JUDGE WELLS AND OTHERS.

There seems to be no probability
that the ill-advised action of the eX-
ecutive committee of the Planters
Protective association OF Galloway
county in adopting resolutions charg-
ing Judge Wells with holding the as
ISOLATION responsible for rioting will
result otherwise than in the embar-
rassment of the association. 1t would
have been wise to table the resolution
even IL it had been true, and had been
demonstrate that Judge Wells was
guilty of the charge preferred, and L
whether he was guilty OF anything
more than having used his best ef-
forts to persuade the chairman Of the
county association to make a public
statement cOndemnmg night riding.
The fact that looms large in Gallo
way Is that Judge Wells has been
right in this controversy and his de-
tractors and assailants wrong. While
others aided or abetted OF cOunieyed
a, and encouraged disorder. he struck
htTdi SNL from ln+ SuOulurI III ODrul-
ence to his oath and his sense Of duty
as an officer OF the law. His record
lifts him above the reach OF the crit
icism Of men who did not act ener-
getically for the enforcement Of the
law-howeyer free fro mcOnnection
with the innocent OF advocacy Of night
Iriding-and efforts TO injure him b.
the adoption OF condemnatOry resolu-
tons will react upon the orlginatOrs
OF the resolutions. There can be no
doubt that many members Of the
Planters Protective association were
upon Judge wells side Of the argu-
ment when he sought TO enlist the
services OF the association by APP
preaching the chairman OF the execu-
tive committee and asking him to is
sue statement calling upon the mem
bers OF the body TO stand for law and
order. The Logical result against him
within the association will be TO
strengthen his position with the law
abiding members.-Courier-J Journal.

HEROES AND HERO MEDALS.

We have often thought Andy Car
|negie gives libraries and established
a hero fund, because he wishes his
name to be written in stone across
the face of many buildings and his
name in bronze to be tackled on the
breast of many people, which is a
good way to be remembered, IL one
has the money to pay for it. There
are two absurdities about the hero
fund business: Heroes don't do
things for reward; and II they did a
bronze medal and $500 would hardly
be considered commensurate with
the risk demanded to win them.
People may be stimulated to play
cards better or to cheat by being
offered a prize for the most games,
but hardly to save lives.
Heroism is something that lies
within the heart, that is not TO be
measured by hero fund commissions.
1t belongs to the higher man; IL is
something that would be cheapened
and disgraced with any kind OF pen
dant that can be bought with money.
Heroism means sacrifice without
hope or possibility of reward. II
means more than mere risk. The
real hero is the man, who when it is
the choice between his life and an
others, gives his own. There is an
element of reckless courage, precipl-
tate and glorious, but no more COM
mendable than the more deliberate
kind that weighs risks and then acts
as unselfshly, that will win all the
Carnegie medals-and IL man
wants the decoration he deserves IL.
But don't let US forget the girl or
boy, who forgoes a grand ambition
to take care of his parents, or the
friend who contracts a deadly dis
ease to help a friend, or the mission
airy who expends magnificent talents
in the heart of the jungle. when he
might have won paudits in the capt.
tails OF the world These will never
wear Carnegie hero medals They
would be insulted by the offer Of one.
