In the PRosPEcToR of April 9th there appears an account of the self dcsu uction of J McCurdy. He vas stationed all alone as .ele- graph operator at q point known ds the Barns" He was an enlist ed man, and al the disposal of his superior officers. In that same is sue we spoke editorially of the dan ger oi forcing a man to live alone in wild, desolate place, far re- inoged from the haunts of men, and without a companion. We thought those III charge would take the hint and have Ut least two men at each station. They did not and today we give an account of another soldier committing suicide. He, like the others, was stationed alone and away from the ,rail. There are otl.er stations along the line manned in the same way. Will they b. left so, and will we occa- Sionaliy nave cases oi suicide to re- port a. occurring along he ,eleerap' line of Alaska, just for economy's sake?

vehement Oratorv.

The most vehement speaker in Con-
gress in recent times was Representa-
tive Brosius. His gesticulation was of
violent energy. Private John Allen used
to say that whenever Mr.. Brosius made
a speech he burst his suspenders. One
afternoon Mr.. Allen and a party We're
watching Brosius' exertions. There
they go now" Allen exclaimed. I'll
bet you his galluses parted that time
or else he lost both buttons at the rear
of his trousers. AS soon as he stops
talking we will go over and find out
about it." After ten minutes more of
gesticulations the gifted orator sat
down. wiping the moisture that stream
ed from his brow and his cheeks. His
collar was wilted, his hair was saturat-
ed with perspiration and his shirt front
showed visible evidences of the strug-
gle. Mr.. Allen approached the matter
delicately, calling the member by his
first name, complimenting him upon his
speech and the force of his delivery
and finally remarking that he (Allen)
could not indulge very much in gestic-
ulations without busting his galluses."
.'Mine parted about the middle of my
remarks remarked the orator, inno-

with him and led his party away.

LAW OR ANARCHY:

in a timely and ringing paper Bishop
Warren A. Gambler denounces lynch
| ing and appeals for the upholding of
the law. He asserts, and demonstrates,
that lynch law is anarchy, and that an
archy is always the forerunner of the
| destruction of republics. History has
shown this on numerous occasions. 1t
is folly to think that such an outcome
as the overthrow of the great Amer
lean republic could not be accomplish
ed. The American people are as
quick as any TO adore a military hero,
and they can make one out of as small
an amount of raw material as any ma
ton that ever kissed a sword or bowed
to a plume. = a Depend upon it. no
nation ever retains liberty after it
ceases to maintain law. Lynch law
protects no home. but it does rather
pull down the strongest defense of all
the homes in the commonwealth"
The Bishop emphasizes the fact that
lynching is not a sectional but ma
tional evil. The people of the North
are as ready to lynch as those of the
South, under similar circumstances.
Nor are the majority of lynchings for
crimes against women. The Bishop
quotes the figures for last year, show
ing that out of 12S lynchings but six
teen were for such crimes. One of the
most sensational of recent lynchings
that at Evansville, Ind. followed the
shooting of a policeman by a negro.
The number of crimes for which mob
law has been appealed to is considera-
Bile, and there appears to be a tendency
to a still further increase. Defiance of
the law in one instance leads to it's de-
fiance in others. and unless the lynch
ing spirit is checked Judge Lynch will
soon be claiming jurisdiction over the
whole list of crimes and misdemeanors.
Bishop Gamblers paper should be re-
garded as a call to ministers of the
gospel to institute a crusade against
mob rule, and the fight should have the
earnest, active aid of all lovers of law
ard order. 1.-The good people must put
down the mob. or the mob will put
down the good people" says the Bish-
OPP. That has been the position of the
Morning News for years, and from that
standpoint we have persistently in
weighed against mob rule under
any and all circumstances. Respect
for law is the cornerstone upon which
our civilization is founded destroy that
cornerstone ard the fabric totters.
Without respect of law no mans life is
safe. A breath of accusation, no mat
ter whether it be false. and the mob
seizes its victim and ,wreaks its wrath;
and no man is safe from the breath of
accusation, although he may be inno-
cent. Mob law strikes at the heart of
to preserve their liberty they must put
it down.

II saw the whole thing" said the
