The Louisiana LyuchinR.

There is little in the case of the Italians
who were lynched the other day in Louisi-
ana to cause apprehensions of any serious
strain in the relations of this country with
Italy. Thus far, indeed, there has been
barely more than the formal overture from
the Italian government to ascertain the
facts. 1t may be that eventually Italy will
file g. claim for indemnity as it did in the
case of the Malta murderers of Chief Hen
Messy of New Orleans. But in the light of
that affair which served to establish pre-
cetent il is not likely that the present cpl
sode will ever go to the extreme point of a
threat of war as then.
Practically everything in this instance de-
Ponds upon the political status of the
Italians who We're lynched. 1t is reported
by wire from Louisiana that they had de-
clared their intention to become citizens of
the United States. 1t is further stated that
one of them had in fact been naturalized.
If this be true there would seem to be lit
tie ground for the Italian claim In the
Malta case of several years ago the victims
of the mob had taken no steps to sever
their allegiance to Italy. They were there
fore still subjects of King Humbert and the
only issue then at stake was whether me
United States could properly and legally be
held accountable for outrages committed
clusively by state laws. The government
assumed the negative of the proposition. 1t
protested that each state is law unto it,
self as regards the security of the inhabit-
ants thereof in the operation of its own
statutes. These Italians had killed a pub
lie official and were charged with murder.
mob killed them in revenge. The gov
ernor OF the state reported to the govern
ment in This city that the public agencies
had been insufficient to prevent the slaugh-
ter of the accused men and the government
held that it could not go behind such re-
turn.
This declaration precipitated a minor
crisis The Italian minister left the coun-
try, but relations were not altogether sew
cred \ charge d'affaires remained as the
representative of Italy and the negotiations
We're conducted at first hand as though
there had been no personal breach. Event
ually this government, as an act of inter-
national courtesy, granted an indemnity to
the families of the dead Italians, but ex-
pressly stipulated that this payment should
not be regarded as setting a precedent. 1t
was pure gratuity and could never be
cited in guidance in future cases.
II in the present instance 1t transpires
that the men killed were subjects of Italy
1t Is TO be assumed that the case will pro-
ceed along the same lines. 1t may be that
the Italian government, encouraged by the
former grant of a gratuitous indemnity, is
now asking for reparation in the hope that
the United States will be similarly generous
despite its lack of legal liability. 1t is to be
expected that the affair will give rise to the
usual amount of foreign criticism of Amer
lean lawnessness, a rebuke which in this
instance seems to be we'll deserved, though
the men lynched had been guilty of muir
derous assault or worse

The Cleveland Strike Horror.

The dynamitiEg of street car filed with
passengers in Cleveland is a browning act
OF violence IT. the lonG-cCntinued struggle
there between the corporation and its
former employees Such an outrage I'M
justified by any requirements of the strike.
Is certain to ALLEVIATE public sympathy from
the strikers Citizens will be quick TO con-
clude that they cannot afford to lend moral
or substantial support to a movement
which brings such tragedies TO the COM
Elunity. Ii matters not in the present as
pect of the affair whether the explosion
was caused by a striker or by q SYM
pajh!z.c o. by any malicious person intent
solely upon doing evil or wreaking VEN
geance for an Individual grievance. The
fact is that whoever thus murderously de-
stroyed the car and injured the people In 1t
took advantage of a coa6ttton precipitatcd
ty the strikers, al opportunity which was
furthered by the weakening of the laws
processes through iacessant riotlng and de-
hance Of the police. 1t Is no; enough to
say that any person can dynamite a car al
any time If provided with the means. There
Is under ordinary circumstance an entire
lack of motive. Mems hearts are not then
il famed with hatred. Their judgment is
not warped by the fierce animosities Of
Confiict. They can more surely me assure the
right of the Innocent to security.
when strike reaches this phase it loses
all of its original bearings upon the labor
problem Il becomes the duty of the state
10 intervene to prevent further outrages ana
TO restore order. The use OF the military is
Hct blow at labor or an interference in
behalf Of the corporation. 1t is a stroke for
the people, whose rights always rise
Superior to those of any single class or
faction or organization. Herein lies the
chief weakness of the strike as an agency
TO secure better conditions for labor. 1t
involves so many elements of possible dis
order affecting the public at large that 1t
carries the germ of its own destruction
within it,
In casting up the ultimate responsibilities
Ter such affairs as that in Cleveland ac-
count must be taken OF the attitude of the
corporation as well as that of the strikers
The corporation assumes part of the burden
OF blame when it undertakes to violate any
form Of agreement which may have been
secured by the workers. The corporation.
In fact. owes a more palpable duty to the
public than does the individual worker for
1t Is in enjoyment of a valuable privilege

