Yet, who is thei'e w'hb will place a blame for the acts
committed yeHterdiiy at Siin Jose. -Even :tKe gdVtfrnor of
the state has said he will pardon all persons found directly
connected with it.
I If any blame be placed, it lies in the laws themselves. So
; cdrripliciitcd, so twisted, so cdhtraclidtory to brie ahdthdr, that
justice, even in proven cases takes long of enforcement.
; More often, these laws, supposedly for'ci'iitiihal restraint and
I punishment, can bo so cleverly manipulated) that justice is
permanently delayed culprits go free to flaunt their
freedom as a banner of encouragement before others inclined
to crime. .. . ,
: We cannot and must not 'encourage the type of justice of
' Sim Jose. 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 ACT OF SAN JOSE
A Wghly enraged, infuriated mob broke loose in San Jose,
Cal., Sunday night, and meted 6ut justice with its own hands
t6 the confessed kidnapers arid murderers of young Brooke
Hart of that city. Two prisoners in the county jail who
admitted several days ago their brutal slaying of the boy,'
were dragged from their confiricnte'nt and from protection
of the law and hanged by the Mob from nearby trees, fcu'ri
ishfrieht was Swift, certain and complete. . :
The country over, which had rend of the henious admitted
crime will waste little sympathy upon the victims of this
lyhchirig. Public 'generallyi it's mind stimulated with a con
siderable list of kidnaping crimes that have followed over
the country since the Lifidbfergh case, is more likely to' ap

Tho seniors witlzed through the in

every game by overwhelming majori
ties. The Juniors finished second
while the sophomores and freshmen
finished in the order named. On the

players from the ircshmen, sopho
more and junior classes also met de
feat at the hands of the seniors. Thus
tho seniors conclusively demonstrate
ed their superiority, they . claim.
Keith McKlnnls was high point in
dividual for the meet, holding that
distinction in every game. In addi
