The Passing of Corca.

The New York American thinks
that the days of Corea as an indie.
pendent nation are numbered, anC
the glory of Yi-Hyeung, Lord of tho
Elephant and King of the Four Re.
gions of Heaven, has departed.
The unhappy Emperor of the Her.
nit people, having been told by his
Premier that his abdication was de-
sired, and the bouffe code of the
empire being hat a delicate hint of
this sort must be accepted as a com
mand, he has dutifully stepped down
and out.
1t is true the comedy has been
played of installing a new Emperor
in the person Of Crown Prince, but
he is an incompetent and a puppct
pulled by silken strings of Japanese
make.
1t is the fact that by treaty the
United States undertook to maintain
the territorial integrity of Corea, and
it is history that Japan, in 1904,
guaranteed Corea her national indie
pendence. But treaties and guaran-
tees count little when aggression is a
commercial necessity and when a
pledge of sentiment is automatically
laughed aside.
There vas not even an expression
of real regret when, in 1906, the Co
rcan Legation in Washington closed
its doors and gave the keys to the
Japanese Embassy.
1t was acknowledged at the State
Department that the disappearance
Of the black fower-pot hats would
mean the loss of a picturesque ele-
ment of costume; but that was all.
And there will be no protest when
the sun flag of the Island Empire is
set up in the high place of the pen
insula. Yi-Hyeung is the thirty
fourth Emperor Of his dynasty, and
though there may be the fare of an
other Lord of the Elephant, ETC.. the
dynasty is closed, says the New York
American.

Arthur GLADDEN., SIS, a prosperous

GLADDEN. had sold his farm for S.

When the time came to give pos

so much. Climbing into the haymow,
he covered himself in the fragrant
clover, the strings OF his heart snap

cry.
When found his checks wore still

offered to buy back the farm for ST.

sect known as Holy Jumpers were
arrested at Waukesha, Wis, some

The people OF that place arc in

we're conducting meeting on q

All the way to the station house
they kept on jumping and shouting

When placed in Jail they continued
their noisy demonstrations long into

turned the hose on them. The result

A LaWlcSS

AS a people we delight in parading
our greatness before the world, but
really we have some things that need
reforming badly. In a paper recent
ly published and sanctioned by the
American Academy of Political
Science, Prof. James w. Garner, of
the University of Illinois. declares
that "the people of the United States
stand before the civilized nations as
the most lawless in the world" Prof.
Garner produces table showing that
homicides are now raging around
5000 year, with only 119 legal ex-
ccutions for 1904, the latter year in
cluded in his statistics.
The United States have 112 homi-
cides to each million population as
against five in Germany, ten in Eng
land and Wales, twelve in Canada
and IL in France. Chicago. with a
third the population of London, has
eight times as many murders. Of our
host of manslayers we only managed
to execute 116 in 1901, scoring prac-
tically no advance upon twelve years
ago, when killings were but one-fifth
as many. AS is notorious, though,
Prof. Garner seems to have no stats
tics on this point, nothing is ever
done to the vast majority of slayers.
AS the Charlotte Observer says
'murderers are acquitted and lioniz-
ed upon pleas which would not be toll
Grated for a moment in the courts of
any other civilized country. Lynch
ings increased at a great rate. The
country is more lawless each year
than it has ever been before. Prof.
Garner spoke simple truth when he
assigned us u bad eminence. Is it
not time that the American people,
if only from a sense of shame, were
opening their eyes to this evil?"
The Observer is right but the prob
lem is to find a remedy and apply it,
Our laws are all framed for the bene.
fit of law breakers, and in conse.
quence it is the hardest work in the
world to convict a man Of crime, and
harder still to keep him convicted
The enforcement of our laws is in the
hands Of the %juries, the judges and
the lawyers, and the showing this
country makes in bringing criminals
to justice does not reflect any credit
on them. This lax administration of
the law is the sole cause of lynch
law. People are afraid to trust the
courts. and often when they get hold
of a criminal they lynch him and the
good name of the State is injured
thereby.

Against Coca Cola.

What men of practical judgment
have been looking for is slowly com
ing to pass. For a long time the best
peopleo of this country have been talk
ing and working against coca-cola.
Two years ago there was an attempt
to place the matter before the lcgis-
lature of this state, but we are then
told by the state chemist that there
was nothing in it," Following the
issuance by the United States war
department of q formal order, the
sale of coca-cola has been forbidden
in all the army posts of the Atlantic
division. Why? Col. II. f. Robinson
adjutant general Of the department
of the gulf, made the following state
ment to the Atlanta Journal:
DO you remember what these
recommendations werc?" was the
question put to the Colonel. "No not
in detail; but the claim was that the
soldiers formed a craving for the
beverage. don't know what effects
were commented on in the report.
only that the surgeon general said
that coca-cola contained certain in
gradients that formed a habit. The
report also said that the formula had
been changed at various times"
In commenting on the above the
Grccnvillc MOuntaineer says ut does
not take the surgeon general of the
army nor the state chemist to tell
that coca-cola contain ingredients
that form a habit. Coco-cola contains
ingredients that work upon the ner-
YES Of men and women. This state
mcnt will be borne out by a hundred
people in this city. They will tell you
that they were forced to stopit, that
they got SO they couldn't sleep at
night. Yet the state chemist of South
Carolina says there is nothing in
it," Other people have had the same
experience of those mentioned by
the MOuntainccr.

A frightful murder in which a

recently took place in Nunica, Mich.
Henry Scutcheon, aged about 80,
went mad, and committed the terri

The Scutcheon farmhouse had al

for the cloud which the invalidism of
the only son cast over it. Then came
the day when, without any warning
at all, the father seized the ak and
buried it in his sons head. He then
attacked his wife, and the poor wo-
man ran screaming before him. But
the insane man soon caught up to her
and felled her by the roadside. Then
Scutcheon rushed to the house and
murdered his foster father-in-law.
Next he tried to destroy himself
by gashing his throat and wrist with
a razor and by taking some poison
But his wounds did not weaken hin
nor the poison take effect, so, seizine
his ak, he rushed to the slaughter
again. He returned to the road
where he discovered that his wife
had been removed to the house OF
Henry Mcclellan, nearby. When he
discovered that his wife was alive ant
