to cOn1ure up the war spirits from
the bottomless pit over the dispute

real cause for war now. as then, and

we do not believe they are. And
therefore We do not anticipate breach

the French government at Algeclras

and admirable self-restraint In very
trying circumstances
Possibly they will feel II incumbent
upon them TO call the conference of

II may be as we'll, though, to dismiss
the erroneous idea that Morocco IS too
unimportant to constitute the subject
Of a serious dispute. It has at least
regime It would yield a considerable
addition to the French army, and that

colonial policy. Morocco is fertile
country and would, under proper cul-
tivation, become the granary OF
Europe. Besides the mountains are
rich in valuable metals. The dispute,
therefore, turns really on the possess
sion OF an empire. France wants Mo-
rocco. Germany wants at least part
of It, or as It may finally appear, an
equivalent elsewhere for the reln-
quishment of any rights she may claim
In that country.

TO HELP FARMERS.

About a year ago the King Of Italy
caused a circular TO be sent to the VAR
ious powers OF the world, inviting them
to a conference at Rome, for the pur-
pose of considering the establishment
Of an international chamber OF agricul.
ture.
In the royal letter 10 the Italian gov
eminent on the subject credit for the
initiative of the scheme was given to
Mr. David Lubin Of Sacramento, Cal,
and the purpose Of the proposed institu.
tion was explained The King called
attention TO certain disabilities Of the
agricultural classes OF the world, and
suggested that II would be highly bene.
fetal to establish IAN international in
sttution, absolutely unpolltical in It's
aims, which would have before it the
conditions Of agriculture In different
countries OF the world, to announce PEE
ricdlcally the quantity and quality Of
the crops In hand and so facilitate
the production OF such crops and render
less costly and more rapid trade In
the same and facilitate the attainment
Of favorable settlement Of prices"
It was also pointed out that such an
International chamber OF agriculture,
acting IN unison with associations al
ready existing, would render the agricul-
turlsts Of the world invaluable service
by furnishing trustworthy information
regarding the demand for and supply Of
agricultural labor in various parts OF
the world, and so providing emigrants
with a safe and useful guide, II would
promote agreements necessary for coll
le2tive defence against diseases OF
plants and domestic animals, which
cannot be successfully fought by partial
action, 1t would exercise a timely In.
nuence on the development OF societies
for rural cooperation, agricultural in
surance and agrarian credit, Such an
institution, which would be an instru-
ment Of solidarity for all the compo-
nents Of the agricultural CLASSES and
consequently be powerful influence
for peace, would be capable Of many
beneficial developments"
The conference was held at Rome in
the month Of May, last year. and the
proposition was thoroughly discussed BY
the delegates present. According to in
formation now furnished by friends Of
the movement, the chamber OF agricul.
ture Is sure TO take form For many
countries have officially signlned their
willingness to support II. Among these
are the United States, Argentine, Bel

MOB MURDER,

The mob violence at Springfield. o.,
Is a sad comment on the defense on
mob retribution recently given by a
| prominent American. Former Emhas-
sador Andrew d, White. In an address
| before the students OF Cornell unlYer-
sity said, in part, II correctly reported:
when we consider that forty-dve
out OF every forty-slx murderers escape
| punishment, is It any wonder that out
ragged communities take measures to
protect themselves? Lynching brute
| Is on par with stamping out a rattle
| snake, and those in peril are the best
Judges OF the methods"
That is a direct endorsement Of mob
murder, and the events at Springfield
may be considered in the light OF an H.
lustratlon of that pernlclous doctrine.
II appears that In a shooting scrape,
a brakeman was seriously wounded by
negroes The two alleged assailants
fen into the hands Of the officers. one,
wounded. was taken TO the hospital,
and tho other was hurried of to Day
ton for safe keeping. There was moth
ing to justify anyone In the suppostIon
that Justice would not be melted out,
after due process of law.
The mob, however, wanted no legal
aid, To the number Of one thousand
they gathered and marched To- the coll
orcd quarter with the intention Of
burning the houses OF that section, A
saloon was raided and demolished, and
many OF the mob became drunk. Wo-
men and children. as well as men, were
In danger Of being murdered. Houses
were set on FIRE. one police officer WAS
seriously wounded by a flying missile.
Finally the militia had to be called out
to dispense the intoxicated rioters.
That Is an example OF mob retribu-
ton. That Is the kind of law all de-
tenders OF lynchers advocate. For a
mob Is not tit to execute justice in the
excitement OF the moment. Such
crowd can easily be induced 10 COM
nit excuses OF this kind and for that
very reason It has been found necessary
IN every civilized community to dele
gate the power OF administering justice
on behalf OF the people, 10 certain per-
sons qualified for that task, To ig-
more this fact, and advocate lynch JUS
tice,' Is to recommend a return TO bar
barous conditions, destructive OF civil
lied institutions.
II Is not denied that the admlnlstra-
ton OF justice in this country. as ev-
erywhere on earth, Is imperfect; 1t Is
both tardy ana uncertain. But
those imperfectlons are not right
cd by gross violations Of the law. Such
irregular proceedings do not stop crime.
We believe murder and assaults have
been increased by the beastly passions
which lynchings engender In an entire
community. Murderers must be pur-
sued and face the fun penalty OF their
crimes, but II civilization is to be pre-
served, this must be done under the
forms OF law, and with due care that no
innocent man Is molested. and put to
death. There Is no telling upon whom
the vengeance OF a reckless mob may
fall and even II II were certain that
the Victims OF the mob We're always
guilty, II would stlll be true that killing
by a mob is murder In a most abhorrent
form.

WOULD ABOLISH EXCLUSION
san Francisco Call.

Fosters bill amending or, rather, re-
writing the Chinese Exclusion Act Is
very adroitly drawn and, II enacted,
would come very near throwing down
the bars completely to coolie labor. The
bill provides for the exclusion Of Chinese
laborers, whether skilled or unskilled,
but allows all other cases whatsoever
to enter the country at will Its most
vicious fault however. is that 1t prac-
tically creates presumption Of CHI
nese immigrants being entitled to land
and, in effect, imposes on the Ameri-
can inspectors the burden Of proving IN
each case the status Of an immigrant
laborer.
