hed The speeches were good, the

made the suggestion that the Russian
church might at once sto. the perse-
cution of Jews by simply proclaim
ing the fact that Jesus was himself a
Jew, born of a Hebrew mother,
taught and teaching in Hebrew
synagogues, and crucihed not by He
brews but by the Romans. His sug-
gestions are along the line of DR..

quent address in South Bend, and if
acted upon in good faith would doubt
less produce the result predicted by

LYNcHING IN MISSOURI.
Martial Law Declared in Springfield
10 Prevent a Race war.

A mob broke INTO the Jail at Spring
neld, Missouri Saturday night hanged
ana roasted three negroes who are
now said TO be innocent. This of
course aroused the colored people of
the city and Easter was the most ex-
citing and gloomy day ever known in
Springfield
Sunday night seven companies of
state troops and 800 special deputy
sheriffs were patrolling the streets
to prevent an outbreak of desperate
race war. The enmity toward the ne
groes which actuated a mob of sew
eral thousand men, women and boys
10 break into the jail Sunday night
and lynch and burn three blacks, was
not satisfied by the tragedy, and so
threatening was the situation that the
authorities of the city and county uni
ted in an appeal to Governor Folk to
send the militia.
In striking contrast to the spirit of
violence and defiance of the law was
the attitude taken by the prominent
men of the city, who united in de-
mand that the leaders of the mob be
punished. They declared that the
iynching and burning of Horace Dun
can and James Copeland, accused of
assualting Mabel Edmondson, white
woman, and William Allen, charged
with the murder of o. P. Rouark, an
aged man, was blot on the name of
the city, which must be wiped out.
AT the same time efforts were made
to recapture the fourteen prisoners,
who were liberated when the jail was
broken into and four were taken dur
ing the day.
The authorities assert that Cope
land and Duncan were innocent. This
is the general belief.
The demand Of the peace-lovng
section of the population was prompt
ly seconded by Governor Folk. who
took quick action to prosecute the
leaders of the mob. He authorized
the offering of reward of $500, the
limit allowed by the law. for the ar
rest and conviction of members of the
mob, and instructed Assistant Attor-
ney General Gentry to proceed here
at once and aid the grand jury Of
Creme county in ferreting out and
the leading lawbreakers.
Prosecuting Attorney Roscoe Pat
terson and Sheriff Horner are said
to have secured the names of more
than 100 men who took part in the
lynching.

The Republican party of Indiana
| is now squarely before the voters
with its record of ACHE e-ements, its
promises of performance, and its can
didates for Office. The speeches oi
the public men and officers in attend
ance, the formulation of the princip-
les and purposes of the party in the
platform, and the selection of men
for the administration of affairs in our
state combine to prove the safety to
the people of trusting affairs still fur
ther in the hands of that party.
The discussion in the speeches and
in the platform of national policies
and intents of the party was fitting
because the state elects thirteen men
to represent it in congress of the
United States. What the Repsbli-
cans in congress have done, and what
is their relation to the chief questions
at present before the country and
likely to come before it within two
years are of interest to the voters of
this state. The relation of the party
to the principle of protection is es-
pecially timely and interesting, and
the announcement by the temporary
chairman. Congressman Brick, that
the party stands unreservedly for the
principle of protection, but that shift
ing conditions and enlarged prosper
ity suggest and possibly demand a
modification of the application of that
principle through a revision of the
tariff schedule meets the emphatic en-
dorsement of the majority of the
leaders of the party. Even Congress-
man Lands, the permanent chairman
of the convention, in his able and
characteristic defense of the Dingley
law, confessed that he was welded
to the principle and not to the sched-
ule, while not admitting directly that
he was in favor of modifying the lat
ter.
Regarding state affairs the utteran-
ces of the party in its platform, the
endorsement of the enforcement of
law for the protection the interests
of the people, the emphasis on such
acts of Governor Hanly as show his
honest purpose to administer the af-
fairs of the state to the correction
OF dishonesty, to the encouragement
of higher citizenship and to the eco
nomical adjustment of all internal af-
fairs of the state, the tribute to the
