There are in this community many
strong. clear-headed men who can be
counted on in any emergency TO up
hold the law at all times. and who are
prepared to support the officers Of the
law in the discharge OF their duty.
During the past week they have had
to maintain their position amid popu-
lar clamor, and against the arguments
OF the violent. They were clear-sight-
ed enough to see that unless we ac-
knowledge that our courts are compe-
tent to handle the gravest cases, they
are incompetent in any case. and that
IL the law is set aside in one instance
that offers an ample excuse for the
hot-headed and violent to set il aside
according to their own whim.
Without the sustaining force Of this
law-abidlng element in the commu-
nifty there could be no courts, no or
derly administration OF the law. Yet
what encouragement has this element
received? It has had to meet the
abuse Of the mob and its sympathizers
on one hand. and it has received no
word OF commentator or encourage
ment from the authorities It has en-
deavored TO sustain. A week has pass
ed. yet any word OF indignation on the
part Of the sworn officers of the law is
yet to be heard. But we have heard
words of commendation A week has
PASSED and yet no public official has
dared 70 assert that the majesty of the
law will. be vindicated.
The leaders Of the law breaking mob
have been glorfled and feted, but there
has been no intimation that the au-
thorities even regret the violence. save
that It has given them many hours of
discomfort and uneaslness. We ask,
then. what right have these authorities
in the future to ask for respect, COM
mendation and support when in the
discharge of their duty? II the law
abiding citizens have been deserted in
this hour by the mob and by the sworn
officers of the law, their zeal for le-
gal and orderly conduct OF all cases
may be diminished.

however, the umpire made decision
that he hadn't submitted to popular ap-

Law, FEELING. Habit.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
If political leaders of state grovel
before the ballot frauds. exalt the bril-
Der and his tools, contemn the law and
break it sedulously, and If the very
governor of the State is the deliberate
obstacle to the removal from the stat
ute books of law which was enacted
for the purpose of corrupting elections
by the means of vile brutes lured into
the state by the payment Of hire for
their criminal work. what wonder if
respect for law falls?
No community is safe until obedi-
ence to authority becomes feeling and

the hearts of men as plainly as I'm the

MANY INJURED IN
ELEVATORS FALL
Twenty-three Have Narrow
Escape From Death in
Allegheny
THE CAR WAS OVERCRONDED

Pittsburg. June 30.-The breaking
OF a shaft on the first floor of the II.
J. Heinz Company's plant, in Allie
gheny, released the ropes supporting
large freight elevator on which %
persons were crowded. The cage fell
from the fifth floor into the cellar, a
distance of As feet and every one on
the elevator was injured. 1t is thought
that at least two will die.
The most seriously injured are:
John Churney, Allegheny. both legs
broken, will likely die; Mrs. Edward
Holman, Mt. Hope. N. j.. injury to
spine; will probably die; Joseph Web
or, Allegheny, both legs broken, condi-
tion serious. Many of the injured are
Cleveland sightseers.
When the accident occurred the ele-
vator was evidently overcrowded. Ac-
cording to what was told by DR.. j. S.
Phillips, physician at the plant, the
antics Of two men on the elevator,
who we're intoxicated, caused the dis
aster. Dr. Phillips says the two men
crowded on the car after being told
by the operator to stay off. Once on
they con1nenced jumping, with the
result that the shaft snapped and left
the elevator without control
According to the story told by Will
liam Koncano. a dry goods merchant
Of Cleveland, at the hospital there was
no disorder in the crowd.
81 thought there were too many on
the car" he said. when l saw how
crowded we were. and as soon as the
car left the fifth floor I am certain
every one realized that something had

the elevator was slipping. There was
not a sound or a cry uttered by any
one until we landed in a heap in the
cellar"
