tanned through the action of a law
less, mrrrderous mob. The suit was
not filed i'm a court Of the state III;
which the lyDching occurred, but was
brought in the United States circuit
court sitting in Chicago, to which
place the widow was compelled to flee
i'll order to save her life, the same men
who had murdered her husband hay
ing attempted to murder her also.
Tt was no doubt the duty Of the
sheriff to protect his prisoner and hav"
ing failed to do so it was but just that
he or his bondsmen should pay the
widow for having been deprived Of her
natural protector and benefactor. But
this in nowise affects the men who
composed the mob. The futility of at
tempting to arrest and punish a gang
Of lynchers is so we'll known that it IL
but rarely attempted. The only way
to reach them is through a law which
makes a county within which a lynch
ing takes place pecuniarily RESPONSE
bic to the relatives Of the lynched
person. We're such a law in existence
in Indiana the county in which Jen-
kins was lynched and not the sheriff
or his sureties would be compelled to
pay the widow. While this would
mot work a physical hardship upon
| the, members Of the mob, it is true,
yet they would probably be struck
where they liked it least-in their
pockets. The knowledge that for
every person lynched the community
would be compelled to stand a heavy
mmlct would often act as a deterrent to
lynclaing and the men who are always
ready to attach themselves to a mob
for the purpose Of taking human life
would probably think twice before
allowing themselves to be governed
by their unlawful impulses The
increase in taxes which a few judg-
ments of that kind would mean would
be. the best sort of a preventive of
lynching that probably could be de-
vised- As long as a certain class OF
men know that by participating i'll
mob, law they incur no greater risk
thau that Of being arrested and pun
isheG for their unlawful act they hest
tate, bat little, we'll knowing that in
\ SUCH cases the sympathy Of the COM
masnity is usually with them and that
the, laws machinery SO far as they
are. concerned is impotent and they
:, are. in no danger. Let it be known,
; however, that the community itself
will be punished and the matter as
s&1mes a different aspect. Then the
sentiments against lynch law will be
conae, so STRONG that no will care to
), take the lead in organizing a mob.
Not enough men could be found will
ing. to- take part TO make a lynching
!, possible
The, case of the Indiana widow is a
F hint to the legislatures Of states in
which lynehing is prevalent and one
that they shonld act upon, unless
n they approve of mob law and count
enaMce it.

and the treachery of others oonspired
to bring about the very end it now
pretends to deplore. 1t is not seeking
to degrade and discredit Senator Car
ter because he happens to be Senator
Carter. It would with equally as
little hesitancy assail Colonel Sanders,
Colonel Goddard or any other promi-
nent republican did it believe that by
doing so it could accomplish the same
result. With the Herald it is not a
matter of an individual, but Of a
party and it seeks to wreck the n by
assailing the other. Knowing the
prominence of the man it has singled
out and the trust the party has al
ways reposed in him, it seeks to de-
stroy that trust and sow the seed of
distrust and hatred, thinking thereby
to make its real task all the easier of
accomplishment.
The Herald is a democratic sheet,
incorporating as a republican to
better enable it to serve its master.
The clique now owning and control
ing it know that as an open and
avowed democratic publication it
would have no more weight or infu-
ence than any other organ Of the
party, so they conduct it as a suppos-
eddy republican paper III order that
they may reach an element otherwise
beyond contact.
The Gazette will not say a word
against the republicanism of either
Mr.. Goddard or Mr.. Sanders, for il
knows them to be above suspicion in
that direction, and honors them as re-
publicans and good citizens. But in
allowing themselves to listen to the
pleadings of the Helena trull they
made a mistake and are doing the very
opposite from what they hoped and
believed they were doing. BY their
u%tterances they are injuring the party
and playing into the hand Of a traitor.
They give it recognition and unwit-
tingly endorse it's republicanisn'.
When they felt that they must say
something, instead Of making the col
umns of the Herald their vehicle of
expression, they should have decided
upon some reputable and recognized
organ of the democratic party. The
Helena Independent, Butte Miner,
Anaconda Standard OF any other dem
ocratic paper would probably have
been glad to give them space and the
same, object would have been attained.
Those newspapers are of standing and
while the policies and doctrines they
advocate are not such as amy republic
can can subscribe to-. they are entitled
to the sincerity of their convictions
and the respect that an open and hon-
est enemy compelsr from. his adversary.
! While no doubt appreciative OF the
benefit the Helena Esterhazy has been
to their party, they nevertheless,
must feel that contempt and scorn all
people fell toward a traitor. not ever
excluding the beneficiary. of that trea.

Mans Voice in the Harem.

perhaps the strangest place
where the American graphophone
has found welcome is the harem
of the unspeakable Turk. No
man may enter there except the
lord and master. But he has
graclously permitted the voice of
man to be heard in the marvellous
American talking machine. No
entertainer" says an American
resident in Constantinople "was
ever so popular as the graphic
phone, although the harem has
been we'll supplied with musical
instruments. For long time, as
| am informed by II dealer, it was
not clearly understood why so
many graphophones per capita
were used in Turkey than in
countries where the homogeneous
marriage is in vogue, and where
the prevailing ethics sanction
intercourse among ladies and
gentlemen" ."-AlnSLee'S.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE.

