Major Edwards On Mob Law.

Major Edwards On Mob Law.
Forum: 1t has been we'll said that the
particular objection to mob law lies in
the fact that it has no boundaries. 1t
simply lets loose the ravenous, irrespon.
sible wild beast in human nature, and,
when that wild beast has once tasted
blood. it is good deal harder to chain
him up than 1t was to open the cage door
in the first place. Every lynching that
takes place helps to establish custom
and to excuse some other lynching, and
the most superficial student Of history
cannot help seeing that when mob law
rules it is mere chance whether punish
ment alights on the just or the unjust.
Not fortnight ago mob turned out,
wild with rage. and shot man down
without identification, and discovered
afterward that he was not the man they
were after. Not fifty years ago the bes,
and most conscientious people, of this
country, for teaching doctrines in advance
of their age, were stoned and maltreated
by mobs.

Tho CenainK Man.

- 100 VO0n0B M00s
A pair Of very chubby leKs
Encased in scarlet hose;
A pair Of little stubbv boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, little coat
Cut as mother can
And lol before us stands in state
The futures Coming man."
His eyes, perchance. will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
Perchance the human heart and soul 4.
Will open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
sOn some "big fellow 3" kite.
Those hands-those little, busy hands
So sticky, small. and brown
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may be
Contained within their clasp,
Though now 'tis but taffy stick s
In sturdy hold they grasp1
Ali blesstngs on those little hands,
Whose work is yet undonel
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race is yet unruni
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plant
Whate'e er the future holds in store, -
God bless the coming man."

TH1s is what Measly Moffet has to say

TH1s is what Measly Moffet has to say
regarding the murders:
LET US mix some sens6 with our hor.
ror and indignation and see whether it
was plain Indians that murdered the Spi-
Ger family, or whether the match that set
the fire was not furnished by white men.
The people are bound to get at the real
offenders sooner or later, and the sooner
the better for their own good. Tuttle and
Streeter may endeavor to shield Red Cald:
well and Winchester, but the proper re.
sponsibility will be fixed in due time"
This is very respectful way Of speak
ing Of Judge who is one Of the most up
right, conscientious and hard-working Of
those on the district bench in this state.
And the man who wrote the paragraph
above quoted is the same cowardlY little
hypocrite that gets down on its shrunken
.narrow-bonss in public and thanks the
Lord that it is better than other folks.

IL tho Laborer Worthy Of Hts Hlre1
The recent opinion Of the attorney
general. to the effect that no more than
Is cents could be paid for each parcel of
land In the delinauent.tax list. is likely
to result in no list being published In q
number Of counties. Where the dcscrip.
ton has to be repeated for number of
years that the taxes are unpaid. tho pub.
Usher would loose considerable money
for the setting Of the type, to say nothing
Of space, paper and press.work, Where
the tax is unpaid for five years. and the
description of land and tax has to be re-
peated FIVE times, it is only fair that the
pay should be five times as much as
where only one years tax is delinquent.

Gov. PmoRnR told the membera Of II

Gov. PNGRRR told the members of the
national republican league at Detroit:
'"The great masses of the people are
honest and patriotic. They are willing to
share the burdens Of civilization il they
can receive few Of its benefits. Some,
times they become impatient and demand
an inspection of the books. They, the
people, know they are not responsible for
the present conditions in this country.
Farmers and mechanics, who are the
principal burden-b bearers, wonder what
has become of the old principal of equal
taxation. They wonder how and Why
many privileged classes still exist in this
republic. The people have been reading
and studying. Some of them even have
been thinking. They know that the
principle of equal taxation ls closely a.
lied to the principle of equal rights. and
that is Q republican principle, and they
expect the republican party to enforce
it; and they are going TO see that it is en-.
forced"
And yet that rank gang of tax-dodgers
and dead.beats. the Northern Pacific
officials. refuse to stand their share of
the public burdens. What reason is there
why they should not pay the same pro.
portion Of the taxes that everybody: else

against members met here Saturday
to consider the question of continuing

cision Of the supreme court that tho
committee had no power to commit
witnesses who refused to testify 1t was
decided to abandon the Investigation.
A report was accordingly filed with
the Governor stating that the commit
tee was unable to proceed owing to
the attacks on its legality and the
limitation of its power, but expressing
the belief that the evidence already
taken was sufficient to show that tho
Legislature was surrounded by an or
ganized, corrupt lobby. The report
also says:
I've believe that the presence Of
lobbyists.in Legislative halls in such
numbers rs custom has permitted to
accumulate each year Is q menace to
the rights OF the people, a disgrace to
the state and an unmitigated nuts,
ancc, and recommend that q law be

failure Of the last Legislature to pass
certain laws was due to corrupt inHu-

licve the necessity for such laws Is just
