CURRENT COMMENT.

The Albany IN. " Argus (Dem)
says; Mr.. Roosevelt must have a
scapegoat. The postal scandals re-
quire 1t. Mr.. Payne was appointed to
help along the second term prospects.
He has helped to ruin the second term

The Brooklyn Eagle Dem.) says:
There can be no doubt that the idea
of arbitration is the ideal one in all
labor troubles. But there can also be
no doubt that the essence of arbitra-
ton must be good faith. BY this is
meant that when both sides recur to

cepted by both, and that the side.
which may regard itself as the loser by
that decision. must especially COM
mend the principle of arbitration to
the world, by loyal acceptance of a
disappointment and of the resultant
situation. Otherwise, arbitration can
at any time be made a mockery for
reasons which any one can see."
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.). dis
cussing recent incidents in the Georgia
Legislature says: THE curious charge
is made that newspaper men have
voted on the passage of bills, owing to
the fact that the members of the
Legislature are not carefully segregated.
OF course this mixture of newspaper
reporters with members of the Legis-
lature has a tendency to raise the gen.
eral average of intelligence and to i'm
prove the quality of the enactments.
but II is wiser on the whole to protect
the reputation of the newspaper men
by keeping them and the legislators
entirely separate. The newspaper
men should not be excluded from the
hall of the Legislature, as the people
have scanty means apart from the pa
pers. OF observing the sort OF men
their representatives are. But they
should be kept in a gallery, or fenced
on, 80 that the responsibility for the
laws may be correctly placed. Geor-

THE PRESIDENT HAD NO REGRET,

Of course here in the South where
Gen. Miles isn't popular no tears
are being shed and no indigna-
ton expressed over the man
ner in which he was notified
that the time for his retirement
from the army had arrived. In the
North, however, where Gen. Miles has
many friends. the President is being
severely criticised for the brief, curt
and cold way in which the notification
was given. 1t is claimed the notifica-
ton amounted to an insult. 1t was
very different from the courteous and
sympathtic notification which was
given to Gen. Schofeld on the occasion
of his retirement.
Efforts have been made to hold Mr..
Root, Secretary of War, re-
sponsible to some extent for the slight.
but it is evident that the President
was the controlling mind in the mat
ter While it is true that Secretary
Root doesn't like Gen. Miles, and is
the official head of the department
which issued the notification, there
isn't any doubt that the President is
the responsible party.
1t is said that MIR. Root consulted
with the President about the charac-
ter of the notification a few days be-
fore 1t was issued, and that the Presi-
dent insisted that he wouldn't play the
part of a hypocrite. He is quoted as
saying that he didn't like Gen Miles
and didn't believe he was a friend of
his administration, and that therefore
he wouldn't say anything he didn't be-
lieve and feel.
1t is a fact of course that the re-
lations between Gen. Miles ana the
President have been strained for a
long time. On one occasion the Presi-
dent administered to him a singing re-
Duke in public, and Gen. Miles took oc-
casion to make it evident that he had
no love for the President or respect
! for his administration. 1t was
thought, and by the President S
friends, is still thought. that Gen.
! Miles colored his report on the Philip
] pines with the view of bringing the
administration into disrepute.
A question which presents itself in
this connection is this: If the Presi-
/ dent didn't feel that he wanted to say
| anything pleasant of Gen. Miles an6
| his record, even though there were
| facts in his military career that would
have justified him in doing so. ought
he to have suppressed his feelings and
said something kindly of the retiring
head of the army? The question is
one on which there is, and will con-
tinue to be, a difference of opinion
! No doubt the course pursued by the
! President will make him some political
! enemies, but as long as the number OF
such enemies isn't large enough to Sc
riously interfere with his political am
bition it is probable that he will not
| give them any thought.

Death. the LeveIer.

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armor against Fate;
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down.
And in the dust, be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and
spade.
Some men with swords may reap the
field,
And plant fresh laurels where they
kill:
But their strong nerves at last must
yield:
They tame but one another still;
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring
When they, pale captives, creep to
death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty
deeds:
Upon Deaths purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb.
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossoms in the dust.
james Shirley Q596-1666).

PERSONAL.

Shortly before Maj. ]. B. Pond, the
lecture bureau expert" was taken
with what proved to be his last illness,
he was entertaining some friends at
dinner, when one of them asked: MA
jor, you have at one time and another
known all the celebrities. Tell me,
what sort OF comparison would you
make between Tamage and Mark
Twain" That is rather a difficult
question to answer" replied the ma
jor, with a twinkle in his eyes. But
I'll say this: One of them lied only
when he had to and the other lied
whether he had to or not"
Frederick Charles Digby- Roberts,
Mayor of Abilene, Tex, has just COM
pleted a genealogical tree dating back
to A. D. 1916 on the paternal side and
half century farther on the mater
nal. His Investigations show him to
be direct descendant of William the
Conqueror. The Mayor came to this
country from England twenty years
ago and has been a resident OF Abilene
ever since. A typical American in
everything that is American, he is de-
clared to be the best man ever chosen
Mayor by the voters of Abilene. He
is married to an American woman and
has one child.
Since her marriage some two
months ago the Grand Duchess Caro-
lima of Saxe-Weimar has carried on a
quiet but determined struggle against
the trammels of court etiquette and
bureaucracy. Like wives IN less exalt-
ed social station, she wishes to be mis-
tress in her own household, but high
personalities who have been accustomed
to rule doings of the Weimar court
have resented this attitude and have
brought powerful influence to bear in
the hope of inducing the grand duchess
to comply with their views. Serious
dissonance has resulted. and in order
to secure some measure Of peace the
duchess has gone to Switzerland.

