signed to make just such people tired.
Ii there is such thing as conscience
in the Republican party In Indiana the
Sentinel proposes to rouse it to the aw-
full disgrace of the course of Indiana
Republicans in shielding refugees from
justice in Kentucky, charged with com
plicity in the crime of assassinating
the governor of that state. There is
not such another case of violation
OF the constitution of the United
States, the constitution of the State
and the oaths of Office of our
governors as this. And it has been
absolutely without excuse without
any motive except political bias. The
only line of defense is that above-that
Goebel ought to have been assassinated
and that any judge who presides over a
court that convicts his assassins is g
scoundrel.
This apologist further assures us
that with $4,000 it can be proven in
Cantrell's court" that anybody mur-
dered Goebel. By whose testimony
There has been nothing proven in any
of the cases thus far by any Democrat
except open and notorious facts that
nobody disputes. Every particle OF
testimony duplicating the accused
comes from Experimentation Repub-
lican officeholders and chosen friends
of Taylor and other officials in control
OF the blind from which Goebel was
shot. From what we have seen of the
case we should imagine that any one
of the gang would swear to anything to
save his hide--it seems to be Ken
tucky Republican characteristic.
Finally this apologist says: II per-
sonally knew Goebel and knew
Cantrell, and know them to be un-
deserving in every sense of the
word" He then signs "A Kentucky
Democrat" What valuable testimony

A Test of COWardice.

"War is no longer a test of courage,
but of cowardice." This was said by
Miss Jane Addams last Sunday in the
course of an address before the Ethical
Culture Society of Chicago.
There is truth in the declaration.
Some years ago an English statesman
replying in tho House of Lords to a
taunt from the opposition that the
government was making war on a
feeble, helpless people, replied that
that was the modern rule. No gov
ernment he said would like to attack q
power equal to itself And he sneered
at the more chivalrous view as mere
sentimentality.
Miss Adams saw moral courage in
policy of peace. "By maintaining
immense armaments the nations oil
the world show their physical fear OF
each other. 1t would take more cour-
age to abandon war at present than to
keep it up, and the nation that first
advocates giving it up altogether will
be entitled to be termed the most
courageous country in the world"
Dueling between individual men dis
appeared when this moral courage
was displayed, and dueling among
nations may go on until the national
copscience is aroused and some gov
ernment backed by overwhelming pub
lie sentiment declines a challenge
Miss Addams thinks this cannot Ions
be postponed, since the poorer classes
the workers who are relied upon fo
the sinews and blood OF war, are be
ginning to oppose 1t. This, she is in
formed, was really at the bottom o
the Czar's Hague proposals.
Be this as it may, a beginning wa
made at the peace conference, ant
there is no doubt that the peace senti
ment is gathering strength with thu
progress of democracy. Post Dispatch
