A REMEDY FOR LYNcH1xG.


AS a social institution the lynching bee
has been gaining rather than losing in
popularity for some years past. Now,
upon the commission of any offense more
than ordinarily hienous, in certain sec
tions of tine country, it is the established
custom to organize a lynching party and
''vindicate" the law in the manner most
acceptable to the thoroughly lawless ele-
ments of all society
There is hardly a day that passes with
out the press dispatches advising their
readers Of the commission of some Of
Tense which has been followed by the
lyrching of the offender or by an unsuc-
cessful attempt at lynching. Each sue
| ceeding example seems to offer encour-
agement to those who pursue this par
| ticular form of lawlessness.
Thus far no remedy has presented it
self to the public for this disgraceful
state of things. The offended public au-
thority in no case seems able to assert
! ITSELF save where some jail official more
than ordinarily courageous is able 70
stand between the mob and it's thirst for
| blood.
What may prove to be a remedy for
the evil, to some extent at least, is offer
| ed through a recent decision of the Ohio
state courts. In that state law exists
making the localities in which lynchings

| sonal representatives of the victims Of
such acts of violence. The effectiveness
of such law has been tested in the
| courts successfully.
One Charles w. Mitchell was lynched in
Urbana in 1897. An administrator was
appointed of his estate, and suit was
brought by the administrator against
Champaign county under the law for $5,-
court was for the plaintiff The case was
carried through all the intermediate
courts to the supreme court, and in every
case the verdict was sustained So that
in the state OIL Ohio at least Tile COM
munity in which such a crime is COM
mitted must be prepared to pay the PEN
atty
If the damages were certain to be as
sessed Immediately on the community in
which lynchings took place the cost
would have to be borne Immediately by
those who took part in the transaction or
abetted or suffered it's commission by
others. 1t may well be doubted whether
the common law does not give the rem
edy so successfully invoked in Ohio with
out the existence of any statute law
authorizing it. The community is liable
under the common law for injury done to
property through mob violence. There is
not, and there ought not to be- any SUBJ
stantial distinction in such cases between
personal and property rights
No doubt if this rule could be made of
neutrality-suspicious. throughout the South
and Southwest there would be fewer of
such brutal transactions. Since there Is
apparently no public sentiment sufficient
ly strong in the vicinities in which such
happenings occur, it seems both lust and
expedient that the cost should be made
to rest as heavily as possible on those
who set themselves to defy and bring
into contempt the established agencies
of law and order

PASSED FOR THE PRESENT

It is not so long ago since the ques-
ton was under consideration whether
given man in public life was better than
his party. The discussion might reason
ably enough be revived regarding Presi-
dent Mckinley, in view of his recent
declaration against a third term. The
declaration itself has the distinct merit
of being unmistakable The president is
not and will not be a candidate for
third term, and in the event of his nomi-
nation would refuse to accept That is
mis- position, and it leaves nothing to be
wished for by those who are opposed
the principle of a third term
The incident was a useful one 1t makes
1t reasonably plain that the active poll
ticians of the Republican party, those
who control its machinery and shape it's
policies, stand ready at any moment to
give their adhesion to the principle when
they find an acquiescent character in the
presidential chair, as they found one in
President Grant.
Press and politicians alike manifested
q marked degree Of care in their express
sions on the subject of a third term for
the president, just as they are now heard
singing paeans of praise of him because
he waved off the offer of third nomina-
tion, which would undoubtedly have been
his had he indicated the slightest desire
to secure it. There is disappointment
rather than elation among those who are
in the leadership of the party at the sud-
den ending of a very promising move
ment It is not likely that the American
public VIII be deceived by the acclama-
tons which now prevail at the presidents
refusal. The real feelings of those con-
cerned We're too plainly shown when the
movement began to assume serious pro-
portions. The twin colonels-Depew and
Grosvcnor-were a bit premature in
their expression of the palpable prefer
enco of those who exercise even a more
powerful influence on the councils of the
party than they do themselves. That
is all
! 1t is a long cry to the next Republican
national convention. But the men who
have managed things for us during the
past four years or over may not be ex-
pected to let the grass grow beneath their
/ feet in selecting a man who will answer
their purposes quite as well as Mckinley
has
3 Altogether the Glob is disposed to
regard the situation as one which de-
Inands that congratulations be at once
extended to the Hon. Marcus Aurelius
Hanna on the favorable turn which his
individual political fortunes have taken
within the past forty-eight hours.

If the young cubs can invent an exercise
that is not covered by this definition, or
if they can think up some indignity to
impose upon the freshmen which will not
come under this inhibition, they will earn
all the fun they get out of it. Root seems
to be doing business with a lawyers thor

publican nomination, now that Mckinley
has sidetracked himself? All the cadets

words were those which Immediately fol-

never did and never tried to promote
Thus Chandler pays mis- 800 to he man
who inserted into the platform pledge
which he knew the party never intended
to carry out. But it won and that makes
it all right. Now will not Mr. Chandler

BORN TO SERVE

CHAPTER I.-CoNTrNUEp.


Yet she had herself said many times
during her college course in the study
of social economics that service was a
noble thing. And, as she went up to
her room that night after a long and
tender conference with her mother, 20
which the two had grown nearer to-
gether than ever before, she seemed
to call to mind the many passages of
the New Testament which speak of
Jesus not only as a household servant
but even as a "bond servant" And it
came to her with heaven-born courage
that if the Son of God became 'fulI
grown" through His sufferings en-.
dured in ministering to others, why
might it not be the way in which she
and all other of Gods children should
develop their real lives and grow into
power as kings and queens in the King
dom? 1t is doubtful if ever before
that evening Barbara had caught a
real glimpse of the meaning of serv-
Ice. She did catch something of it
now. She opened her New Testament,
and it was not by chance that she
turned to the passage in Luke, twenty
second chapter:
sand there arose also q contention
among them which of them is account
ed to be the greatest. And He said
unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
have lordship over them; and they that
have authority over them are called
benefactOrs. But ye shall not be so;
bat he that is greater among you, let
him become as the younger, and he
that is chief as he that doth serve. For
which is greater, he that sitteth at
meat or he that servethT Is not he
that sitteth at meat? But 1 am in the
midst of you as he that serveth. But
ye are they which have continued with
me in my temptations. And 1 appoint
unto you kingdom even as my Father
appointed unto me, that We may eat
and drink at my table in my kingdom" :"
(Luke 22:24-29)
Then she kneeled and prayed:
"Dear Lord, make me fit to serve,
use me to the glory of Thy kingdom in
the new life before me. Make me
worthy to be a servant, to be like my
Master. Amen"
So Barbara Clark began her new ex-
perience, which profoundly affected
not only her own life fo1 all time to
come, but the lives of very many other
souls in the world. And that night she
slept the sleep which belongs to all
the children of the kingdom, whose
earthly peace is as the peace of God.
