Does Lxnehine Deter orimaP

Some discussion has been called
ont recently by the number of lynch
ings which have occurred in the past
year, as to whether crime does not
increase instead of decrease under
such regime. 1t would appear that
lynching is no deterrent and that
legal punishment would be more eff.
fectual. In support of this the Chi.
cago Tribune says:
"The number of lynchings during
the present year to date has been
ninety-nine. In no other year during
the last decade has the number been
so large during the same period. OF
this total there have been thirteen in
the North and eighty-six in the
South. This is not stated invidiously,
but because the relations between
lynching and crime are most con-
spicuous and most easily studied in
the South. If the theory Of the adj
vocates of lynching be true, then this
unusual increase in the number of
lynehings should have been accom-
panied by an unusual decrease in
crimes committed. Has such been
the case ?
"Far from it. While crime has
increased all over the country, it has
increased most rapidly in the South,
and in the four States, Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana,
where lynchings are most frequent.
In Mississippi the record of the last
thirty days shows forty-fve murders
committed. In other States there
has been a corresponding increase.
Evidently lynchings does not prevent
murder. In the South criminal as
sault is characterized as the usual
cause Of lynching, though it is not
50, murder being the principal cause
year by year. Lynching, however,
has been regarded as the remedy for
that crime, but, instead of preventing
or even decreasing it, it is rapidly in
ereasing, and most rapidly in the
sections where lynchings are most
numerous and most barbarous. Is il
not about time, then, for lynchers to
ask why their prescription fails, and
for the people Of the South to deter
mine that the enforcement Of law is a
more effective remedy, and that the
punishment Of crime by the com
mission Of crime is a failure wherev.
er tried ?''

OBITUARY.

MISS GERTRUDE VAN GORDEN.
After an illness of long duration
Miss Van Gorden died at the home
of her parents in Dingman's Ferry
Tuesday morning, September 10th.
Her ailment was Bright's disease.
She was a daughter of Randall and
Hannah Decker Van Gorden and
was born about 25 years ago. Her
home has always been in Delaware
township, though born in Lehman.
She was a most exemplary young
lady, a consistent member of the Re-
formed church and active in Chris
tian endeavor society. OF an ami
able disposition she won many
warm friends who alike with those
near and dear to her will deeply de-
plore her departure, Just in the full
blush Of womanhood when the vista
Of life seems brightest and hopes are
most sanguine it is sad that such
bereavements must come and the
blossoms which promise much of joy
and fruition be blighted and wither
away.
Her sorrOwing parents, a brother,
Warren, and four sisters, Hattie,
Linda and LOttie at home, and Liz
zie, wife Of Floyd s. Bevans Of West
fall, survive. The funeral services
will be held today, Friday, at the
house at 2p. m. and interment in
Milford cemetery.

RNNA%A-rN
so completely TO the task of caring
fol a beloved and delicate woman
without becoming refined and en-
nobled by the performance Of the
duty.
This is why, with an interest
quite apart from sensation seeking,
great crowds of people tlironged the
avenues near the newspaper Offices
and watched the bulletin boards
eagerly until past midnight Friday
night, for news Of the presidents
condition.
A curious item appears in the
news which the war department is
giving out. The act of congress
which increased the army to 100, 600
men caused promotions all along
the line and eventually there were
about 900 vacancies in the position
of second lieutenant to be filled by
the president, The law is that these
places shall be filled by giving com
missions to enlisted men who pass
the examination and by the ap-
pointment of men within certain
age limits who have served in the
volunteer army. The famine al
luded to is not due to a lack of APP
plicants. Secretary Root had near
ly $4,000 applications to sort over
and weed out, and probably every
one of the applicants thought he
could perform the duties of the po-
sition to perfection The enlisted
men had the first chance About
400 took the examination, and
nearly 200 passed and received their
commissions. Then many of the
former volunteer officers and men
were disposed Of, by being designat-
ed for appointment. 1t is not known
how many of them have been
through this experience, but the to.
tai runs into the thousands. The
trouble seems to be that thoy can
not pass the examinations. Some
of them are complaining that these
are unduly severe, but the depart
ment says that men appointed in
this way enter the service on n sup
posed equality with West Point
graduates and ought to know, if not
as much, at least somewhere near as
much as the cadet Knows at gradua-
ton. Many of them probably know
more in some ways. But the point
is that it is the aim of the depart
ment to place in responsible posi-
tions men who come from families
which attach some Importance to
education, or who have had the
spirit and energy to get an educa-
ton for themselves and the exami-
nation is the only practical method
of wedding out uneducated men
who have nothing in comm on with
their brother officers. In short, the
education is a sort of shlbboleth.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that there are said to be at pres
ent over 400 vacancies, and nobody
who was not in the army during
the Spanish war is eligible.

