WORDS oE WISDOM.

Regarding the disturbances at
Springfield. Ohio. which have grown
out Of the recent lynching of colored
murderer, the New York Tribune ut
ters soma words Of real wisdom, to
which we shall endeavor to add some
other words OF wisdom. Read this
from the Tribune:
The lynching seems to have been the
result OF the feeling that there was a
worthless negro population in the town
which ought to be cleaned out" II
lawlessness did prevail in the negro
quarter, It was simply because the
white people themselves had beT long
content to have It so, and permitted a
municipal government under which
gambling and disorder fourished.
There is not a town in Ohio or any
other Northern State where the whites,
IL they were really anxious for good
government, could not secure It both
for the negro quarter and their own
Tho trouble is that through their own
bad citizenship they let the dives grow
up, and then try to suppress them by
worse citizenship In the form Of ar
incendiary mob, The lesson, OF course
is plain. The way to have law and
order Is to have law and order. When
a city gives Itself over 10 corrupt poll
ticians and "wide openness." of course
IL invites the presence of worthless
characters. suffers from theft and muir
der. finds IL government too ineni-
Client to punish crime. much less pre-
vent IL. and in the end is REDUCED to
anarchy.
Now let us apply this logic to the
problems arising in our own commun-
ity. We said recently that II we have
a negro problem It is Of our own manu-
facmre. We say also that II there is O
spirit OF lawlessnessam among the negroes
the whites are partly responsible
Right here in the state Of Delawar,
there are enough white men to have
any sort of government they want
They can have peace and order II the,
really desire II. II all lawlessness wal
sternly checked. Il all crime wer
speedily punished, all that we shoul,
have TO anticipate would be an occa
sional and isolated case Of crime
1t is said that in our rural com
munities many Of the negroes have be
come worthless, impudent and read.
to commit all sorts of misdemeanors
II so, Il is because the white rae
countenaaces or tolerates such things
The dimculty is that there are to
many persons whose views and senu
ments are colored by visions OF result
at the ballot-box.

REASONS FOR BEING A CHRISTIAN
The Rev. J. Twin Orr Gave Six Last
Evening.

The Rev. ]. Alvin Orr spoke in the
United Presbyterian Church last night on
''Nhy Should Man be a Christian" He
gave six reasons
1-Out OF a sense OF fairness. All we
receive Of fair ideals and noble life Is
out OF the teachings OF Christ and his
life. Thus out Of fairness We ought to
make some returns to him and to help
to open the way to others.
2-Without receiving and confessing
Christ there is no other way Of receiving
forgiveness for our sins.
3-Because It is the best life and puts
man at his best. and is confessedly the
best way.
i--Without becoming a Chri istian man
cannot keep the commandments Of God.
II you break one law YOU are guilty OF
breaking them al. No man lives who has
not broken many OF Gods laws.
5-Unloss we confess Jesus Christ II
may be that Gods spirit will be removed
from u.s.
6--'rhe greatest reason OF all why man
should become a Christian is because Of
Gods law. We have never half fataom-
ed Gods love. Jesus Christ is Gods mes
sage to us.
This evening at o'clock the Rev. r. A.
Elwood viii speak.

fed with ourselves and our easy op-
timism. But once in a while somebody
hurls a bunch OF statistics at our head
that gives US a momsntary spasm OF
doubt
For instance. what are we going tc
do with this--nearly ten thousand per-
sons in the United states last year
were done to death by their fellow men

men? Think Of IT, Ten thousand
murders or homicidesl OF this number
there we're lo4 lynchings. Delaware con-
tributing one.
But the most alarming feature is that
the figures are growing larger every
year. In 1901 there were 1852 murders
and no lynchings. So we see that the
latter industry has marvellously de-
veloped in two years. So there were
over two thousand illegal-killings more
in 1903 than in 1901. So. after all, are
we growing better?

A TlekIIsh ouestlon settIed.

From the New York World.
The meetings of Count Cassini. the
Russian Ambassador. and MI. Taxa
hira, the Minister from Japan, at the
State Department, and their endeav-
ors to be polite to each other, remind
ed an official who was mt a foreign
court during the war with Spain Of
his similar experience. He said:
AT the outbreak of the war I di-
rected a note to Spain's representative
suggesting that we decide what we
should do when forced to meet each
other. AS meetings would be newt
able, 1 urged him to advise me imme-
dlately what form of greeting he de-
sired to have pass between us, If we
were TO greet each other at all.
THE distinguished representative Of
Spain thought the question one of
great moment and referred 1t to the
Dean of the Diplomatic Corps. In a
few days / received note from the
distinguished representative making an
appointment TO meet me. He was very
proud Of his English. and always in
sisted on addressing me in my own
tongue
After making many profound bows
and wishing me well he made known
his wish as follows:
To dig a hole In a grassy field and set
we bow ourselves when we meet, but
not speak ourselves.

or less attention during the pass sew

testify IN the case charging this Bor-
gia with tho murder OF two OF Della
wares estlmablo women. The evidence
was conclusive, and the woman was
convicted
Time elapses. and then the inevitable
flaw is discovered. A new trial is or
dered. and the Delaware witnesses re-
iuctantly prepare for the second jour
ney TO the Pacific. 1t means a sacri-
fee to most Of them-partlcularly to
the experts.
Now after everything has been ar
ranged, representative OF the Cali
fornia prosecuting officer arrives on the
scene. He comes without any author
ity. and is not prepared TO arrange for
the transportation OF witnesses. The
trial Is set TO begin In ten days. and
yet the witnesses are left In doubt as
to whether or not they are to go. Nat
uraily they cannot start on the Journey
on a moments notice, and they are
getting tired Of delays and annoyances
that seem unnecessary.
