The Wau to Prove 1t.

Governor Terrell of Georgia, in his
statement concerning the burning at
StatesbOro of two negroes condemned
to death for murder, says:
Il have been greatly mortified over
the crime of this mob take comfort
in the fact hat it did not represent
the sentiment of this State, for it's
action is condemned by a large ma
jority of the people of the State, and
as for that matter, of Statesboro and
Bulloch county, the scene of the
crime"
The governors words are reassur-
ing, and they require only the evil
dence Of action to remove from the
fair name of the State of Georgia the
stain that mob violence has placed
there. The governor says that the
action of the mob is condemned by a
large majority of the people of the
State, of the county in which the
crime was committed, of the town
which was the scene of the burning
of the legally condemned negroes.
Public opinion controls the enforce
ment of the law. and public opinion
itself is the concrete conviction OF
the large majority of the people
There are doubtless laws against
mob violence in Georgia as we'll as in
the other States. Probably those who
participated in the mob violence at
StatesbOro are known to the officers
Of the law, or if not known. can be
found out by a little investigation.
If. as Governor Terrell says, a large
majority of the people Of the State, of
the county, and of the town do con
denim the action of the mob, the evil
dence of that condemnation will be
found in the legal conviction and
punishment Of the men who were re-
sponsible for the action of the mob.
The case is emphaticalIy one that
calls for action and not apologize
words.

Pan American RdiIWdu.

Charles NJ. Pepper, who as the spe-
cial commissioner of the United
States for the Pan-American Railway,
should have a good idea of the facts
in the case-especially since he has
just returned from a trip through
South and Central America-denies
emphatically in an article in The
Independent that the proposed Pan
American Railway is an evanescent
dream.
He points out that if there were
one government from Mexico to the
Isthmus of Panama, and another from
the isthmUs 70 the Straits of Magel-
Ian, the process of linking the two
continents together would be no more
difficult an undertaking than that ac-
cOmplished by Russia in Siberia and
ManchuTia
With the situation as II is, how
ever. the only practical policy is 10
secure uniform action within the Dor
ders Of the different countries. so that
the railway policy of each Will result
in ultimately forming a through trunk
line from New York to Buenos Ayres.
The total gaps that nov lie between
fact and fancy in the realization Of
this ideal cover 400 miles. Some Of
the districts, Mr.. Pepper admits, are
unproductive, though none Of them
SO bad as the Nevada sagebrush des-
ert, or the northern sections of Mexi-
co. Moreover, ne believes that South
American governments have the same
trade and social incentives for span
ming these barren wastes as the Unit
ed States had in reaching the Pacific,
and Mexico in getting TO the Rio
Grande.
Mir. Pepper is not sufficiently opti-
mistic 10 be willing 20 say when ii
will be possible 10 make a trip by
rail from the Hudson Bay to Buenos
Ayres, but he thinks that it will not
be many years before a railroad jour
ney can be taken from New York to
Panama, and from Buenos Ayres to
Lima in Peru. He thinks by that
time railroad progress will be made
northward in Peru toward Ecuador,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-08-24

and from Panama southwark through
Colombia.
As Mr.. Pepper points out, there is
real significance in Mexico extending
its lines to Guatemala and the Argen-
tine Republic actually crossing the
frontier of Bolivia under a treaty
There is significance also in the COM
pleted sections of railway along the
intercontinental route in Peru and
Guatemala. These things show that
our southern neighbors are awaken
ing to the Importance of railroad con-
struction.
UnquestiOnably if they can be
taught to turn their superluOus revo-
lutiOnaTy energies into such a pros
perity promoting pursuit as railroad
building, the actual achievement of
linking the continents would outrun
even Mr.. Peppers hope of it,

20 the state for the purchase of land
and other direct imposts; sets apart
S1,500,000 from the state funds for
the purpose of forming an inalienable
fund for the benefit of landless peo-
pie of Finland; grants amnesty to
those Firms who have emigrated
without authorization; RENTS the
fines imposed upon the rural and
urban communes of Finland which
refused to submit to military con-
scriptiOn in 1902 and 1908, and also
RENTS the fines imposed upon the
Jewish communes in the cases of
Jews avoiding military service. The
manifesto provides for a general re
duction in sentences for common law
offenses, and a general amnesty to
political offenders with the exception
of assassins.
Doubtless the publication of this
testimony of the Cars magnanimity
will be received with great rejoicing
and with many marks of gratitude by
the Gar loyal subjects and, indeed,
they should rejoice that justice has
been done in special cases even
though it did require such a moment
Gus incentive to bring it about.
1t will be regretfuIly noticed, how
ever, that with few exceptions, such
as the abolition of corporal punish
ment and the reduction of the punish
ishment for minor offenses, these ere
forms" only correct in a small way
errors already committed without
guaranteeing against their return in
the future. Russia needs more of
reform than that to accomplish great
results, though every step in advance
should be welcomed as indicative of
progress.

Mrs. MaybTiCk'S Arrival.

The arrival in this country of Mrs.
Florence E. Maybrick, confined for
fifteen years in an English prison
unjustly, as the vast majority of peo-
pie are firmly convinced-has been
duly heralded by an enterprising
press AS was to be expected, she
was met in New York by a large
gathering, which, however, seems to
have been as well hammered as one
could reasonably expect under the cir
cumstances. Morbid curiosity is not
a legitimate motive for those who at
heart are ladies and gentlemen.
However, now that Mrs. Maybrick
is really here, the greatest possible
kindness that can be shown her is the
extreme favor of letting her alone.
Surely her sufferings entitle her TO
that much consideration, especially
from those who believe that those
sufferings have been undeserved.
The lady herself should only too
willingly cooperate with the public in
this endeayor to leave behind all
traces of memories that can only be
saddening and Improbable, and the
evidence of this cooperation will be
found in the success with which she
avoids occasions for attracting public
attention to herself, either by her
sayings or her doings.
1t is safe to say that unless she
persists in thrusting herself into pub
lie notice, the time will shortly come
when she will pass from the memory
Of all except those who make it a
business to cherish notoriety in all
its forms. Then she will be able 10
live her life as she pleases in the re-
tired circle of her friends. The short
ness of the American memory. in
which the rapid progress of events
quickly wipes out the happenings of
the past with the sponge of the pres
ent, has its blessings as well as its
curs!ngs.
