Is Disease a Crime ?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due TO the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing OF children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system. coupled

county. Under all the clrcum-
stances, with the Circuit Judge
Gordon's unequivocal public
declaration that the power of the
Commonwealth shall be used to
prevent a lynching, and with a
corps of officials including the
High Sheriff, his deputies, the
County Judge and the Jailer, all
men of courage, capable of meet
ing the situation and having
clearly shown disposition to
uphold the dignity of the law,
there is but the slightest posi-
bility that there could have been
a lynching after the negro ca

if the offence charged had been
more aggravated form of the
miserable crime that was at
tempted.
Much of thu mob talk has
come from irresponsible sources,
as there are always those ready,
without consideration, to indulge
in incendiary talk under any de-
gree of unusual public excite
ment. But there are many ex
,cellent citizens who look upon
the crime of assault as one that
can only be expiated by an i'm
mediate killing without waiting
for the forms Of law or the pro-
cesses Of the courts. And these
are the more dangerous to the
dignity of the law in times of
great excitement over dastardy
crime than are the habitually
wild and hot-headed members of
a community. This should not
be so. The substantial citizen
should take thought that there
is extreme danger to society gen.
orally in every expression or act
of the mob spirit, as well as the
danger to the isolated individual
from the one-in fifty-thousand
miscreant who makes a criminal
assault or commits unprovoked
murder. 1t lie the good citizen
underordinary circumstances who
should be the good citizen under
extraordinary circumstances and
pr0v0eation. 1t is this class of
citizens who must, if anybody
does, support the public official
in the enforcement of the laws
Uf the Commonwealth.
There is encouraging sign in
The case IN point just now as in
dicated by some of the circum
stances surrounding. One is
that the negro charged with the
crime was arrested by kinsman
Of the young lady attacked, ac-
companied by several friends.
Instead Of being taken to the
tcene of the attempted assault
for naturalization he w s
brought To MadlsoDville n d
turned over to the authorities.
Another circumstance that indi-
Gates cool and deliberate action
and determination to abide by
the process of the law is the fact
that the yoang lady's father is
reliably reported to have said,
after the indentifcation of the
negro, that he wanted the law to
take its course. This is believed
without positive confirmation
for the reason that the gentleman
in question is known and looked
npon as a lawabidlng, coolheaded
citizen.
One of the circumstances con-
nected with the public's parti-
clpation in the affair is that the
news has been sent out to the
world through dispatches from
Madisonville and in some of the
local press matter published,

Jack Perry stood in the door of his

softly at what he saw. Jack was not a

and there being a long. narrow, empty

AS he stood up and stretched himself,
after this last fastidious touch, he felt
as any living thing feels when it has

could retire when he was through with

he might invite inside.
The two Sundays since he came to
Eureka he had had respectively ten and
twelve IN the congregation. This would
never do. He must plan some way to at
tract hearers to the searching, kindling
sermons he meant to preach.
He walked out to the front door OF the
churchand looked down at the saloon,
as the owner of II had looked up at him.
There were enough people going into that
place, he thought enviously. Why
shouldn't some of them come TO him?
He seized his sombrero and hurried down