ercise of that privilege should be to pre-

this boundary dispute because it fears an
adverse decision by an impartial umpire.
He accuses us Of trading upon the new
English kindliness and sentiment of tender
ness for u.s. His attitude is more irritating
than is the declaration of Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier that the choice lies between arbitration
or war. This latter definition is suggestive
of the politicians desire to keep the oppo-
sition friendly. Sir Wilfrid knows well
enough that 1t is not his function to define
the ultimate policies of the home govern
ment, however much influence Canada may
have upon the London authorities. The
issue as to arbitration or war will be reach
ed by higher powers than the premier of
the dominion.
1t is not true that the United States has
refused to arbitrate the boundary question
or has confused the issues, or has traded
upon any British sentiments. 1t has merely
sought to prevent present injustice by a
readjustment of the existing Jurisdictions
pending the shaping of the case for arbitral
settlement 1t has properly refused to arbi-
trate upon a provisional boundary and re-
quires Canada to respect established con-
ditions until some authoritative and final
judgment can be reached as to the mean
ing of the treaty of 1925 and the force of
continued conditions since that treaty was
signed. Despite Sir Charles Tuppers in
tignant denunciations which smack
strongly of the process known as batting
the government-the United States has q
strong case, a clear conscience and Is in
possession of the disputed territory by vir-
tue of long recognized right.

The Presidents Veto Power.

Senator Morgan's revival of the PROPOSE
ton that the President be eliminated from
the settlement of the silver question has
nowhere been received with favor. Gold
democrats and silver democrats alike OPP
pose It. The same proposition met with
the same reception three years ago. Then,
as now. t. was held that the President
should face the music on one question as on
anOther-on all questions: that he could no
more forego his approval or rejection of
legislature measures than Congress could
its initiative.
1t Is the proper view TO take of the mat
ter. The veto power imposes q duty on the
President While filling his office he must
give the country the benefit of his knowl-
edge and convictions. He must have con-
vfctions. The campaign which precedes his
election has always served to put him on
record He speaks for himself in his letter
accepting his party's nomination. and all
through the canvass his friends are con-
stantly speaking for him. He goes into Of
fee therefore with his views on all leading
Issues we'll defined. How then can he be
expected to efface himself when the hour
for action strikes? He could not do it and
retain mis- self-respect or the respect of the
people. Were he to efface himself he would
sink into universal contempt.
The man who, simply to hold the office
would consent to be nothing in it would be
as Objectionable as the man who would as
sumo TO be the whole thing. OF the former
kind we have had as yet no experience
Those who have filed the great place have
exercised al of its functions. OF the latter
kind a recent experience will not soon be
forgotten.
Mr. Morgan's deliveranoe Is construed in
Alabama as a thrust at Mr.. Bryan. 1t bears
that construction with ease. Naturally the
organizes are much offended, and there is
some talk of opposing Mr.. Morgan for re-
turn to the Senate. He has played a con-
spicuously able and patriotic part in our
affairs. ara during the past six years has
been in the front rank of those who have
stood up for all tnat was best and bravest
IN the time of our international obligations
Neither the country nor the democratic
party can afford to permit him TO be sacri-
fcel.

Violence I'm Strikes,
From the New York Mail and Express.

From the New York Mail and Express
1t is the inalienable right of the wage
Garner to strike if he feels that he has a
grievance, financial or other, which cannot
be remedied save by this means: and to or
Sanize his fellows into labor unions for the
purpose of rendering this coerciVe plan eff.
fective. But it is equally the right of the
workingman to remain at his post IL he
isfactory to him. The law protects the
striker, but not the criminal. 1t must also
protect the man who declines to become a
striker.
Violence inevitably impairs or destroys the
force of any argument, and history proves
that it paves the way to disaster in labor
strikes The policy of riot is ruinous at all
times, but even labor leaders who believe
otherwise should be able to realize that ii
is hopeless where the strikers constitute q
minority of all the employees and labor sen
timent is divided concerning the merit OF
the points contended for.

General Otis and the Round Robin

The prompt reply of Gen. Otis to the COM
plaint of the newspaper correspondents at
Manila is a good sign. 1t shows that the
Importance of the matter was not lost on
the administration. 1t is likewise an as
surance as to the future.
Gen. Otis would appear to raise a ques-
ton of veracity between himself and the
protesting correspondents. Let US rather
regard the matter In less severe light
Let us give each side credit for a desire to
serve the country. The soldier and the
journalist do not occupy the same view
point. Gen. Otis may be one of those COM
manders who, If they could, would shut
out completely all newspaper correspon-
dents from scenes of war This note of
protest has often been heard. Several
Union generals during the civil war dis
tinguished themselves more for obstacles
which they placed in the way of represen-
tatives Of the press than for operations
against the enemy.
The situation today however, Is very
clear. The press is recognized factor in
every important military campaign. Its
services are not with safety or Justice to
be hampered or ignored. That 1t owes a
duty to the public is merely to say that 1t
owes a duty to itself. 1t should send to
the field men not only Of enterprise, but of
discretion; men who not only know news
but how to handle 1T; and. more than all
men whose whole souls are not welded to
scoops and sensations. In a word, the
press. to justify It's presence in camp
should subscribe TO all rules which have
the welfare OF the cause as the object OF
their PRONUNCIATION.

thought seriously to the problem Of road

of having the farmer work out his tax by
doing his share Of work for which he has as
little fitness as he has for doing any other
form of skilled labor outside Of his own
calling must give way.