In discussing woman suffrage
Progress says: The general argu.
ment for woman suffrage is the
same as the argument for having a
a republic rather than a monarchy.
1t is fair and right that those who
must obey the laws should have a
voice in making them, and that
those who are obliged to pay the
taxes should have a voice as to the
amount of the tax and the way in
which the taX-mOney shall be
spent. Roughly stated, the funda-
mental principle of a republic is
this; In deciding what is to be
done, where everybody's interests
are concerned, we take every
body's opinion, and go according
to the wish of the majority. Since
we cannot suit everybody, we do
what will suit the greatest num-
Der. That seems to be, on the
whole, the fairest way. a vote is
simply written expression of
opinion, written down and put in
to a box so that it may be counted.
n'thus takiug vote to get at
the wish Of the majority, certain
classes Of persons are always pass
ed over, whose opinions, for one
reason or another, are thought not
to be worth counting. In most of
our States, these classes are chill
drens, aliens, idiots, lunatics, Grim
inals and women. There are good
and obvious reasons for making
all these exceptions but the last.
1t is clear that no account ought
to be taken of the opinion of chill
dren, lunatics or criminals. Is
there any equally good reason
why no account should be taken Of
the opinions of women? If not, it
would seem that women ought to
have a vote, on general principles
of fair play.

An Important Arrest.

Deputy Sheriffs John Parks and
Lee Hobbs visited the Blue country
last week and arrested Sidney
J Johnson, who, it is alleged, held
up saloon at Naco several weeks
ago and relieved it Of $1,000 in
Mexican money, and disappeared,
since which time no trace of him
was had until his arrest. He is
a hard-looking young mana
mere boy. He was most indiffer-
entity clad, and did not have the
appearance of ever having had
any money. He was brought into
Clifton and taken to Solomonville
by the deputies who made the
arrest and he acknowledged to
them that he had gambled off his
money, but denied having been
implicated in the holdup. From
Solomonville he was taken to
Benson by Sheriff Parks, where
he was turned over to the sheriff
of Cochise county, who at once
recognized the prisoner as the
man wanted. He is now in Jail at
Tombstone, and if proven guilty
will no doubt get sentence of
several years at Yuma.
The capture of the highwayman
is a good card for the sherifFs

A HOUSTON, TEXAS, man gave ex-
preston to the following a few
days ago: Governor Hoggs' ref
erence to the Roosevelt-Washing-
ton dinner reminds me of the way
in which my wife gave expression
to her views on the subject. For
some time past picture of Roose-
velt has occupied a prominent posi-
tion on the wall Of our dining
room. Every member Of the
family was an admirer of the
Rough Rider, and when he became
president all of US felt proud of
having appreciated his greatness
when he held less important posi-
tions. Things rocked along that
way until the dinner incident. On
the evening of the day on which
The Post printed a number of ex-
pressions on the subject from the
principal papers of the country, /
went home to find nothing but
blank wall where formerly the
picture of the strenuous one had
reposed. where's the picture?' /
asked my wife. She led me into
the kitchen where the first thing
/ observed was our colored cook
in the complete enjoyment of her
supper. Following my wife's
glance | saw the picture of our
president on the wall just above
the table at which sat the cook.
Il thought said my wife, as we
turned to leave the room, that I'd
give him chance to entertain rep
resentatives of Booker II. Wash
ington's race at every meal. The
picture is still on the kitchen

A NEWSPAPER, who's columns
overflow with advertisements OF

in attracting attention to building
up a town, than any other agency
that can be employed. People go
where there is business. Capital
and labor go where there is an en-
terprising community. No power
on earth is so strong to build up
town so we'll as a news paper

ATTORNEY GENERAL DECLINES

h Attorney General Ainsworth has
refused to bring suit against Audi
tor Vickers, his bondsmen and the
persons to whom warrants are al
legged to have been illegally issued
as demanded recently in COM
munication addressed to the attor-
ney general by Mr.. Thomas F.
Wilson, of Tucson.
In declining to bring these suits,
says the Citizen, the attorney gen
eral has not surprised anyone.
The servitor is not apt to disobey
the orders of his master, and moth
ing is better known than that
Governor Murphy is the master Of
of Mr.. Attorney General Aims
worth. But it was not necessary
for the attorney general to bubble
and pettyfog or attempt to draw
a red herring across the trail of the
illegal warrants. The committee
of the council that Investigated the
auditor last winter took the num-
bers Of the warrants given by him,
and if he was mistaken or if the
stenographer or typewriter who
took his testimony, was incorrect
in writing numerals, the situation
was not materially altered. The
attorney general and the auditor
are not paid out of the contingent
fund and it is the robbers of the
contingent fund that Mr.. Wilson is
seeking to bring to justice.
Of course, the request to the at.
torney general that he bring the
suits was mere formality of law.
No one expected that he would do
it. He has too much regard for
his job. But the suits will be
brought just the same, and the at
torney general will not be an en-
barrassment to those who are
seeking to compel restitution of
public money unlawfully extract
ed from the treasury.
We think it can safely be assum-
ed that the elimination of the at
torney general from the proceed
ing will be in the interest of JUS
tice and that Mr.. Wilson and his
associates can be relied upon to
make the issue of the suits plain
enough to satisfy Court and Jury,
and the taxpayers whose rights
are paramount and whose interests
the attorney general has declined
to consider.
