Wherever the Baltimore Sun is read
and known the announcement in it's
issue OF February 20 OF the death of
Edwin F. Abel was taken as one of
the most distressing facts in connec-
tion with the heavy losses which Bal
timore has sustained. The buildings
which disappeared in flames will be
replaced by handsomer ones. The
business interrupted will be resumed
upon larger scale. But there can
not be another warm-hearted, gener-
Gus, public-spirited Edwin +. Abel.
Devoted to the interests of his native
city and with his affections centered
in the newspaper which has wrought
so signally for the city's advance
ment, he could not survive the great
disaster which had involved in its
destruction the establishment to
which he had given more than forty
of the best years of his life The shock
of the fire was too severe for his con-

In a pleasant personal letter. Mr..
Thomas r. Jernigan, a soiourner-as
is seen-in Shanghai, China, where he
was formerly United States consul
general, chides The Observer for re-
ferring to him as "a former North
Carolinian; "fOr,'' he writes, 81 have
no other home but my own State,
and have never felt that WANTED any
other. Iii all my wanderings over the
world" he continues. ''North Caro-
lima have found the best place, and
our people as good as can be found
in the world" Mr.. Jernigan wrote
on February 4th, and the following
passage occurs in his letter:
Sat this date war seems imminent be-
tween Russia and Japan. If the latter
should lose she will pass out OF history as
first-class Asiatic power, which would
be setback to civilization in Asia.
hope our country will keep out OF the
trouble. but the success of Russia will
seriously impair our trade in North
China"
Mr.. Jernigan has for many years
been a close observer and diligent
student of problems and affairs in the
East. 1t is interesting to know that
his view of an issue of the war ad
verse to Japan is the view also OF the
majority opinion of this country.

Faults of the Law.
Elm City Elevator

Elm City Elevator.
Oh, law, what grave injustice is
done in thy name.
Time was when the law did arouse
fear in the hearts of evil dOers and
cause even the most sordid minded to
compute it's reckoning in the cost Of
their action. Then the wisdom of the
seer had not reached the practitioners
and their chief aim was not to evade
the law; rather was their purpose to
bring the criminal to punishment.
Now the practice of law has dwin-
died down to the fine point of finding
| technical excuses for setting criminals
free The great criminal lawyer Of
today is the man who through any
technicality Of the law manages to
get most criminals free, not the one
who delivers the greatest number of
evil doors to justice.
The troubles found mainly in three
places: The absence of a proper
healthy sentiment among the citizen
ship, the jury system and the super
abundance of technical law.
A revolving crime is committed and
the section in which it occurs is
wrought up to fever heat-the hot
headed ones talking of lynching and
even the most conservative giving
utterance to strong denunciatiOn OF
both the crime and the shortcomings
of the law. When the time for the
trial comes on, public Indignation
has simmered down and it is an easy
matter for the attorneys to get the
casepostponed. Again the case comes
up and the county is secured to find
the twelve men who know the least
about the matter, public interest has
been transferred to some other start
ling affair, and it is an easy thing fOl
. the defendants counsel to secure ac
, quittal on some insignificant point
, of law, for the lawyers make the laws
, the lawyers execute the laws, and the
{ lawyers generally manage to evadt
the laws for their client, it matters
, not whether that client is an innocent
man caught in the meshes OF a chair
oi circumstantial evidence or deeI
dved villain who has already con
fessed his crime.
1t is a true saying that no one cal
foretell the verdict of a jury in an,
+ case. Then why not revise the iur,
+ system? If the plan which has 81
: many times been weighed in the bal
ances is always found wanting VIII.
not throw it out and devise anothe
y system?

