CALIFORNIA "JUSTICE."
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.”

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

Lynch law In California.
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.
