Tho mob msnace.

The thought of lynch law taking the
place Of the courts is one that may
well cause every innocent person 20
shudder.' Carefully as the rights of
the individual to life and liberty are
hedged about in the courts, occasion
ally an innocent person is doomed.
when the passions Of the mob usurp
the functions of elaboration in the
courts! OF those men lynched in Indi-
ana a few weeks ago, by the way none
of the lynchers have been brought TO
justice, one or more were said to be
innocent. OF the Indians lynched in
North Dakota the other day the Gov
ernor declares that one was an inno-
cent man.
Notwithstanding the earnest appeal
of the Governor of Georgia for some
legislation to prevent the frequency of
lynching in that state and his vigorous
denunciation of the evil, he is likely TO
get nothing better than a meaningless
action on the part Of the Legislature if
even that much is accorded his re-
quest. There seems to be greater
sentiment in that body favorable TO
the prohibition of foot bali than to the
prohibition of lynching. The growing
sentiment in the South against lynch
| ing is also likely to lose some of its
vigor in view Of the unconcern over re-
| cent lynchings in the Northern states
All this is deplorable. Too much stress
| cannot be laid on that fact. 1t is an
alarming evil of startling magnitude
1t is one in which everyone is inter-
ested for it strikes at the foundations
of society. it belittles human life and

trary to their spirit, their fair inter-

treaty. and the prisoners We're found
guilty. The testimony brought out
further confirmed the position of our

ssill Neaosiailaa.

Probably Premier Laurier has a
clearer comprehension OF the difficult
ties lying in the path Of his hoped for
reciprocity with this country than he
had before he went to Washington. 1t
is gratifying, however. that there is a
disposition to do something and that
all parties are vigorously denying the
report that negotiations have failed.
But it must seem to many, who have
watched the attempts Canada has
heretofore made to convince the United
States government it had genuine
reciprocity to offer, and her failure to
demonstrate that the reciprocity was
reciprocal, that the negotiations are
likely to amount to little. Ex-Premier
Upper, naturally disposed to criticise
Laurier, says that the latter's visit to
Washington can amount to nothing.
1t must be admitted he has grounds for
this view.
1t is said that Laurier still adheres
to his first opinion that the United
States should make concessions in the
tariff to compensate Canada for loss Of
pelagic sealing. But the proposal was
to prohibit pelagic sealing only for a
year at first, though that length of
time is manifestly inadequate and is
probably 50 considered by Canada.
The experts, Canadian as we'll as
American, agree that the profits from
pelagic sealing are already so small
as to be inconsiderable. AS the matter
now stands and is likely to stand until
the seals are given opportunity to in
crease, Canada's profits must remain
inconsiderable. Still she will retain
her right to kill seals in the open sea-
subject to such restrictions as the
Paris tribunal imposed. And though
the maintenance Of this right may
profit Canada little it would profit U.S.
to have her relinquish it and We pre-
sumo the government is ready to pay
something. When. however, Laurier
stipulates the payment must be in the
way of lower duties he is asking that
which only Congress can give. at least
to the extent he seems to require.
Sections and relating to the equaliz-
ing of trade between this and foreign
countries does not include such articles
as Mr.. Laurier is likely to seek lower
duties on, such as coal. Possibly there
are other concessions outside the tariff
which may prove adequate from
Canadian standpoint. The fact that
basis of agreement on the actual
conditions governing seal life has been
reached is very important and ought to
operate favorably to settlement.

The Competitor Case.

to irritate this country, especially
when it is unnecessary and unreason-

When Spain first decided to try by
court martial the prisoners taken from
