Witnesses In Springfield Riot
Fail to Furnish Convincing
Testimony in Court
WITHDRhWAL OF THE TROOPS
NAY LOOSEN MOB RULE AGAIN
Frensied Negroes Cover in Barracks
or Flee From the City in Every Way
Possible, Fearing Another Outbreak
at Any Time.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 20-The To-
Cal authorities began today the task
of overcoming the handicap on their
efforts to fix the responsibility for
the Neent riot, caused by the failure
Of the coroner's inquest to hold any
one responsible for the death Of Scott
Burton, the negro lynched in the
'black belt" last Friday night. The
open verdict Of the coroner's jury
was blow to the hopes of the
states attorney and other offlcials
who saw in 1t confirmation Of the
suspicion that the witnesses to the
ricting would fail to recognize the
leaders Of the mob when called upon
to testify in the public proceedings.
OF the four witnesses upon whom
Coroner Woodruff had depended for
the success of his first riot inquest,
only one appeared on the stand. That
witness displayed an unusually poor
memory when confronted with Incl
sive questions and the absence Of the
other three made the coroner's task
difficult. This condition existed des-
pite the appeals of the commercial
that the law loving citizens volun-

riot and its leaders. There was a
generous response to these appeals
30. far as the secret grand jury pro-
ceedings are concerned but few .per-
sons seem willing to risk the enmity
Of the lawless element Of the COM
nlunity by appearing in the open as
tho defenders of the strict letter Of
tho law. The departure of all ex-
cept two regiments OF state militia
caused renewal Of the threats that
there would be something doing aft
er the soldiers leave" and this feel-
Ing was reflected in the. anxiety
which was manifest III afl circles of
the city. In fact renewal OF the
rioting is expected momentarily and
the negroes especially fear that once
the mob is started again no power of
the state can prevent the most serious
disorders.

 As temples where men bend the knee With fragrant flowers and esergreens To teach what love of country means.

MARTIAL MORTALS.
BY EDWIN A. NYH!
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye..

The human race is brave race.
It is proved by the fact that it con-
tinues to live. While it requires brav-
cry TO die, it requires more bravery to
live. And humanity is SO stout hearted
it fights the battle of life SO long as it
can fight Occasionally a tired. sick
hearted one surrenders, but he is the
exception.
Humanity is brave.
Men and women daily face conflicts
that might we'll daunt the intrepid
gods. Think you because they go
about with smiling faces there are no
tasks that test adj their fortitude, no
sorrows that must be courageousIy
borne?
Humanity is brave.
Here is one fighting to keep in sub
lection his lower nature. Think of the
duels he fights! Who knows the striv-
ings of his defeats, the gaIlantry of
his victories? He is brave man, as
brave as ever couched a lance in rest
against a foe. And here is one who
tackles the wild beasts in tbs arena OF
business competition and one who
struggles with a great sorrow.
Humanity is brave.
This woman faces poverty and limi-
tations, or anxiety, or pain, strain on
nerve or sympathy. An archangel
might well shudder to undertake the
whole gamut of suffering that comes
with wifehood and motherhood. And
there is no shrinking. Woman dies and
gives no sign. Woman lives and smiles
in the front of Fate!
Humanity is brave.
In this strenuous life of ours the real
men and women sleep each night as
the soldier sleeps-on the battlefield.
And reyeille wakes each martial NOR
tai to daily battle-some to fight the
good fight with hands and some with
brains and some with hearts. Look
about you. Is it not true? You may
even see some who are fighting with
broken sword.
Yes, humanity is brave.
But it needs to repeat daily the
prayer of Robert Louis Stevenson:
THE day returns and brings us the
round Of irritating concerns and du-
ties. Help us to play the man; help
US to perform them with laughter and
kind faces; let cheerfulness abound
with industry. Give US to go blithely
on our business all this day, bring us
to our resting place weary and content
and undiscovered and grant us In the
end the spirit of sleep. Amen"
