THE Cologne Gazette says that several of
the powers, including Germany, have adopt
ed the standpoint that the evacuation of
Thessaly by Turkey cannot be demanded
unless indemnity by Greece is paid or guar
anteed. AS payment of indemnity by a

tive unless some guarantee is included in
the treaty of peace between Greece and
Turkey, 1t is questionable whether Germa-

KNOWING that every day the tariff
bill was delayed was costing the country
800 600 or more in duties, the repub-
licans allowed the opposition to do
most of the talking in the debate
which preceded the adoption of the
conference report. Senator Burrows,
who was a member of the conference
committee, made short speech de-
Tending the restoration of the 50 duty
on white pine lumber, and replying to
sspersions cast upon him and inciden-
tally upon the state Of Michigan by
Senator Pettigrew. He said the lum-
Der schedule was one of the most meri-
torious of the bill, which would restore
to the labor of the country the un-
counted millions of which it had been
robbed by four years of free trade.
The conference report was adopted by
a majority of ten, the same majority by
which the bill passed the Senate.

A subject of very great interest to
the American people is crime and its
causes. ALI know that crime is steadily

Review. strictly northern, is discussing
crime in connection with drunkenness.
Judge I. c. Parker. who served for a
quarter of a century as Judge of the
federal court, Indian Territory. SAYS
that he has tried 1000 men for murder.
and he has sent more criminals to the
gallows and the jaiis than any other
judge who has lived in this country.
He is dead now, but a paper he wrote
has recently appeared in The North
American. He wrote:
I'VE find hat during the last six
years there have been 43, 9O2 homicides
in the United States-an average of
1917 per year. In the same time there
have been 723 legal executions and
Lis lynchings. These startling fig
ures show that crime is rapidly increas-
ing instead of diminishing. In the last
year 10, 800 persons were killed, or at the
rate of 815 per month, where as in 1890
there were only 1920, or less than half
as many as in 1895. This bloody record
shows a fearful increase of the crime
which destroys human life"
He says that at least th~ree-fourths of
the hOmicides in this country are at
tributable directly or indirectly to the
use of intoxicants." And yet the states
legalize the traffic that causes these
killings, murders, etc.

THE HARRIS PARDON CASE,

The Oxford Ledger does not give the
Frank Lands, of Oxford, by the brute
Henry Harris, but rebukes the high
handed action of his supreme highness,
the tsar of all the offices, railroads., asy-
news of RusselT's precipitate course
created at Oxford great surprise and
Indignation, and it is not surprising.
If ever a s~coundrel bent on killing ever
deserved punishment it is this tender
lamb of the Russell fold. Russell turn
ed this ruffiian loose upon the people
of Oxford, Granville county, and the
state Of North Carolina, the negro
Henry Harris, upon the recommended
ton of Solicitor Bynum." The assault
upon young Lands was secret" and
without a shadow of justification. The
Ledger says:
1.-The jury that tried Harris was COM
posed of members of the different par
ties, and Solicitor Bynum argued ably
and earnestly that he was guilty &C
cording to the bill Of indictment and

penitentiary for two years by Judge
McIver. He appealed to the supreme
court, the judges Of which court are
nOn-partiZan, and they affirmed the SEN
tence of the court below. By the time
this decision was handed down to the
utter establishment of our law abiding
citizens the governor issued his pardon.
Was it all prearranged before hand
that Harris should not enter the peni-
tentiary?'
The people of Granville knowing the
facts will perhaps wish hat the tsar.
the swift friend of criminals in turning
them adrift, had to serve the full term
of the sentence of the rowdy criminal
he pardons. Russell ought to bow his
head in shame before outraged Justice
who stands before him powerless. He
is helping to swell the number of crimes
and to invite scoundrels and murderers
to do their bloody work without fear
of molestation or punishment. The one
man power is so offensive that it stands
without any show of justification. The
new tsar simply makes it infamous-a
stencil, a wrong, an offence to all right
thinking, law abiding citizens. The
Ledger says:
Governor Russell in his inaugural Id
dress was particular severe on lynch
law, and We also are opposed to the
exercise of that kind of violence for
the suppression of crime, but the indis-
Greet use of pardoning power by the gov
ernor, how much he and others may
deprecate lynch law, is calculated te
encourage rather than to check it

AN EMINENT LECTURER.

Johns Hopkins university in Balti-
more, has done a very sound and i'm
pOrtant educational work for this coun-
try. and especially for the south. Many
southern alumni of various colleges
lave taken a post graduate course
there, and some are doing good and
needed work in behalf of their section.
The Percy Turnbull course of lectures
is one of the present attractions. All
along it has mad from time to time
courses of lectures from eminent and
gifted men, but perhaps it has never
had so important a course as the pres
II one. The greatest French critic
since Sainte-Benuve is Brunetiere. He
is a nan of great critical powers. In a
recent issue of The Bookman, there
was an instructive and we'll considered
study of him. He is now lecturing
before the university. He was born
in 1S49. a description of him says
He is a brilliant and dazzling talk
er. a fine lecturer, a writer Of great
power, but his reputation comes from
his work as a critic. Two qualities
we are told, are specially prominent
in Brunetiere's criticisms: the variety
of subjects which he treats and the
boldness and independence of his judg-
ments.' Philosophy, history, biogra
ply, fiction, poetry, science seem to
come within his all-embracing grasp
hat is, he is said to have one of those
extraordinary receptive minds capable
at the same time of arranging, clssify-
ing, clarifying all hat it receives"

is a great deal of ability among them.
The debate are ordinarily of unus-

ability and impressive OratOry are dis
played. The Baptists have no stereo-
typed plan to go through with like
other ecclesiastical bodies. The reports
of committees call forth debates. There
are no routine and ruts. The onven
ton is not a legislative body.

learned and able body, the equal of any

If something new has not occurred

see how this uniOn can take place. The
Northern Presbyterians have been re-
ported as favorable to such an union,
but, as we nave understood, there are
war difficulties in the way. Another
question is the organization of negro

much more moderate and conservative
