In “the days of old, the days of gold, the days of ,'49." it was no uncommon sight in the golden state to see bodies hanging from trees, when the better element of citizens formed themselves into vigilante committees and sum marily dealt with those individuals who had flaunted the laws. But with the coming of courts and constituted authorities the practice fell into dis use, except in isolated instances. But now there bids fair to be a revival of the old Mosaic law. and that with the approval of the chief execu tive of the state, who has publicly an nounced that he not only approves of the mob's action in hanging two con fessed kidnapers and murderers, but will pardon all members of the mob who are apprehended and convicted. Of course, no one has any sympathy for the brutal murderers who kid naped a young man and then killed him because they “didn't want to be bothered with packing him around." They deserved their fate without ques tion, but the laws of California provide the death penalty for such a crime as their's, and they had no hope of evad ing that penalty. On the other hand. Governor Rolph, in caking his oath of office, swore that he would observe the constitution and laws of the state, and when he failed to respond to the appeals for help from the embattled sheriff at San Jose, he deliberately violated that oath. It would have been much better, since he condoned the acts of the mob, had he kept his mouth shut instead of giving official approval to mob rule. -------------- o PESSIMISTS .AND OPTIMISTS. The Houston Post remarks editorial ly that "unfortunately, there are too many of two kinds of people—congen ital pessimists and inherent optimists— and both, in the extremity of their opinions, have been profoundly im pressed by the NRA.” The natural con sequence of such extreme opinion is described as “a sour wagging of heads by the chronic crepe hangers and a lot of joyful rope skipping by the children of sweetness and light, both being premature.” “To those who neither considered the new deal damned at the outset nor felt it was the millennium," the Post declares there is "much for assurance and satisfaction" and counsels sober- thinking people to ‘ step and take stock.” Reports from thoroughly re liable sources, which none has denied, show very conclusively "neither a dark promise that the country is headed for the abyss nor a bright promise that a new golden age will dawn with the morrow, but there is sufficient indi cation of ultimate recovery to moder ate the fallacious opinions of the ex tremists, so that they may share with the average American a spirit of in creased faith.” It summarizes that upwards of 4,000,000 men have been returned to living wage; that total pay rolls in reporting factories increased from $1,156,000,000 last March to $1,468,000,- 000 in September, a rise of about 30 per cent. Prices have risen 12 per cent, thus reducing the net wage raise to 18 per cent. An increase of 27.9 per cent in the employment index from a year ago is of record, with an attend ant rise of 43 per cent in factory pay rolls, which amounts to $40,000,000 more in weekly envelopes. Automobile sales increased 150 per cent, and other in creases in commodity consumption were: Wool, 210 per cent; cotton, 115 per cent; pig iron, 245 per cent. Busi ness failures fell from 503 in the last week of October, 1932, to 257 for the last week of October, 1933, compared with the five-year average of 457 per week for the period 1928-1932. And farm prices in October and early No vember are steadily ascending, wheat being around 81 cents from 45 cents a year ago. In the same period cotton has come up from 6 4 to 9.9, oats from 26 to 46, rye from 47 to 80, with a crop shortage due. "There you have a picture of pro gressive recovery, slow but steady," says the Poet, and adds; “Recall what the president said: “ Our troubles will not be over tomorrow, but we are on our way.” What is needed is not ex tremists, either ballyhoo boys or mourners at the national bier, but Americans with patience, forever firm in the faith.” — — — o-------------- When you see It in the Review you know that it’s true. The Beaverton Review San June Lynching. While the lynching of the kidnxper- slayers of Brooke Hart at San Jose cannot be condoned, there will be few who will condemn, because If anyone ever deserved such a fate, it was these brutal murderers who tortured, mutil ated and killed their victim, before making ransom demands, rather than be bothered with him. The crime for fiendishness ranks alongside of the Hickman and Lindbergh kidnap mur ders. "This is the best lesson that Cali fornia has ever given the country. "We showed the nation that the state is not going to tolerate kidnaping," said Gov ernor Rolph, who had previous'y re fused to call out the troops to protect the kidnapers, asserting it the sheriff's job. But though the sheriff made a gallant effort to protect the slayers, his facilities were no match for a deter mined mob of 5000 or more maddened men. Once in a while, when the forces of law and order seem to have broken down, and the law's delay and safe guards for criminals make proper punishment difficult and sometimes impossible of attainment, a well- merited lynching clears the air. Such was the case when, in gold rush days, the California vigilantes put the “ fear of God" in the hearts of the malefac tors. Lynching is usually caused by popular impatience with the failure of the law. but far more often it gives vent to the unreasoning passion of the mob. We venture the suggestion that a few well merited lynching of the lead ers might help to end the era of gang ster rule, racketeering and kidnaping in the east, although the gangsters practice it in the form of machine gun massacres of revenge among them selves. However, their wealth and po litical power have made a mockery of tne law in its futile attempt to punish these avowed public enemies.—Salem Capital Journal. REAL E. K Sams et ux tu C. F.

The dramatic, vengeful return of “Judge Lynch” to California, which j knew him well in the old argonaut I times, was not law by the statutes, j nor in any sense sound public policy— but was it not justice? All our adher- j ence to orderly procedure protests against the execution, without trial, of the brutal murderers of young Brooke Hart of San Jose, but something primal and native to conscience stirs in us also, as it stirred in the passions of the mob that stormed the prison and strung them up. It would be idle for this newspaper, or any other, to ex claim against an act so truly in ac cord with the verdict of national opin- , ion, long and flagrantly irritated by j the boldness and cruelty of criminals. If death for murder ever is merited, these men deserved to die. It may be said, without effort at This cannot be said of the Impromptu apology, that the San Jose lynching jurists and hangmen of San Jose, even was representive of a cumulative ef though there is an impulse, to which fect, rather than confined solely to the millions of Americans yield themselves white-heat of wrath that responded to gladly to applaud the justice of their the capture of the kidnapers and their | course.
