For Cuban Annexation.

to have congress extend a formal in

looking to annexation, and will. when
the Cuban question goes before con

Where the Responsibility Lies.

The man or men guilty Of alleged
lawlesSness toward that negro rural
mail carrier in Tennessee should be
brought 10 trial in the courts If a
crime has been committed. but il is
not right that the people of that par
ticular section should be deprived Of
mail facilities any more than it was
right TO close the postoffice at Indian
ola because the negro pOstmistress
there came to the conclusion that 1t
would be an act of wisdom on her part
to resign. There is no warrant in law
for the postotIice officials Furnishing
entire communities for the acts of one
or more individuals
The real responsibility for these
troubles rests, however, with those
who for selfish political purposes per
sist in ignoring the sentiments and
wishes Of the people, and the condi-
tons in the rural sections OF the
southern states.

Some Lynching Statistics.

Mr.. ]. Ebert Cutler Yale graduate
with a bent for sociology, has been
making study of the peculiar Amer
lean lynching habit and is prepared to
present some authoritative conclu
sions from the unprejudced view
point OF the statistician Mr.. Gut
Ter has long been 1aboriously com
piling statistics covering a pc
riod of twenty years. brought
down to January last He finds that
there were 1928 recorded lynchings
in that time, less than half OF which
occurred in the southern states. OF
that large number of irregular execu-
tons, 1872 We're lyncbings OF negroes
and 256 Of whites. The fact that
more victims We're colOred than white
cannot be taken to argue that race
prejudice is at the bottom of southern
lynchings, for the criminal class of
the south is largely colOred, and col
ored criminalty is a considerable fac
tor in the judicial administration Of
nearly every state Of the union, Quite
a percent of negro lynchngs occurred
outside the southern states, particu-
larly in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. In
further refutatior of the notion that
black men are lynched because Of
their race it is interesting, If shock
ing. to learn that 105 women were
among the lynched. and nearly all of
them in the west and north.
Mr.. Cutler finds that lynchings in
The south have greatly decreased with
in the past ten years; that 35 per cent
Of the whites and 16 per cent Of the
blacks were lynched for crimes
against women and that, contrary to
the general belief the majority of
lynchings for tuat aggravating cause
we're not in the south half being cred
tied TO that section and the remaining
half elsewhere.
The pamphlet issued by Mr.. Cutler
throws considerable light on some as
poets of the lynching problem which
hitherto have been problematical. II
it proves anything. It is that there is
no special cuIpability to be charged
peculiarly to the south because of this
lamentable crime against law and or
der, and that criminals or suspected
criminals are not lynched as result
of negrophobia but through mad
spirit of swift vengeance and lack OF
faith in legal processes.

Mabinf.

Senior Mabini whose death from
cholera is b~.e1y noted in the Manila
dispatches. was the real brains of the
Aguualdo government.
An old man and a cripple, he could
not Join his fellow FilipinOs in the
field, but he was adviser, counselor,
friend to the younger man whose ac-
tive leadership, both in the insurrec-
ton against Spain and the war with
the United States was recognized by
his countrymen Mabini was the au-
thor and compiler Of the really ad-
mirable constitution of the Philip
pines Republic, and so long as that
was able to maintain semblance of
organization he was chief among Agui-
nados cabinet advisers. After the
collapse of this quasi government, Ma
hini was taken and banished to Guam.
There he remained long after other
D0litical prisoners mad beer returned
to the Philippines, because he refused
to swear allegiance to the United
States. After Aguinaldo had been re-
leased by the American authorities
and had advised his people to accept
gracefully American domination and
sovereignty, Mabini announced his
willingness to take the oath and re-
turned to Manila, where he was given
an enthusiastic reception by his fell
low-countrymen He had been back
but a few months when he fell a vic
tim of cholera.
Those Americans who We're best
qualified, through personal contact
with the man, to Judge him have al
ways paid high tribute to Mabini's
character. There seems to be no
doubt that his actions throughout
were inspired by real patriotism; mis-
guided patriotism it may be regarded
in this country, bur patriotism of the
highest order, according to his light
Whe the time comes for the history
of Philippine events to be impartially
written, Mabini's name will probably
rank second only to that of Jose Rial
among Filipino patriots.

vac Hitch with Colombia.

There is no denying that the pros

bia for the construction of the Panama
canal is exceedingly dubious. From
all accounts. the mcrcurial South
American republic is all torn up, po-

it would not be at all surprising to see
a revolution started any day as the
result. Tho president whose admins
