THE PEOPLE TO BLAME.

[From the Minneapolis JournaL1
The attempt to prove that the courts
are. by reason of dila toriness. leniency
and politics, responsible for the flourish
ing condition of lynch law only sue
ceeds in running around a circle and
coming back to the community. The
citizens of a community are respon-
sible for the kind OF courts they have.
If they have despicable judges they are
TO blame; they are getting what they
deserve
To read most of the labored essays
that are seeking to make out that the
courts are to blame for the present
carnival of lynch law, one would get
the impression that the judges are re-
sponsible for the failures of juries to
convict. The truth is that the average
jury, made up as rule of representa-
tive men of the whole community, hes
itates to convict on the strongest kind
of evidence, and often lets go scot free
criminals of whose fragrant guilt there
is no doubt. The whole country has
been amazed by the course of a fed
eral jury at Montgomery, Ala, in dis
agreeing. though Judge Jones told the
jury that it would have to convict II 1t
believed only the defendants evidence.
But such juries are common. Now
they would not be common if the peo-
pie had a healthy sense of the duty
every man owes the state, of the dig
nifty of law and the necessity of its
stern enforcement. What can people
expect of the elected parts of their
courts if they, themselves, when made
part of the court, and not subject
to the temptations or trials of the
judges, fail to do their duty2
Neglect of public duty leads to viola
ton of the law. The business man who
does not know what alderman repre-
sents his ward in the city council does
not realize that there is a direct con-
nection between his Sinking of public
duties and the bloody work of Judge
Lynch. But there is. Because he and
other men on whom falls the RESPONSE
bility Of government in this republic
have failed to govern, a species of an
archy has resulted, and the primal in
stinct of revenge supersedes civilized
iuStice

MUST BE LOYAL.
Persons Before Naturalization
Must Believe in Government.

Governor Bailey is in receipt of a
communication from the department of
state at Washington enclosing a copy
of the act of congress of March 8, 1908,
regarding immigration.
The 18th section of the act taking eff
feet on July 3, 1908. provides that in or
der to render court judgment of nat
uralization valid. the court record must
show that the person naturalized is not
opposed to any organized form of gov
eminent nor affiliated with any organi-
cation so opposed. that he does not ad-
vocate the unlawful assaulting or killing
of officers of the government and has
not violated any of the provisions of
said immigration act and has complied
with the terms of previous acts on the
subject of naturalization and that every
certificate Of naturalization will specific
ally recite that the requirements of
above act and previous acts have been
complied with or be null and void
The department requests the gov
ernor to bring this matter to the at
tention of the courts of Kansas having
power to naturalize aliens. This is
very material notifications of the pre-
vious naturalization law, and all
courts having power to naturalize and
all persons desiring naturalization
should be fully advised of its provi-
SiOns.

Germ. Losses have been exceedingly Sc
we're. and the fact that they have thus
far been quietly met without inducing
open disaster is simply astonishing. Ii
is explained, of course, by the other
fact that the losses have chiefly fallen
upon the rich, and by still another that
liquidation while forced has at no time
been allowed to develop symptoms of
panic. Support at critical times has
always been forthcoming from big in
siders as well as from bargain hunting
investors who usually appear when Sc
curities sell at or under intrinsic values.
For high grade railroad stocks with 81

capacity there are ready purchasers on

eventually prove profitable investments.
even should the market fall to a stih
lower level. AS to the latter possibility.
it depends entirely to the complete
ness of liquidation and an assertion to
that effect is premature. 1t is quite
certain that bottom will not be touched
until the weak spots have been thor
oughly eliminated. while the bear ele-
ment, encouraged by recent success, are
likely to carry their campaign to the
extreme limit Indications are that the
bottom is not far distant, and that
many stocks are at or sufficiently near
bottom to warrant purchasing on a
downward scale. This applies, however.
only to really sound securities. There
is still on the market a mass of undi-
gested stocks. or indigestible, as Mr..
Hill aptly described them, for which a
still lower market is possible. if not
probable. AS a disturbing element,
therefore. these must continue to be
taken into consideration"

of principal stocks as compared with
those of the 1901 panic and of the recent

WILL PAY STANTON.
State Auditor Will Allow Sal
airy of State Architect.

The salary of John F. Stanton, state
architect" will be paid to him Friday
for the month of July. Auditor Wells
has secured from Attorney General
Coleman an opinion that the salary can
be legally paid.
There may be a fight made on the
payment of the money. 1t is claimed
that the executive council has no right
to appoint Mr.. Stanton state archl-
tect," and that he is not entitled to any
salary. The attorney general holds that
while there may be some doubt as to
the case, the emergency is such that the
auditor is warranted in paying over the
$500 salary as it falls due. Stanton is
doing considerable general work for the
state institutions, and is probably saw
ing the state some money.
Cyrus Leland introduced bill at the
house last winter providing for state
architect but the senate killed it be-
cause they thought it was something LIE
land wanted. The appropriation bill was
drawn to conform to the proposed
state architect" bill, and appropriated
$500 as salary for the man holding that
position. So there was a $500 salary
with no job to match
The executive council had no right
to appoint anything except a state
house architect, but it decided to sail in
and make a job to fit the s., 500 appro-
priation, and appointed Stanton as state
architect.

CHILD LOST IN SWAMP.
Nearly Dead from Hunger and Terror
When Rescuers Reach Him.

Duluth, Mimi, July 30.-Albert Swan
son, the 5 year old son of Charles
Swanson, a homesteader near Gowan,
Mimi, forty miles from Duluth, who
has been lost in a great swamp near
that place for four days and four
nights, was found late this afternoon
by an Indian guide, John Lapario. The
boy was nearly dead from hunger and
terror
The Indian was one of three guides
who had 100 white men in charge search
ing for the lost boy. The boy was found
on a deer trail which Lapario followed
for short distance more as matter
of habit and curiosity than really
thinking the boy might be found on it.
When discovered the child scarcely
realized that he had been rescued, ana
his eyes opened and shut like one in
dream when spoken to. Observing this
the searchers quit talking to him and
prepared to carry him home The little
one had wandered more than two miles
into the great swamp. Lapario made a
birch bark basket and in it carried the
boy to his home
The child's mother was Frustrated
with grief She was sure that her boy
had been destroyed by wild boasts.
Even the searchers today had small
hopes of finding the boy alive.
The boy disappeared while seeking
rasDberries on the edge of the swamp.
It is thought the child will recover.

Swedish State Railway Reduces the
Freights to Develop Ore Traffic.

Stockholm. July 30.-Responding to
the petition of the ironmasters of south
ern Sweden, the state railway admin
istration has consented to reduce by
one-half the freights on Lapland ores
in order that extensive trials of the
product may be made. 1t is believed
that the tests will prove successful and
that a great iron industry will spring
up in the country, giving employment
to thousands of people.
Contracts for the shipment OF Ian

in ten years and will not be renewed.
1t is expected that by that time the
Spanish mines that at present are the

Great Britain would be mainly de-
pendent on ore from America, Canada
