A MANLY STAND

Providence creates no vain thing, says
H,Iy Writ. The blood of poor Charles
Craven was not shed on Virginia's soil
in vain. From the unfortunate tragedy
at Leesburg there has come up re-
volt against mob violence that is max
ing the practice disreputable. While
instances OF outrage will continue, the
batter element of communities that are
self respecting are refusing to permit
the fair name of their locality to be
discredited by open defiance OF the law.
The address # Judge Tebbs to the
grand Jury Leesburg is an indica-
tion that there are counts IN Virginia
and the South that honestly believe In
the majesty of the cause they repre-
sent. The Judge senslb y contended
that the vaiuelessness of the life OF
the culprit was no justification for
Iynchipg, and he characterized such
an episode as, ''a crime OF unexsmpled
magnitude, of far resching eonse-
ouence, and leprosch to the people He
rebuked the 30 called respectable per-
Sons who participated, as the COM
munity had right 30 expect better
thipes of men of intelligence and
standing in the community. He said if
We are to find mobs led by those who
should uphold by an appeal to arms if
necessary, the civic uprightness essen
tial to orderly govenment-God hep
old Loudoun, God save Virginia.
These are brave words and they
show that the Oaucasians have found
out that the tenets of Christianity can
not be violated with impunity without
bringing down upon their heads the

HIS UNSPORIsMANLIKE.

The worst charge that can be made
against a man who enters a contest
where fair test of endurance and skill
is supposed to be guaranteed, is that OF
unsportsmanlike conduct. A contest
that is not son the leveP' is worse than
none at all, for it degrades a class of
men who try to make an honorable
living by superior training and giving
the pubic the benefit of their prowess,
and places them in the same categor,
with The card sharp and the whole
buneO fraternity. Whether the skin
of a contestant be black or white, he is
entitled to what he is worth, and to
beat him out, the winner should be
compelled to show himself the better
man. This should hold true in cycling,
boxing, prize fighting, wrestling or any
of the many sports. The conduct of
Bedell and Lawson the other day at
Manhattan Beach was reprehensible in
the extreme. On the cycle track in
the final heat of the one'third mile
national championship event, they de-
Iiberately "pocketed" Major Taylor,
the great colored rider. thus stealing
a victory for Kramer, who otherwise
would not have stood aghost of show.
1t is pleasing to note that the man.
agement knowing that the repetition of
such foul play would soon destroy the
reputation of the piece for true
sportsmanlike character, promptly dis,
qualified Bedell and Lawson.
To illustrate Taylor's superiority,
a short time afterward he beat a field
of many riders in a five mile hand cap,
in which his erstwhile competitors did
not make better than fifth. Through
out this season, Major Taylor has been
barass ed to a point of desperation by
these cheap fellows, who seem deter
mined that he shall not win the cham
pionship, In every race combination
seems to be in order to defeat Taylor
by trick, even if they themselves fail
to score. Wherever there is an at
tempt to .'pocket" a rider or 70 | him
in any way, the event should be de
clartd of, and the guilty ones barred
fl ON the business for the season. if not
forever. When people pay their way
to see a contest they want it decided
on its merits, no matter who carries
off the prize. With anything like a
show. Peter jackson would have been
the champion heavyweight of the
world Dixon and Cans have had
better luck, but they have been com
pellet to really win their laurels sever
al times over before they were permit
ted to wear them. With an equal
chance and an honest observance of the
laws of sport, Major Taylor viii yet
be the champion cyelist of the world.
