thing
A Sheriff to Be Proud Of.

Another mob has learned that deaths
and wounds are the penalty of participa-
ton in attacks on the state.
Sheriff Whitlock Of Danville, Ill.,, and
his trusty shot gun defended justice
against holwing mob on Saturday. The
mob assumed that the sheriff would, at
the worst use blank cartridges. There
wouldn't have been any mob If it had not
been for that assumption.
But the sheriff was not the blank cart-
ridge kind. It is true that he did fire two
revolver shots in the air, but when he
found that the confidence Of the mob that
he would use blank cartridges was not to
be dispelled In that manner, he turned to
loaded cartridges. No revolver this time,
but double barreled shotgun, loaded
with buckshot. Eight or ten times the
good sheriff fired into the mob and every
shot counted for law and order, not only
in Danville but elsewhere.
When the mob had got out of range Of
the sheriff's good weapon two dead and
a score Of wounded were left behind.
Thus thru Sheriff Whitlock did Danville
make amends for the disgrace lynching
mob brought upon 1t.
May there be Whitlock in the path
Of every American mob from this time on,
and may no mob assemble to attack what
belongs to the state or usurp it's functions
that some members Of it do not bite the
dust!
| When it becomes known and understood
everywhere that he who joins a mob is
risking his life, lynchings will be few and
far betewen. 4,'. ..a@.. - = ..|
The truest champion Of American liberty
and democratic institutions at this time
is the sheriff who fears not and shoots

Negroes Coming North.

While it is true that the last census
showed that there had been no large i'm
migration of negroes from the south to the
north, there is little doubt that at the
present time the movement Is consider
able From Charlotte, s.. c., for instance,
eighty negroes left for the north in one
week this month, and during the past
three months three hundred of them have
left the same place or neighborhood.
1.-The exodus Of the laborers," says the
Charlotte Observer, has given the farm
ers of the county quite a serious problem
to face. A large number Of their hands
are gone and they are paying the re-
mainder of them almost double wages,
and still they cannot depend upon them.
The scarcity Of cooks and house servants
Is beginning to be felt In the city, and it
begins to look as if the local heusekeepers
will have to face the problem of their
northern sisters" --~. ..-...r-
This news from Charlotte hlls the
Charleston News and Courier with joy,
and i. deplores the fact that it is illegal
in South Carolina for emigration agents
TO Work among the negroes. Inc same Is
true in Georgia. The News and Courier
thinks these laws are unconstitutional.
Nevertheless it is a fact that emigration
agents have been arrested for trying to
get negroes out of South Carolina, where
| there seems to be a general desire among
| the whites for them to go.
The News and Courier would like to see
| the negroes continue to leave the south
| not only because of their social enc
| Efficiency, but because their presence keeps
away white immigrants. The negro prob
| lem would be a much easier one to handle
| if the negroes were evenly distributed
| thruout the country. It is true, and there
| Is no use in denying it, that the presence
| of large masses Of negro population in the
| south discourages immigration to the
south from the north. Right here In
Minneapolis, the white people do. not like
to live near the negroes. If negro buys
a lot and builds house in a certain
block, property in the neighborhood de-
| preciates in value. This is too wel-known
to run any risk Of denial. 1t is one of the
facts that go to show that, the people OF
! the north are not so much kinder to the
negro than the people Of the south.

'Twould Be ''Odious."

President Palma states that Cuba has
fully met the requirements of the Platt
amendment as to provision of revenues to
ments, in view of the loan Of $35, 000, 900
which a Cuban commission is to negotiate
soon, either in the United States or in
Europe.
The Platt amendment requires that the
Cuban government shall not contract or
assume any public debt, if the ordinary
insular revenues, after defraying current
governmental expenses, are not sufficient
to meet the interest and reasonable sink
ing fund requirements. The inference
from this provision is that information
should be given to the United States by
the Cuban government as to whether the
conditions under which a loan may be
negotiated under the agreement actually
exist. President Palma states that yield
ing to such quasi supervision of Cuban
affairs by the United States, would be
considered. odious by the people Of Cuba
and he anticipated that no such super
vision will be regarded as necessary"
Nevertheless 1t is part Of the agreement
between Cuba and the United States and
if the bond is carried out, President
Roosevelt would require an exhibit of the
Cuban treasury conditions. It would, how
ever, be easy to attach to a claim of
supervisory power over such matters by
our government, the attribute of RESPONSE
bility for the loan, If approved at Wash
ington. The United States government
which would be a very good thing for
Cuba, but not exactly kind Of RESPONSE

country. Cuba is ordered not to contract

THE .NONPAREII MAN

Every spiritually enlightened person who
has ever spoken to the world has laid the
emphasis on love, on the kindly comrade-
ship of man with To begin to be
happy. it is necessary to get the seeds of
malice out of our hearts, to strange ten
denotes toward bitterness and ill-will and
to live together as friends and brothers.
Whistler by pursuing exactly the opposite
course died an embittered old man. One
of the truest sections of Walt Whitman's
great book is called "Calamus." It is de-
voted to comradeship, to the robust love
or man for man. Love makes man great;
criticism, nisanthropy and hatreds of all
kinds make him small and miserable. Let
us start in and begin to love our fellow
man, no matter if it takes leg.
When Dement'S improved airship was
ready to be launched over in Bryn Mawr
the other day, he got a fool idea that the
first man to go up in her ought to be
practical seaman. So that retired old salt,
Captain Benjamin Binnacle, who had
stood dog watch SO often that he almost
barked when the moon shone at night,
was sent for to inspect the craft and to
give an expert opinion Of her seagoing
qualities. Captain Binnacle rolled over to
the shed Thursday afternoon and cast a
seaman's eye on the craft. The first
glance he gave at her lines was Favored
with much distrust. He walked around
audibly.
"By spikes broke out Captain Binna-
Gle, finally. I'D rather tackle $50 bar
rel bull whale than that devils craft She
! looks to me as if she'd make water faster
than the whole crew could pump her
clear" - s--
1t was explained to Captain Binnacle
that the craft was intended to navigate
the air and not the briny deep. but the
| old salt continued to groWl his disap-
| prevail of her lines.
"By kittle," exclaimed the sturdy sea-
man, sit would take four rounds of rum
and unlimited plum duff every day to
| make me navigate her. She's Davy
| Jones' own boat if ever I clapped my
eyes on one or I'm a porpus.'
Demont had arranged gas bag to lift
| the airship and the plan was, after she
| had gone up a certain distance, to cut
| loose from the balloon and rely on
aeroplanes. Captain Binnacle finally
agreed to go up with the inventor to test
| the balloon. It was understood that the
| ship was not to be cut loose at this time.
| After they had reached a point about 100
| feet above the earth, the old salt seized an
| auger and began to bore a hole in the
i bottom Of the airship.
| ''Hold on, there, Captain exclaimed
| the inventor, what are you going to dog
| 'Scuttle her, by spikes" exclaimed the
excited sea dog; IT don't care If she goes
| to the bottom with all on board" =
Dement, released the gas and the ship
settled quietly to the land again. He
says the old captain may be as right and
| tight as sea biscuit on the water but
In an airship/h is all up in the air and
worse than lumber cargo in a heavy
