Governor Inciting Crime.
GovernorBlease of South Car
olina made a speech the other
day endorsing the action of a
mob that lynched a negro who
was suspected—suspected, mind
you, not proven guilty, of an un
mentionable offense. When he
did so he applauded the violation
of the very laws which he is
sworn to execute.
Lyhching cannot be condoned.
t-it-is-a violation of the laws of
God and man. It brings back
the days of barbarism, when the
laws of might prevailed, not the
laws of right. It arouses the
savage instincts of man, so long
curbed and controlled, that when
once revived, brushes aside jus
tice, humanity and the teachings
cf Christianity and transfovms
us into brutes. This W2 all
know and concede yet we siuit
our eyes to the hideous nature
of the offense and encourage it
by our silence if not, as in the
case of the South Carolina mon
strosity by open endorsement
How long will civilization with
stand such assaults. What must
be the condition of a community
f ,j»hich will permit such outrages
upon humanity, and what must
be the moral status of the peo
ple of a state which has for a
governor a man who will ap
plaud in a public speech the per
petration of crime?
If the people of South Caroli
na do not insist that their legis
lature at its coming session :m
peach Governor Bease and drive
him in disgrace from the halls
which have in times past been
honored by some of the noblest
men the world has ever produc
ed, they will deserve the exe
crations of mankind. — Fort
Smith Times-Record.

A Mail Carrier’s Load
Fred Duehren, Maii Carrier at

and bladder trouble and had a
severe pain across my back.
Whenever I carried a heavy load

started taking Foley Kidney
Pills and since taking them I
have gotten entirely rid of all
my kidney trouble and am now
as sound as ever.”—W. E. BEV
