ma taught her to say. "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for Of such Is the kingdom

A few days later Ruth's mother
went upstairs to make the beds. The
air was very cold from open windows,
and Ruth was told to remain below.
After time Ruth called, Mamma,
I'm coming up."
Mother explained 1t was very cold
and Ruth might become Ill and she
must remain below. But Ruth per-
sisted and started to mount the first
stair.
Mother heard the tiny step, came to
the top Of the stairs and said, "Ruth,

At this Ruth stamped her foot, and
with flashing eyes her outraged self
retOrted, "'Bid me not! Such lis the

The Richmond Times-Dispatch,
heading it's editorial Law and Order
Outraged" writes:
'In permitting-or in failing to
prevent this lawless execution of a
prisoner has openly out
ragged law and order and it has be-
trayed its lack of confidence in its
duly constituted courts. That is the
real pity of this latest lynching, the
real danger in such mob murders. 1t
is an attack upon the courts which
in Virginia is not justified.
Still another editorial admonishes
the white citizens of Wytheville not
to bemoan the bad advertising given
to their town but to set themselves
resolutely to discovering and punish
ing the lynchers. The editorial goes
on:
Reports from Wytheville are to
the effect that neither the towns or
county seems to be particularly per-
turbed over the outrage upon law
justice of which a mob of it's citizens
is guilty. If those reports be true,
then Wytheville will not be able to
re-establish itself in the esteem of
law-abiding people by pleading the
injustice of it's publicity. -
