i One Of the most alarming incidents OF
the Wilmington lynching, and Its train
OF preceding and sequential events was
the incendiary sermon of the Rev. Robert
A. Ellwood. It is Impossible to put any
other construction on that disgraceful
sermon than that Of an exhortation to the
mob to take the law into It's own hands.
Yesterday the presbytery OF Newcastle
met and, after receiving a statement from
Ellwood that he was opposed to lynching,
expressed its satisfaction with his state
ment and let the Ellwood incident go at
that. Such leniency will lnot be well re-
ceived by either the people Of Mr.. Eli
woods denomination or by the people at
large. There Is no dispute as to what
Ellwood did say. The question at issue
does not involve his present opinions or
words, after reason has returned. ELI
wood should at. the very least have been
severely reprimanded for his rash and
lawless words in the pulpit, and more
fitting punishment would have been his
election from the presbytery. To "let
him down so easy" is about as bad as
saying 20, you naughty thtng!" to a
bowling mob that needs q volley Of we'll
aimed bullets.

LATE DISCOVERIES IN CRETE

EN .
The work of Arthur Evans in the So
called Palace of Minos at Knossos on the
island of Crete continues to give forth
richest results. At the very close Of the
season he made one of his best finds. He
noticed depression in the pavement Of
basement room of a shrine. Opening
it up, he discovered two large walled de-
positories containing cult objects and
decorative furniture belonging to a sane
tuary These were largely porcelain, in
Guiding vases and exquisite inlays and,
small reliefs. groups of bulls, flowers,
marine objects, fish, rocks, nautiuses and
other shells. Better than these were a
group of porcelain statuettes of goddesses
about a foot high, exquisitely made. The
principal goddess has snakes coiled about
her hair and forming zone about her
waist. She holds them by their necks.
Her form Is finely modelled and every
detail Of the, embroidered dress is repro
duced, even to the laces Of the bodice.
number of other interesting objects
were likewise found. With all the sue
cess Mr.. Evans has made, it seems curl
Gus that he has enormous difficulty in
getting sufficient funds in England to
carry on his work In an adequate fashion.

President Droppers INDICATED.

President Garrett Droppers of the Uni
versity Of South Dakota has been tried
and found not wanting. The president
was charged with having put two bottles
of beer into a welsh rarebit. with having
smoked. with having tasted Of wine and
with having tempted United States Sena-
tor Kittredge to partake Of the same
liquid. These were the main charges
against him, but 1t was also alleged that
he once wrote a letter in improper form
and that he was tainted with the Uni
tarianism Of Harvard = So far as the dis
patches have told us about President
tDroppers' vindication they have not gone
into details; one dispatch says the
charges were not sustained. and another
merely states that the regents have de-
cided toretain his services. We believe
that it was agreed on all sides that :Presi
dent Droppers did contribute two bottles
of beer to rarebit concocted at the home
Of a w. C. r. u. social leader in Vermil-
lion. When, therefore, the charges are
said not to be sustained. we must infer
that it is meant that notwithstanding the
rarebit escapade the regents find no evil
dence of that moral deterioration in Pres
ident Droppers that is supposed in some
quarters to be indissolubly associated with
addiction to rarebits containing beer

The Blighting Mosquito.

1t takes more than one swallow to make
summer, and more than one successful
experiment to prove the efficiency OF a
new thing. There is no doubt that after
the first experiments with pouring kero-
sene into stagnant water in mosquito-tor-
tured neighborhoods, there was a marked
diminution in the number OF the pests.
But now mosquitoes raised in such waters
seem to be more numerous, larger and
f1ercer than mosquitoes raised in plain
swamps
The mosquito problem Is one more joked
about than gravely thought about, but it
is very serious one. Besides the an
noyance and discomfort to recreation seek
insuperable obstacle to. work. Recently
United States engineer was forced to aban-.
don his work in Louisiana by these pests,
and there is about month when in the
northern woods it is almost impossible for
a man to penetrate them without taking
the greatest precautions Not only does
the dread Of their sting keep fertile coun-
try from being developed. but the possible
consequences of the sting in some parts
Of the country hold back large areas of
fertile land. The Delta country in Mis-
sissippi is said to be the second most fer
tile region in the world, yet it is largely
given over to jungle and brush and wild
animals because of it's malaria. Now 1t
has been proved that malaria is trans

No American Filipinos.

The Discrimination Of teachers to go to
the Philippines calls attention to one of
the great difficulties Of our administration
of those islands. At the time Of the first
call for teachers, there was a very salts

ST. Paul the other day only two teachers
appeared to take an examination for
places in the Philippines, whereas a con-
siderable number had been expected. The
salary of teachers in the Philippines is
considerably higher than is paid for SINH

that the first burst of curiosity in and
enthusiasm over "our new possessions is

compared with residence in the United

1t is about as bad with the civil service

a considerable number of Americans
would take root in the Philippine soil is
to be disappointed. There is hardly one
