Loubet in London.

London's reception of President Loubet
equals in heartiness and grace the reception
accorded King Edward in Paris And that
is saying a good deal. for they order such
things exceedingly we'll in France. To the
suggestion that the demonstration is largely
stage play the answer may be returned that
from stage so we'll set and a performance
so well rendered benefits must come. But
it is safe to allow for much genuine feeling
in the premises. The compliments ex
changed. although couched in conventional
terms, have sound reason to support them,
and therefore will linger in the memory.
Why should not France and Great Britain.
in this bright day of progress act together
for mutual advantage and for the worlds
advantage? Waterloo was fought nearly a
hundred wears ago.

The Mob Evil.

An intelligent public sentiment is rapidly
forming in this country on the mob ques-
ton: Lynching must be stopped, by the eX-
eI else of martial law if not through the
enactment of additional statutes readjust-
ing the responsibility for such perversions
of the ends of justice. Governor Durbin
out in Indiana met the situation there with
admirable directness. But there is no as
surance that another governor would be as
prompt to oppose force to the fury of the
mob. The cure must be effected not by
an occasional object lesson of the dig
nifty and irresistible power of the state but
by consistent program in every common
wealth, proving in every case the futility
of opposing mob force to the orderly pro-
Cesses of the law.
There is scarce state in the Union which
has not at some time other been the
scene of a mob murder. Some of the states
are so commonly visited by such outbursts
of blood frenzy that the country has come
to accept them as natural phenomena. The
courageous defiance of the scarborough
sheriff the other day did not change the
trend OF mob sentiment in Alabama. Nor
Is II likely that the bravery displayed
Monday night by the daughter of Sheriff
Creech at Barnwell. s. c., will check in
that state the murderous impulses of the
crowds formed in moments of passion and
race prejudice to wreak vengeance upon a
prisoner. This young woman, In the alb
sence % her father, was met at the Jail
door by a dozen masked men. who de-
manded the person of man-slayer. She
answered that she would get her fathers
keys and retired When she returned she
presented. instead of the keys, the muzzle
of loaded rifle. and commanded the des-
peradoes to retreat. They hastily did so.
Against the scarborough and the Barn
Well cases stand hundreds of instances of
surine conduct on the part of sheriffs.
Against the prompt defiance of the Evans
Vile mob by Governor Durbin stand the
tardy, timorous movements of scores of
other governors. who fear to address
themselves to the lawbreakers in the ulti-
mase terms OF life and death The mob

Mother" Jones' Children's Crusade.

One of the most pathetic spectacles ever
presented In all the history of Chrstendom
was that Of the childrens crusade for the
reconquest of the Holy Land. Thousands
of the little folks whirled into column by
the religious frenzy of their elders, perlshed
miserably from exposure and starvauon.
Of all the absurd attempts to wrest the
sacred soil from the infidel this was the
worst and the most cruel. Modern observ-
ers have deplored all enterprises utillz ng
children for public purposes, and While IL Is
by no means comparable in the smallest
degree with the great blunder of 12l2 cru
SADIE now in progress under the leadership
of Mother Jones. the woman agitator,
will undoubtedly receive vigorous pubic
condemnation. This woman has organized
and started on it's way from Ph1ladelphla
to New York a column Of four hundred
children, textile workers of the former city,
representing the striking weavers and
dyers. They are to journey, unless stopped
by the authorities, to the metropolis and
there hold meetings and collect funds for
the strikers. Preparations have been made
for giving tableaux and dramatic represen-
tations satirizing the money power and it
Is the belief of the leader that the children
will touch the hearts Of the multitudes and
rebellious workers.
The deplorable spectacle presented by the
so-called Coxey army a few years ago
proved the utter inutility of such demon
strations This horde of hoboes and ne'er-
do-wels trailed along through Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Maryland to the capital with
out in the least degree affecting the public
mind in behalf of the interests advocated
by the leader, a hare-brained theorist. The
men appeared to have a shadow of right to
assemble and march along the public ways
to present petitions to Congress. But Their
exercise of this right was travesty upon
the Constitutional guarantee. Just so the
children's march to New York will doubt
less prove a mistake, lowering the dignity
of the position of the strikers and ultimate
ly injurng them. The fact that the march
ers are themselves on strike will only serve
to advertise the fact that children are en-
ployed In the mills which will react upon
the employees as we'll as the capitalists.
The day for marching propagandas has
gone by. The jewellers along the byways
and the highways are all well acquainted
with the facts of the worlds activities.
They require no tramping body Of footsore
zealots to bring them the news of condi-
tons beyond their vision. While the hearts
of people living between Philadelphia and
New York may be touched for the children
themselv~s prematurely and shamefully set
to work by avarice and then cruelty utilized
to exploit a strike, there will be little but
contemp. for this sort of enterprise. These
juvenile marchers should be stopped and
headed homeward at once

