The Lvnchburo lynchers.

OF all places, one named Lynchburg
and that. too, located in Tennessee,
would be about the last in which to
look for a vigorous stand by the officers
against lawlessness. But the stand
was made nevertheless, and the name
OF Sheriff Davidson is to be honored
along with those of Sheriff N'hitlock
and Governor Durbn of Indiana. Sher-
if Davidson has a different idea of his
duties than that entertained by most
sheriffs of his section. He has the
right stuff in him, and possibly the
good example of officials in Indiana
and Illinois during the recent lynch
ing epidemic, had appealed to him.
Anyway. when the mob came to his
Jail he not only refused to give up the
keys, but called for assistance and then
opened fire from window. The sher-
if was so poorly prepared. however.
that though he shot to kill and brought
down one of the lynchers. he was UNI
able to prevent them from breaking
into the prison. The mob proved it's
usual cowadice by killing the negro
prisoner in his cell. fearing to drag him
out to q public sacrifice because the
sheriff's rifle was still able to do execu-
ton. Sheriff Davidson, nevertheless.
coralled three of the man-kilers and
put them in the cell of their victim
where the wretchcS "squeaied" and
gave up the names of 13 fellow mur-
derers
Now if the governor of Tennessee
and the courts of the state will only
back up this brave sheriff, mob law in
that section will be given blow it
will long remember. When lynching is
treated as anarchy and lynchers shot
down. there is good hope for the event.
ual wiping out of the blot that has so
long stained our national honor.
Lynching must be treated as a capital
crime and all lynchers as murderers.
Sheriff Davidson of Lynchburg, Ten
nessee. with his record of one lyncher
killed and three others shut up in the
cell of their victim, deserves the thanks

In connection with the celebration of
the centennial of the first Catholic
church i'm Boston to which we referred
in this column, yesterday, it is of inter-
est to note that the second church of
that denomination in New England
was erected on Maine soil. 1t still
stands at Damariscotta Mills, old st.
Patrick's church, built of stone and
surmOumted by a square tower. 1t was
ereo ted in 1908, and SO is only five years
younger than the Oldest Catholic
church in New England. The Catholic
church at Whitefield is only few years
younger. and was in existence FOR
years before there was a Catholic
church in Portland or any other city of
the State.

A French writer has figured out that
this country is to be blamed for the
defeat of France by Germany in the
great war of a third of a century ago
He argues it this way: If the United
States had sent troops into Mexico i'm
,mediately upon the close of the Civil
War sre undoubtedly would have whip
ped the French troops there. Had the
French troops been whipped then
France would have realized her mill
tary defects and have reformed her
system, so that when war came with
Germany she would have been able to
hold her own, or she would have been
SO ehagrined that she would not have
sought war with that Power. The
United States neglected to whip France
in Mexico, therefore she is responsible
for her defeats in Europe. The argu-
ment looks logical enough. but the real
trouble was that France got out of
Mexico before the American army had
time to go down there and drive 1t out.

kino Edward as Ruler.

For well over a century the sover-
eigns of England have been content 10
reign without ruling. The ministers
have been the real rulers of the en-
pire. and the kings and queens VINO
have followed in turn even including
the gracious and noble Victoria, nave
shown little disposition to assert their
royal prerogatives. The first George
was a German who knew httie ana
cared little about England, ana other
Georges were men of narrow minds,
debased morals and small executive
capacity. One of them went wholly
mad. William ". the sailor king"
was as incompetent as he was rough
hammered. Anne was as foolish as she
was fat. Victoria is revered as woman
and mother rather than as queen and
ruler. Not since the days of William
III who was King from 1859 to 1902,
has England had a sovereign who real
" ruled while he reigned.
Edward VII, therefore, creates some
thing of a mild sensation when he
shows disposition to be considered as
the throne he has drawn into his hands
many powers exercised for generations
by ministers, and now that he has in
sisted on naming the ministers who
shall succeed those who resigned, Great
Britain is realizing that it has a ruler.
Edward VII is neither very able man
nor a remarkably good man. but he has
more brains and morals than any SOW
ereign which England had for over a
century before the reign of his royal
mother, and he possesses, moreover, an
abundance of that tact which is a most
powerful lever in moving the world.
There is no doubt that it was his in
fluence which ended the Boer war and
visited Ireland and forced settlement
of the troublesome Irish land question.
His visit to France established new
relations with that country, and he has
made Italy and Portugal more friendly
toward England than they have ever
been before. He came to the throne Il
very sick man and few dreamed he
would live as long as this, but he is
still able to put enough vigor into his
work as ruler to stir up the dust of
English traditions and revive the mem
cries of the time when the King weld
ed all authority and power. No doubt,
he is aided in this by the lack of any
great men of commanding abilities on
the stage of British public affairs by
the divided and leaderless condition of
political parties, and by the loss Of in
fiuence which the peerage has suffered
These things make the crown loom
large in the public imagination and
give Edward VII the opportunity which
he is improving.