Alter the t1rSt shock his condition
has been steadily improving and he
is now thought to be entirely out OF
danger.
From every source, from all ma
tions and from people in every walk
of life from the highest to the lowest
have come expressions of horror at
the wholly unwarranted attack on
the life of our nations ruler. When
Lincoln was shot by the fanatic Booth
nearly forty years ago it was at a
time when mighty passions were
disturbing the country which had
just emerged from a terrible civil
war. Society was in a ferment,
politics disturbed the minds of all and
while the act could not be justified,
such acts never can be, there was at
least shadow of pretext for the
deed. Twenty years ago Garfield
met a like fate at the hand of one
who sought revenge for a fancied
neglect of his importunings. Disap-
pOintment nerved his hand and fred
his lunatic brain to commit the grav-
est crime known to the law. But
now the country is at peace, in the
high tide of prosperity, no wrang-
ling elements or discordant factions
striving in mastery of passion for
supremacy. The assassin of Mckinley
had no grievance against him or his
party. There were absolutely no
grounds, either personal or public,
on which to rest the slightest reason
for the murderous act.
Leon Czolgosz, who fired the
shots, as he says, aimed them not
at an individual but at an organized
government as personified in Presi-
dent Mckinley. He had no person.
al grievance against him, no discon-
tent over the condition of the couD-
try, nothing but q desire in con-
formity with the teachings of the
society called anarchists" to strike
down all government, regardless OF
individuals or consequences For
such opinions which their exponents
attempt TO enforce in this manner
there can be no charity, nothing
but utter adherence and a determi-
nation on the part of all citizens in
every land who have a spark of pa
triotism to wipe from the face Of the
earth those who resort to such
means to illustrate their so-called
principles. That this feeling has
been aroused throughout the world
is evident from the general express
sion, and If there is a providential
aspect to this case it may be that
the violent act will be the means Of
awakening such horror at the re-
pulsive deed and the incendiary sen.
timent which engendered it that
the nations will rise in their might
and crush out the last vestige Of an
archy in the whole civilized world.

PRESIDENT mK1N1Bx SHOT.
While Attending the Bufalo Expo
sition He Receives Two Bullets
from An Assassin's Pistol.

eAN"A eAAA aANMaANNAA ANAAAa
Friday evening. Sept. the start
ling and shocking announcement
flashed over the wires to almost
every part of the civilized world
that President william MCKINLEY
had been shot while standing in the
Music Hall at Buffalo receiving the
people. Probably before this time
nearly every person in this country
is fully acquainted with the details
of that cowardly and murderous as
sault. How the president, while
standing surrounded by friends
smilingly greeting the people as
they passed shaking for one brief
moment his hand, was twice fired
upon by an assassin who held a pis-
tol in his hand concealed by hand
kerchief The two shots took effect,
one striking the second rib and
glancing off, inflicting a compara-
lively minor injury; the other en-
tering the abdomen and causing a
most serious and dangerous wound,
and from which the gravest results
were likely to eusue.

that fearful night, "but she begged
for DR.. Kings New Discovery, which
had more than once saved her life,
and cured her of Consumption. At

Another difficulty is bothering
the navy department. Surgeon
General Van Reypen of the navy is
trying to find four young doctors
who can pass the examination for
the position of assistant surgeon in
the navy department.. 1t has been
hard work of late to find good men
for the grade of assistant surgeons,
and the medical corps has not been
complete since the civil war. The
trouble seems to be that the require
ments are so great that most of the
men who can pass the examination
are in private practice and earning
good incomes. The navy depart
ment also has trouble in getting
sailors for cruisers and battleships.
