LyNcnING TIE LAW.
Llynching the Law.

Bishop Gambler Of the NJ. r. South
II IL the duty of all good people In
every part Of our country TO unite In
putting down the mob For let us be
Well assured that the good people will
put down the mob or the mob will put
down the people. When a lynching
occurs the law is more truly lynohed
than Is the Victim OF the mob's fury,
1t Is an outburst of anarchy and not
an Eruption Of righteous Indignation
against an atroclous crime. In de-
Tense of lynching 1t is sometimes said:
stop the outrages that provoke lynch
ing and the lynohing viii cease" But,
pray, tell which outrage Is meant? IL
reference to the horrible crime of rape
Is intended, 1t IL enough 10 say In reply
mat II is not the cause OF one-fourth
OF the lynchings which occur IN the
United states. Two years since, for
example, the figures FOR year show
ed only 10 cases of rayishing against
us lynchi1gs. Lynch law, | repeat, is
anarchy, and anarchy is always the
iorerunner of destruction in republics
This evil strikes al the very heart of
our civil institutions. II unchecked, IL

the repeated attacks made upon four
members Of that body. the same paper
launches an editorial TRADE against the
motives OF the News" In defending
them from the Migrant falsehoods Of
our contemporary. But II offers no
fact, or incident, or argument in reply
to that which we presented, and does
not even deny the truths we plainly
set forth.
What "the church" is doing or not
doing, does not affect the question as
to whether the councilmen assailed
most shamefully and falsely by the
Tribune, were guilty Of the charges It
has so often repeated against them.
The nabby diatribes IN abuse of the
News the weak and watery lnsinu-
atlons against THE church" and the
roundabout and misty sentences With
out point about party fealty," do not
touch one itetm OF fact In the "News'
editorial in question, but only serve to
show the rapid deterioration OF our
flatulent contemporary.

THE FIRST AMERICANS,

The origin Of the Americans is one
OF the questions about which there Is
an infinite variety OF opinion among
students and scholars. Dr. Albert
Ashmeud. New York anthropologlst,
has formed new theory, for which he
IS trying to nnd conclusive evidence
a process by the way, which is very
unphilosoph.cnl, For unless the evil
dence Ia found first, the theory is not
worth a great deal Every one knows
how easy II Is to find arguments for
an opinion that mas already been
formed, and everyone also knows that
no human weakness is more fruitful
Of error than the common one Of Jump
Ing at conclusions, and theu arguing
to prove them. According TO local
item in the New York Mail and Express
Of Sept, "a, Or. Ashmcad Is now nego-
tlatlng with Sol Berliner, the American
consul at Teneriftc, for the shipment Of
fossils, which, he thinks, will do ruch
to strengthen the new theory as 20
the first inhabitants OF America
This theory, briefly stated, Is, that
the first inhabitants Of America came
here about 10000 years ago from Eu-
rope, and that they travelled across a
reef OF land now submerged, but which
at that time extended from Spain 20
the Canary islands, and thence to the
West Indies and South America
The learned doctor holds that the
glacial period had been in existence for
a long time, and that many Of ;he in
habitants OF the earth had never seen
water except In the form Of ice. Then
came the post glaciap period when the
water began to rise and break up tie
ice AZ this time, we are told, there
We're thousands living on top OF the
Alps. who were crowded out by the
rise OF the water, Being very ignorant.
the men OF the colony allowed their
beasts Of burden to think FOR them.
pr Ashmead says the reindeer and
the llama would not endure the new
conditions without a struggle. Tho
reindeer desired ice ana snow and the
llama was ever in search Of rich pas
turc land. So the reindeer trckkcd TO
the Scandinavian peninsula, aud the
llama and the ancient two and three-
toed horse started out Tor this cog,.r-
emit
Curiosity naturally arises as to the
facts upon which these conclusions are
based, and we are told that one OF the
points Is the evidence that the same
kinds OF sickness was prevalent in this
country ut that remote time, as In
Europe, while no trace Of Aslo,ic dis
eases have been found here, These as
sertions are thought be proved by the
appearance Of the little statues that
are found In graves IN South America,
| These statues are said TO be repre- som
tatives Of the buried person, as he
was In life and the sickness OF which
he died Is said to be indicated \

the disease OF wolf cancer ut on, time
a scourge OF western Europe was

Boston Transcrlnt.

There doubtless are many other adj
herents of the Protestant Episcopal
church who have been mortified and
vexed by the Episcopal utterance which
Mr.. Addison denounces He has the
credit OF publicly and impressvely re-
cording his dissent and of showing
that ne Is impartial enough To include
an ecclesiastlc among those who today
are losing sight OF the fundamental
virtue OF civilized men. Barbarians
know no viii but their own, and might
makes right. The lex talionis of the
ancient dispensation has no place I'm the
ethics of today. The highest penology
Is that which is remedial, not punitive
sections OF the country where Judge
Lynch holds sway cannot be counted
civilized, and a Christian bishop who
justilies lynching may be successor
IN direct line of primitive church faith
ers, but he Is not a disciple Of Jesus.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

The boundary commission now In ses-
sion in London is appointed for the
purpose OF determining what Russia
obtained Of American territory, by the
treaty with Great Britain in 1926.
Whatever Russia had by that treaty
was transferred TO the United State ,
in 1857, when the entire Russian pos
session was sold to this country for
S,2OO0OO.
The chief difference OF opinion Is az
to what is meant by coast line The
treaty provides that an important part
OF the boundary line be drawn 30 miles
from the coast. Now, the Canadians
contend that the coast line should be
drawn across bays and rivers, as 1t is
on the Atlantic coast. They claim that
inlets less than six miles wide nj the
mouth are Canadian, 80 miles island.
Among these inets claimed by the Can.
adams Is the Lynn canal. which Is val-
liable as an outlet to the sea for the
Klondike mining region. on this side
1t is oontended, however, that the boun-
dairy line follows the actual coast line
80 miles inland, thus separating Can
ada from all arms Of the ocean.
That Is tho contention, and II Is to be
hoped that it will be solved satisfac-
torlly Stubbornness on both sides
might easily lead to strained rela-
tions between this country and Great
Britain. If the matter in dispute can
not be adjusted by the commission now
at work, II could be referred to The
Hague tribunal That would be salts
factory, 1t Is believed, to Great Britain.
and this country should not object TO
an impartial investigation.

There Is a way TO get the less favored
there without engaging IN any socialis-
tic experiments or making any paupef-
izlng gifts.

Kansas city Star,

In the presontment Of this case lies
the argument that proves the feasibility
OF the scheme which proposes to bring
the "landless man to the maness land
First, Of course. the man must desire
to possess the land and be willing to
live on and cultivate IT, He must
want a home bad enough to be willing
to work and save for Il. This, II Is as
serted, thousands Of the worthy poor
OF the great cities are not only willing
but anxious to do The scheme is not
a charitable one IN the sense that It
pauperlzcs by indiscreet giving. 1t Is
grounded upon the gospel Of self-help,
ard the aid that II gives looks stead"
