The Vindication Of Law.

Would-be mob leaders appear to
be falling on evil times, as their law
abiding neighbors find that they can,
when united, exercise the control
which is their right. Nothing more
cheering is resulting from the wide
spread movement for inter-racial
goodwill than some recent examples
of mob leaders languishing in county
jails and adorning the halls of state
penitentiaries.
The latest additions to the latter
group-small as yet, but still distinct
ly noteworthy are furnished by Ken
lucky, where several citizens who Or
dered the exodus of all negroes with
in certain specified territory have
found their activities rewarded by
free maintenance at the states ex-
pense. Georgia, where a group of
like-minded individuals recently un-
dertook a similar enterprise, bids
fair to rival Kentucky's honors. The
papers chronicle the arrest of sever
al men accused of completely in the
outrage, and their lodgment in the
county Jail.
The federal district attorney of
Georgia, a leading lawyer Of that
state, has secured the indictment and
arrest of several well-to-do farmers
on a charge of peonage. In a pub
lie statement he recognizes the fact
that "ninety-nine per cent of our
people would utterly condemn" such
practices, yet reminds them that
something more is demanding of a
civilized people than mere senti-
ment." That something he apparent
ly proposes to furnish. A determined
and influential group Of men are CO.
operating with him and it is hoped
that better conditions will perman-
emily result.
