PRESENT UPRISING

Soma, Aug. 11.-"Nothing can end
the present revolution in Macedonia
until our national aspirations are sat
isf1ed or those fighting to attain them
are exterminated.'
This was the concluding statement
made to the correspondent of the As
sociated Press who is investigating the
situation in Macedonia, by the Mace
donian commission at the revolution
ary headquarters here.
Boris Sarahoff, the head and front
of the movement. is with the insur-
gents in Macedonia. His representa-
tives here believe that the desired re-
suits will be gained through the pres
ent movement.
THE object of the rising" said the
Macedonian committee, ''is to win re-
form which will assure the Christian
people of Macedonia security for their
lives and property, and the right to
participate in the administration of

ROOSEVELT DENOUNCES LYNCH
LAW AS DANGEROUS ANARCHY

bringing the criminal to justice, is
itself objectionable.
Men who have been guilty Of
crime like rape or murder should be
visited with swift and certain punish
ment, and the just effort made by the
courts to protect them in their rights
should under no circumstances be per-
veIted into permitting any mere tech
nicality to avert or delay their punish
ment
But the fullest recognition of the
horror of the crime and the most COM
plete lack of sympathy with the Grim
inal cannot in the least diminish the
horror at the way in which it has been
customary to avenge these crimes and
at the consequences that are already
proceeding therefrom.
In recent cases Of lynching over
three-fourths were not for rape at all.
but for murder. attempted murder and
even less heiEous offenses.
Moreover, the history of these re-
cent cases shows the awful fact that
when the minds of men are habituated
to the use of torture by lawless bodies
to avenge crimes of peculiarly revolt
ing description, other lawless bodies
will use torture in order to punish
crimes of an ordinary type.
Surely no patriot can fail to see the
fearful EQUALIZATION and debasement
which the indulgence of such spirit
and such practices inevitably portend.
Surely all public men, all writers for
the daily press, all clergymsn, all
teachers, all who in any way have
right to address the public. should
with every energy unite to denounce
such crimes and to support those en-
gagged in putting them down.
THE cornerstone of this Republic. as
Of all free governments. is respect for
and obedience to the law. Where we
permit the law to be defied or evaded.
whether by rich man or poor man.
black man or white man. we are by
just so much weakening the bonds of
our civilization and increasing the
chances of its overthrow. and of the
substitution therefor of system in
which there shall be violent alterna-
tions Of anarchy and tyranny.
Sincerely yours.

Poll Tax Must Be Paid.

Seventy thousand male voters in
Colorado have neglected to pay their
poll tax and unless they come up and
pay the assessments of 81 each. 1t is
likely that the jails in the different
counties will have to be enlarged to
hold the debtors, says the Denver Re-
publican of August 7th.
Adj. Gen. Sherman Bell announced
yesterday that he should demand a
strict collection of the military tax of
81 each for each male voter in the
state. In the past years he says the
collection has been matter of poll
tics among many county officers and
no efforts have been made to collect
the money.
For this reason he is preparing a
letter to the county assessors which
he will send by registered mail in Or
der to insure it's receipt. In this let
ter he demands that the law be en-
forced, and says that If the amount
isn't forthcoming soon he will cause
wholesale arrests of those who either
will not pay or who think they can
not, and that he will keep them in jail
until the amount, with costs, is paid.
Under the law he is able to do this,
and he announces that he will carry
out the provisions Of the statute with
out fear or favor and that all, from the
highest to the lowest, will stand good
chance of spending some time in jail
If they do not pay the tax which al
though small at the present time, will,
if forcible collection is required,
amount to at least $25.
The changes made necessary under
the Dick militia bill and the strike at
Colorado City has been an enormous
drain on the military fund, SO that the
authorities find themselves with a
small amount of money on hand, and
are determined to add to it by collect;
ing the $4,000 due from the people
OF Colorado.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. lin 4 let
ter. the publication of which was au-
thorized to-day, President Roosevelt
commends Governor Durbin of Indiana
for the attitude he assumed recently re-
specting lynching. The Presidents let
ter is, in part. as follows:
Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 6, 1903.
my Dear Governor Durbin: Permit
me to thank you as an American citi-
zen for the way in which you have
vindicated the majesty of the law by
your recent action in reference to
lynching.
Men must feel the gravest alarm
over the growth of lynching in this
country, and especially over the Pc
culiarly hide0us forms SO often taken
by mob violence, when colored men are
the victims, on which occasions the
mob seems to lay most weight, not on
the crime, but on the color of the Grim
inal. In q portion of these cases the
man lynched has been guilty of
crime horrible beyond description;
crime SO horrible that as far as he
himself is concerned he has forfeited
the right to any kind Of sympathy
whatsoever.
Inc leellnS OF HI SoOu cltlZenS tnatj
such hideous crime shall not be hide
ously punished is due not in the least
to sympathy for the criminal, but to
very lively sense of the train of dread
full consequences which follows the
course taken by the mob in exacting
inhuman vengeance for an inhuman
wrong. In such cases, moreover, it is
well to remember that the criminal not
merely sins against humanity in un-
pardonable fashion, but sins particu-
larly against his own race and does
them wrong far greater than any
white man can possibly do them.
Therefore in such cases the colored
people throughout the land should in
every possible way show their belief
that they, more than all others in the
community, are Mortified at the COM
mission of such a crime and are pecul-
iarly concerned In taking every possi-
BILE measure to prevent its recurrence
and to bring the criminal to immediate
justice. The slightest lack of vigor, Ell
