WHERE LAWLE8SNESs DOMINATE

WHERE LAWLESSNESS DOMINATES
There has been another lynching bee
in the South. 1t occurred in Harrison
County, Tex. According to the news of
the affair that had leaked out prior
to yesterday, four negroes had been
killed. Three were hanged and one was
whipped to death.
Negroes, it is said, after renting
lands from wealthy planters, refused,
for some reason, to harvest the crops,
thus depriving the planters of their
share of the yield. This state of affairs
caused the organization of a posse
which visited the home of one of the
offending blacks. The negro shot one
of the white men. Then the inevitable
negro hunt, with its sickening results,
followed.
One need not go down into Texas,
though, to find a community given over
to lawlessness. AS already stated in
The Spy, San Francisco is the scene of
a prolonged strike that has constantly
given rise to lawless acts. 1t is said
that since the freight and dray team
sters began the fight against the en-
ployment of non-union men by the
merchants, which led to a sympathetic
strike by the stevedores and longshore-
men, there have been 5000 assaults and
two murders in san Francisco.
Now, although it can scarcely be
.
there is talk of the organization by
the citizens of San Francisco, of an old
fashioned Vigilance Committee. If
there was ever an excuse for a Vigil
lance Committee, it scarcely remains
now. The lynchings that startle the
world, today, are very likely in con-
siderable degree a heritage from the
primitive Western methods of admin
istering punishment.

COUNTRY LIFE SUITS COL. BRYAN
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, edi-
tor Of the Commoner, celebrated the
seventeenth anniversary of his mar
riage, Tuesday, by laying a cornerstone
for new mansion on his 40-acre farm,
three miles east of Lincoln. Who can
suggest more fitting way of marking
such an occasion? The day was also
the fourteenth anniversary of the COM
ing to Nebraska of Colonel and Mrs.
Bryan. When the new house is COM
pleted the city house will be sold, for
it is the coloneTs intention to live on
the farm.
There is no indication that he intends
to devote his attention to rural pur-
suits, for the farmer who has been en-
ployed by the colonel for the past two
years has been retained. 1t does look,
however as though Mr.. Bryan were
settling down to the quiet conduct of
business and to the enjoyment of life
Unless appearances are deceitful, Col
onel Bryan will have at his command
plenty of silver and gold, too, if he
wishes for it.

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION

Several important questions are to
come before the triennial convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States, which opened in San
Francisco, yesterday morning. The
ones of chief interest are: the marriage
of divorced persons, the ritual, and the
Hawaiian Church.
Those who are back of the ritualistic
movement declare that they wish an
investigation. Through a discussion Of
the question, it is said, they hope to
advance their cause. The churches
chiefly interested in this matter are To-
Gated in Chicago, New York. Spring
field, Fond du Lac and San Francisco.
What brought the ritualistic question
prominently forward was the ritual
used at the conservation of the bishop
Of Fond du Lac. By many that ritual
is held to be very irregular, and it is
scarcely thought that 1t can escape the
attention of the convention.
The committee on marriage and d.
vorce recommends that no divorced
persons be permitted to re-marry in the
Episcopal Church. 1t has been Gus
tomary to permit the innocent person,
where divorce is granted for adultery.
to marry again. The committee urges
against even the re-marriage of the
innocent parties to divorce, since uni
form divorce laws cannot be brought
about.
Before the annexation Of Hawaii the
Episcopal Church in the islands was
under the direction of the Church Of
England When the islands became a
part Of the United States the Episco-
pal Church there fell under the au-

The great hall was filled with music.
to the muse and monied vulgarity
brushed elbows with penniless gen
tility. Vulgarity and gentility have
ways of getting there" A woman
who was neither poor and proud, nor
rich and hypocritical, stole along dark
stairway and paused outside a half
open door The music set her brain
on fire. AS the strain rose and rose
again she longed to see as well as to
hear She thought if she could get one
glimpse of the world renowned pianist,
some thing would, remain with her to
strengthen the memory of the music,
that she was beginning to lose, so
swiftly flowing came the measures.
With personality linked to song, she
felt that the deepest joy of recollec-
ton would be hers. She drew her
frayed garments closely about her to
conceal their ugly lines. She took from
a ragged purse the last dollar that
she had in the world. She purchased
a ticket and entered the hall. There,
sitting silent and unnoticed in dark
corner under the gallery her soul be-
came filled with something which she
could not name, something more
precious than wealth or fashion or all
the friendships in the world could give,
and she was happy. But she went din
nerless and supperless for the next
day and the next.
She was only a little girl, not much
more than three years old, but she
made a lot of trouble for her mother
in the State Mutual building yesterday
afternoon. The first time l saw them
was on the first floor as they were
preparing to go to the eighth floor. The
little one protested vigorously against
entering the elevator but mamma fin
ally prevailed on her it would not
harm her and they got aboard with
me. AS soon as the juice was turned
on, and the elevator began to ascend,
the little one began to yell and she
kept it up until the floor little below
the roof was reached. She was so ter
ror stricken, her mother had to carry
her out of the cage. The next time l
saw them was when mamma was try
ing to get her to ride down in one of
the cages. She positively refused and
no Establishments of mamma could
prevail on her to get into the cage.
She threw herself on the floor and
every time mamma tried to lift her
she wiggled away and yelled. Finally
mamma had to give it up and make
the long journey to the street down
the eight flights of stairs.
