If the governor would showju th of his indignation when crini-s like these are committed, and at the Ihx and cumbrous, and in many respects wholly defective, system of law and court practice, which causes crime and lynching by its failure to punish crime, he would be doing a vastly greater than when be is venting his wrath on lynchers, and the officials in counties where they occur.
