lynching of the three Steinback broth,
ers. 1t would have been far better, SO
far as respect for the law Is con
cerned, to have hanged the men in
the same old way without making
such a shameful mockery of it. The
District Court of Lake County would
have melted out the death penalty
to the Steinbacks and it was the prop.
er agent to do so, not a justice of the
peace.
That the law is not all-suficient for
the administration of due punishment
for every degree of crime is not, or
should not, furnish any sort of con
tention on the part or any class OF
white men, for the patent and sufi-
cient reason that it emanates from
and is interpreted and executed by
them.
To the crime of lynching was added
the crime Of sacrilege-the hanging
Of the men in the church, right in
front Of the pulpit. When men carry
their accursed audacity TO this extent,
some authority should bring itself to
bear to curb them sure and certain
ere the whole fabric OF government is
undermined and totters to its fall
The story Of Darkest Russia" dis
closes no more hideous doings in the
name of the law in the Land Of the
Bear than the unwarranted haste in
anticipating the law nthe case of the
Steinbacks. What was done in an I'M
lawful way could have been done with
better grace lawfully. If the law is
not the hope of all who suffer and the
dread of all who do wrong, then, in
the name of heaven and reason, what
it good or fit for? Put out the light
that streams from it, and all is chaos
and darkness and Americas boosted
Christian civilization is but a miser-
able farce-a mockery and a name.

thanks to the Giver of all good. Morn
ing services were observed in many
OF the churches, and this was as it
should be. While there have been ex-
periences in the lives of us all during
the past twelve months which did not
harmonic with our cherished hope,
yet we were the recipients of infin-

our finite view we considered disap-

deeply and sincerely grateful for the
thousands of favors that have been
ours.

FISK-MEHARRY GAME.

The great football game which oc-
ours annually between the rival teams
of the two well-known universities,
Walden and Fisk, was played on Ben
nett Field, Fisk's campus, before a
vast and magnificent concourse of peo-
pie Thursday afternoon. This game
always brings out the football enthu-
siasts and those who go because it is
in order to go. They were all there to
witness the game, as it was given out
that it would be the final annual
struggle upon the gridiron between
the two old rivals. The cohorts of
the Crimson and Black and the Gold
and Blue were present to give their
respective favorites their best and last
support, and cheer them on to victory.
1t was expected to be a trial between
Titans or a meeting Of Greek and Greek,
where tactical skill, fleetness and gen
eralship would be. pitted against each
other. And so it was. For while
Dame Fortune, it seems, was unde-
cided upon whom to bestow the need
of favor, but finally she stepped to the
side of the warriors of the Gold and
Blue and encircled their brows with
the wreath of victory Thus ended
the last and one of the greatest and
most stubborn football contests be-
tween these two teams ever witnessed
upon beautiful and historic Bennett
Field.

HOW LONG, O CATILINEP

Court to give legal semblance to
lynching of Negroes" is the heading of
an article in the evening paper of this
city, giving an account of the capture
and prospective, or rather certain,
lynching of the three Steinback
brothers who, in difficulty at a col
ored church Sunday night, November
%, shot and killed a deputy sheriff
and mortally wounded a man whom
he had deputized to assist him to ar
rest them for alleged disturbance of
the services at the church. After the
shooting the Stienbacks got away and
eluded capture until Tuesday NOR
ming. They were taken to Jail, not as
a matter of safety until they could be
legally tried by proper court, but as
precaution against the 'fun"-the
lynching bee, a fit adjunct to darkness
to hell-being spoiled by the too has
ty and overanxious ones before night
came on. A mock trial at five o'clock
before a justice of the peace was
promised the mob if they would be
patient and abide the time-this was
rank, miserable piece of procrasti-
mating subterfuge, mockery of the
rights of fair and impartial trial be-
fore a proper tribunal.
However guilty a man may be, his
cause shall be disposed of by due
process of law says the fundamental
law of State and Nation. Think of it.
Men being arrested, jailed, grand
jury impaneled, indictment returned

