WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FORNIGHT RIDING

Some days ago The Sun commentedon Ollle James comparison of theUnited States to Rome and Babylonand Egypt In his effort to prove thatthe country is on the verge of de ¬

struction because of a favored classand hs slighting reference to Gove-rnor Wlllrons soldiers

Not In this connection but quiteapropos the CourierJournal says

Inciting the Irresponslbles to anarchistic activityno matter whetherIt Is done by a longhaired agitatorwho believes In bombs as a panaceafor economic Ills and preaches Insanity In the alums or by misguided persons In a rural community who encourage barn burning and murder asa means to an end entails moral responsibility for results Such resultsas the massacre In southwestern Kenlucky and the murder ln northwestern Tennessee are to bo expected

Then It saysIn Tennessee and In Kentucky

various atrocities perpetrated by night-

rIders went unpunished because of thutter rottenness of local governmentand the corruption of men qualifiedfor grand and petit Jury service Onlya short time ago at HIckman a littledistance across the Kentucky linefrom the scone of the latet outragethere occurred a night rider frolicthe burning of a negro cabin andthe murder of a negro family Itthe language of the local correspondents that hideous affair caused no excltemeht Wo may rest assured thatthe outlaws about Reelfoot lake werenot uninfluenced by the news thatoutlaws In fulton county couldImpunity commit such a crime I

the local government In Hlckmatcounty was unstirred by the massacreof negro women and children whyshould the local government in Ten-nessee

¬

county Just across the line beexpected to make an effort to rebukea band of outlaws for the murder ofofrFulton county Ky view the massa ¬

cre of negroes with complacency whyshould not the citizens of Union coun-ttty Tenn at least acquiesce In themurder of two attorneys

And since these things may occurq Ithout resultant excitement andw hout popular Indignation takingthe >form of a thorough beating ofwhatafecthe structure of governmentsav ocpstraln those who are byhabiOant inclination law abidingwhlle Iltbosfc who lire nbtorb free tocommit whatever crime the Imaglna

tics of the tiger to take prey and ttodefend himself from those who 4v6uldmake prey of him

tHt Is because of thelawless existing In the breastsof menwho are perhaps not consciously fed ¬

ons that the temper of public opinionbecomes such that permitted outlawIly Is possible Not the ragtagandbobtall element that actually burns I

barns In Kentucky but the smug pro I

maters and supporters of night riderIsm constitute the element really destructure of the peace of tho commun¬

ities In which barns are burnedThese smog promoters and supportersgo to with a good con ¬

science and consider themselves goodcltlietiB although they deserve a cellh

and prison stripes as accessories be¬

tore and after the fact Some ofthetegentlemen are conniving holders ofr I

of a class with which ho sympathizesto such an extent that hs sense ofrduty Is obliterated and the venireman or grand Juror whose personal1IInterest or sympathy blinds him tothe enormity of the offense chargedI

are tho backbone of mob ruleThey andjnot the hoodlums who ap-

eJAMES AND WILLSON

In his Speech at Murray yesterdayGovernor Wlllson said that OllleJames could hot excuse himself asaleader of the ix ople by refrainingthenight riders when he falls to rayanything in of those0

who are upholding the law Goingto Murray yesterday Mr Jams In ¬

quired If anybody hart been killedJ

around Murray According to tli Ithis morning the

only reference this leader of thoFirst district people made to nightriding was to say

Willson In the pardon of the mur ¬

derers of Governor Gocbel createdmore disorder than the night riderhave done In Kentucky

loadinfKentuoky onnight rider question Din one blamethe extremes to which tho underlingsgo It was reported that when MrBryan stumped Kentucky for Beckham and Hager last fall and ho hearof thq raids he sail he was devoutlythankful that tho people had takenthe law Into their own hands to dowthe trustsqyesHons r

¬

PQIsAndusttthat the Democrats under James aridStanley will stand up for the IncrftiiPlades and murderers of the mackPatch and the Republicans underWileon will uphold the law and theprotection of the country home

If tho First district siren that oldI

time majority Ollle James speaks oft will be considered by tho nightI

riders as a rebuke to Governor Willson an Indication of the trend oftsentiment toward tho I

race three years hence and encourRRement for them to strengthen thouorganization continuo their work ofIfrtnCmldaticn and prepare to run tit aDemocrats party after which theymay reasonably expect the gpUIeri
