NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

The American public Is disposed to look
on the self-willed pranks of college stu
dents with even a kindlier feeling than
that of liberation. For centuries, and in
every land working upward toward uni
Yersal enlightenment, this same disposf-
ton or something akin to it, has pre-

Fleged they may be, will ever be permitted
to cross with impunity in this free coun-
try. These lines mark the domain of the
absolute and indefeasible right of every
American citizen to pursue his vocation
and his purposes in life without fear or
molestation from any man or set of men
as long as he trangresses no law and en-
eroaches on no right belonging to his fell
low man. 1t is this domain which the
Princeton students invaded They placed
their college traditions above the law
and above the rights of citizenship, and
they appealed to mob violence TO main

The mid-road Populist represents
type of political activity which surpasses
the understanding of all the rest of crel-
ton. Taking the middle of the road usu--
ally results in the blocking of traffic I'M
less the road is wide or the obstruction
is ditched. Whether through the insig-
niticance of the obstruction or the width
OF the road, the political procession has
recently passed the mid-road band wagon
by without any serious embarrassment
Now, however, since Messrs. Wharton
Barker and Ignatius DonnelIy were not
found to embody all the considerations Of
presidential availability by their political
brethren, it is proposed to leave the mid
die Of. the road and take place in the
regular PopuIist procession.
This would, indeed, be commendable
procedure, were it not attended by condi-
tons and limitations which render :ts
expediency doubtful. When one traveller
volunteers to keep another company for
any length of time, the presumption is
that he finds the company acceptable

his fellow voyager: eff you will travel
just At my rate of speed and submit your
self entirely to my guidance 1 will keep
you company. But if you fail to do as I
direct YOU to do, I will not only leave
your company, but 1 will throw my en-
tire caravan in front of you and in every
way possible hamper and prevent your
progress"
This is the only form of political part
nership which these amiable persons will
tolerate. They will agree to go into q
political convention, provided that con-
vention and the delegates chosen to it
agree to obey their direction If they
fail, then these political pariahs will bolt
and pursue their chosen policy of disrup-
ton. If the Populists of the country are
willing to accept political fellowship on
these lines, they are to be regarded as in

fit to step outside the pale of the law
must take the responsibility of being
treated as criminal, no matter who or
what he may be.
The authorities of the town of Prince
ton are greatly to blame in not having
made proper provision in anticipation of
the difficulty that took place. They
knew of the foolish disposition of the
students to refuse the right claimed.
They should have been prepared to up
hold the law when they gave license to
have the exhibition made. Their stu

followed by more serious physical re-
