Judge Landis, of the United States Circuit Court in Chicago, has granted a continuance of a month in a case that has been before the courts for the last twenty-three years. It is such procrastinations and delays as this in deciding cases that is the cause for so much of the discontent and agitation that we see in the country. Both speakers and writers take occasion to use such incidents as a text for teaching the populace that there is no chance for them to get justice before the law, and so the tendency is growing stronger and stronger toward mob law and violence. This is seen in the many exhibitions of the work of the mob that are appearing in all parts of the world. In many instances the mob gather without doing very much violence, but the agitation is rapidly driving them to the point where they will be much more desperate and destructive in their actions.
