Yet we cannot but feel a certain understanding of the impulses that led the citizens of that city, mindful of many, many miscarriages of justice and fearful of a repiti 'tion of siich miscarriage in their case, to committ the prompt ilc't of justice they did. Committed, past and beyond recall, may the action of the citizens of San Jose be ridt only a warning to such ele ments of crime it took under its own control. May it also be a warning to those makers df our laws, that readjustments must bo and quickly made in them that will regain the 'trust and the respect of all. The future well being of this country demands and must have a new feeling of security that under protection of law justice will never be miscarried. !the Weather Tl'K'ATillill'FdliECAST Ore'soli: IJIiAettletl tiilltelit WUli rnliiK In the wwt twrtlont IVMliieHtiiiv ruins in 'the vest 'arid snow br niin in trie 'eastern portirin; tenlperdture generally below nornuil.
