places where the pickpocket Is always
looking for plumber, and a mob" Of
four will often work together in such
crowd. A prosperous looking victim
is selected, and as he attempts to
board the car the four quickly sur
round him, with the artist" behind.
The confederate in front uses every
subterfuge to block the progress of the
victim until the coup has been brought
off, and while the men on each side
hem him in and distract his attention
with their hustling the man behind
helps himself from his pockets. 1t is
trick which rarely fails with cool, ex-
pert thieves, although amateurs. at the
game are often caught through lack of
nerve and quickness.
The "stall" or confederate will not
allow any one who has been chosen for
a victim to change his position until a
peculiar cluck tells him the trick has
been accomplished or unless there has
been an alarm from an outside source.
When more than one "stall" is used
the other men devote part of their at
tention to watching any Of the passen-
gers who may be inclined to suspect
mischief, and with their boot toe In

out fear of attracting the least atten-
ton. When such signal reaches the
tool" he will desist in his attempt at
plumber and, though he has never
turned his head to see who prevented
larceny. he will completely lull the
suspicious of the same individual by
his manner thereafter.
Generally speaking, the profits Of
pickpocketing are not worth the risk.
Occasionally thieves make good
haul, as in the case of the kings gar
den party already alluded to. but often
great risk is run to secure mans
pocketbook, for instance, only to find
that it is simply filed with cards and
memoranda.
Hard cash is what the pickpocket
likes to secure. For jewelry he can
only get about one-half of what it is
worth from the fence. while for watch
es he rarely gets more than one-fourth.
Consequently the professional pick
pocket must be Industrious to earn a
livelihood Louis Globe Democrat.

How the Artists, Model Happens"

Most of our models are not made;
they just happen. Girls, in most cases
of breeding and Intelligence. want to
make little money for some special
occasion. Some acquaintance recog-
nizes that they have distinction and
style and gives them the address of an
illustrator who happens to need just
such person. They pose once in this
way. more or less from necessity, find
they can make an Independent living
in congenial manner. and so come
again. In consequence the women who
pose for livelihood In New York are
exceedingly-ni as class. The prev
alent idea that the words artists
model" necessarily mean a highly

extreme. A first class artists model

rest and conviction Of the members
of the mob. Troops have been sent
to the scene of the murders and Gov
ernor Patterson has cancelled his
speaking engagements to devote his
personal attention to the chasing
down of the midnight murderers. But
what is to come of all these activities?
VIII any of the lynchers be properly
punished? We are of the opinion that
owing to fear of witnesses and the
public sentiment of the community in
which the crime was committed that
not a man will be convicted The
trouble is that Tennessee has temper
lied with the mob spirit too long. Ne
groes, equal in the sight of the law to
the white man killed at Walnut
Log, have been killed in various parts
of the state and no efforts have been
made to apprehend their murderers.
Night-rider atrocities have gone I'M
punished. Now, finding itself I'M
checked, lawlessness, unsatisfied with
Negro and hill billy" victims, has
claimed as it's sacrifice one of West
Tenuessee's leading lights.
We CLEAN no satisfaction from the
fact that white men have at last be-
gun to lynch each other" We deplore
the tragedy, But we do hope that
since the mob has reached the point
where it is no respecter of persons,
that the heavy hand of justice, which
should have been in service from the
incipiency of mob violence, will wipe
from Tennessee, once and for all, the
rule of the lawless elements.

The Globe is not democratic organ
nor is it the organ of the 81 wont hear

supporting the democratic candidate
for governor as a matter of principle.
For the same reason we are support

Globe believes that our race can be
best served-.as can any other race
by having an unpurchasable press, a
press that can not be swerved from it's
duty by the gibes of those who may
not agree with it. 1t worries us not
when those whose political education
has only reached "The republican par

grade, call us democrat" nor does it
disturb our equanimity when the radi-
cal Supporters of Mr. Bryan violently
denounce our support of Mr. Taft. The

SHALL WE BE MEN POLITICAL
LY?

For forty odd years the Negro has
been free. For a similar period of
time he has been entitled to the cleo
tive franchise. Likewise during the
intervening period, schools established
by our Northern friends and South
ern neighbors and friends have worked
industriously to lower our rate of il
literacy and teach us to think for our
selves With these forty years in
the wilderness" behind us, is it not
time that we should think for our
selves? Is it not time that we rise
above the place where a person can
look into the city directory and tell
the politics of every voter of the race?
Is it not time that we should exercise
our great intelligence" and wonder
full progress" so Discriminatory that
no candidate for Office will flippantly
and insultingly remark that men of
our race who refuse to support him do
so from their love of strong drink,
which he claims is stronger in the
breast of the Negro than the love for
his wife? In fine, has not the hour
arrived when we should cease to be
political children" as Mr.. Taft puts
it, and walk out as men. vote as our
consciences direct us whether that vote
be for the republicans, democrats, So
cialists, prohibitionists, or what not?

1t is further agreed that these de-
PENDANTS acting with others, had been
informed that in this case the specific
offense of rape had been committed,
and it is also agreed that they had
been informed that for an assault with
intent to commit rape the extreme pen
atty of the law was twenty years in
the penitentiary.
1t is further agreed that there was
a large crowd of men in Pulaski that
day from the section of the county
where the offense is said to have oc-
Cured, and excitement and feeling ran
high And defendants were further
informed that day that this Negro
Elmo Howard had previously been ac-
cused of the offense of rape on another
white woman.
The conduct of the defendants in

DEPLORABLE.

The night-rider raids, which are in
reality but revival of the Ubiquitous
Ku KluX Khan, a new name for a mob,
came to climax in this state when
a body of men, estimated at from
Sc to 225 lynched a prominent mem
Der of the state bar at Walnut Log,
on the banks of Reelfoot Lake. The
prominence of the murdered man DO
litically, socially and professionally,
and the utter disregard for the law
shown by the lynchers, have aroused
the forces of justice which have here.
tOfore, seemingly, winked at the muir
der of the more humble citizens of
the state.
The lynching was the result of the
legal fight between the fishermen of
the Reelfoot Lake district and the
land company which owns the lake
property. The contention of the fish
ermen that the lake should be open
to all who may desire to fish therein
is just one. 1t is out of harmony
with the free institutions of this coun-
try that its streams should be owned
or controlled by private monopolies,
But their method of accomplishing
their desires is the forerunner of an
archism.
Tennessee is aroused. A reward Of
$4,000 has been offered for the ar

A CONTRAST.

In striking contrast to the energetic
efforts to establish the supremacy of
the law in the Reelfoot Lake regions
is the ending of the trial for contempt
of court in the case of nine partici-
pants Of the mob, which lynched Elmo
Howard last May at Pulaski. The
judge of the local court instructed the
grand jury to indict the participants
of the mob for murder The grand
jury having failed to follow his in
structions, the judge had nine men ar
rested On bench warrants for contempt
of court.
The defendants went to trial on the
following agreed statement of facts

Der Term, 1908, Contempt-ln this

saying that Taft has an excellent

Taft tells his southern friends that
if a man carries them in his pocket
and they make no trouble that they
are not likely to receive very much
consideration. Evidently the Negro
and the labor vote caused our candi-
