est good to the greatest
number. The stock law is
no exception to this rule. And
the man who wi11fu11y violates
it because it suits his Individual
convenience to do so, is acting on
the same principles as the thief
and gambler whoply their trades
because it suits them, without
regard to the welfare of others.
1t is true that in every commun-
ity there are conditions that re-
quire leniency. Anyone, who is
doing his best to provide for his
children, is not criminal if he
takes another's bread tokeep his
children from starving, but the
man who will take it because he
can, is no better than the fellow
who will willfully violate the stock
law, because he can.
A friend to some people has
sometimes a very unpleasant
duty to perform-to tell them
their fau1ts-so they may see
themselves as others see them,
that they may profit by the in

NEGRO SEVERELY BATTED
BY A FIERCE CHICAGO MOB.
Under Fire of Bricks and Stones
Rescued the Black Murderer From a
Mob that was Bent on Lyncfing.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Uuder a fire
of bricks and stones, policemen
last night rescued a negro murd-
erer from a mob of would-be
lynchers.
Ten minutes before, Jno. Brink
ley, a colored Waterman, had
shot and killed, Chas. Mccarthy,
a p1asterer. Then breaking in
to the doorway of his own daugh-
ters, he held crowd of 200 men
and boys at bay until unarmed
by policeman Mooney.
Mooney opened the door and
took his prisoner into the office
of the tile factory, in which
Brinkley was employed, to await
the patrol wagon. But as he did
so the crowd surged forward
once more, with cries of Lynch
him! Lynch him! Get a rope!"
The policeman tried in vain to
close the door on the crowd and
keep it closed, but, even wit b
the assistance of the now terri
fed murderer, it was useless.
While Mooney was thus strugg-
ling, BrinkleY turned and fled
from the Office by the rear door.
The mob saw the escape, and
headed by Mooney, streamed
down an alley in pursuit. The
negro ran several blocks before
he was finally overtaken. A
teamster began 1ashing the negro
across the faces with his whip,
the victim being held by dozen
men and boys.
While the mob was trying t.
drag the murderer away, patrol
wagon arrived with three police
men, who, together with Mooney
fought their way through the
struggling mass of men, while
bricks and stones rained on them
from every side.
At the police station, Brink1eJ
tainted from terror, and wher
he revived he begged to be pu-
in a cell where no mob could ge
at him. The killing grew out O.
quarrel, in which Mccarthy
had accused Brink1ey of stealing
chickens from his premises.

United States Ships Clear For Action

Written for the Enterprise.

Conformity to law is the high
est test of good citizenship. Vic
lation of law is the cause of the
expense of maintaining criminal
courts, jails, prisons and chain
gangs. A good citizen will not
wlllfully cause expense to the
nation, state Or municipality. A
man who violates any law, accord
ing to scripture, is just as guilty
as if he violated the whole code.
Christians are enjoined to obey
all laws. A good Christian, there
fore, will not Intentionally violate
any law. Any man who wi11ful1y
violates the law of state or CITY
offers an insult to the com mon
wealth.
The stock law or ordinance is
being violated. Stocks running
at large in some parts of the city
just as it did before passage of
the ordinance. 1t is said that
the reason is, that there is no
pound master to take it up. Is
a thief justifab1e in stealing be-
cause there is no officer to appre-
bend him? The principle is the
the same. If every citizen would
obey the law there would be no
necessity for the expense of
pound and pound-master. Laws

COTTON CAN CONTROL
Foreign Consu1s Have Advised
American Marines Not to
Land Unless Circurn-
stances Warrant

Berlin, Sept. "a delayed dis
patchfrom Constantinop1e to The
Lskal Anzeiger, which sometimes
prints official news, says:
Telegraphic consular reports
received here today (Monday)
say that the murderof Christians
in different parts of Beirut con-
tinues. Disorder prevails and
traffic is destroyed.
At meeting of the consular
corps it has been decided to ask
for the recall of the vail, Recyard
Bey, and to place him by the vail
of Syria.
The consuls called on Rear
Admiral Cotton for eventual pro-
lection of the foreign consu1ates
which he agreed to furnish, 1t
is considered that the Americans
could land 500 men. Some Amer
leans, it is believed, have already
landed.
The American ships are clear
ed for action. Other warships
are expected.
The German foreign office ap-
proves of Admiral Cotton's inteR-
ton to land a guard to protect
the United States consulate at
Beirut, if necessary, and of his
holding a landing party in readi-
ness to protect the foreigners
there.
The officials here say this
would be just what the Germans
would do under thesame circum-
stances.
Nevertheless the feeling in Of
fetal quarters over the American
ships off Beirut seems to be that
it complexities the Turkish situa-
ton, because" it is asserted,
"a new element has been brought
in which acts independently of
the powers, now that the pres
sure of the powers is more or
less coordinate and the porte may
knew what to expect. But the
American action is not easily cal
eu1ated and will tend to excite the
Turkish government and add to
the perplexities.
Several of the German news
papers, while rather restrained
in their language, look with dis
gust on the presence of the
American warships at Beirut as
likely to disturb the Mussul-
mans. Other papers, however,
say it is not fair to ascribe it to the
arrival of the Americans. The
Tageblatt says Admiral Cotton
is cautious and reliable COM
mander and not headstrong, and
compliments the tone of his re-
ports to Washington.
