-
ton in those states
a more inconsistent method of
remedying deplorable conditions in
modern society could not have been
evolved. The burden of the dis
grace is upon the citizens of any
community in which lynchings oc-
cur and that is because the social
ed good citizens of a place do not at
once spring TO the aid of the officers
and prevent mob violence.
Some mobs composed of 100 men
have committed these outrages in
communities where several thousand
so-called good citizens have kept
away from the scene and let the
cowardly and despicable mob-gang-
sters tear suspected men or even ac-
knOwledged criminals from the very
sanctuary of the law. The remedy
would seem to be with laws which
would make it incumbent on the cit
iZenry to aid officers, and, above
everything else, TO make such dras-
tic provisions that if any of the mob
members are apprehended they be
tried and visited with punishment
under a state provision which would
remove their trial and conviction
from a section where the local senti-
ment might favor their exculpation
or acquittal.
The Ohio and Indiana laws seem
to contemplate the punishment of
the only man who may be doing his
duty and acting the part OF a brave
and a loyal citizen.
