MOB LAW.

Down South when a criminal assault
case comes before the public it is gen.
orally after the guilty party has been
lynched. And even in Richmond the
spirit that contemplates lynching is
manifest in the mutterings one hears
on the streets after an affair, such as
happened last Saturday. 1t is we'll.
however, for our standing as law
abiding community If nothing devel-
opes beyond the mutterings. Nothing
is gained and no example is set when
an angry mob undertakes to mete out
summary vengeance. The same men
who form such a mob are the very
ones who have helped to elect repre-.
sentatives who have made our laws.
The laws are meant to be obeyed by
all classes of citizens and mob bent
on taking the law into it's own hand
simply aids in destroying the respect
that must be felt for laws in order to
make them most effective That this
is true is proven by the fact that de-
spite hundreds of lynchings in the
South, criminal assaults continue.
Now under that condition it certainly
looks as though lynch law is not eff
fective in deterring the criminally in.
clined from following out their pur-
pose. The man who is lynched is
quickly put out of all pain. suffering
and, maybe, shame. But the man who
is tried and convicted by due process
of the law has years of prison life
ahead Of him and it is not hard to real
lie how that monotonous life must
punish a man. In the case of mob OF
lynch law, mere vengeance is executed
In the case of trial and conviction by
the law of the land, the entire commu
nifty exacts the penalty for a criminal

CUBAN RAILS TESTED.

The Pennsylvania railroad has had
in use for eighteen months on the
famous horseshoe curve steel rails
made by the Spanish American Iron
company in Cuba, and these rails have
worn considerably better than have
the ordinary standard rail of the same
weight manufactured from other ore
In this connection it is said that the
Pennsylvania Steel company owns all
the stock Of the Spanish-American
Iron company and has fully as great
an ore property as the United States
Steel company. not including it's great
Northern lands. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 tons of ore in this
Cuban property, which is being rap
idly developed.

AS Second Class Mail Matter.
ROOSEVELT AS DICTATOR.

Paris newspapers just now are fren-
ziedly proclaiming President Roosevelt
a born dictator and wondering that the
great American republic stands for
him. We respectfully suggest that
the Paris newspapers would show more
wisdom if they would obtain their
knowledge concerning President Roose-
welt and his relations toward this
country by personal investigation,
rather than by getting it second
hand" from 'expatriots." The class
of Americans who are interviewed by
the Paris newspapers are those, gener-
ally, whose special interests have been
rudely tempered with in the interest of
lie entire American nation. Natur-
ally, such Americans could not be ex-
pected to give a fair opinion concern
ing our president. If, however, the
Paris newspapers would make a per-
sonal Investigation they would find
that President Roosevelt, instead of be-
ing a born distator, is a born leader
There is distinction there that is ap-
parent to all Americans other than
those in whose shady transactions the
president has interfered.
A dictator is man in whom all
the powers Of state are concentrated
and such a man was Napoleon Bona
parte, who was dictator and emperor of
the French nation. Contrast Napoleon
and President Roosevelt, however, and
the difference between the two men is
apparent enough to convince the most
skeptical that the latter is in no sense
a dictator, but simply the greatest
leader the American people ever had.
Napoleon, as dictator, worked altogeth-
err for his personal welfare believing,
as all dictators do, that in that way he
was working for the best interests of
his nation. President Roosevelt, by
the widest stretch of imagination,
could not be accused of working for his
own personal interests. He has con-
sistently worked against the great and
entrenched power of the special inter
ests, with whom most former presi-
dents worked in harmony, in favor of
the people of this country.
And even while working thus for the
people the president has not been able
to use dictatorial methods. Time and
again he has compromised with the
leaders Of the special interests and
gained partial victory in order to es-
tablish principle from which in the
future he can work out a complete vic
tory for the people. The people do
not love a dictator. They may ad-
mire him, but their admiration is not
akin to the love and confidence the
American people have for President
Roosevelt. And it is this distinction
the Paris newspapers will have to
learn at first hand before they can do
justice either to President Roosevelt or
the American people.

Concerning "Christian Names"

May one interject gentle protest
against the use of the phrase Chris
tian name" in this connection? The
Romans said praenomen, the French
say prenom, and we have used the
word "forename" for the last 3GJ
years. 1t is as incorrect to speak of
the Christian name of Jew, for ex-
ample, as it would be hopeless to ex-
pect a Christmas card from a Jewish
rabbi. Again, the middle name of a
Roman was his gentle name-that of

Bryan is far in the lead if he insists again upon being the candidate of the Democrats.
 Judge Gray Is a remarkably we'll preserved man. He was born in 1S40, and on the 4th of May, If he lives, will then be only 67 years of age. During the past session of Congress he was here and called at Senator Morgan's committee room. The Judge looks ten years younger than he really is Serv- ing on the bench seems to agree with him.

 Little Delaware is a cauldron when 1t comes to politics. and it has been ever since the Salisburys and Bayards used to rule the bailiwick generations ago. Mir. Gray had a hard time to hold his seat in the Senate. But he managed to stay in that august body nearly fourteen years.