Last night another automobilist ran down
a victim, ard then escaped without leav-
ing a trace of his identity. The accident
occurred at the corner Of 9th street and
Pennsylvania avenue. A woman bicyclist
was the victim. Fortunately she was not
hurt, but her wheel was wrecked. No one
in authority knows the name or address of
the chauffeur. These demonstrations of
the necessity for tagging the automatic
vehicles are occurring SO frequently that it
would almost seem as though the automo-
bilists were concertedly trying to test the
temper of the public while the regula tons
are hung up in court. Surely no clearer
or more opportune proof of the need of
identifying numbers could be desired

kins and Mr. Scott could not but be re-
specially heard after fresh local triumphs
by a nominating body engaged in prepar-
ing national ticket.
Eat as matters stand today the men
around whose names speculation is play
i..g reside in the middle states, or in the
west or in the northwest And they are
all strong men. Some are in national office,
some in state Office, and some are not In
office at all. They are all good republic
cans. They may differ in the matter of de-
tails about this issue or that. but there Is
not one of them who could not comfortably
stand on the platform his party in national
assembly is likely to adopt next year. so
far from being dangerously divided are the
republicans on the essence Of the national
policies.
Let us suppose, then, some man from
that wide stretch of territory taken. He
will of course be strong with his section,
we'll known, we'll considered and trusted by
the people. But, strong as he may be, Will
he be stronger than Theodore Roosevelt!
Do not the republicans of the middle states,
and particularly those Of the west and
northwest tie to the President with feelings
of unusual heartiness and confidence!
Have they not shown pride in him quite
the equal of that ordinarily bestowed upon
a local favorite? Would not his name
alone be sufficient to bring them to the
polls in numbers and to insure display
of their liveiest interest in the result?
This is a generally accepted fact in the
political world. That the republicans have
a leader whose popularity is as great at
distance as it is near home, and is unusual
wherever it exists, admits of no doubt; and
his opponents in shaping their course are
not misleading the signs of the times. To
defeat him will require good luck and
phenomenally good management on the
part of the democracy.

International Rifle Matches.

The high military authorities of all the
great powers of the world may well watch
with eager interest the scores in the in
ternational rifle matches to begin at Bisley,
England, next Saturday. The meeting of
representative teams from the great war
forces will permit a larger scale than
ever before comparison between the
craftsmanship of the soldiers of the va
rious armies. To such an extent has the
development of weapons of war been
brought that upon the rifle skill of the in
dividual soldier now depends in very large
degree the efficiency of the army itself
During the Boer war the British soldiers
suffered rather severely in comparison with
the burgher rifiemen. who had been trained
in a hard school. while the 'Tommies'' of
the British service had dallied in galleries
and regarded the matter of craftsmanship
as an accomplishment to the end of Win
ming medals and prizes. That war awaken
ed the English military leaders to a reali
Zation of the grim truth that shooting skill
is part of the real business of war.
1t is reassuring to read in private dis
patches of the success of an American
team in small preliminary match with an
English team. The complete victory of the
Americans dazed the Britishers, who had
no idea that their guests could do such
accurate shooting. The struggle for the
Palma trophy. however. will be the test of
true merit between the teams. and accord
ing to the individual records of the men
who have now been finally selected as the
American team there should be some good
shooting next Saturday 1t is locally graf
flying to learn that a District national
guardsman. Lieut.. Cook, is one of the
chosen. His score and that of his team
mates will be noted with eager interest.

