The Benefits of Discipline.

At Jackson Day celebration held in Cincinnati recently, John Temple Graves of Georgia was the principal speaker and in the course of his ora tion of cheer to the democratic party the gentleman took occasion to utter this terse sentence: Defeat is discip- line and disaster is education" While Mir. Graves had in mind primarily the political party under whose auspices the occasion was called, he uttered a truth which can not be confined to the limited cnvirons of a political par ty, neither can it be bounded by the borders of a nation. But all great truths to fulfn a great mission must prove equally applicable to the unit as to the mass, to the individual as to the party or the nation and this uni versaI adaptation is the real test of truth.
 Defeat is discipline if it brings to the surface those sterling qualities in the individual of which he was hardly aware he was the possessor, and in this sense, victory Is discipline as well. if with the victory there does not come a relaxation or cessation of effort. While to the man, the nation or the party disaster should mean education, victory should also be made to mean, to the one attuned to the occasion, the bugIe blast summoning him to yet nobler eXertion.
 The record of our great inventions is a history of apparent defeats, but defeat proved the se2rchlight that re- vealed flaws and imperfections and af- ter q while came a success, one that was earned and therefore could be doubly enjoyed. Leaders are educated in the school of defeat and it might be said with truth that no man is fit to lead who does not know how to profit by defeat.

ARB0R DAY ADDRESS
Delivered at the High School Tester
 day by Dr. Halsey.

By invitation of Principal George 2lount, Rev. Dr. Halsey gave an ad- dress to the scholars of the high school at the opening exercises yesterday morning.
 After an appTeciative reference to the music of the high school orchestra, Dr. Halsey spoke in part as follws: It is a great thing sometimes to plant a tree; it is a greater thing to plant q life. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture in President CleveIand's s cabinet, and previously governor Of Nebraska, is called the father of arbor day. Through his influence thousands of acres in Nebraska have been planted with trees and by legislature enactment Nebraska is known as the tree plant CTS state
 But the best thing Governor Morton planted to grow up in Nebraska was his son, Paul Morton, now secretary of the navy in President Roosevelts cabinet.
 Our territory of Arizona contains the largest unbroken pine forest in the United States, covering more than 27,00O square miles or 1,70O,OOO acres. Besides this pine belt there are thou sands of square miles of other forests, including the oak upIands of the Mo gOllon range.
 On a journey with Superintendent C. ". Goodman last year from Kelvin and Globe to the White River agency, and from Fort Apache to HolbroOk, some two hundred miles, I had an Op- pOrtUnity of passing through immense forests where We would travel for q half day sometimes without seeing q sign of human habitatiOn. This jour ney was over a part of the great wa tershed which is to feed the TOnto re- scrvOir.

 Trees need more than planting, they need protection, training. trimming and so do boys and men. Sometimes Cer- tain branches need to be eliminated. Trees at times need rest, letting alone. If when young they are often shaken and roughly handled, their roots are IoOsened and they die.
 Men and women also need rest.

the lesson and history will write in letters of gold the final success. But defeat is discipline only to the man who knows what he wants and has the courage. or rather the determination of his convictions.

Placing the Responsibility.

MT. Ray s. Baker, who wrote an ac- count of his investigation of southern lynchings for the January number of McClure's. has il the February num- Der an account of similar lynchings in the north. MT. Baker finds that every town both in the south and in the north that has been dlsgraced by the public lynchings or burning of crimi- nal by mob had previous to the Oc- currence, a record for an unusual mum Der of hOmicides. He finds that courts of justice have been slow to punish and that in many cases the punish ment has been nominal merely. !. He finds the lynchings and the burnings to be the logical result of a contempt for the sacredness of human life.
 There have been writers who have sought to prove that the mob is the inevitable result of the commission of a certain crime; that as a rule such a mob was made up of respected citi- zens, that it did it's work quietly and dispersed in orderly fashion. MT. Baker declares that the crimes vary. that the mob is invariably made up of the reckless element in the town. and that every lynching and every burning has been followed by a carnival of lawlessness. His articles. while dis couraging in that they picture mob violence and its consequences vividIy. are encouraging in that they show that mobs are inevitable only because lax executors of the law choose to make them so.
 Perhaps no writer before him has so dfspassionately, so saneIy investigated for the benefit of the public this seri- ous municipal problem nor so unmis- takabIy pointed to the cause. The problem of the mob has heretofore as a rule been treated as one phase of the negro problem. The other writers who have attempted to deal with the subject have either approached it from the standpoint of a sympathizer with the negro or from the standpoint of one who firmly believes that the negro criminal of the worst type ne- cessitated the mob. But MT. Baker arraigns each community where the mob has held sway and proves that not the misdeeds of the negro but a lax enforcement of the laws that were made for black and white alike is re- sponsible for those gatherings which respect neither life nor law. He sug- Gests no remedy, but so clear has been his diagnosis that it would be impos- sible for the intelligent to err in re- gard to the treatment
