A MISTAKE OR WORSE.

In all proba bility. Mr.. F. Hopkinson
Smith. the author of Caleb West" had
no idea that he would start fierce con
troversy when he announced that Mrs.
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" was re-
sponsible for the civil war. 1t is true
that Mr.. Smith has found comparatively
few people to support his view. as COM
pared with the number who oppose II.
Yet he has handled his end of the dis
rute with a good deal of ability and no
little ingenuity. He has been driven
from position to position. making eN-
llanatiol as he retired. but has at last
taken his stand and declares that TN
Gle Toms Cabin is a vicious. untruth
ful and harmful book. One particular
complaint of his is that the book has
been accepted as history when it was
written as a novel, and as it represented
the southern people as brutal and cruel.
it created the sectional hate that
brought on the war
The fact is. of course. that Mrs.
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" did not
create slavery, and it is equally true
that there was a vast amount of bru
tality connected With that institution.
Their is no use reviNing old discussions
as to that. Even Mark Twain. who has
recently shown himself to Be a good deal
Of an unrtconstructed rebel. in one Of
his recent books. tells of acts of cruelty
that he Witnessed towards slaves thai
came near embittering his whole life
AS to the question whether 81 not Mr..
Stowe really represented slavery as it
existed. that is another mater although
Mrs stowe certainly described kind
slave owners as Well as brutal ones.
Mr.. Smiths last statement is THAI
mo one denies that slavery was, theo-
retically, a great blot upon ciyiza-
ton This. of course, carries with it
the Inference that practically slavery
was all right. In order, however, that
there may be no doubt as to his position
on that subject. Mr.. Smith says further:
The negroes of the South today are
worse off than they We're under slavery
The young negroes themselves wera
forced to admit that they have not
gained by slavery.
Mr.. Smith. it will be seen. at the be-
ginning of the controversy, simply
stated that Mrs. Stoves book was re-
sronsible for the war. He has modified
that slightly, but in doing has come
forward as an actual champion of the
institution as it existed in the South.
He boldly maintains, after all these
years, that slavery was a good thing
fol the esroes and that they lost by its
abolition. Can Mr.. Smith find one negro
Who will sustain him in that view?
Many years ago a penniless negro boy
passed through Richmond, Virginia, on
his way to Hampton to try and obtain
an education 4 weei, ago he addressed
an immense audience OF whites and ne
groes in the Academy of Music at Rich

made by his people. 1t was Booker L

TAKE OFF THE CIRCLE.

Ravaln Republican: The fusionists in
the Montana Legislature have been do
ing a lot of talking about the redeeming
of the promises made in their platform.
Among those promises was the eimina-
ton of the circle at the top of the bal
lot, but indications are that this is one
promise that will be allowed to go UNI
redeemed. Democracy has found the
circle too good a weapon in the past to
voluntarily surrender it now. Democ-
racy can be relied upon to do just what
it wants to do, not what the general
public wants it to do.

The people of Wichita. where public
sentiment seems opposed to prohib-
ton. are reported to consider Judge
Dale's decision a death blow to saloon
smashing. That, however, remains to
be seen
In the first place, it may be difficult

especially in view of the general indig
nation aroused by the Sacking of
church by the Winfield friends of the
saloon. In the second place. the SUI
preme court may hold that the prohib-
itory law considerably modities, with
respect to saloon property, the general
principle on which Judge Dale's deci-
sion rests.
Kansas is to be congratulated. how
ever. upon the fact that one OF It's
Judges has grappled the issue. The
failure of the authorities of that state.
up to the present time, to push a
prosecution of Mrs. Nation has encour-
aged her kind of lawlessness. Judge
Da,e's action. and the further proceed
ings that it requires. will also put
suuarely before the people of Kansas
the larger moral issues involved.
The people of Kansas must now con-
slider whether laws can be good winch
may be construed as authorizing one
class of citizens to wage private warfare
upon another class. They may also con-
slider whether morality is really promot-
ed by attempting to brand as crimes acts
which the majority of mankind refuses
to consider even sins. And by reflectloh
upon these points they may finally come
to decision to treat the use of lntoNl-
cants in a commonsense way.-Chicaso

LAWS AND MORALS in KANSAS.

Judge Dales decision holding Mrs
Nation for trial for malicious destruc-
ton of property puts in concrete legal
form the issue involved in the Kansas
saloon smashing crusade. This issue
is simply whether the saloon-keeper. by
engaging in an illegal business. forfeits
a citizens right to protection from the
courts.
acted upon the theory that the saloon
keepers property. being used in a tor
hidden trade. was outside of the pale of
the law, and could be destroyed by any
citizen. just as a dangerous wild animal
might be shot. Counsel for Mrs. Ma
ton moved that the indictment against
her be quashed ON the ground that sa-
looms had no right to exist and that
their keepers We're outlaws.
Judge Dale swept aside these points
as too senseless to consider" and held
Mrs. Nation for trial. 1T is expressly
stated under Kansas laws he said
that no person or persons have the
right to abate Il nuisance, and that such
nusances can only be abated by order
of the court. Saloon property is as
much protected by la,t as any other
property.
This decision is evidently based on the
general principle that in civilized socie-
ties the individual valves his personal
right to obtain satisfaction for his
wrongs and delegates that task to rep
resentatives chosen by the community
In other words. Judge Dale holds that
the breaking of the law by saloon
keepers does not excuse Mrs. Nation
for breaking the law by waging private
warfare against Them

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.

Henry w. Longfellow.
When the hours OF Day are numbered,
And the voices Of the Night
Wake the better soul that slumbered
To holy. calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted
And, like phantoms. grim and tall,
Shadows from the fitful freight
Dance upon the parlor WALL
Then the forms Of the departed
Enter at the open door:
The beloved. the true hearted.
Come to visit me once more.
He. the young and strong. who cherished
Noble longings for the strife.
BY the roadside fell and persisted,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more!
And with them the Being Beauteous
Who unto my youth was given.
More than all things else to love me,
And is now saint in heaven.
With a slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes
Like the stars, so still and saint-like.
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not. vet comprehended
Is the spirits voceless prayer
Soft rebukes. in blessings ended.
Breathing from her lips of air.
Oh, though oft depressed and lonely.
All my fears are laid aside,
If | but remember only.
Such as these have lived and died.
