SOUTHERN vlEWs oF MoRs.

We are glad TO note that II mob vio-
lence is not becoming less popular its
apologists are confined TO no one
section. Certainly n our institutions
are TO be preserved the violent and the
apologists Of the violent must be kept
IN subordination. and when in
every section there shall be more per-
sons disposed to maintain order than
TO violate the law there viii be little to
fear from the violent classes. Perhaps
in most communities there is an ele-
ment that only needs encouragement
to resort to mob methods on the slight
est provocation. and this element is
only held In check by a wholesome pub
lie sentiment
Hitherto most lynchings have oc-
CURED in the Souh, probably because
certain namcless crime was more
common there. Certainly II has been
very common for the press OF that Sec
tion to defend the mob when It chose
10 innict punishment on the worst type
Of criminals. But Il is worthy OF note
that during the recent epidemic OF
mobs in all sections Of the country
many Of the sanest and most conserva-
tive utterances have come from the
South. The press with few exceptions
has put itself on the side Of order. and
the pulpit has followed.
II Is somewhat novel to hear a noted
Southern preacher denouncing mobs
and demanding a recourse TO the courts
IN all cases. and Il is pleasant to read
the utterances OF Bishop Gambler Of
Georgia giving such counsel There is

WANT A MOURNING STAMP.
There Are Many Demands for Issue OF
Postage Stamp to HnrmOnize
with Black Border,

The post office department is con-
stantly in receipt of requests for the
issue OF mourning stamp for use on
bacE-edged stationery. Persons in all
grades of life assert that there is no
harmony or appropriateness in an en-
velope with a black edge, and a red
stamp in the corner, and they beg the
department to issue black stamp, saws
the Washington Post.
Ihe department has given much con-
sidcration to the subject, but has been
unable to comply with the requests on
account of the rules of the Universal
Postal union, which prescribes that our
lowest value stamp shall be green; that
the stamp used for domestic use shall
be red, and the stamp CARRYING foreign
mail-fve cents-shall be blue. In view
of these restrictions it has not appeared
possible to meet the requirements for
q mourning stamp, as the department
does not deem it advisable to print
stamp in red and also in black.
However, the suggestion has been
made that the three-cent stamp, now
printed in purple, might be issued in
black, so that person desiring to use a
black stamp upon his mourning en-
Velope might do SO by paying the addi-
uonal cent. The department may take
up this suggestion later and act upon it.

BAVARIAN WOMEN VOTE.
ALI owners OF Property Have the
Privilege and Exercise It
by Proxy.

Women who own taxable property
are permitted to vote at municipal
elections IN Munich, the capital of Ba-
yaria, but they have never gone in per-
son to the polls, sending instead male
proxies. At a recent election, however,
one courageous woman, who, by the
way, is president of large philanthropy
ic association of women, appeared in
person to cast her vote She pleaded
that it was not any more difficult to
cast ballot than to instruct some man
now to do it, while the only way to be
sure that the right ballot was used was
to cast it herself. Her action caused
something of sensation, but she was
not denied the privilege she asked for.
When 1t is remembered that until re-
Gently women in Germany were not al
lowed to attend political meetings or
TO ally themselves with political par
tles and that these laws are still in eff
feet in many parts of the empire, this
action OF a woman voter, which passed
without protest from the men, indicates
growing sentiment in favor of i'm
proved conditions for women. The lib
eral party and the social democrats all
over Germany, wherever the laws are
not unfavorable, are melting women to
join them. In Hamburg about LOO
women belong to the social democratic
clubs, and are even represented on their
boards of directors.

AUSTRIA'S STATE SECRETS.
They Are Placed for Security in Iron
Rooms of House Built Bx.
Dress1y for Them.

The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hofburg
to the great house built for them ad-
joining the foreign Office. They will
later on be opened for public inspec-
ton, from the most ancient documents
down to those Of 1910, says the London
Telegraph. The rooms containing the
secret archives are Of ironwork. each
story being completely separated from
the next one, SO that neither fire nor
water can penetrate. Hose supplying
abundance of water is fixed in every di-
rection, the windows can neither be
melted by fire nor destroyed by blows
and the ornamental ironwork before
each window can be unlocked in case
Of emergency.
1t is remembered when Napoleon Bo-
naparte invaded Austria and estab-
hshed himself at Schonbrunn with
what terrible haste the secret archives
were carried of to Buda-Pesth to the
Ofen stronghold, these being the first
things secured when all else was left.
Among the iron cases stands a plain
wooden box which will not be opened
