Then it May Stop.

GreenNille Living Truth,
 Lots of the papers are giving free ad- vice as to how the lynching craze car be broken up. It seems that some people Will never learn that certain crimes mean a speedy and merciless death. When you can make all the people fully compre- bend this and drill it into the head of the ignorant negro that ne white man will take the law into his own hands when a crime against his home has been com mitted then it may stop.

fence against a negro, which was an in- direct accusation of disregard of their oath by the jurymen and dishonesty in the performance of their duty. In our opinion, the Judge went too far when he questioned the motives of the jurors. It was manifeStly impossible for him to know their motives.
 On the other hard. MT. Hefiin seems to err quite as greatly in his fault finding. He goes much too far when he questions the right of the Judge to instruct the jury, and when he declares that the Judge was nctuated by the desire of pro President. Here we have the Judges mo- tives impunged in a manner altogether unwarranted by any fact within the knowledge of MT. Hefiin It is due to the Judge, and MT. Heflin owes it to himself as an honorable man. to withdraw this charge and to apologize for making tt. He should be the more ready to offer the amende, when he recognizes that the Judge is in a position where he can not personally resent any imputations upon his honesty.
 It is a fact that the practice in Fed eral courts allows the Judge to instruct the jury and the Judge can be questioned only as to the manner of use of the power tntrusted to him. He was certainly with in his rights when he instructed the jury that the verdict must be in accordance with the evidence and, as the evidence was in his opinion conclusive, the verdict must be that of guilty as charged. He was within his rights In expressing hls surprise and disappointment that the jury did not return such verdict. Where he went wrong was in asserting that the jury was influenced by unworthy motives. This was mistake, but a natural one for man of Judge Jones disposition. and not deserving to be taken as the occasion for inc yirulent attacks made upon him,
 We want honest and fearless men on the bench, and Judge Jones is such man. Hastily 10 condemn him is to impair his usefulness, and, moreover, to make 1t appear that we do not want our own men to accept these judgeships unless they does us great damage. This is not good for us in fact. nor good for. our reputa- tion We want this driven home to the attention of Thomas Heflin and others who seem disposed to criticise in un- measured language. We wish them to know that the sober thought of Alabam- ians is not behind them, but against them in their warfare upon the Federal Judge.

And there can be no doubt of MurreIrs sincerity when he said too that he lovstl to see the Southern people come around.

 Uncle Joe Sees Light.
 The news from New York and from Oyster Bay is enough to convince that your Uncle Joe Cannon. If he has not seen a great light. has seen some light on the question of financial legislation by Congress which he a little while ago stoutly secuted MT. Wi.l-Ba Speaker cannon was brought up in an atmosphere of sullen and stubborn distrust of Wall Street and on natural impulse talked out the currency that he was sure came from the money center, the money-contracting center. He had no sooner come east ward than he began to recede and in Washington qualified his position by say ing that of course if majority of the House wanted financial legislation he woud interpose no factious opposition. That showed coming around which he settled by completing the circle as soon as he had slept a night in Gotham and been back from the Long Island Village that belongs to the Roosevelt family. So 1t is quite likely that Cannon will lend himself to an effort to provide a more elastic currency for which President Roosevelt himself has spoken in a strident blast of generality.

Goodwater Democrat.
 People in this part of the State know J. T. Hefiin. Secretary of State, to be a thoroughbred demagogue. and his assault on Judge Jones will fall fiat. Hefiin did not regard reason in the matter nor fair ness to Jones.
 Judge Jones is known to be one of Ala bama's truest and most able statesmen of honest convictions and one who would sacrifice his name, his life if need be- on the altar of justice rather than see the name of Alabama trail in the dust On the other hand, Secreary Hefiin is only known as a humorous stump speaker, who ever pslys to the galleries for the ap- plause 4f his hearers. Hefiin has a happy tact of amusing an audience in a light way, b9 as to solid principles and con victions,l we don't think Tommy Is af- ficted.

The Case of Hedges.

Another beloved Postoffice Department chief has fallen. This time 1t is super- intendent of City Delivery Hedges who has been forced out. The case of Hedges have had to suffer the consequences of the reign of graft Hedges, nobody be- lieves was bad man in office. The trouble with him that while travelling on official business he mixed little private enterprises with it and charged the gov ernment for all of his travelling expenses to the government. It is said that Messrs Bristow and Wynne have carried their reform movement to ex- tremes in the case ef Hedges. If de- tently there will be a new deal of office holders pretty much throughout the gov ernment.
 It is little curious how the Postoffice department conculsion has affected all the other departments in Washington. There has been rare tightening of the screws all around and every little divis- ion Is getting on it's best behavior pre- paratory to the ordeal of possible investi- gation.
 Rules are being enforced which have long been disregarded. Many a mickle of. expenditure hitherto allowed without question is being blocked until a huge muckle Of saving for the government will soon result. Even Secretary Root has tried to find law to prevent War De- partment clerks from enjoying a Satur- day half-holiday. But, all the same. the popular belief is pervasive and vigorous that no branch of the government more urgently needs investigation than the War Department, which has done more suppression of intelligence about its doing than anything comparable to it save perhaps the gov@nment of weyler Tn the days of Spanish rule in Cuba. The truth goes about the department of war unseen and impalpable. Most of it is Known to Secretary Root and ha doas not, they say, know the half of the rot tenness. He is so in the habit of SUD- pressing things that a genuine, live, hot scandal Is withered. chilled and frozen ere u can reach the Secretary's door. There will never be a divulgence of truth aoout the War Department wn.le Root is at Its head. But it remains to be seen what Congress can do.

Most Unwarranted Attack.
Attalla Mirror.

Attalla Mlrror,
 Secretary of State Hefin. who is an able and brilliant man and should put his talents to better use, has made a bit- ter and most unwarranted attack upon Judge Jones of the Federal Court of Ala bama, because the latter recently told a' recreant jury in his court some very plain and stinging truths about their recreancy in refusing to convict a man clearly guilty of the offense he was tried for in the Federal Court at Montgomery The hope of Alabama and of the South Is in just such men as Judge Jones, who have the courage to do their duty, no matter what the clamor or prejudice around him may be.
