THAT URBANA BUSINESS

Human nature is very much the
same the world over, that is Anglo
Saxon human nature. This fact has
been bloodily demonstrated in Ohio.
1t only proves that like causes produce
like effects and that the locality has
little to do with the results. What
| has been so often denounced and writ
ten down in flaming paragraphs, as
the crying sin Of the south, is seen to
be as much the crying sin of the north
when the circumstances are paralleled.
Urbana is not more. than $50 miles
south Of the great lakes, and well
within the northern territory, and yet
no more persistent effort was ever
made in the south to lynch a black
brute for that most unforgivable of
all crimes, rape, than was made so
successfully by the citizens of hat
lovely Ohio city. 1t is not in the diff
ference of the human nature of the
people Of the two localities that the
difference in their record lies, but in
their different surroundings. One
would naturally think that in a COM
rhunity where comparatively few col
pred men reside, there would be less
disposition to visit their brutalities
upon them outside of the courts, be-
cause there would be less of race pre-
JUDGE and feeling and the recourse to
the regular processes of law would be
considered more effective. That this
is not the case is beyond doubt. The
Pittsburg riots of "a ago, no less
than this horrible affair at Urbana,
prove that the northern mind is to the
full as determined as the southern, and
that when it is convinced hat law af-
fords no real redress it will not be de-
tered by any threatened danger from
taking the law into its own hands. 1t
was the inequality of the law punish
ment for the crime committed at Ur-
bana that moved the citizens to take
the punishment of that awful crime
into their own hands. Take the cir
cumstancess into consideration, the out
rage, the pollution, the loathsome hor-
ror of it all, and there is no wonder
that the people were in arms at the
sentence Of imprisonment for a term
of years. These also ought to have
been considered by the military and
county authorities. There are crimes
that justify condign punishment, and
this was one The majesty of the law
is a grand thing. The right to trial is
the right of the lowest citizen. But
here there was 10 question of guilt.
No question that murder would have
been mercy compared to the crime per-
petrated. No juggling with the fact
that the court had punished to the ex-
tent of the law and that was totally in
adequate to meet the case. There was
no need to have sacrificed innocent
lives to such a criminal. But it is
done. Better so than that the more
than murderer should escape with his
life and the possibility of repeating
his crime. 1t is no discredit to the
martyrs who lost their lives in hat
work of righteousness. that their blood
vas so shed. All that remains is to
pray that death may mercifully inter-
pose in the Ease of the poor victim Of
the damnable deed. AS for the militia
men who killed their fellows in the dis
charge of a duty imposed on them by
the state, remorse is their reward.

At the armory in Madison Monday
evening DR.. Fridtjof Nansen spoke to
a large and enthusiastic audience in
the gymnasium. The lecture was Il
magnificent success. About 1000
persons were gathered in the
gymnasium, a very large proper
ton of whom were Norwegians
and each one of whom felt a thrill
OF pride in the occasion and appropri-
ated to himself Il portion of the re-
Elected halo of his illustrious country
man.
Nansen's success us an explorer can
hardly be greater than that as a lee
turer. For two hours the audience
sat GREATNESS, listening to his roman
tic tale OF suffering and endeavor. He
IS tall, athletic and supple. His plat
form appearance is modest but very
pleasing. AS he smiles he might be
taken for an overgrown boy. A near
or inspection of him, however, shows
besides his marvellous physique cold
ness at times that bespeaks great
strength, an indomitable will and des-
perate recklessness, qualities that
made possible the success of his great
undertaking. His voice is pleasing
and of good range He speaks with
foreign accent which is noticeable at
first but which is entirely lost sight
of when he as entered upon his thrill
ling narration The wierd beauties
of the frost world alternated in inter
est with the most hair-raising ad-
ventures, For nearly half an hour he
expended the fertility OF his resource
fui powers of description in attempt
ing to do Justice to the glory of the
aurora and the polar night. He Is
the poet of the silent boreal world as
we'll as the scientific explorer. He
led his hearers over dream bridges of
light vague as foreboding" from
one phenomenon of color etherealized
to another and 1t seemed to come
truly from his heart when he said he
sometimes longed for their beauties
again.
President Adams in introducing
him said: The great hour has ar
rived. The viking Is here. Norway
welcomed home her son for what he
achieved The state of Wisconsin
welcomes him with more than usual
enthusiasm because 1t has within Its
borders larger body of his country
men than any other state in the union.

Many of us have followed his story
from the moment when a tiny hand

goodby until three years later he came

He praised him for his scientific
results and his remarkable care and
foresight in bringing back all his
heroes as we'll as they started out.

audience for coming to hear Il talk on

Ter than the cold surface layer, it
sinks to the bottom But there was
nothing to look at but snow day after
day. The shifting caves and hillocks
round about were a fairy tale frozen
in snow and ice. But you become
tired of the unsetting sun almost as
high at midnight as at midday. You
become tired of the constant glare and
tired of those eternal snow spectacles
you have to wear The sun gradually
circles lower and lower. The autumn
is approaching, and a wonderfully
beautiful thing is this Arctic twilight,
a picture that imagination paints with
eyrie tints. The sun sinks deeper and
the evening sky gets clearer and the
ice world is dreaming in the light
of the northern stiffness. At last the
sun disappears under the horizon, and
then the dawn in the south grows
fainter and fainter every day But
it is wonderfully beautiful, this twi-
light of the dying, disappearing polar
day. 1t is like dreamland, painted in
the imaginations most deliacte tints.
1t is a far away. faint, clear music,
a distant, subdued melody 1t is
sad scene of the dying day. But it
grows darker and darker: the dawn
grows fainter and fainter until the
last trace of dawn disappears in the
south, and then the dark polar night
has commenced and will prevail for
a. Nhn
rora now appears. 1t may start like
a mere spot on the horizon, and
spread, separate and twist across the
dark sky in three broad, waving boa
like bands, red. yellow, white, or you
my say, in three magnificent streams
from a celestial standard. Then sud-
denly the whole will shrink together
and shoot quickly from central
point in fiery flashes like-you see it,
ncw-like a bombshell exploding in
mid air. Then the sky is abruptly
cleared and the rising moon drops
down, casting its strange arctic moon
beams which fall, like drift from the
aurora sprinkling the globe. In these
wonderful polar nights | used to lay
