FOR A HALF.HoLIDAY.

one OF the leading Manufacturers OF
the city OF Lynn, Mass, is quoted in
the Boston Transcript AZ strongly in
favor Of the half.holiday movement for
the benefit Of the workmen, He Is said
TO be working diligently 10 bring about
an agreement between employers Of
laborers, by virtue Of which Saturday
afternoon shall be a general holiday all
the year round, instead Of IN the sum-
mer only And his reasons are not
merely phIlanthropic lie belieyes that
such an Arrangement would amply pay
He Is quoted as follows:
II fully believe that we would have
as much work accomplished at the end
of the week with a half-holiday on Sat-
urday az II we ran the factory until six
o'clock every Saturday evening When
we have a half-hOliday employees do
not have such good excuses for staying
out as they do the rest OF the year, ana
II we were 10 insist that the Saturday
afternoon holiday would be granted
only on condition OF no Sinking the
rest OF the week, | am positive that we
would all be gamers. The work thar
is done IN our factories Saturday after
moons for the rest OF the fall will amount
to so very little that II hardly pays to
keep the power on"
As general rule, 1t pays TO treat la
borers well. only a few years ago the
half-hollday movement during the sum
mer months was started in tlmld
way. by this time 1t seems to have
come not only to stay, but 10 expand In
TO a permanent institution. And
who, By the generosity
Of his employer gets half a working
day at home, has no excuse for vlolat-
ing the Sabbath. The reform advocated
BY the Lynn manufacturer should
gain support among all advocates OF
better Sunday Observance

REVOLT AGAINST MOB LAW.

The state OF Alabama deserves great
credit for the stand It's officers have
taken to put an end to mob law. In the
town Of Wetumpeka, a respectable"
farmer who admitted that he took ac-
tive part In the lynchlng of Robert
White several months ago, has been
sentenced to life Imprisonment, and the
public prosecutor has booked half
dozen others for trial on account Of
that murder. Some members Of the
mob are reported to have left the
country for parts unknown.
But this is not the only indication OF
wholesome change in public senti-
ment in regard to the atrocities that
have been committed recently. During
the last few weeks eight different
prisoners In North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ken
lucky and Texas have been success
fully protected against mobs, by the
officers, In one case, at Ashevllle, Ala.
the mob retired after a determined de-
Tense Of the court house, by the sheriff,
In which two OF the would-be lynchers
were left on the battlefield, one dead
and the other seriously wounded. At
another place, the entire mob was
driven away by the sheriff single hand
ed. These events prove that lynchings
can be prevented, ana refute the silly
statements that American officers are
powerless against a rabble. They also
show notable change of sentiment in
the interest OF law and order,
II has been sufficiently demonstrated
that lynohlngs do not act az a deterrent
to crime, even though they take the
form Of burning at the stake and the
distribution Of the gruesome remains
as souvenirs. Such acts inspire disre-
spect for all law and authority They
lncite to revenge instead. They intensi-
~ the race hatred and brutallze the
communities that tolerate them. That
can easily be proved by lynching Stats
tics. Only just laws. firmly admins
tered, can stop crime. That doctrine
should not be unknown TO twentieth
century civilization.
The Birmingham Age-Herald, speak
Ing Of the proper remedy against mob
law very well observes;
"The members OF a lynching bee have
no expectation OF encOuntering personal
risks They are looking for excitement
and frolic, not for battle. and when
a sheriff does his duty they go away.
They Went away In Carroll county, Ga.
and In Charlotte. n. c., and they dis
perscd themselves In our own Tusca-
loosa county The constitutional con-
yention located the trouble. when Il
practically called upon sheriffs to de-
lend their prisoners against mob ac-
ton. sherin Kyle shows how Il can be

dead should have no more force than

HOW TO STOP LYNCHINGS.

