Paris and the Guillotine.

The formation of a mob in Paris, de-
manding the revocation of President Fall
Heres action in granting a Communication
to a criminal who had been sentenced to
death, suggests that there is interesting
conflict of public sentiment In that city
regarding the use or disuse of the guillo-
tine as a means of Furnishing capital crimi-
nails. That strong prejudice against the
guillotine should exist in certain quarters
is only natural The machine is associated
in the minds of all people with the horrors
OF the revolution. 1t is the type of a pro-
longed atrocity such. as the world hopes
never to witness again. Devised during
the early days of the terror 1t was recog
nized as a sure and speedy method of put
ting TO death the victims of the organic d
Frenchmen
That much of the prejudice against the
capital punishment of criminals, however
shocking their offenses, which exists in
France is traceable to the revulsion OF
feeling against the guillotine which swept
over France after the restoration of the
ancient regime is not to be questioned. In
time this feeling has broadened into a SEN
timent in opposition to all forms of capital
punishment. Yet the mob that paraded
the streets of Paris denouncing the action
of the president in granting life sentence
to the wretch for whom the guillotine had
waited so long perhaps included many who
in calmer moments would have Joined their
voices in opposition to the revival of the
plaything of the terrorists of 1790.

The Innocent Bystander.

Jes' an innocent bystander, that's what he
tried to be-
From every alteration he would struggle
to be free
An when a riot started he was up both day
an night
Implorin everybody to be good an not to
fight.
An seem that his sympathies was neither
here nor there.
They'd hand him few punches jes' because
they'd some to spare.
An when next night, the other folks went
hoe to rest and sup
He landed in the hospital, all neatly band
aged up.
He came across place where they were
usn' dynamite;
He jes' looked on till an explosion blew him
out O. sight.
They started up dog fight, which he
stopped a while to see,
An somehow he got bitten an the dogs
both went scot free.
They got i'm out upon the stump; he talked
with might and main,
Without no party prejudice nor hope of
earthly gain.
They called him a reformer, an made fun
at such pace
lie dldn hardly dare to look his family in
the face.
He thought the matter over an says he:
1T scarcely pays
To try to lead a placid life In these tenn
pestuous days.
The fellow that jes' stands aroun' upon this
bustlin' sphere
Gets run down by somebody that's behind
the steerin' gear.
I've notice it in base ball, an in life it's
jes' the same
The umpire has more trouble than the folks
that play the game.
So I'm goin' to get right busy and sail in
for all I'm worth,
Cause there amt room for innocent by
ISLANDERS on this EARTH

John G.. Walker,

Few members of the naval organization
prominent in the eighties and nineties were
more prominent or better known personally
in Washington than John G.. Walker. rear
admiral. retired, whose death is now re-
ported. When the full record Of the naval
development of the country after the civil
war shall come to be cast up Admiral
Walker will be found to have had a con-
spicuous and important part in the work
For long period he was in charge of the
bureau of navigation. and in that capacity
he participated in the constructive policies
of the naval administration. He was be-
lever in effective fleet. He recognized
the necessity of carrying the flag far into
the remote parts of the world, a pro-
lection to American commercial interests
He stood for naval progress in the days
when there was pronounced public senti-
ment against such movement. II was
wholly fitting that he should have COM
manded the first great fleet of visitation
popularity known the White Squadron
which is believed by many to have laid, or
at least strengthened, the foundations Of

the American diplomatic prestige abroad
This squadron of evolution" as It was
off1cialiy styled was ostensibly designed to
afford instruction to naval officers and
crews in extended cruises, but It had a
far more significant meaning than that in
the long run. and its appearance in foreign
ports undeniably aided the government of
the United States in establishing prestige
as a world power. In his later work as an
administrative official Admiral Walker
fostered the growth of the navy in many
ways and the effects of his progress
sixe influence are still felt in that
branch of the military equipment Of the
country. AS chairman OF the isthmian
canal commission it was his part to do a
great deal of routine work that did not go
to the actual digging Of the great ditch,
but it is generally recognized that in large
Measure he assisted in the advancement OF
the project, and in preparing the ground
for the hard work now under way. He did
not live to witness the frution Of this
labor but he did remain on the scene until
the day of great American naval develop
ment along the lines he helped to lay
down twenty years ago and more.

