FRIENDS OF PEACE
International Congress Does
Some Earnest Work

BOSTON, Mass, Oct A general
supplication, coupled with a demand
almost for the institution Of peace be-
tween the nations of the world was the
keynote today of the first deliberative
session of the thirteenth annual inter-
national peace congress. Delegates
from the great countries of the globe,
all prominent in their home lands, en-
gagged in the proceedings.
A feature was the receipt of an elab--
crate report from the international
peace bureau for 1904, in which was
reviewed what had been attained in the
direction OF peace by the peace work
ers of the world during the year pass
ed and also which set forth the pres
ent conditions of the world necessitat-
ing scorrectary measures by those de-
sirous of establishing universal, con-
cord. The suggestion was made that
collective move might be made to IN
duce the Russo-Japanese belligerents
to return TO peace.
Edward D. Mead, the chairman Of
the organization committee of the con-
gress. delivered the opening address of
the congress, speaking an earnest word
against the building of great navies
and for the general disarmament or
armies.
Robert Treat Paine Sr.. Of Boston,
was elected president of the congress,
and Benjamin Trueblood, Of Boston,
secretary. Responses were made by a
delegate from each of the countries
represented, including Aid. Thomas
Snipe. of Liverpool for Great Britain
Among the letters and cablegrams
received by the congress and answered
today were those from Frau Solendau,
of Munich, Germany; Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps Ward, Carl Sehurz, Frederick
Passey, of France, and DR.. Henry F..
Wirren, of Colorado. A noticeable
number of greetings was received from.
Baptist denominations and conferences
in various part of the country. includ-
ing Topeka, Kan; Pittsburg. Pa, and
the district of Columbia.

THE BULLET AND THE MOB

They have varied things little down
man. Tt does mot much matter what
his defense was, for the attendant cir
cunlstances are always about the same.
The militia got on the ground, as usual,
just too late to prevent the crime. One
lone policeman seems to have been on
guard over the prisoner, and he, the
dispatches say, was "overpewered."
Then the mob went in, took out their
man, killed him, dispersed and the
usual verdict was rendered and no ar
rests were made.
Now this only shows that the So
called Iynching problem is the sim
plest thing in The world. Back of 1t
there lies very little explanation in the
way of temperament. or race prejudice,
or alleged dilatoriness or uncertainty
in the law. 1t is simply an outbreak OF
the old instinct of the beast in man. 1t
grows by what it feeds upon, and it
will be checked just exactly as the saw
age impulse. to rob and murder is
checked, by swift and sudden exeeu-
ton and by nothing else.
One lynehing breeds dozen more.
The thirst Of the populace for excite
lnent. the terrible exhilaration that
comes with the thought of taking hui
man life drives people to a frenzy; and
lynehing soon becomes habit instead
of an incident. Just so our cities
would be overrun by footpads II the
thief knew that he had MOTTO fear the
summary vengeance of the law. AS he
is restrained by fear of consequences.
SO. will the lyncher be when there are
any consequences to fear
That one policeman down in South
Carolina, if he had possessed the neces-
sary courage and been armed with
proper Instructions, could have done
more to stop lynchings than all the
| governors and legislatures put togeth-
er, Undoubtedly he had revolver
and he should have seen to it that at
! least one member of the mob died for
| every bullet in it's chambers. The mob
| is the creature of non-resistanee. The
| Iyncher grows bold because lynehers
are not shot down as they ought to be.
/ North and South, among whites OF
blacks, without regard to section OF
race or any other consideration, lynch
! ing will pass out of existence just as
soon as it is positively known that nc
man can be executed without warrant
of law. until his legal defenders have
sold their lives as dearly as possible
by killing their ASSISTANTS. A few mer
would probably have to fall martyrs
to the cause, but the future benefits
would be incalculable. The bullet is the
only medicine for the mob. 1t is also
the only sure cure for the lynching
habit.

The attack was the elimination of a

NOT FOR DUNN

A lively effort is being made by the
advocates of Mr.. Dunn to draw to his
support the so-called Irish American
vote Everywhere men of Irish lineage
are being approached quietly and told
that all their compatriots are solid be-
hind Mr. Dunn, and asked to give him
their support. 1t is time that this de-
ception was exposed and the relation of
Mr.. Dunn to this portion of the cleo
torate was clearly stated.
Never before in all his long political
career has Mr.. Dunn shown himself
disposed to recognize any claim upon
him on account of his nationality. He
has stood aloof entirely from those to
whom he now caters because he de-
sires their support. There is in the
state of Minnesota a small army of
men who are proud Of their descent
from Irish stock, who love the interests
and the people of the land of their
birth and who are not unmoved, as are
few of us, by the strong tie Of COM
mon ancestry. These men are ready TO
give answering feaIty and they also
demand it. Before any one can estab-
lish a claim upon them by reason Of
this tie he must have felt and &C.
knowledged it himself. What evidence
ie- of hi nf II
Dunn until he became a candidate for
Office, and what other evidence is there
now except his solicitations for the IA
vor of support at the polls?
We think it clearly established that
Mr.. Dunn has not the slightest shadow
of claim upon the support of the So
called Irish Americans, and we know
that he is not going to get it. They owe
him nothing. He has not associated
with them, has not felt with them, has
not been one of them in any of the
senses that make them, with their
warm hearted impulsiveness, so strong
and great an element in our citizenship.
AS long as he did not need them he
stood apart and took pains to conceal,
rather than to proclaim this cennec-
ton. Now he is working it diligently
through certain emissaries everywhere
in last hope to bolster UP his failing
and fallen cause.
Those Americans of Irish descent
who have heretofore supported the Dem
ocratic party, and who believe in its
principles, win not be either deceived
or led away. One of their splendid
characteristics is loyalty to an idea and
ITO old associations. They are always
ready to lead forlorn hope, to die in
the last ditch if need be for cause
that has touched their hearts. They
have stood by the Democracy with un-
swerving loyalty through the dark days
when it had no hope of success. Who
ever else might falter or turn aside
when the tide Of battle went strongly
against the Democratic party, what
ever falling away there might be when
the vote was polled one could be sure
that those who had the blood Of Ire
land in their veins would be found fir
ing their last round cheerfully at the
front. facing calamity with smile and
a humorous word and anxious only fol
another tilt at the foe. 1t is not con-
ceivable that men like this should. in
the hour Of assured success. forfeit OF
overthrow all their political traditions
and all their race characteristics. They
are not going to be seduced from party

