Study of Judge Lynch.
From the Pittsburg Post


A scientific study of lynchings in the
United States during the past twenty years.
made by post graduate of Yale Universi-
ty. groups some interesting facts. If it does
not contribute to national pride. 1t is the
only investigation of the subject we have
seen that covers a long period, and there
fore warrants certain conclusions In the
twenty-one years ending January 1, 1903,
there were 1898 lynchings in this country.
OF these victims Of mob law 1872 were
blacks and ,256 were whites, the color of
the remaining 105 not being stated. The
average yearly lynchings of blacks was,
then S91a. and of whites So Sixty-one
women were lynched, 80 of them being
colored and 81 white. Not more than 80
per cent of the blacks were Iynched for
rape. and about 16 per cent of the whites
were lynched for the same crime. Only
about one-half. or 1854, of these lynchings
occurred in the south, most of the re-
mainder happening in the far western
states. 1t is also shown that there has
been steady decrease in lynchings In the
south during the past ten years. owing to
the formation Of anti-lynchng societies
and the spread Of educational agencies
The most interesting phase of the study
OF lynching Is In the attempt to account for
the frequent resort to mob law to punish
crime. The author of the Yale study ven
lures this explanations: 1.-The American
people are not less law-abiding than those
of other countries. but they have a differ
ent attitude toward the law. In the older
countries the law is regarded as a sacred
authority from a superior source. Here the
law lacks long practice and the growth Of
tradition. In a democracy the people are
law unto themselves. In a monarchy the
officials who enforce the law are in no way
responsible to the people upon whom they
enforce it. Lynching has been generally
resorted to In order to terrorize the lawless
Instead of to wreak vengeance. The Plea
OF the lynchers Is. ''let past crime be met
with present crime to prevent a future
crime"

Day without suspectfng the existence of this
really enormous industry. Yet he could
hardly enter court or alley in any direc-

In many of these six to eight women and

bewildered by their surroundings. and some
of the younger animals promptly deserted,
and are now wandering in the foot hills.
Those that remained started in on their
work in a way that delighted the ranch.;
men, and In less than a week 1t was de-
termined to import all the cats that could
be obtained. There are now on the ranch,'
which isnearly two hundred miles east Of this
city, about two hundred and seventy five
cats, each one guaranteed to kill no fewer
than two prairie dogs every day.
From city of several thousand popula-
ton the prairie dogs town at the edge of
the sheep ranch has diminished until now
there are fewer than one thousand remain
ing, and these are being wiped out rapidly.
AS soon as all of the dogs have been killed
the cats will be rented to other sheep men

make handsome profit out of the venture.

CATS SHIPPED TO MONTANA
The Prairie Dog Pest Diminished by
Felines From Minnesota.

Form the Butte Inter Mountain.
Minnesota cats by the hundreds have
been imported into this state by two
sheepmen, in an endeavor to exterminate
the prairie dogs. which have become
great pest Nelson & Rice are the owners
of the ranch where the cat experiment is
being tried The cats are of all colors and
varieties, and were brought from st. Paul
and Minneapolis a week or two ago. The
ranch Is in the foot hills, in the sheep coun-
try, and for the last two years the owners
have been almost driven out by the prairie
dogs, which have multiplied so rapidly that
they are destroying vegetation and grain
Poison was tried without effect, and then
an attempt was made to shoot the little
dogs, but this was found useless waste
of money, as the animals simply laughed
at the hunters. Finally Rice made up his
mind to try the cats. Going to Minnesota,
he went among his friends and from them
secured lot Of the felines. the bigger and
more savage they were the better The
cats were shipped to the ranch in lots of
