many Of them, but it really seems as
If the country might have been spared
such riot of savagery and slawless-
ness as was witnessed yesterday at
Statesboro. Ca, where two negroes
were burned at the stake-barbecued
under the torture of kerosene drip
pings, to make the process more bar
barous and terrible.
These negroes had been legally
tried for a brutal murder and found
guilty and were awaiting the order
for execution. Not satisfied with the
process of the law, several hundred
citizens overpowered the militia COM
pany on guard and held them pr1s-
oners; wrested the condemned men
from the authorities and then gloated
like hungry cannibals over the afro
cious triumph of mob law. Georgia
has a better record for maintaining
the majesty Of the law than have
most of the southern states, but this
Statesboro case presents most aggra-
waiting features.
Spectacles of lawlessness like this
are, unfortunately, not unknown or
rare in, the annals of American crime.
They represent the more savage and
ferocious side of lawlessness, which,
unfortunately. crops out in our cities
and large towns in a more or less
offensive form.
The Statesboro scene reveals the
tendency Of lawlessness- to progress
in crime. No man can tell where ne

MINNESOTA POLITICS

Argument Advanced Against Representa-
commlttee-Leadne Democrat Favors
Nomination Of Brown and Lovely for
Supreme Bench. b
The Lanesboro Leader, a strong Dunn
paper, takes the position that the state
conventions Endorsement Of Senator Clapp
mas no binding authority on the party or
on the legislature, and that 1t is Unfair
for him to be given special representa-
ton on the state committee. Says the
Leader:
To assume, as the senator evidently does, that
1t is part Of the duty of the republican state
central, committee to lay wires to secure the
election of members Of the legislature who VIII
vote for his reelection and that he has "a
right to name personal representative on the
committee to sec that this Is done, Is to assume
entirely too much. 1t is unfair to Mr.. Gilillan,
who Is already candidate for the senate, to put
the party machinery at the disposal of his rival.
1t is not impossible that when the legislature
meets the first district may again present the
name of Mr.. Tawney for the senatorial office;
Mr.. McCleary's friends in the second district
may again urge his claims; Mr. Lowry may be
candidate in 1905, as he was in 1901, and
there are others who may aspire to the position
of senator, and who have the right to urge
the election Of representatives, favorable to them
and to demand that the state central committee
shall not use its influence or the FUNDS at its
disposal to their disadvantage. More than all
the people themselves have right to demand
an opportunity to express their views without
official interference, and to say to the state
central committee, Glands off,"

democrats from its own ranks.
For the two democrats the names of L.

Interviews with st. Paul saloonkeepers
develop a great deal Of admiration in that
quarter for Bishop Potter. This is Gals
culated to do the bishop good deal Of
harm and may work an injustice tempor-

not, nobody believes that he associated
himself with the Subway tavern for any;
other than good purpose; nobody be-

saloon business or that he would pur-:

Polish citizens of Minneapolis have

The statements repudiating him are

An Acknowled

Never before during any equal
period of it's history has h e GU r.
n al received as much valuable and
profitable advertising as it has had
since the republican state convention.
1t is true that those who have given
this paper a great deal of prominence
In their columns have, not done it with
a viw to advancing the interests of
the paper, but the result has been
none the less to our advantage.
independence is virtue which
most newspapers assume; it seldom
happens, however that the possession
of it is so persistently asserted of any
one as has been charged in the case
of T he Journal during the past
six weeks by a large section Of the
press of this state.
A supporter Of the state and nation
al administrations in all material
points and thoroly in sympathy with
republican principles, T he Jour-
a has never desired to be regarded
as republican organ. It has always
jealousy maintained the custody Of its
own opinions and formed its own es-
or low. But when the republican
state convention, controlled by in
fiuences which threaten the future of
the republican party in this state,
placed in nomination for governor one
whose official record will not bear in
spection, and T h, e J n a |, in the
exercise Of that independence which
all reputable newspapers profess, saw
fit to withhold it's support, this action
became at once the subject of more
comment than anything which has
happened in newspaper circles in this
state for many, a day. The refusal Of
The j o urnal to surrender it's
convictions and abandon judgment
formed only after thoro acquaintance
with and careful consideration Of the
facts, has been given a degree of
prominence by a certain element Of
the state press which argues well for
the measure Of Importance which they
attach to The Journals attitude
toward men and measures and far be-
You'd that to which our own modesty
would have permitted us to lay claim.
The most prominent fact since the
convention in the columns of the
Dunn press has been the independence
of The Minneapolis Journal it's re-
fusal to indorse a serious party mis-
take and it's courage to stand alone, if
need be, in dignifed protest against it.
For this not only unsolicited but al
most involuntary testimonial to the
fact that nobody has a string on The
Minneapolis Journal, many thanks,
gentlemen Of the Dunn contingent.
You have our full permission to con-
tinue just as vigorously and just as
long as you please to emphasize the
fact that T he urnal is actual
ly an independent republican news
paper.
We have not spoken Of this matter
before because it was feared that to
do so might, somehow, discourage the
good work; but we hope that those
who have expressed themselves so
warmly in the manner indicated may
not be disposed to disavow what they
have said.