DR.. Gillespie, the present Moderator

he was nonplussed the other day by a

The fact that Pope Leo XIII wrote
what is practically a deathbed poem,
which was printed in the press several
days ago, recalls to mind that, as
Charles Wesley lay dying, he com
posed a stanza expressing his thoughts
and feelings in the presence of the Iu-
ture, says the Philadelphia Press ne

he wrote In English. He lay very ST.
lent for awhile, and then called MS
wife to him to take down these lines
which he dictated:

Strength of my falling flesh and
heart:

His Honor in Hard Luck.

About two weeks ago, says the Madill'
(Ok.) News, Judge Lewis while taking
bath backed UP and made rear
end connection with a red-hot stove and
ever since that time he has been COM
PEELED to stand up and eat his meals
from a shelf. The accident has been
a source of much pain to the judge
ever since it happened and was the
cause of his riding over to Tishomingo
last Sunday to see the ball game, seat
ed on a pillow. While the game was
in progress, besides nearly getting into
a fight with a TishomingO buffer, a
swift curve thrown by the pitcher
caught him just two inches below and
little to the right of the lower front
vest button. The blow almost killed
father" and caused a dscoloration and
a badly bruised spot about the size.
shape and color of a stove lid. The
editor accompanied the judge on the
trip and on the way back to Madill the
horse choked down in the middle of
the Washita river and came near being
drowned.

TnE sUMNIER sCHOOL.

Now that the Summer School at
Athens has ended it is possible to form
a pretty fair opinion of the results
achieved and the impression it made.
Judging from what those who attended
are saying, and most of them are per-
sons capable of forming a judgment
on the subject that is entitled to re-
spect, it was such a success that all
who were interested in promoting il
have reason to be proud of it, and to
be satisfied that it's future is assured
There is no doubt that great efforts
were made to get the very best talent
obtainable for the lectures, and that
the lectures were satisfactory from
every point of view. Indeed, all of the
instruction seems to have been of d
very high order of merit. The truth is
the students got great deal at very
small outlay.
The attendance was fully up to ex-
pectations, and every promise, as fan
as we have learned. was kept. There
was therefore no ground for complaint
On the contrary the management re-
ceived great deal of praise for what
it accomplished. The Summer Schoo
at Athens may be regarded as a per-
manent institution.

IN THE DIRECTION of ANARCHY.

The letter of the President to Gov.
| Durbin of Indiana which we publish
| ed yesterday, in which the Governor
/ is highly commended for his course
in trying to bring lynchers to justice.
/ doesn't contain any new argu-
ments against lynching. but it
! puts all of the old ones
strongly and clearly and ought
to have considerable effect in check
ing the lynching evil. The President
says that lynch law is a manifesto
ton of the spirit of anarchy and that
lynchings threaten the stability of the
republic
There is no doubt truth in this
statement. 1t is noticeable that as
the lynchings increase in number
there is an increase in the variety of
crimes for which persons are lynched.
1t is getting to be quite common to
lynch persons who are believed to be
guilty of crimes other than rape. The
tendency is Of course for the mob to
steadily widen the field of it's opera
tions. If it is permitted to have it's
way in respect to one kind of crime
it will insist upon furnishing persons
charged with other kinds of crime. If
lynchings for any crime are tolerated
therefore it will not be very long be-
fore the mob will brush aside judges
and courts and visit it's vengeance
upon any one that incurs it's displeas-
t1ra Of ha
dition of anarchy. No mans life or
property would be safe. The mob
would pass under the control of those
having no higher object than to plum
der and kill those against whom they
had a spite or grievance.
OF course the great majority of
those who engage in lynchings are in
fiuenced only by the desire for ven
geance. They give no thought to the
danger to society and to the country
which their violations of law threat
en-. Even the argument that their
own safety and the safety of their
property depend upon a strict observ-
ance of the law makes but little i'm
preston upon them. Therefore it is
necessary that the influential part of
every community, that part that
shapes public sentiment, should take
Il more active and determined stand
against mob law. Not only that, but
officials who show a purpose to COM
pei a respect for the law must be up
held.
The letter to Gov. Durbin is time
ly and the sentiments it contains
should be urged upon the attention of
the people in every possible way. It
is evident that there is need of an
earnest movement against lynch law
in about every one of the states. The
fact that lynchings are common in
this country is the subject of comment
in the newspapers and periodicals of
Europe. Even Tolstoi, the celebrated
Russian writer. in a recent interview,
calls attention to it in a way that
shows a decreasing respect for Ameri-
can civilization and the American gov
eminent.
