When slpator Patts stsp-daughter was about
to be married not long ago the senator decided to
give her, i welding gift, thousand dollars in
gold He wanted absolutely clean money. so he had
bis secretary so to the treasury with bills and
mand the money fresh from the mint, which de-
mani acceded to in view of the fact that it was
Senator Platts.
when the secretary got the money he put It in a
little chamois skin bag, tied II up neatly with a
ribbon and sent it to Platt according to Of the
Washington correspondents
The senator was in his seat when the gold ar
rived. Il was sent in to him by page He ex-
amined the bag tossed 1t back and forth in his
hTnds few moments, ard then let it drop to the
aoor, thinking to pick it up at once.
Something interrupted him, he forgot all about
1T and went to his apartment. A few moments after
Mr. Plat left his secretary found the gold and put
it In the safe in the senator's committee room. He
knew the senator would ask about it later
Next morning at : o'clock the secretary's tele-
phone bsil rang. He got up sleepiIy and answered
the can.
''Helio." the wire. rs that you,
Howe? Well, wish you would go up to the senate
chamber right away and see il you find that
thousand dollars in gold dropped It up there and
forgot al about it,
Howe told him he had il in the committee safe
If anything were needed to prove that the present
Platt is not the Plat Of the old days this excellent
story furnishes it. Would the Tom Platt Of conc

new gold money under any conceivable circum-
stances?

Missouri Is again called upon 20 face tho disgrace
Of lynchiug within her borsers and this time II IS
treble crime that cries aloud for just rtributlon
IN Sprlneheld on Saturday night mob CT 1000 men
and boys took two negroes and after dragging them
nssnsibc to the place Of execution hanged them to
a statue Of the Goddess OF Liberty Its blood lust
being not yet appeased the mob returned to the jail
and took another negro to the place and hanged
him after some horrible bunging Not content with
the mere sewage abandon to murder, the mob COM
petely wrecked the home OF the sheriff and allowed
every prisoner in the jail 70 escape.
From the press dispatches Il appears that the
nucless Of the mob was crowd Of boys who wero
joined by every hoodlum and loafer in the town
There was no mention Of any manly attempt on the
pert Of the authorities to prevent the crime. The
policemen and deputies made themselves conspicu-
ously scarce and the mob hs9 its own way. The
KsnssA city Journal says itse,s one Of the bodest
as wel as most atrocious mob crimeS that has ever
responded TO thbarbarous instinct to slay helpless
human creature.
The alleged justification Of this act was the fact
that while OFT driving with a young man. girl Of
the city was dragged from the buggy by two negroes
and abused after her escort IVES knocked senseless.
Although two negroes were arrested charged with
the crime they had not been identified and their
employer ofrered to prove alibi for them Il was
while these eulprits we're held awaiting some proof
i@AtNihNN-
1t was grotesq1e irony that the mob conceived the
idea Of haaene ana burning tiese negroes at the
feet q the statue Of the Goddess Of Liberty The
third victim 10 the mobs fury not connected in
any way with the crime that had aroused the anti
race sentiment IN Springfield

been dispersed had men of brains andbravery taken

we're melting themselves and the rabbe Of the town
10 violence After the mob had gainSa in numberr
aud WIS drank with frenzy the sheriff made tardy
offcrt to prevent the ynchng. Then il was too late
Tie awful thing had been done and three human
souls were freed without trial single chance to
prove innocence This is not alone springdeld's
shame The whole state must suffer the stigma Of
outlswry chat this mob has brought upon Il The
only thing that can be done now is to hunt down the
leaders OF the mob and bring them to summary
Punishment Springfield can do this and the self
respect Of that community and the good name OF
Missouri demand that Il be done at once.
