What's The Remedy?

Pensacola is somewhat in the lime
light by reason of an alleged recent
violation of the law by members of
the Ku Klux Khan. In various parts
of the country we hear of the activi-
ties of night riders, vigilance COM
mittees, etc, etc. The murderers of
John Tuggle would surely have been
lynched, or at least an attempt to
lynch them would have been made
had they been brought to West Flori-
da when captured, and while we do
not endorse lynching, we can't say
that we would have shed any tears
over their taking off.
We are not disposed to accept
manifestations of the mob spirit as
an indication Of growing Iawlessness
on the part of the people generally.
but rather as an indication of some
thing equally angerous-contempc
of the courts and distrust of the law.
1t is unthinkable that mentally and
morally we'll balanced American
would wish to take the law into their

courts in handling crime. There are
men in the Flori5a penitentiary
"for life" who ought to have been
hanged. Some of them were sent ur
from this county, and if we live as
long as we hope to. we expect to see
them ''pardoned out" This method
of handling crime is breeding a con-
tempt of law, not only among the
ignorant and vicious. but among the
broader minded and better people who
feel a natural repugnance at violating
the law by taking it into their own
hands.
We deeply deplore the frequency o.
mob violence, but there is a cause TO-
it. and the fault is not with the peo-
pie; nor have we reached the wors

I arose unusually early upon the
