THE MISSOURI WAY.

The dispatches bring the news OF
the conviction of five more of the
Missouri boodlers, three being sen
fenced to five years in prison, one to
four years and one to six years.
Through the able efforts of Dis
trict Attorney Folk eighteen men
have been indicted for accepting
brides as members of the state legis-
lature of Missouri or for perjury in
connection with the boodling trans
actions. OF the number indicted
nearly one-half have been convicted
and the others stand fair chance
of going to prison.
The conviction of these boodlers is
an encouraging sign as showing that
public sentiment in Missouri, at least
is not in favor Of condoning such
crimes.
If the bride glvers as we'll as the
bride takers could only be convicted
the work would indeed be we'll done
for the man who gives the bride is
by far the worts criminal of the two.
AS rule the man who accepts a
bride is impeled by force of circum-
stances to do SO. He has perhaps
spent more money to secure his cleo
ton than he ought to have spent and
the salary of his office will not near
ly pay his expenses. He sees his
family in naed of the ordinary COM
forts Of life and under such circum-
stances it is not strange that he
yields to temptation, for poverty is
a powerful ally of the bride giver.
On the other hand the bride giver
is we'll fed and well groomed with
none of the wants of life to drag him
down to the level of the criminal
Deliberately an In cold blood he plans
the moral destruction of his fellow
man and the worst punishment is not
too severe for such a creature.
Montana has had her full share of
such crimes and as rule the bride
giver has be5n strong enough to pro-
tect both himself and THE bride taker
from the hand of the law.
Montana however, is gaining in
both moral and material strength
and the day is not far distant when
such crimes committed within her
borders will be punished as they

should appraise them and pay for

in few years take up the bonds, that

that the land, like the water, should

that in very few years money would
be almost valueless for any purpose

LYNCH LAW.

The epidemic of race riots and
lynchings that has afflicted the coun-
try recently has called forth consde-
cradle discussion as to the causes and
the best remedy for the evil, for an
eXil it is conceded to be by every
lover of law and order. The lynch

THE readiness of the people to over
ride the law is sugg5 stive of the ease
with which anarchy might supplant
all law, for mob rule is anarchy pure
and simple. Justice Brewer of the
United States supreme court recently
declared in a public address that
every man who takes part in a lynch
ing is guilty Of murder. and that the
fact that the victim, a negro, had
committed an assault upon a white
girl was not an eXtenuating circum-
stance in the least. That lynchers
are legally guilty of murder There
can be no doubt but Justice Brewer
would probably change his mind

an assault Justice Brewer further
declared that Legislation is needed
upon the subject. but just how further
Legislation is going to help matters
is not at all clear, for the trouble
seems to be a lack of enforcement of
the laws that are already on THE stat
ute books. and new laws will neither
enforce the old ones or themselves.
Whenever public sentiment is strong
enough to secure new laws against
lynching, it will be strong enough to
cause the enforcement of the laws al
ready in existence and no new legis-
latOn will be needed. But so long

THEY are not worse in that particular

tion has no doubt had something to
do with the increased friction be-
tween the whites and blacks. His
manner of ignoring the existing pre-
judice against the colored man has
caused the ignorant members of that
race to be more arrogant in asserting
their rights, with the result that the
white man has been more easily in

TO HELP COUNTRY DOCTORS.
Rural Physicians In Germany viii Be
Benefited BY Lectures.

Berlin, March 4.-The country medi-
cal practitioner In Germany is to have
an opportunity to learn the latest de-
velopments in surgery and general
medicine from a travelling university
that will bring postgraduate instruc-
tion to the nearest large town in his
vicinity free of charge.
Emperor William today gave his sig
nature to the plans for this work,
which will be paid for by the govern
ment and by small contributions from
medical societies. Great specialists,
such as Professors Lassar, Bergman
and Rumpf. will charge small fees for
their services.
The country doctor can thus come
to his neighboring city for week or
two once year and hear the leaders
of his profession explain the latest
processes for treatment or see cele-
brated surgeons at work.
