Washington, d. c., June Ex-senator
Morgan and Representative Hepburn
REPRESENTING the Senate and House con-
ferees on the Isthmian Canal Bill, We're
together today to arrange the prelimi-
1aris for the meeting CT the conferees.
The ,irst formal meeting of the 18TH
n,ian Canal Conferees will be at two
o'clock on Monday. Today's meeting was
devoted to a careful study Of the Senate
Panama amendment with a view to get
ting a thorough understanding of its
hearings. 1t was stated afterward that
no conclusions beyond the fact that q
meeting of the conferees should be held
Monday had been reached.
Meantime the friends of the respective
projects We're active in making plans.
Although. no formal meeting of the House
conferees was held, informal exchanges
showed their general attitude. They are
first Of all for a canal and while favor
able to the Nicaragua route, they will
not insist upon that route to the extent
Of defeating all legislation.
AS soon as it becomes evident that
the Senate will not yield the Spooner
amendment will be accepted as the best
solution possible. There is no doubt
this is the position OF two out or the
three House conferees and it is under
stood to be shared by all of them. This
insuroS an agreement in conference with
out much delay, even if the House does
not relieve the cOnferees of their reSpOn-
aibilitis by adopting q motion to concur
with the Senate which, there is good
reason to believe Mr.. Burton (OhiO), is
ready to make.

LYNCHING MUST BE SUPPRESSED
AT ANY COST.

There is one crime in North Carolina
that Will always be followed by lynching
if the indignant neighborhood catches
the brute who is guilty of il before he
is put in Jail. Every good citizen de-
plores the lynching, but he deplores ten
that causes it's exercise. But that is
the only crime that excuses any people
for taking the law into their own lands.
The protection Of the women of the
South, many of whom live IN
sparsely settled country homes, is OF
the highest consideration. Beside that
duty, oil others are of comparatively
little Importance. If a brute assaults
them, quick and speedy death is the I'M
mediate penalty, administered by an
outraged body of indignant ~neighbors-
These 'mobs" who punish for that
crime are not the worst citizens. In such
cases, they are often composed of good
citizens, who are moved to take the
law in their hands because of the ter
rible character of the crime. In Arson
county, at the latest lynching for a
the base crime was perhaps the worst in
the annals of the State, and the men
who joined the lynching party were as
good citizens as any who live in that
community. If the Governor had Of
fered q reward for the capture of these
men, his act would have been univer-
sally and properly condemned. He was
too wise to offer a reward for the men
who had protected their homes by vio-
lating the law.
But, while this people will palliate and
excus lynching by neighbors in the
lynching for any other crime. The
lynching at Salisbury for plain murder,
with no attempt at outrage, deserved
the sentence of death, legally admins
tered. But, from no standpoint, was
