TIE uNWRITrEN LAW.

The Columbia, s. c.. State says that
the unwritten law is a terrible stain
upon. civilization. and that while the
courts practically give warrant to pro-
cedure that makes It easy for q weak
or vicious woman to have one man
sacrificed to save another; then it be-
comes a monstrous evil" =
The News-Leader q Richmond SAYS
that Life Is unsafe. the law against
murder is almost nuIlifled, ana the
state is in the ignominious position Of
being unable to protect her own citi-
xens.''
That cannot all be charged upon
i the unwritten law. In certain regions
of the United states, the rule for a
long time has been that If man has
a grievance against another man, his
remedy is to kill him. The courts can
mot be reformed until the people are.
When man thinks he has a right to
Kill another man who insults him, and
the community holds to that same
idea, 1t is impossible to convict a man
OF murder who takes vengeance in his
own hands.
All new countries pass through
: those stages. There was a time In
England when. IL q man did not like
another, he sought quarrel with him
and killed him. That gave way, at
last. to dueling: then there came en-
aightenment. AS society progressed,
the duel was called crime, and at
last men came to the point of trying
their differences in the courts.
Some parts of our country are still
fin that state OF progression. and you
cannot educate juries to find men who
have committed those crimes guilty
until an impression becomes fixed that
: they are criminals. 1t is idle to in-s
! Weigh against the law. The thing to
do is to correct society. The laws are
all right when they are appealed to
I rightly, but it would be no use to read
a section of law to band of Indians.

band of West Virginia mountaineers

international law, history and diplos
macy at Columbia university and at
the school Of political science in Paris.
He was appointed to the diplomatic
service from Minnesota In 1898. His
first post was secretary of legation at
ConstantinopIe. and after six years
service he retired in 1899. In 1901 he
was appointed secretary of embassy
at st. Petersburg and remained there
until he was promoted, several years
ago, to Cairo as consul general ana
minister resident. In 1905 Mr.. Riddle
was appointed minister to Roumania
and Servia,, and last December he was
named TO succeed George Won L.
Meyer at st. Petersburg. Mr.. RIDDLE
Is one of the most accomplished linz
gusts in the diplomatic service Of the
United States. He speaks five or six
languages, and his Russian is SAID

formed miniature Matterhorn on the
sidewalk, she gave Instructions:
"Eudoxia, you'll take this lady's bag

Miss Shirley's. She is going to stop
with US for a few days"
Taken completely aback at the news
of this new addition, Eudoxia looked
at first defiance. She seemed on the
point OF handing in her resignation

thought better of it, for. taking a cue