verdict reached, sentence of death
pronounced and executed, all in
twelve hours-from s a. m. to 8 p. m.
and that, too, before a justice of the
peace! Lovers of the orderly con-
duct and processes of law cannot but
have the same feelings that actuated
Cicero Rome's greatest legal expo
nent, when he exclaimed, "How long,
o Catiline, wilt thou abuse the law
and contemn justice? To what ex-
tent wilt thou carry thy audacity?"
1t is an apparent fact, as recent and
constantly recurring events fully
evidence, that If men are allowed to
trample upon the law that liberty
breeds in them maudlin sentiments
and an unbridled disrespect for it's
Wholesome restraint. No law-abiding
citizen countenances any form of
crime in any class or race, but the

ished by the law, rightly and justly

Representative Brownlow, familiar

the dispenser, it is said, at the polit-
ical pie counter for Tennessee. He is
personal friend of President-elect
Taft and had no qualms or hesitancy
about climbing into the Taft band
wagon at the first when the band be-
gan to play. Hale, Newell Sanders
and Evans must undergo the excruci-
ating ordeal of seeing their old arch
enemy Brownlow hand out the polit-
ical pudding. They will be held in
allegiance until he feels inclined to be
charitable enough, after his clansmen
have feed to the full to dispense
among their followers few of the re-

She Was Identified With Most
Substantial Improvements.

With her husband. Mrs. Amanda
Stonebraker. who died last week at her
home in Hagerstown, was identified
with almost every substantial I'M
provement Hagerstown has made in
half a century. The firm of Beck X
StOnebraker was one OF the wealthiest
and operated over a greater section of
country than any other firm III the
county at the time. An immense bus
mess in packing pork was carried on
here during the days of the White
Water canal and later the same firm
engaged in shipping grain and wool
and merchandise.

Traits Which Are Readily DISCLOSED

of any persons character by watching
him or her walk. For instance, if a
man walks with a heavy lift to his

that girl going down the street has a
pretty walk, gliding and quiet, but
watch out for her; she is treacherous

The man who puts his feet down

ing the road with quick, clean step
is energy personified. but he has the
sort of energy which has no regard for
the rights or feelings of others. The

LEE AND MCCLELLAN.
An Incident Of the First Meeting of
the Two Soldiers.

An Incident Of the First Meeting of
the Two Soldiers.
The first meeting between General
George Z. Mcclellan and General Rob
ert E. Lee happened in Mexico during
the war with that country. Mcclellan
was a lieutenant of engineers. and Lee
was a major on the staff of General
Winfield Scott
One day Mcclellan was walking
across a field when he saw General
Scott and his staff approaching on
horseback. AS they drew near Ma
jor Lee refined up his horse and asked
the lieutenant if he did not know
that he was disobeying orders. His
tone was sharp and angry. Mcclellan
answered that he was not aware Of
any disobedience and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. Lee replied that all officers
had been told to remain in their quar-
tiers, awaiting orders, and asked for
the lieutenant's name.
Mcclellan gave his name and said
that no order of that kind had reached
him. But Lee in a peremptory tone
ordered him to go to his quarters and
remain there. Then he rode off and
rejoined General Scott and the staff,
who had not stopped. Mcclellan went
to his quarters, us he had been directed
to do. but was quite indignant at the
way in which Lee had treated him, for
he had not knowingly committed a
breach of discipline
He had just finished telling his broth
er officers the incident when he was
informed that an officer was outside
the tent asking for him. On going out
he was much surprised to see Major
Lee who saluted him with respect.
Lieutenant Mcclellan the major
said. Il am afraid that l was not cour-
teous in my manner to You little
while ago, and l have called to apol
| ogize"
Il assured him that it was all right,
said General Mcclellan in telling the
story, land he rode off after making
a low bow, leaving me in admiration
of a superior officer who SO promptly
and generously repaired an error"

Few persons. probably. other than
those engaged in the pursuit of sci
ence, are aware that the Black sea
presents an interest of its own to the
zoologist and the geologist shared by
no other part of the ocean at the pres
,ent day.
Throughout the greater part OF the
ocean the bottom is the dwelling place
of a number of creatures whose bust
ness 1t is to consume the bodies of the
members of the surface fauna which
after death sink to the bottom. In the
Black sea, however. says the Field, ow-
ing to special geological events. such
scavengers are totally wanting over
the greater part of the bottom, so that
the carcasses of the creatures which
fall from above are left to decompose.

great as to poison the water from
