Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Idea; A Sign of the Times, Vol. 4: January 1, 1910 The Times-Dispatch, in an article to-day, December 28th, calls the lynching at Hurley, in Buchanan County, "The State´s Disgrace" and "a black blot on the State´s reputation," and starts off by saying that "Virginia´s fine record for observance and respect for the law has been broken." Now, The Idea thoroughly agrees with this sentiment of respect for law and frowning down disregard for law and, of course, the gross crime of lynch-law, but we have no respect for a paper that is so cowardly as to condemn disregard for the law in Buchanan, but uphold it in Richmond by refusing to expose it or sanction the exposal of it right under its own nose. We have no respect for a paper that will condemn the sovereign people way off in Buchanan, hundreds of miles from Richmond, and where that paper has almost no circulation, for taking the law in their own hands and yet will not condemn a public servant in its own town who openly violates his oath of office and takes the law into his own hands, not in passion and the heat of the moment, but deliberately and knowingly, and weakly says that he, a servant of the people appointed by the people to carry out their law, should not regard that oath but should refuse to execute the law whenever lie thought best so to do.
