WHIPPING OF BOOTLEGGERs

Nocturnal whippings appear chiefly
directed against Bookkeeping and i'm.
morality. This variety or organized
mob action is entirely distinct from
the form OF mob violence known as
1ynching. A lynching mob has no CEN
trail authority and little organization.
] It's actions are usually unprecedented
until within few hours before 1t
strikes.
AZ The modern night rider or Klanist,
On whatever he may be called, appears
actuated by sense Of militant puritan
ism, combined with racial and relig-
ious prejudice. A fanatical hatred CT
liquor and Of those who sell, make or
y drink liquor Is his dominating trait.
Next to his hatred for liquor is intoler
ance Of moral transgressors. There
have been no instances in Texas where
organized mob action has been directed
against persons guilty OF such crimes
as murder, highway robbery, hank
looting or burglary. Nor so. far IS
known has the Ku Klux Khan Offered
It's aid to the authori ties against erin
es Of this sort.
Opposition to mob, violence in Beau
mont crystallized yesterday, when peti
tions were put into circulation contaj /
Ing names Of more than hundred
bankers. lawyers. physicians and bus
ness mon calling for mass meeting
Monday uight, March 81, in American
Legion Hall to devise plans for enforce
nent Of the law. The petition recites
that "the time has come when all men
sboth high and low must be given the
protection guaranteed by the State and
national Constitutions"
