THE EVILS OF LYNcHlNe.

One of the strongest arguments that be made
against ynching the harm that it does to the lynch
ers themselves
There is no doubt that when the lynchers be-
eve themselves to be in the right as the white of
the South undoubtedly do when they lynch negro
the rape of white strong tendency is deve
oped among the ynchers akin the rage of the tiger
who has tasted blood The lynchers, even when they
believe they have melted out justice, prone not
stop but to continue their hangmans work often upon
innocent persons, out of sheer lust for blood.
There is also a strongly marked tendency in com
munites where lynchng is resorted to to lynch for
other crimes than for rape If this tendency is not
checked it will lead to the abolition disuse of the
administering of punishment for crime through the
strumentay OF the to the substitution of
mob law for all ofenses which is tantamount to the
overturnng of civilization and the proclamation of
anarchy
An example of the first tendency of ynching mobs
become with lust for blood is shown by the
facts embodied in the following editorial from the Co
umbus Enquirer-sun:
The work of the mob at City Mo- last week fur
nishes ndspuabe proof of the fact that innocent people
ed n,nr bpJ beer burned ar the satcbe most creI
and barbarous punishment inflicted by civilized
savageand yet the inuriated mob not satisfied The
horrible holocaust only whet appetite for blood
and before the fires kinded around burned
out committed additional cold blooded murders.
First they shot death old man. against whom there
other charge than that he the father OF the victim
their then burned alive old years
Of age sick bed burning his house down upon his
helpless head This should have been enough to have caused
the blocdthrsy stay his hand but After
these additional crimes had been committed the mob armed
with Winchester rifles, shotguns and pistols went to the
quarters of the and began to shoot beat and drive
Of their homes ali the in the town. and to set FIRE
to their houses.
In this the evil effects OF mob plainly shown,
the innocent suffering more from its Jury than the guilty
And what has occurred in Pierce City Mo- is likely to occur
in any State in the Union. Wherever arc permitted
have free mob violence similar
liable Such violations Of the law if persisted in,
sure increase and but lead to demoalized state
OF affairs
An example of the second tendency of ynching for
other crimes than rape is afforded by the recent in
stance in Wood county. Gains Gordon, negro was
lynched there Friday last for killing and Tobbiug
w. Shoemaker There is possible excuse for such
lynchng as this The courts fully competent to
deal with the case of a man who commits murder and
robbery. When the people take into their own hands
case such this and proceed to mete out what they
believe is wild justice they bring upon their
munity the whole State the reproach of lack of
civilization

What are the most expressive phrases
In colloquial English? OF the dozens
that slip OF English speaking tongues
in the course of Il day some must be
better suited for their purpose and
more characteristic of the race that
originated them than others. When
foreigners come to this country, they
catch certain expressions almost imme-
diately and long before they can at
tempt to speak the language have
made them part of their vocabulary.
1t would seem that these phrases must
be the most expressive in English and
that they are peculiar to the language
and "fll long felt want" since for