The summer just passed was q pleasant
one for Mr.. Culberson. Gov. johnson, Judge
Gray. Senator Daniel, Senator Bacon. Gov.
Beckham. and one or two other democrats
of prominence. Wall streets ant-Bryan
crusade took the droll turn of developing
favorite sons. particularly in the south.
and these good men and true suddenly
found themselves covered with praise SO
thick they could hardly breathe. Not one
of them was for a moment misled. Even as
young a leader as Gov Beckham must have
smiled to see himself pulled into the pro-
portions of profound statesman able TO
carry the United States and the rest of the
| earth on his shoulders. And. grave of ma
ture and demeanor as Judge Gray is. he too
must have chuckled at the pictures drawn
OF him by worshipful pencils.
But the summer is gone, and the summer
girl and the summer presidential candidate
have gone with it, Little DISCUSSES are put
aside and we come into the order of the
every day. Naturally, therefore these men
want it known that. SO far as they are
concerned. the comedy Is ended.
The play is done. The curtain drops,
Slow failing to the prOmpters belli
Why not The Society of the Mentioned" :?
1t is the day of fraternttes, in college life.
and in naval and military life. Why not
also in this way. in political life? Why not
an annual dinner, with appropriate toasts
and the recounting of personal experiences,
attended by those who have been men
toned for the presidency? What ripping
time that would be inaugural func-
ton, with Thomas F. Ryan. or August
Belmont in the chair, and the diners, all
in turn, relating the fiutterings of their
hearts when first they saw themselves
booked for the White House! The society
is the thing. Members would enjoy 1t and
the public be greatly entertained.

Brownsville.

1t would have been we'll had the national
convention of negro Baptsts omitted all
mention of the Brownsville matter The
question has become political and will fig
| ure in next years campaign, and may SAFE
ly be left to the politicians.
Leaders of religious thought among the
negroes have their hands full with that
subject The spiritual progress reported IS
gratifying to the friends of the race, and
1t will continue in all the healthier state II
the work is kept free from all entangle-
ments Churches and schools-and partlcu-
| larly schools rejecting the spirit of Tuske-
gee-will do for the negroes in their pres
ent condition what no other agency or
agencies could hope to accomplish Re-
| ligion and education therefore go well to-
gether. But politics Is another matter. and
should be kept to Itself.
That the negroes a race resent the
Presidents treatment of the colored troop
ers at Brownsville is well known. They
believe, as indeed many white men do. that
a battalion of white soldiers would not In
similar circumstances have been made to
feel his dspleasure so severely. The Presi-
dent has vigorously denied the charge but,
for all that the impression widely prev Ills.
and will show itself with increasing force
as next years presidential contest takes
shape
Secretary Taft's friends are not with
out appreciation of the issue as it ap-
plies to him. He has Endorsed the Presi-
dents course, and. what tells heavily
against him. he is a lawyer and should
have known the defects of the case from
the legal point of view. The Presidents
drum-head proceedings should have
caused a lawyer to halt. 1t was prob
ably the Secretary who suggested the
investigation the President ordered after
the execution of his mandate Of dis
mssal, but that served but to emphasize
the haste and injustice of the first or
der. which stripped the men of their
uniforms without a trial. and turned them
out into the world in disgrace TO shift
for themselves.
The convention, it will be observed, did
by indirection what was decided mad
visable by direction. In thanking Sem
ator Foraker for securing hearing for
the discharged troopers it covered the
whole case. If for that reason Mr.. Fora
ker deserved praise. the President by
the same token deserved censure, and
in that fashion the convention admins
tered it. But as already stated the mat
ter is now for the politicians, not the
churchmen. and they will attend 10 it.

Watson of Indiana.

The announcement that Mr. Watson VIII
retire from the House to run for Governor
OF Indiana may attract wide attention. He
has been reported as balancing two aspira-
tons, the one against the other. The speak
erShip Of the House and the gove-norship
a. his native state both attracted him.
Now that he has decided in favor of the
latter. are we to infer that the way to the
former is not promising? Does he see in
10 his minds eye Mr.. Cannon a member OF
the SiKty-trst Congress instead of President
az the United States and therefore booked
fog fourth term as Speaker? Mr.. Watson
and MIR Cannon are close friends. and each
wishes the other all possible success
