An Awful Below.

New York World tDem.).j
AS an old and successful campaign
manager, Judge Parker has good rea-
son to be dissatisfied with the do
nothing policy that has thus far char
acterized the committees in charge
of his candidacy.
Chairman Taggart's appreciation
of the moral effect of majorities in
the September elections is given in
his statement yesterday that the
Democrats of Maine and Vermont viii
receive no help from the National
committee eve might send one or
two speakers into the woods to try
their voices on the vacationists,' SAID
Mr., Taggart, "just to get them i'll

fall" 49,
If this grade Of intelligence is to
govern and guide the Democratic
campaign, it is not strange that Pres
ident Roosevelt is confident of his
election. The State committee is
either fast asleep or "gum-shoeing"
so softly that it will never make up
the Democratic voters.
If the National, State and city or
CARNATIONS are not speedily brought
into unison and made to start at
once an intelligent, aggressive, active
campaign, the result will be endan-
cred before the battle is fairly be-
gun.

Heads In Shame.
The Times-Dispatch. Richmond, Va,
says:
at makes every chivalrous South
err man hang his head with shame.
1t has ever been our boast that this
paper is intensely Southern in all its
views. We, understand the negro
question in the South. We know how
brutal some negroes are, and we can
understand how Southern whites may
be wrought up to the pitch of fury
by negro outrages. But we will not
stand for such savagery as that in
which the people Of this Georgia set
tlement have INDUCED in; nor will
the white men of the South generally
stand for it. 1t will be denounced
by all decent men and newspapers,
and the South should not be held re-
sponsible for it, nor be made to suf-
fer for it.
"As if to add to the disgrace Of this
most disgraceful affair the soldiers
who We're present to guard the pris-
oners we're armed with unloaded
guns.

he burning of two negroes in

is calculated to- shake faith in popu-
B lar government. The negroes may
H have deserved nothing better, but the
white people deserved something bet

mordial savagery of the people was

3ssiss 70 man can fail to appreciate the
desire Of the friends and neighbors
of the Hodges family to speedily and
summary ayenge the horrible crime
of which the two negroes, Cato and
Reed, We're guilty. The annals of
crime tell of no more terrible affair
than the wanton butchery of that en-
tire family. The speedy punishment
of the two principals was no miscar-
Sriage of justice, but it should have
been left for the law to do the avepg-
There was, however, a serious MS
carriage in Justice in another direc-
ton. The circum stantial evidence
and the confessions of the two prin-
;cipals$ showed that the crime was the
work Of "a number of neSroes-that
Cato and Reed had accomplices. The
only tangible evidence against these
other men was the testimony the two
principals would have given. Every
negro who was in that horrible plot
should have been convicted and pun
Ished. In its unreasoning desire to
saflIct summary punishment upon the
principals the mob defeated the