HENDERSON N. c., THURSDAY MARCH "a, 1904.

all who were opposed to the Tillman
movement were enemies, moccasins,
dogs, for all these epithets were used
by their leader. 1t was publicly
taught that negro had no political
rights that white man was bound
to respect. Lynching was the proper
punishment for one certain crime and
when done for a misdemeanOr, or for
no crime, the perpetrators were not
punished.
''It was only one step from killing
a negro to killing a white man. So it
has come to pass in most logical
way that white men are shot down
with impunity these days.
''It has got to be that there is not
much respect for color in the killing
business. All one has to prove or
swear to is that some one scOWled at
him, or that he had at some time
threatened him. Once sure of his wit
nesses, he may shoot.
"While the people are taught by
their leaders that it is no harm to
kill negro suspected Of crime, or a
white man who has made threats,
this homicide mania will not stop.
There are thousands of good, con-
servative people who do not believe
in it, but their voice is pOwerless
against the tide which has been set
rolling for the last ten years.
"Some of the jurors are always in
sympathy with this sentiment which
has led to the reckless taking OF life,
and it is impossible to find twelve
men who will convict for murder.
Especially is this the case when the
accused belongs to the party III con-
troll, and which has had much to do
in the election of Judges: Men who
are good and true under ordinary
circumstances cannot stand the pres
sure OF the church and partisan poll
tics when brought to bear in trials
for murder.
so South Carolina scored 22l
homicides last year. Our people have
been years working upt to that record
1t will be a decade or two before We
can retrace our steps and get back
on a high plane, where human life is
sacred and the man who takes il
wantOnly is considered Il felOn.
But just now, when one OF ou1
leading politicians breaches the shot
gun policy for negroes at every pub
lie meeting to which he is invited, il
this State and abroad, these hOmi
cides will continue. The old proverb
Like priest like people, is true il
politics. Like leaders like people il
as true as the other.
-"But South Carolina will rise ON
day and free herself from this charg
OF wanton killing. The disgrace doe
not attach to the State, but to thos
men of power and influence who hole
murderers up as honorable men, an'
, give them great Ovations when &C
quilted and elect them to high AM
: honorable Offices. Phe State OF SOutI
+ Carolina is not disgraced by tn
bloody record.'

The Other Side.
Thomasville Charity and Children.

We have a faint recollection of hav-
ingwritten on this subject before, but
it is so important that too much can
hardly be said about it, and every
now and then a fresh illustration i'm
presses it upon us. Some years ago
we remember to have referred in these
columns to the lowering OF public
morality as indicated by the election
of Mark Hanna to great and re-
sponsible Office. We thought he was
a monster, and his promotion in
public life was SO wicked that there
could be no improperly in calling
attention to it through the columns
of a journal that has no politics. We
believed what the newspapers said
about Mr.. Hanna, and felt called
upon to join in the general outcry
that was raised against him. Hardly
a man in public life, that we recall,
was so fiercely and persistently ex-
coriated and denounced. We watched
his course rather closely and were
surprised to see that he betrayed
none of the qualities of the brute that
we expected to see. He befriended
the laboring men, spoke gently and
we'll On public questions, showed wis:
dom and skill in the discussion of all
great matters of public concern, and
in his private life bore all the marks
of the gentleman and the scholar
Now that he is dead the papers that
reviled and abused him are filled with
praise and eulogy for the man they
bounded to his very grave. We are
sorry that we ever said a word re
flecting on Mr.. Hanna, who was one
OF the most honorable and able mel
of the day; and we hope we have
learned a good lesson from his life
He was patient under persecution
and uttered no word Of complaint
though Davenport marked him al
over with the sign of the dollar, ant
gave him face that would hav'
been much better suited to a robbie
or thug. We see the other side nov
but Mark Hanna is dead.

The River of Luck and the River 0i
Work.
Durham Sun

Durham Sun.
There's a river called Luck that
runs through our lives, but her flood
is sluggish and slow; and the treasure,
which by her false current arrives,
will never make much show. And the
man who sits down at her treacher-
Gus shore vainly hoping his fortune
to win, will wait till his locks are
frosty with hoar, for his ship will
never come in. But a far greater
river is the river of Work-on her
swelling and vigorous tide no place is
reserved for the drone or the shirk-
they must loiter and die by her side.
And the man who with confidence,
boI,lnr.s> and pluck embarks on her
affluent breast, will sail smoothly on
and catch up with his ''luck' by gen.
