it was to open the cage door in the first
place. Every Iynching that takes place
helps to establish a custom and TO excuse
some other lvnchng. and the most super
ficial student OF history cannot help seeing
that when mob law rules il is mere
chance whether punishment; alights on the
just OF the unjust. Not a fortnight ago
a mob turned out. wild with rage, and

and discovered aftcrward that he was not
the man they were after Not fifty years
ago the best and most conscientious people
OF this country, for teaching doctrines in

treated by this same mob.

LIVE WITHIN YOUR INCOAE.

You cannot make people honest
by paying them large salaies. Our
public servants were less suspect
ed, and less number were guilty,
when the salaries were smaller
than now. It is living beyond
income that has been with most
defaulters the first step, and we
say in all earnestness that in every
case living beyond income was
needless and criminal. The great
body of the people are in no mood
to be trihed with by puerile pleas
about syial position and beautiful
extravaganza. That kind of life is
essentially vulgar because it lacks
the highest culture, which is sell
control and self-dcnial.
