rows, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, has presented
to the senate the protest of the inter
UNCONVENTIONAL council of women for
Christian and patriotic service against

such member has taken an oath where
by he agrees to forfeit his life, should
he divulge the same or fail to COM
ply with its terms; that by said oath

to avenge upon the government the
death Of Joseph and Hyrum Smith,

THE BOY CONFESSED.
Robbed the Postoffice at Lola, Mon
tana.

Henry Delaney, II years old, will an
swer in the tederal court to a charge
Of robbing the postofiice at Lolo. He
appeared voluntarily before United
States Commissioner Wallace 2. Smith
and confessed the crime. He was plac-
ed under $500 bonds. HIS father. j.
e. Delaney, furnished the bond. 1t
was the father who compelled the boy
to confess and surrender.
The postoffice at Lolo has been en-
tered several times during the past
year and mail matter tempered with
In spite of this the depredations were
continued and a paddock was the next
resort. 1t was impossible, however, to
keep out the unknown criminal
Postotiice Inspector Beatty of Great
Falls has been working on the case
and details Of the robberies have been
kept from the public. Early in the
present week Inspector Beatty visited
Lolo and CLEANED information that
caused suspicion to rest on young De-
laney. The official believed that the
boy had at least guilty knowledge of
the affair and questioned him closely,
but was able to detect nothing to solve
the mystery Of the robbery.
Back of the above statement of facts
there is a story of rectitude in the
path of duty rarely equaled in real life.
Young Delaney, after the inspectors
visit, confessed to his father that he
was guilty. Hesitating not an instant,
he at once came to Missoula with his
son, and before the federal commits
sioner complained of the crime. 1t is
probable the crime could never have
been traced otherwise. Mr.. Delaney
extends every tender feeling toward
his son in the lads extremity, but says
nothing could prevent his discharging
his duty.
The Delaneys have been respected
residents of this community for many
years, and the fathers action has
brought warmest praise from the in.

which survived the hurricane. Those
who could not be thus accommodated
are covering in the lee of ruined walls
and dismantled piazzas. The railroad
sheds and waiting rooms are filled with
women and children. The merchants
are feeding the hungry to the best of
their ability, but the majority are sub

down. by the storm. The bananas are
boiled in kerosene oil cans over open
fires made from the debris of destroyed
buildings. This is their sole food sup
ply and it will be exhausted in nine or
ten days.

JUSTICE LORE

Jurist Declares Such Law Is An
archy Pure and Simple.
LAWLESSNESS BREEDS CRIME
says Participants Dare Not Stand
Forth In Court of Justice and
AvOw Crime and Let Law
Take Its Course.

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. ia feat
ure OF the Chautauqua assembly, Fri
day, was an address by Chief Justic'
Charles B. Lore, of the supreme cour
OF Delaware, in which he severely ar
raigned mob law, no matter what prov
ocation, and denied the imputation tina
good citizens" made up the mob which
recently lynched the negro White neal
Wilmington.
His public utterances were received
with much interest, as Justice Lore ant
his fellow members of the bench hav,
been blamed in many places for being
primarily the cause of this lynching
because they refused an immediat,
trial to the negro assaulter of Mis-
Bishop.
After reviewing the American form
OF government and tracing it's various
steps from the voter at the ballot DO,
to the officeholder, Justice Lore said:
I'VE are simply and purely gov
eminent of law. Take away the Law
and society devolves into it's origina
elements, each man following his arbi
trary will. With us, therefore, govern
ment means obedience to law.
Mob Law Is Anarchy.
"Lawlessness means anarchy. Mol
law is anarchy pure and simple. An
archy is the rock upon which all an
cient republics have ultimately beer
wrecked and is to-day one of the mos
threatening evils of our republic.
Strangely enough just at this period
OF our national development, when by
unique victories over oppression, the
United States has a dominant place
over the nations of the earth, and a
time when our government seemed tC
be most strongly rooted in the public
confidence. we have been disgraced by
some of the most revolving and brutal
exhibitions of mob violence recorded
in history.
Mob law saps the moral fiber of ev-
cry participant in the lawless act. and
puts the most respectable of the mob
on the same moral level as the most de-
graded. The mob formed is desperate
and naturally follows it's leader
Lawlessness Breeds Crime.
"Lawlessness breeds crime, and when
responsibility and crime lie down to-
gether, responsibility wallows in the
mire.
mo self-respecting man can be ac-
tive in mob violence against law, order
and decency and retain his moral in
tegrity. He can never forget that he
once joined cowardly mob in doing a
cowardly act, that he, as an individual,
would not dare undertake.
Such man dare not stand forth in
a court of justice and avow his crime
and let the law take it's course"
