No, Beyond Reach Of the Inv.

It was Plutarch who said. There if
no debt with so much prejudice put OIL
as that of Justice" Hitherto, however
those violators of the game laws living
in the depths of the Maine wilderness
or along the border and those who
come over from the Provinces for the
purpose of poaching have too often
found their case little prejudiced by the
putting off of justice. Some of them
have piled their illegal vocation with
out mOlestation because of the difficult
ty of bringing them to justice. The
game commissioners, however. con-
ceived the idea of taking justice to the
poacher and by glancing over the let
tiers which Mr. Carleton has just re-
ceived from wardens in the woods be-
yond Fort Kent. a copy of which we
publish in this issue, it will. we think,
be concluded that the idea is proving a
most excellent one. The sight OF
trial justice accompanying the game
wardens seems to have convinced the
outlaws that there and then was the
proper opportunity for settling. Any
how. they settled and the success of
the expedition Of justice into the haunts
of lawbreaking ought to satisfy them
that they will have to settle again If
,o;,, icda Tho
commission is entitled to a good deal
of credit for arranging the matter.
They have taken hold OF the
enforcement of the game laws
not only with determination to make
the utmost of their facilities but with
excellent judgment as to the most ef-
fective and expeditions methods. 1t is
a difficult and expensive work at best,
this reaching out the hand of the law
into the Businesses. and there is little
assurance that the moment the back
of justice is turned depredations will
not be renewed. But, Notwithstanding
the most effective restraint will come
from convincing the lawbreakers of the
necessity of the law and of the need
of their cooperation, the lesson taught
by this expedition of justice will not be
altogether unheeded and the oftener it
is repeated the more effective and last
ing will be it's impression. There is
wholesome roStrainf in the knOw1e1 90

The amendments which the Senate
committee propose for the arbitration
treaty commend themselves. They
provide for the submission of all agree
ments for arbitration between the two
countries to the Senate as a part of the
treaty-making power of this country
for its approval CT disapproval; elimi-
nate the provisions concerning the su-
preme court, and strike out the provis-
ion agreeing upon the King of Sweden
as umpire. All of these are wise pro-
visions, it seems to us, and in no way
invalidate the treaty, while they will
safeguard it at what have seemed tc
be weak points. If the Senate can be
trusted to legislate for us it can be
with equal safety left to decide what
shall and what shall not be arbitrated
The judges of the supreme court have
other duties than those of arbitrator
and it is possible that in trying to &C.
cupy both positions their duties nigh,
conflict. The objection to King Osca,
may not be so well founded but it is
not unreasonable.

A bishop Of the African Methodist
Episcopal church urges colored people
to arm and repel lynchers. This has
created commotion. But why? Would
not the whites under similar circum-
stances regard it no less than their
duty to defend themselves? Most as
suredly they would. But the advice of
Bishop Tprner if, needed would be like
ly to result in trouble. The blacks are
the inferior race in ability to defend
themselves or to wage a war of ag-
erosion. The good which might come
from it, though, would be brought
about by an awakening to the enormity
of the crime of lynching. If instead OF
silent acquiescence in this cowardly
| numbering riot and considerable blood
shed should follow every attempt al
! lynching the administrators of law
| would be compelled to bestir them
selves and in quelling indignation al
! injustice they could scarcely avoid
dealing with the cause.

IN" story Thai He Rode on Horseback
Unattended Was a Fake.
no inauguration myth has been more
tenacious Of life than that which pictur-
ed Jefferson, attired as a plain citizen,
riding en- horseback to the capitol, hitch
ing his horse to the palings and walk
ing unattended into the senate chamber
to take the oath as president. To have
done this would have been in accordance
with his previous utterances, for he had
strongly condemned as savoring of mon
nrchy all public ceremony at the swear
ing in of a president. When the time
Tor his own Inauguration arrived, how
ever, the case seems to have looked diff
lerent to him. Whether it was because he
was TO be the first president inaugurated
ut the new capitol, OF because of an un-
willingness to disappoint the large num-
Eers Of his friends and partisans who
had assembled to honor him, is not
clear, but the fact is that he did permit

boarding house, which was only a
stones throw from the capitol, by a
militia artillery company and a process

he went on foot to the capitol.
The horseback story, or fake" as it
would be deEominated in modern jour
nalism, was the invention of an English
man named John Davis, who put it in
q book Of American travels which he
published in London two years later. In
order to give 1t an air of truthfulness,
Davis declared that he was present at
the Inauguration, which was not true.
A veracious account of the ceremonies
was sent to England by Edward Thorn
ton, who was then i'll charge of the Brit
ish legation at Washington, and in this
jefferson was described as having walk
ed to the capitol. These facts, together
with a great mass of interesting matter
about Jefferson's Inauguration, are set
forth in detail by Henry Adams in his
