A REMEDy FOR LYNCHING.

The Rev. a. NJ. Williams proposes
as a remedy for lynchings that ii shall
be made legal to lynch those guilty
of the crime for which lynchings are
most common. If this were done he
appears 10 think there would be no
lynchngs for other crimes.
1t seems to us that Mr.. Williams is
not quite satisfied with his remedy. In
the course of the sermon in which he
advocated legalizing lynchings he said
there was danger that identification in
all cases would not be complete, and
that innocent persons might be put to
death. But he insisted that in most
cases Identification would be reasonably
sure. But If there is greater danger of
putting innocent persons to an ignomin-
ious death by legalizlng lynchings
than there is In the courts would 1t be
advisable to legalize them?
A powerful address was delivered at
the New York Chautauqua last week
by Chief Justice Lore of Delaware, in
which he pointed out that the remedy
for lynchings is not in hasty and few
erish action of courts of justice against
the criminal whose offense is the ex-
citing cause. law has its highest
function In throwing its shield of pro-
lection before the ignorant, the weak
and the helpless. and is. especially de-
signed as a barrier against temporary
madness"
The lynehing mob would be afflicted
with temporary madness even If lynch
ings were legal. The mob spirit would
insist upon vengeance whether identii-
cation were complete or not. In some
cases and perhaps in many cases. And
that there are difficulties attending
Identification there Is no doubt. 1t is
sometimes the case that accused per-
sons, In order to gain time or in the
hope that mercy will be extended or
because they are SO terrorized that they
do not know what they are doing or
aging, confess guilt when. as a mat
ter OF fact, they are not guilty.
Chief Justice Lore, In the course Of
his address. said the even the confess
eAOA ~ bhN dNNbSNd 10 hON tOliSAuoANOs
He called attention to a case lin his
own state. in which, within year, d.
man confessed to the murder Of wom-
an, giving details of the crime. 1t
turned out that he had nothing what
ever to do with the crime.
II Mr.. Williams WIN study the prob
lem little more closely we believe
that he will see insurmountable objec-
lions 10 the remedy which he proposes.
The lesalizing of lynchings wouldn't
limit them to the one crime for which
they are now the most frequent. it
wouldn't make mob law less bruta1iz-
ing. II wouldn't make lynchings less
threatening to free government and it
wouldn't tend to deter the crfminally
inclined from committing crimes. In
deed. we do not see that any good would
come from adopting the suggestion Of
fered Ny Mr.. Williams. but we do think
that If lynchings for one crime were
legalized the mob spirit would become
more rampant. that there would be an
increase in the number of innocent men
who become victims of the mob, and
that we should have a much worse
state Of affairs than we have now.

All Of the small yellow dogs with
white tipped tails in Rochester, N. Y,
have been having a good time during
the past several days; No one has
dared 10 kick such dog, to tie a tin
can to his tail or otherwise mistreat
him. The reason is that on Saturday
last dog answering such description
wandered into lot where some men
were blasting rock and swallowed
stick of dynamite. A police alarm was
sent out concerning the dog and his
dangerous load, but at last advices the
dynamite-laden dog was still AT large
and every member Of the canine race
was being regarded with suspicion by
the populaee.

AN INDEPENDENT OFFICIAL.

The trouble in the government print
ing Office has brought to the attention
of the public the fact that the govern
ment printer is about the most indie
pendent Official connected with the de-
partments at Washington. 1t seems
that nobody In particular has control
of him, and that he disburses nearly
SO. 100000 year
The government printer is a bureau
officer, but isn't attached to any one
of the departments. He gives bond to
the Secretary of the Interior but that
officials authority over him goes no
further. Even the President has no d.
rect control of him. He is responsible
only to Congress. and a committee OF
that body directs his affairs. That ac-
counts probably for the fact that there
have been no Improvements ip the gov
eminent printing office in the direction
Of economy since the foundation of the
government. The Office is loaded up,
it is said, with friends of the members
of the congressional committee that
has charge of 1t.
The President, so II is asserted. pro-
poses to change this condition of af-
fairs, and in his next message will
recommend that the office be attached
TO the new Department of Commerce.
In view of the fact that it contains
hundreds of employees it would seem as
IL ii ought to be under the direction OF
some one of the departments. 1t is
doubtful however, IL the Presidents
recommendation will be promptly nc
cepted by Congress. Senator Plat OF
New York. is the chairman Of the joint
committee that has charge of the Office.
and as he likes power, he viii not will
nngly give up the control of 1t to the
Secretary OF Commerce.
1t may be that it will become neces-
sary to have an investigation of the
Office. showing up some of its abuses,
before public opinion will insist upon
the introduction into II of economies
and the dismissal of the employees
whose services are not needed 1t is
probable that if the office were run
tSOnuiilANdliys ehiAo Aiph with Niit view VI
making it an important factor in poll
tics, the cost would be about $4,000, 00C
year.
When the Presidents message
reaches Congress recommending
changes in the control of the Office the
Democrats ought to insist upon a thor
ough investigation Of it's affairs. II
is safe to assert that first-class CAM
naien ammunition would be found,

Scandals involving greater frauds
than those of the postof6ce Depart
ment are said tor have been discov-
cred in connection with the Indian
lands of the West, and the names of
many prominent and influential men
are understood to be connected with
them. The amount of money secured
by the fraudulent transactions. ac-
cording to the story, will make the
graft" in the postoffice establishment
appear insignificant by comparison.
An agent appointed by the President
has for some weeks been prosecuting
an investigation into the matter. 1t
is said he has found enough to con-
vince him that certain members of the
Dawes Commission, which was created
for the benefit of the. Indians, have
been victimizing Indians on a large
scale in land transactions. One of the
names mentioned in a preliminary re-
port by Mr.. Brosius, the Presidents
commissioner. is that of the chairman
of the Dawes Commission, who is vice
president of company that deals in
lands in Indian Territory. Several 9TH
er members of the commission are also
mentioned In connection with the grab
bling of Indian lands.
