The proposition made by Governor
EHcrbce of South Carolina, to impose
heavy tine on the county In which a
lynching occurs Is not original with
him. IN fact the plan has been prac-
ticed in various countries and at vari-
Gus times in the worlds history, and
has been proposed for the more tur-
bulent sections Of this country, but
has never been received with even so
much favor as to warrant its enact
ment into law. Yet it seems very
direct way of making. the punishment
fit the crime" in literal sense. When
a lynching occurs, so many inhabitants
of the community are implicated in 1t.
az active or passive participants in the
crime and there is SO much intimtda-
ton Of the innocent men among the
people of the vicinage that 1t is usually
impossible to detect the criminals, or
to convict them when known. The
whole community is. therefore, tech
nically If not actually guilty OF the
crime. and the way to discourage It's
repetition in that locality is to make
the whole community suffer for it.

found that he would be able to swing
the patronage of the street-sprinkling con-
tractors.
He owned the building, it is said, and
matters were arranged with the horseshoers
that occupied it that he should become a
partner. When the partnership was con-
summated Mr.. Downing touched the but

VISITING PHYSICIANS ATTEND
The Preliminary Course OF Medical
Lectures Begins Auspici0usly.

liminary course Of lectures to be delivered
by the members of the faculty of the Medi-
cal College Of Indiana, the medical depart
ment Of the University Of Indianapolis. and
the attendance far exceeded expectations.
For many years the desire has been ex-
pressed that q preliminary course of lee
lures should be given, and this year, for
the FIRST time, the faculty has arranged
for three lectures and a clinic to be given
each day until college open on Sept. %.
From all parts of the State came physicians
and students yesterday and by the time the
last lecture Of the afternoon was delivered
there were nearly sixty present. Those
here were not only from this school but
many different institutions were represent
ed. The lectures are given free by the
members of the faculty, and no charge Of
any kind is made for attending them or be-
ing present at the clinics. Both students
and graduate physicians were expected to
take advantage of them, and the expecta-
tions were fully realized.
indianapolis is rapidly coming to the
front as a medical center, its physicians
say, and probably nothing that has been
done recently will tend so much to cause
the city to maintain q place in the front
rank as this series Of lectures. Yester-
days clinic was conducted by DR.. Hadley
and the lectures We're delivered by DR..
Cole, DR.. Hodges and DIR. Jameson. To-
day the clinic will be conducted by DR..
Potter and the lectures will be by DR.. Gels,
DR.. Thompson and DR.. Charlton. 1t is ex-
pected that the attendance to-day Will be
greatly increased over that of yesterday.
