POLITICS TO BLAME
President of Indiana UNIVERSE
ty Says This Is Cause
Of LynChingS.
JUSTICE is THROTTLED.

Bloomington, Ind, Feb. ll.-"Lynch
law is corrupt politics." was the state
ment of William l.. Bryan. president
Of Indiana university in a lecture to
law students here. There are two
places where these atrocities are com
mitted. One place is in primitive
unciviliZed communities and the 9th
er in civilized communities where I'M
scrupulous men have control. In our
country lynch law is always the result
of politics. Vicious men so throttle
justice that the innocent are often pun
ished and the guilty go free. 1t is
then that the citizens arise in their
might and take justice into their own
hands.
President Bryan had statistics at
hand to emphasize his points. He
told of one instance in the northern
part of Indiana where a tramp had
committed criminal assault on lit
tie girl and within thirty-siX hours
had been sentenced to imprisonment
for life.
If that had been done in some parts
of southern Indiana or kentucky the
man probably would have been lynch

ton and quicker justice are the two
chief remedies for lynch law which |
think would prove effective"

CHARING CROSS.
History of This Ancient Landmark
OF London.

In reading English history you will
happen across numerous references to
CharinE Cross. but the chances are you
will wonder if the uIlusion is to "A real
cross erected as a memorial or simply
a Crossroad. Charing Cross was for
merry one of the noted landmarks of
Britain, and its history is an follows:
Iu November of the year 1921 Good
Queen Eleanor" as she was termed by
her loyal subjects. was called to join
her husband, who was then making an
expedition into Scotland. When Flea
nor had got as far on her way as
Grantham she sickened and died.
The remains must of course, be bur
led at Westminster. and the funeral
cortcge started in that direction
During the time this royal funeral
procession was slowly winding its
weary way toward the capital thou

event in the history OF the rural dis
tricts, and they did everything possible
to make the solemn occasion a mem
orable one Wherever the procession
halted for the night or for other cause
the people afterward set up a memorial
One of the longest stops was made at
Charing. and subsequently, richly
carved memorial cross was erected on
the site Of the camp. This was the
Charing Cross of history. 1t stood IN
til 1G47, when the last vestige OF it was
destroyed during the civil wars OF
Charles l., the vandals who destroyed
the relic claiming il to be a monument
of popish superstition. Charing Cross
as seen today was erected by the
Southern Railway company in the year
1865.

THE OPERA.
1t Appears to Have Originated In Italy
In the Year 1900.

1t Appears to Have Originated In Italy
In the Year 1900.
The way Streatfeild, author of The
Opera" traces the development Of op-
era through the centuries is most clear
and concise and leaves you with the
impression that upon the matter of
history, at any rate. he is master of
his subject. Opera. 1t is shown, was
the result of an attempt made by
some Florentine amateurs to revive
the lost glories of Greek tragedy. They
failed to get back to the conditions Of
A thenian drama. but in failing they
1nconsciOusly laid the foundations of
a new art form which soon worked
itself into the affections of the pCo-
pie. The beginnings of opera might
be said to date from the year 1900.
when a public performance was given
in Florence of Peri's "EuridiCe" In
honor of the marriage of Maria de
Medici and Henry ". of France. This
work consists almost entirely of ac-
companied recitative. which was the
invention Of these FIorentine REFORM
ers, and the voices were acc0mpa MED
by violin. chitarone IA large guitar.
Ira grande. Into crosse and gravicem-

verde, who was a contemporary OF
Peri. but whose first opera was pro
duced some seven years after "Eurid-
ice" made a similar effort to recon
Gle music with speech, and many
years after Gluck and still later Wag-
ner tried to do SO. and it IS amusing
when one knows how far in other di-
rections music as an art and opera as
a convention have progressed since
1000 to think that Old Peri was prob
ably closer to the DebusSys and Rey-
naldo Hahns of our day than all the

Of the removal of Dr.. VanDewalker

The officers who are entering on their
second terms are. S. w. Ireland, county
clerk; G. F. Guthrie, register of deeds;

Thomas. county superintendent. the latter 5
second term beginning in May instead Of
January. Commissioner Riley Lake en-
tiers on his third term as commissioner of
the third district. He was reelected
without opposition.
The political complexion of the county
officers, after the new county treasurer is
installed. includngcommissioners and rep
resentative. is nine republicans and FIVE
democrats. Until Treasurer-elect Groen-
dycke takes his Office. Judge Garrison
will really be the only democrat with
permanent headquarters in the court
house, as County Attorney Field will
maintain his present Offices in the Citizens
bank building. We sympathize with
Judge Garrison 10 his unhealthy political
surroundings but we can guarantee the
Barber county democracy that he will
continue IN the straight and narrow path.