awHAr a BIC BOY ANA {"

Il n e G 10 repuDilSneS IN It's news
columns this morning little conpila-
ton that has been circulated in PAM
phlet form to some extent, and that
constitutes the most admirable cam
paign document yet put out. 1t places
Theodore Roosevelt ON the witness
stand, uses no word or syllable that is
not his own, and within the compass Of
a score o. paragraphs holds him up on
his own testimony at once to censure
and to ridicule.
The document, which will be read
with interest and amusement every
where and which ought to bring con-
viction to every open judgment, con-
sists entirely Of citations from five Of
the well KNOWN works of Theodore
Roosevelt. Unhappily for him, per-
haps, he was historian before he was
candidate, and his critical judgments
of men are upon record.
1t is a most remarkable fact that
these judgments upon former presi-
dents of the United States, some of
them certainly of the highest grade Of
intelligence and character that the re-
public has produced, are scathingly
and bitterly depreciatory. Glance down
the list and you cannot find word of
praise or even of discriminating cen
sure. Mr.. Roosevelt or any other his
torian might dissent violently from the
views of Thomas Jefferson and fail to
admire his character. But what of the
mental furnishings of any man who
could say of Jefferson that he was "the
most incapable executive who ever
filed the presidents chair?" Madison,
again, was incapable" Jackson, the
great Jackson, was Ignorant" and so
| on down the line until we come to
t Roosevelt himself.
The bulk of the comments upon
Theodore Roosevelt as contained in his
letter of acceptance about equals the
bulk Of the other comments taken to-
gether. but the sentiments expressed
are as far away as the antipodes. Ac-
cerding to him the government of this
country has never been administered
upon so high plane, with SO strong
and vivid an intelligence, with such a
nice and most scrupuious sense OF
honor. with such constructive states
nanship and with such honesty an6
purity of motive. Little Jack Homer
eating his Christmas pie!
The humorous aspect Of this con-
trast cannot fail to shake the sides OF
the soberest reader. Its serious side
though a little less obvious, is just as
strong. What are we to think Of the
Judgment of man who can see moth
/ ing but evil or ineff1ciency in the long
lime of his illustrious predecessors
nothing but splendor. and personal com
pleteness in himself? There is not only
an absence of modesty, but lack OF
balance about this which denotes the
man unfit to rule. One can learn more
of Theodore Roosevelt and his weak
nesses and failings from these few
paragraphs than from all the long list
of his works and the record of his adj
ministration combined.

What the Editors Say

-
The concluding aphorisms Of the
(Parker) letter should be made the
shibboleth of the campaign Democracy.
The aphorisms rise to the height of
genuine eloquence. It is the eloquence
of scholar, thinker and a reformer.
Judge Parker sinks the partisan in the
patriot and confidently appeals to all
with faith in, their rectitude as abso-
lutte as his conviction of their intel
lectual realization of the purity of his
own spirit and purpose His are noble,
simple, arouSing words, which should
find a response in the hearts and minds
of his eeuntrymen+Grand Forks
Press.
AS a political document the letter Of
Judge Parker is much stronger more
dignified and statesmanlike than that
of Roosevelt. On the subject of tariff
reduction, trust regulation, pensions
and Imperialism he is admirably DEM
ocratic, and his letter will set Demo-
cratic hearts to pulsating all over the
country His views on all national and
| International subjects are practical
considerate, progressive and just. In
short his letter shows that he is an
/ American who will be respected abroad
and be confided in and honored at
home.-Two Rivers (Wis.) Chronicle.

There is an odd character in this
play of Joseph Entangled," that
Charles Frohman is producing at the
Metropolitan opera house, with Henry
Miller as the star. The character is
called in the play "a man Of the
world" who rejoices to boast that he
always got along well in the world
without making an pretensions to per-
sonal honor and advises others to fol-
low his example. Never having en-
numbered myself with wife, he says,
I never have to bother myself about
any w0man's honor
The climax in a literary sense comes
in the second act, which is dominated
by the men and brings them out as
arrant goSsips and mischiefmakers
without sacrificing a notch Of their
manly attributes nor sharing the hon.
ors of the opposite sex in matters Of
tattle and malicious inference. 1t Is all
most entertaining and amusing, and

ton of comedians of enyfable talents
and accomplishments. The engagement