The Boston Herald prints a sermon
delivered by the Rev. Quincy Ewing in
ST, James Episcopal church. in Green
Vile, Miss, on the subject OF lynchings.
1t is a patriotic, just and timely cutlery
for righteousness and civilization. And
It is important as coming from one
born and reared In the South, and
thoroughly inbued with the Southern
spirit, He dis cusses the subject In the
most calm and dignihed manner, and
strips the apologists for mob rule Of
every vestige Of decent covering, We
hope many such voices will be heard
throughout the land. Silence whte
mobs are trampllng the law under foot
and spurning authority is criminal.
on the question of how to stop the
lynchings, Mr.. Ewing has this to say:
can the lynching of negroes be
stopped in Mississippi? Can II be
stopped? 1t can be, Just as soon as the
people OF Mississippi elect legislature
decent enough TO want TO stop It, We
have elected a decent governor, and all
honor crown his head for the stand he
has taken In this matter OF negro
lynchlng, in the face OF his blatant and
venomous detractors We have elect
ed a decent governor; now let the peo-
pie OF Mississippi elect a decent legis-
lature and the lynching demon win be
bound within It's hell den
Elect a legislature with manhood
enough, with moral backbone enough,
to pass a law simply imposing a big
money fine upon any county In which
lynching occurs; and lynchings, doubt
not, would be Of rare occurrence even
IN our counties that civilization has
most sighted Probe the pocket OF the
lyncher and you win speedily get at his
conscience
ELECT a legislature with decency
enough to want to stop lynching. mani
tested in the passing Of law vacatlng
the sheriffs office and making the shef-
III forever ineligible to any office Of any
kind who surrendered a prisoner TO a
mob. or did not do all that could rea-
sonahly be expected of him 20 prevent
ANYBODY charged with a crime from
falling into the hands OF mob. That
would discourage lynching for obvious
reasons that | need not mention.
I'm case neither Of these laws should
discourage II sufficiently, let the legis-
lature give the governor explicit power
20 send troops into any county where,
in his Judgment, the sheriff Is clearly
not doing his duty; Is standing In with
mob; has not taken those precau-
tions which the law allows him to pro-
tect a prisoner from would-be lynchers,
or persons not prisoners from a mob's
frenzy: to send troops into the county
10 handle the mob and run them down
and drag them to prison, Just as federal
troops In the West have often run
down and dragged to prison murderous
Indians and white desneradOes."

No man or woman can live for self

A DANGEROUS CUSTOM,


The folly and wrong Of permitting
boys to carry firearms. and Indulge IN
Shooting for fun with such dangerous
weapons, has received another sad IL
iustration. The tragedy at Huntsville
Is the latest object lesson Of this kind.
A valued and manly citizen Of that
place was shot and killed on Sunday
night, presumably by boy who fired
of pistol without any design or
thought Of doing injury, II was q piece
OF that carelessness which is the cause
Of so many fatalities,
II Is but a short time since an aged
lady was killed, near Cottonwood can
yon, by similar recklessness. In that
case there Is no doubt as TO the youth
who fired the fatal shot In the Hunts
VILE case the matter seems TO be sur
rounded with some shadow Of mystery.
The doubt, however, is not very strong
and 1t is evident that the death Of a
good man Is due 70 this abuse Of lib
erty In the use Of deadly weapons.
There should be strlcter precautions
than are common In this particular
Loaded guns and pistols are, frequent
ly, left where young people can reach
them and handle them In sport That
is really culpabe negligence, and those
who are guilty of It deserve severe CEN
sure II not punishment Inexperienced
boys ought not to be allowed to carry
such dangerous weapons.
II Is not right or lawful for older
persons to do so, ordinarily. The GUS
tom that was justihable in early times
and In a wild country, is now out OF
date, There Is no necessity for II,
except on rare occasions, and It ought
to be relegated to the limbo where
buckskin suits, long spurs, lassoes, In
dian trappings and powder-horns are
consigned.
There ought to be n general move
ment 10 put away tnls uncouth anu
dangerous practice, and cultivate more
civilized habits. Concerted action
among parents and leading men and
women in all our settlements will soon
bring about the needful change. Car
rylng revolver is no mark Of manll-
ness or bravery. 1t Is more like brag-
gadocio in a peaceable community and
ought to be regarded and treated with
ridlcule lnsead Of admiration. Other
pastlmes than shooting at mark with
IN the boundaries OF settlement, and
firing into the air In spirit OF rowdy-
ism, can be found by law-abiding men
and boys, and general sentiment
against such doings ought to prevail
In every part OF this progressive State.
