HARD TO PLEASE.

COME PEOPLE are very hard 70
y please, There's General Rennen-
kampff. for instance. Lying on his
back in hospital, suffering FROM
wounds inflicted by japanese marks
men, General RenneHkampH calmly
criticised the japanese for their poor
shooting, He said, among other unkind
things. that they depended more upon
quantity than upon quality. that they
are overslOw ana cautious. and a few
other gentle remarks along that lire.
Rennenkampff was shot while recon-
noitering a japanese position. As he
is a general. and despite the fact that
he is considered one OF the most gallant
of all the Russian generals, it is not
at all likely that he was very close to
the japanese. Nevertheless. he was
severely wounded. Are We TO under
stand now that in order TO wound Rem
nenkampa the Japs fred volley at
him? Isn't it more reasonable to sup
pose he was picked of by a sharp
shooter? And isn't he just tri8e IN
reasonable TO be indignant because he
was not killed or more severely wound
ed?
1t is barely possible that the Japan
csc didn't want to kill Rennenkampff,
that they merely wanted TO sting him
up a little. In any event, instead of
kicking because he's alive, the general
should be thanking his stars for that
he wasn't slain. AS to his other crit
icism, that the japanese are lacking in
dash and willingness to take chances,
the record speaks better than anything
else Were the Japs lacking in dash
and bravery at Nan Shan hill? In the
naval Engagements of Port Arthur did
they manifest any degree of coward
ice2 Have they not shown throughout
the war that they have the qualities Of
courage and daring developed in the
highest possible degree2
The Russians are not going to win
victories in this war by lying on hos
pital cots, in both senses of the word,
On land and on sea the little brown
men have shown their superiority. In
every engagement of moment the Japs
have been victorious. That they will
capture Port Arthur within the next
few weeks seems well within the range
Of proba bility and when Port Arthur
falls the backbone of Russian resistance
in Manchuria win have been broken
If the Russians are wise they viii say
very little and work a great deal during
the next few months.

SOUTH AeAINsr LYNcHIEe.

IT IS TO BE HOPED that the news
1 papers Of the country, especially
the newspapers that seemingly take
pleasure in calling attention to the i'll
treatment OF negroes in the south. viii
give due prominence to the announce
ment that a grand jury at Danville,
Va has just Indicted eighteen prom
inent citizens" who aided in lynching
a, negro. BY this action Tie grand jury
has shown that in Virginia lynching
Is discountenanced and law is upheld
It would be too much to require a
guarantee that the indicted citizens
will be convicted and sent TO prison.
one can never tell what a jury viii
do. But the fact remains that the in
dictments have been returned. The
further proceedings are in the hands
OF the courts.
Tie indictments are a long progress
slve step. Time was when il was
thought to be impossible 10 make the
least bit Of trouble for men who
lynched negroes. We have been led to
believe that it was thought the part of
good citizenship to Join mObs on occa-
sion. TO pull at the rope il necessary,
even 10 apply the torch 10 the fagots
under the doomed wretch. Now we are
informed that i'm the south a different
view OF TIE matter is taken. Members
of a mob are Iooked.Upon as cowardIy
criminals, as. indeed they are coward
~ criminals such men are to be made
to understand that they viii not be
permitted to do collectively what none
OF them would be willing to do individ-
uaIly-
Virginia is not the only southern
state in which steps TO prevent lynch
mgs have been taken. In Tennessee
some months ago, twenty-seven citi-
zens were indicted for their part in
the lynching of a negro at LynchbuFg
The governor Of South Carolina, Hey
ward, suggested in a recent message
TO the legislature. enactments which,
II conscientiousIy carried out, would
almost certainly put a stop to the
lynehing evil Governor Vardaman Of
Mississippi, elected on a platform so
violently snti-negTo that many negroes
thought seriously OF moving away
from the state. has been more eneT-
getic in the prevention of iynehings
than any OF his predecessors All of
this looks as Il the south liked lynch
ing as little as any Of the northern
states.
And while We are on the subject it
is proper 10 remind the public that
there have been iynehings not 50 long
ago in the north. AS far as our OBJ
servatiOn goes none OF the lynchers
has been punished Wouldn't it be
good idea to at least indict some OF
them?
