 to Nothing.
 Washington, March 2.--No action will be taken by the Postoffice Department respecting the publication by newspa- pers of the details of the Thaw trial, now in progress In New York
 Some time ago. President Roosevelt directed Postmaster-G General Cortelyou to inquire into the subject of the publi- cation of the detailed testimony ad- duced in the case with view to keep ing from the mails. if possible, papers publishing the suggestive details. The Postmaster-General submitted the question to Judge Goodwin, Attorney General for the Postofiioe Department, for an opinion. He has decided that a fraud order issued against any newspa . her which had published matter con- corning the trial that might be offen- sive would not lie because the publi- cation would be a fact accomplished before the order was Issued.
 The only recourse would be to warn newspapers that violations or the law in regard to the publication and dis semination ofsoffensive matter through the mails would be punished.
 This action was taken by the author Ities of the Department of Justice. The United States District Attorney for the Southern District of New York sent to various newspapers of New York postofice inspectors, warning g them that he would institute pAosecu- tions against them if they should vio- late the law No other steps have been taken in the matter.

County Attorney Heuver, today. in

asking for receivers for the Coying-

works and the bridge owned Jointly
by the two cities. Some time ago
the sheriff attempted to collect county
and state taxes on these properties
This was refused by the citizens on
the ground that the appellate court
had held such Mlegai. The sheriff
advertised the sale Of the property
and bid It in for the state. Now he
wants receivers to run the property,

to pay taxes and cost.

shaded his eyes for a time before he
counted them. He turned the money
into the main Office Of the Boston

A KENTUCKY EXAMPLE.

A few weeks ago negro was
frightened from the house after hav-
ing attempted to assault the daugh-
ter of a prominent Kentuckian. The
capture of the negro caused the usual
threats of lynching" The father of
the girl exerted himself to prevent
the crime and succeeded in doing so
Justice will be doue in the courts,
beyond a reasonable doubt. AT Flor
ence, Ala, the incident was dupd
Gated. The negro was captured and
identified by his intended victim. A
mob headed by the husband Of the
woman, it is stated in dispatches, tied
the negro to tree and fired 1000
shots into his body.
The Alabama mob committed a
horrible and inexcusable murder
when there was no probability that
a jury would have failed to do it's
duty. The criminal had confessed
his guilt.
Kentucky does not wish to pose as
Pharisee, thanking God that she is
not as Alabama, but she is in a posi-
ton to point to several recent in
stances of the swift punishment OF
negro criminals as examples by which
her neighbors in the south and in
the north, might wen profit
1t IS not difficult to convict negroes
of crimes against women if the gull
of the culprit is plain. It is easy t.
beat up a mob that viii hang negro
or burn him at the stake regardless
of whether there is ample proof o
his guilt, and one unpublished mol
murder paves the way for others.
Kentucky has reason to be prou'
of her record in recent years for con
victing her criminals in court instea
of numbering them in the woods. Z
little pride of this sort in certai
sections of Alabama would be Of ma
terial benefit to the state.-courlel

The courage of conviction is
scarcely to be expected, but If the
se,f-imposed leaders Of the school
board viii exhibit the courage Of
their presumption, they wiz, in Sc
aecting the principals in April, de
nominate one as principal Of the High
school If the board would defer the
election of a High school principal
unit, Prof. Carnagey came, and per-
init him to choose a man, 1t would be
but manifestation of the boards
confidence in the superintendent; but
that is "a far different procedure from
electing three principals and then
compelling the superintendent to
choose one Of them as principal of
the High school especially when the
rules of the board, governing the
qualifications, bind the superintcnd-
ent down to a choice without an al
Tentative. In this way. really, the
board selects the principal, but the
responsibility Is shifted from the
shoulders of the trustees to those ol
the superintendent and ito the rules
of the board. If the principal proves
unsatisfactory the board will be in
position to wash its hands Of the
matter.
The rules Of the board prescribe
that the principal Of the High schoo
must have been graduated from al
institution belonging to the colleg
union. in other words, a UNIVERSAL
recognized institution OF higher edu
cation It IS apparent to the boar
and to everybody else who are an
who are not qualified for the positio
Of principal. Patrons Of the scho'
are not likely to permit the'board
reduce the requirements. If III
board wishes TO appoint one Of d
local applicants that is an right, bl
the board should act ia the open.
