NOT CONFINED TO SECTIONS.

The crime of negro burning appears
to be confined to no section. It is as
liable to occur IN Kansas as IN Texas
in Indiana as in Missouri; IN Ohio as in
Florida It is horrible, no matter
where it occurs, and it leaves an evil
impress. The guilt of the Kansas
victim does not appear to have been
clearly proven. He may have been in
nocent. The mob is not always partic-
uIar in the matter of proving its
victims guilt before hand, though it
may do so afterwards, or try to do so.
Mob law seems to be the product of
comparatively new countries. 1t is
seldom heard of in countries of older
civilization. It is apt to prevail most
where the law is laxly enforced. 1t Is
seldom that the courage of mob is
tested when so it is usually found to be
without courage. The coward becomes
feroclous when he joins the mob. The
mobs hows brutality which, as individ-
uals, it would not show. 1t feeds
upon it's own fire and fattens upon dead
so to speak, Il Stays
besides its victim.

ARMoUR's RULES OF SUCCESS
Good men are not cheap.

Good men are not cheap.
Capital can do nothing without
brains to direct it.
No general can fight his battles
alone. He must depend upon his
lieutenants, and his success depends
upon his ability to select the right man
for the right place.
There is no such thing as luck.
Most men talk too much. Much of
my success has been due to keeping my
mouth shut.
The young man who wants to marry
happily should pick out good mother,
and marry one of her daughters any
one will do.
