tant question submitted to it in
recent years-if not in a century;
the fact the administration is
relying upon favorable decision
to support its imperiaIistic plans;
and the fact that the appointees
are sons of judges whose opinions
may determine the position of the
court-these facts should have
been sufficient to prevent the
consideration of their names for
appointment at this time.
Suppose the case was being
tried beforea jury instead of a
Supreme Court, and suppose one
of the parties in the suit had given
lucrative positions to the sous of
two of the jurors after the jury
was impanelled and before the
verdict was rendered, could he
have escaped prosecution for
contempt of court? A juror
whose son had already received
such an appointment would be
challenged for cause and the
giving of such an appointment
during the trial could not but
impress an impartial court and
the public at large as AL attempt
to influence the jury. Is there
any vital difference between the
mind of a judge and the mind of q
juror? Can human nature and
family ties be disregarded in the
one case more than in the other?
To view the subject from another
standpoint, would the republican
national committee have been
willing to haye these appointments
made during the campaign? If
not, why not? 1t is certain that
such appointments would have
excited widespread criticism. 1t
is surprising that the appointing
power would be guilty of such
fragrant violation of off ,ial pro-
prietory, and scarcely less surprls-
ing that the sons of such honore,l
sires would ask for, or even accept,
under existing cir.
In 1896 the republicans ex
pressed great indignation because
the democratic platform suggest
I'd, in language much more polite
than that employed by Lincoln in
1860, a possibility of the reversal
If the income tax decision. And
yet no criticism of the court
by any individual or
party could do 1.-THE of the injury
mat hes already been done by
hese appointments. They are
street blows at the dignity and
Independence of the court, and the
silence observed by members of
The dominant party shows how
Imperialism and commercialism
Ire paraly zing the conscience of
the republican leaders.

TERRIBLE ~ TRUE.

If the statement made at the Method
list ecumenical convention In London
Is true, namely, that out OF ninety col
ored persons killed by lynchlng in 1900
only eleven had been proved guilty as
charged, OF assaulting white women,
an additional reason for the suppress
sion of mob violence has been furnished,
that ought to impress itself on the
mind Of every rational person.
The unfortunate feature OF lynch law
is that those VINO engage in 1t become
irrational. They appear to be so
swayed by passion that they are bereft
Of reason. Often they are more like
brute beasts than human beings, like
savages rather than civilized people.
Under such conditions the most inno-
cent of suspects are as likely to suffer
az the most guilty. Let the cry be
raised, Lynch him" and Justice, mer-
cy, law and common sense appear TO
vanish, aud reckless mobocraoy rules
and riots and incites to cruelty, in
humanity and murder,
In the consideration Of the subject,
we have never closed our eyes TO the
horror occasioned by the fiendish as
saults by negroes upon white vic
Tins, 1t thrills the system with
lnexpressible repulsion and wrath.
The first Impulse is that
hanging is too good for the wretch that
perpetrates the crime. But the sober
second thought is that in a country
where law prevails, every person how
ever guilty or supposed 10 be guilty,
is entitled to a talr trial before punish
ment and that only the constituted
legal authorities can properly pass upon
the crime and inflict the penalty.
That conclusion must be stamped
upon the mind OF every individual In
this land OF liberty and law, or anarchy
will be the result Of the opposite. The
thought that innocent persons have
been burned at the stake or throttied
with a rope, by mob violence and with
out the chance OF defence, IL awful to
contemplate and disegraceful to any
community where 1t has occurred, to
say nothing Of the culpabllity Of the
offenders in the sight Of the great anc

ny respect has been afforded them
freely Under such circumstances, 1t
was but natural to suppose that there
could be no soil here. In which the
discomfort could grow and develop That
criminal lunacy that IN other countries
prompts to regiclde
But that Is a mistake The fact Is
that a great many Of those pho plot and
plan against presidents, kings, and en-
perors do so, because they are possessed
by the demon Of hatred not toward any
particular form OF government but TO-
ard government as such. To them 1t

10 deal with II effectively Clearly, Il
Is not enough to pourout the fulvials OF
Justice upon the heads Of the halt
wltted individuals that are but the
tools Of others. Some more radical
measures are required.
1t Is quite possible that thorough In
vestlgatlon OF the entire question, such
as proposed by Mai sylvester will dis
close tho fact that there Is such thing
as the abuse OF the freedom Of speech

entirely suppress, IN a free country, the

the fact remains that the real assassins
