I T .h e people of Georgia:
Inuring »'>• recent > amass over the

Tillman's language. At another

[■hr editor Of the county palter. He

Vrd against me without giving their
Lssons for their action. This shows a
mast gratifying state of public opinion,
,, open!'- expressed In forty-nine
■mintles In the southern part of the
Public opinion on law and or-
;,' r I, rapidly changing for the better.
This Is fully attested by the record of
I thr names below.
In each county visited I asked for
the appointment of a committee of
I rsnresentatlve business men who would
M-ooerate. In every needed way. with
, ,i. e sfleera of the law. In preventing
and suppressing lawlessness ond crime
and especially criminal assaults. At
every place I have spoken I have pro
nounced criminal assaults the most vil
lainous Iniquity known to the catn-
[ | orue of crime and I urged the people
i,I remove, as far as may he within
their power, the conditions that make
I lurh "Ullages possible.
The second service I have asked the
committees to render Is to aid the
sheriffs In securing law-abiding citizens
to form the possfe to pursue and ap
prehend criminals who have outraged
the law und to sec that the lawless ele
ment of the community Is entirely , ex
cluded from such pursuit.
It Is generally known that the crowds
Umt rush In pursuit of alleged crlml-
Mls are composed, mainly’ of the Isw-
Itn "who claim to be the peoplo ad
ministering Justice by their own
hands." These wild people search In
hot passion, with bloody eye and mur
derous Intent and hasty and violent re.
lulls. When an outrage la publicly hn-
pounced and the hot pursuit made
known, the papers, speaking of the
criminal, always feel authorized to say.
"he will be lynched as soon as caught.”
These crowds of the lawless overpower
the Sheriff: by physical force or. more
likelv, bv the number of votes they
Cirrv, and our laws ore outraged by
criminal procedure, a
The late Judge Bleckley forcefully
nld: "Nothing Is more certain than
■ that mob executions Increase the crim
inal population of the state. The larger
the mob and the more secure of Im
munity, the more criminals are lodged
In the bosom of aoclety and each man
Is no less guilty than It the crime of
the whole mob had been committed by
himself alone. Murder Is none the less
wicked because perpetrated by a
crowd.”
It Is sxpected that the committees,
•(pointed by the law-abiding people
In the respective communities, will
change these conditions and keep all
the methods for apprehension nnd pun
ishment within the authority of the
Sheriff Nelms, from the hold of -
furious mob. almost In the shadow of
tho home that IValker had outraged
and destroyed, and. after the gallows
had been prepared and the rope fas
tened around the criminal's neck, hur
riedly bringing him to Incarceration In
the county Jail and making It possible
for Judge Roan, on the evening of the
day of the arrest, to call the grand
Jury together nnd complete a fair and
open trial of the case and pronounce
sentence within four days thereafter,
furnishes an Instance of marked and
distinguished heroism that should be
immortalized In the annals of our civi
lization. Within thirty days the neck
of the brute was broken, but It was
broken by due process of law and not
by a murderous mob.
Why not have all the sheriffs In all
the counties to know that public senti
ment demands that all crime and vlo-
Ibnce shall he punished to the extent of
tho law and that all the luw-abldlng
people of the community will support
such Efforts to enforce the law while
they positively remand the lawless and
their wicked efforts forever to the
rear?
for these things the following com
mittees will conspicuously stand In
their respective localities
The special attention of the people
of the atate la called to the character
and hlghstandlng of the men who have
thus taken position for law and order
In their several communities.

HALED BEFORE RECORDER
”If tbit boy keeps on at the present
gait ne will be the greatest train robber
and murderer this country has ever
known. Jesse Janus won’t be a cir
cumstance. Such energy os he has dis
played Is remarkable. If only exerted
In the right direction he woujd accom
plish wonders.” .
TIiIb prediction was made Haturday
morning In police court by Recorder
Rivers; son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Riv
ers, of 70 Woodson street, who, with
hfs two younger brothers. 1h accused of
terrorizing the whole neighborhood m
the vicinity of his home.
.\s a result of the mfscorduct of the
little fellows. Mr. and Mr*. Rivers we**#
each fined $10.76 by the recorder on the
charge of disorderly conduct and main
taining a nuisance. There was no case
against the children, as they are too
Broyles in regard to 7-year-old Clifford young to be held amenable to the law.

Washington. April 12.—A Democratic
congressman who talked very warmly
about the suggestion of the Georgia
editor. John Temple Graves, that WII
llam J. Bryan In the next Democratic
national convention ahould nominate
Theodore Roosevelt for president, was
Representailve'James Hay. of Virginia.
i!r. Hay Is earring his seventh term In
the house, and la one of me leaning
Democrats In congress.
'it Is the sheerest nonsense," he said
of Ihe Graves suggestion. ”U Is the
ubuffvdest thing in politics Phare heard,
except possibly the story qf the 15.-
dflO.ooo conspiracy to defeat President
Roosevelt and his policies;
"It Is Impossible." rontlnued Mr. Hay.
‘that any Democrat In a Democratic
national convention should nominate
President Roosevelt. Ills record Is
anything but Democratic. His poli
cies, however well meant, are not Dem
ocratic, and 1 can not see how any one
calling himself. a Democrat 'can ad
mire, respect or commend what we
understand Is the Roosevelt way of
conducting the government.
“Take the ship subsidy, which
Roosevelt supports. There Is not a sin
gle Democratic Idea In that business.
If there Is a Democratic Idea left In the
country. It Is opposed to the ship subsi
dy nnd all other subsidies.
"How does Mr. Roosevelt appeal to
Democrats an a tariff reformer? If
he ever was inclined In that direction
It was when he wrote books as a youth,
at the same time that he anathema
tized Thomas Jefferson and other of
our greatest Democratic statesmen.
Throughout tho six yearn of the Roose
velt administration he line been as un
yielding a stand-patter as Speaker
t'annon. Payne. Dulzall or any of the
rest of them. President Roosevelt has
very ostensibly made w.Tr on Hie trusts.
I would like to know wherein, from hie
method of attacking trusts and mo
nopolies. the people of the country have
been substantially beneffted?
"If I were talking to an audience
of Southern Democrats I think I would
remind them of some thing* In Ruose-
vell’e record which some Democrat#
down our v.av seem to have forgotten.
I would recall to them that the negro
school teacher. Booker Washington, as
recognized by President Roosevelt, has
superior claims to consideration as an
adviser thun have United Stales sena
tors who happen not to agree with the
president In pntronnge affairs, as nota
bly In the rase of Alabama and Ohio. I
