The Camera Cure for Lynching.


rTOlH tHt llfleS.
The Washington Star proposes a new
weapon against mobs. The Star would like
to have the camera used to photograph
the leaders of these tumultuous tribunals
of the streets which set aside every law
book and nullify the highest courts.
There is a great deal of good sense m
the proposition to aim the rapid firing
camera at the mob. So far as this has
been done the pictures have shown that
the mobs are largely composed Of boys
the street hoodlums, who are glad of any
opportunity for disorderly and destructive
manifestations. The encouragement OF
youths in such riotous outbreaks has a Sc
rious effect when it is considered that the
boys are to be the men. The greater the
shame, then, to the demagogues and all
who, afraid themselves to enter the actual
violence. stand behind the scenes and urge
on their more ignorant instruments.

evil through the compulsory substitution of
more reliable brakes. The disaster which
occurred in Anacostia some months ago as
result of inadequate brakes, destroying
one life and wounding over a score Of peo-
pie, should suffice to put a high premium
upon official vigilance in the control of
these matters. 1t has been only by rare
good fortune that the three Tenleytown
runaways have not produced fatalities.
After these warnings further neglect in
the premises is deliberate invitation to
disaster

but John r. Mclean is an example of the

A Possible Substitute.
Ill this human clay is changed

Till this human clay is changed
Rivalry, of course, twill feel;
Nations may become estranged,
Tempted to the clash of steel,
But in this enlightened day
Pride has learned some gentler grace
Men who would their skill display
Get their yachts and have a race.
Wars a rough and dangerous game,
Though the players we admire,
Milder methods time may frame
To appease fame's fierce desire.
When our moods refuse to cool
Let us fix a time and place,
Name a prize and make a rule,
Get our yachts and have a race.
Let the thoughtless heather rage
Till he learns to read and write,
We, the wise ones, may engage
In a combat more polite.
If dispute should rise again
Ger the maps which nations trace
Let's compete like gentlemen
Get our yachts and have a race.

 while riding a horse in Van Cortlandt
 Park in that city yesterday morning,
 and was instantly killed His body
 remained upright on the horse till some
 golf caddies had stopped the animal.
 MT. Schwab was in the habit of taking
 horseback exercise regularly every
 morning before going down town to
 business, and was on his usual ride
 this morning when the accident nap
 pened. In passing through Van Cort-
 landt park he rode over the parade
 ground on which a number Of golfers
 had assembled watching game be-
 tween two expert players. AS the anl-
 nal was half way across the ground
 one Of the players made very good shot, which evoked a cheer from the surrounding watchers. The horse was frightened at the sudden shout, and broke into sharp run. from which MT. Schwab tried to hold him in. The animal had taken the bit between his teeth, however, and could not be re- strained. He dashed into the trees | near the old Van Cortlandt mansion with MT. Schwab tugging at the reins. The rider had a good deal of strength and with one of the pulls he made he 1 swerved the fiery horse and made him ! run close to a tree. The horse turned, | as he almost hit the tree himself, and l Mir Schwab was flung against the tree with terrible force. His skull was frac- 1 tured. The horse then tore madly on 1 with the upright body of the rider still l in the saddle until the bridle was | caught by two of the caddes, who tied ] the animal to a tree.

record of the deeds of great men III other times and in other nations. The new problems which come before us Ill our territorial expansion only increase the necessity of knowing what others have done. The larger the world Ill which we live the greater demands It places upon us.
 But neither business success, nor even political achievement, constitutes the whole of q nations life. The develop ment of individual character is more important than either; and the study or literature, be it poetry or prose, drama or fiction, furnishes an all but necessary inspiration for such development There are of course some people who seem to be born great, whose character stands out brilliant amid unfavoraple surroundings; but these are rare eXcep- tions. In general people who live only in the narrow world of the day Will De narrow in their ideals and aims; While those who have felt the inspiration or great works of fiction and poetry, though they may not always be better men and women, will yet have far high CT ideals of what life has in store. Ihe public inspiration which literature oI- fers seems to me by far the highest or the possibilities which the public libra " places before the community.
 The library is not the only agency which makes for these ends. The school, the press and the pulpit, each in their several ways, furnish training which is invaluable to the men and wo- men of to-day But the time ot school +1I Whprp | work begins. The attention of the press | Is necessarily concentrated on the events | of the day, and may by it's very VlVla- 1 ness in the portrayal and eXplanatloH ol | those events destroy the sense or pro ] portion by throwing the work or the past into the background. The teach- | ings of the pulpit too often clam our | attention little more than one day ID | the seven. The library is an agency
 which may help all of these other fac- | tors in public education to do thelr full | and right work; continuing into aItei
 life the habits of study acquired Tn the | schools, supplementing the influence ol
 the press so that our turbulent interest
 in the present is clarified by the power
 of comparing it with the past, carry ing into all departments of life that lif- spration which gives the religious teach-
 ing of the pulpit it's strength and thus
 helping them all to combine in com
 mon work of education and of civiliza'
 ton.
