WHIPPING OF BOOTLEGGERS

Nocturnal whppings 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.
trial authority and little organizat ion.
It's actions are usually unprcmeditatc1
until within few hours before it
strikes.
The modern night rider or Klanisi
or whatever he may be called. appear
actunted by sense OF militant puritan
ism, combined with racial and relig-
lous prejudice \ fanatical hatred e
liquor and Of those who sell, make or
drink liquor is His dominating trait.
Next to his hatred for liquor is intolcr
ance of moral transgrcssors There
have been no instances in Texas where
organized mob action has been directed
against persons guilty of such crimes
as murder, highway robbery, bank
looting or burglary. Nor so. far rs
known has the Ku Klux Khan offere /
its aid to the authorities against erin
es Of this sort.
Opposition to mob violence in Beau
mont crystallized yesterday, when peti
tions were put into circulation c0ntai l
Ing names OF more than hundred
bankers, lawyers, physicians and bus
ness men calling for mass meeting
Monday night, March 81, in American

Editor of the Forum:
The recall of the county sheriff
will cost over 5000, II 1t goes
through. Ashland's bill will be al
most $50. I refused to sign the re-
call petition. Now, II those engaged
in the recall know that what they
charge against Terrlll Is true, why
In the name Of honest common sense,
don't they 60 before Justice of the
Peace and make oath to that effect,
have him pinched and bound over to
the grand jury? The cost would not
equal that OF the Ashland election
bill.
What has the w. C. T. u, a non
partisan, non-po.itical bunch, to do
with this mess? What right has a
church pastor to take bunch of
recall papers into his pulpit on Sun
day and hold it up and talk about
it? What does he get for 1t?
In all history, whenever a church
went into politics, 1t went down
Church members can do as they
please about it, but no man has a
right to drag the pulpit into such a
dirty mess of political mud. II Ter,
rill did wrong, there is a clean, clear
cut way through the grand jury to
oust him. | don't believe he Is guilty
of what he is charged with. My
opinion s that some meddler wants
to get him out and then try for a
grab at the county teat, ana is using
the w. c. r. U. ano a few preachers
to rake out their chestnuts.