Evil Influences at Work.
From the Savannah News.

Are the times accursed? One can scarce
ly pick up a newspaper without seeing an
account of some terrible tragedy, and 1t has
been so since the beginning of the year. II
was estimated some two weeks ago that up
to that time more than LEGO persons had
met violent deaths In the United States
since January 1, and hundreds have been
added to the list since then. Railroad
wrecks, foods, cloudbursts, forest fires,
mine explosions elevator accidents, muir
ders and lynchings have followed each
other in rapid and terrible procession, until
1t would seem that some evil influence were
at work to make 1903 memorable for its
bloody record.

Rev. Father Hartley, Bishop Of
Columbus.

Cousin Harry McFadden, Editor
of the StubenvilIe Gazette. and a
Presbyterian of the ''Strictest of the
Sect" pays this graceful tribute to
the newly elected Catholic Bishop
of Columbus:
"Stubenville has been honored
and 90 has the diocese of Columbus,
for Pope Plus x bas chosen one Of
Stobenville's foremost pastors as
Bishop of Columbus, or at least the
telegraph dispatches say so. In all
the State or in fact the Catholic
world, there could be no selection
more fitting. for Father Hartley
combines all those qualities that
make the ideal minister of God.
Father Hartley il a native of Co
lumbas, where his parents still re.
eide. He was born As years ago,
and when a child he showed such
de.out religious disposition that. be
was educated for the priesthood al
tho Ohio monasteries. He was or
dained In the Columbus Cathedral
by Bishop Watterson in 1882, and
soon after ordination he was sent to
Steubcnville az assistant at St.
Peters. Never has he administered
the priestly duties in any city ex-
cept Steubenvllle, az he has been
here since the day Bishop Waiter
son sent him. For three years O.
until 1885. he was assistant at St.
Peters.
Father Hartley is bread minded
and an excellent student of literature
he being considered one of the
brightest minds in the diocese. He
is an excellent linguist, cievsr aud
forcible talker and IN every way
shows a thorough education which
he is constantly acquiring. No,
long ago he succeeded in mastering
the Italian language. which together
with slight knowledge of several
other languages, makes him sehol-
ar more eminen,ly fitted and quail
lied to be Bishop of Columbus than
any other man. The whole city re-
ioioes for the deserved recognition
Of the now distinguished prelats.
Bishop Hartley is 4 school mate ol
Father Powers, and for several year,
the two were associates in the min.
istery at Steubenville.
Bishop Hartley will find an
earnest support In the three thousand
members of his church in Hooking
County.

MURDER SUSPECTED
Mystery Surrounds Case Q
William Aurand.
Foot Prints of Man and Dog
Discovered and Arrest
Is Expected.

An arrest for murder is hourly
expected in connection with the
death of William Aurand. q farmer
aged IS, who was found dead at his
home near Webb Summit BY his son
John, ON the 10th of this month.
The old man died from 4 shot gun
would in the thigh. The artery and
the bone were completely severed BY
number four shot and the wounded
man bled to death. Circumstances,
at that time, pointed to an accident
al killing, but the coroner was never
able to determine exctly in what
nianuer became to hls dea til. =
It seemed clear that robbery wss
not the motive, as $ss was found on
the corpse.
The footprints Of a man .nda dog
however, were found leading from
the house, and they showed that the
man had jumped the fence, indicat-
ing thereby that he had been 10 a
hurry. Then, too, no gun was fbnnd
about the premises.
1t is most probable thst the sdeot-
ing had been done on the day before
tho body was found. because the
clock had stopped, the fire was out
aud everything about the house had
frozen up. S
1t had been discovered that his
son had paid him 4 $50 gold icertI-
iicate and q note for ss6 was known
to have been In his possession but
neither can be found.
