The Lincoln Memorial.

From the Scranton Truth.
There should be a great Lincoln me-
| mortal at Washington. The figure of
Abraham Lincoln looms large in Ameri-
can history, and its stature does not
diminish with the flight of time. Other
eminent men who have deserved well If
their country are more or less dtmmed
by the passing Of the years. but Abraham
Lincoln. like some great planet in space.
shines with even luster upon the pathway
of succeeding generations.
He Is as wildly remembered and as
reverently cherished today, forty three
years after his death, as when he walked
among men and guided the destinies of
this republic during the storm and stress
OF war. There is no diminution of the af-
lection in which he is held by the Ameri-
can people. He is fundamentally cherished
In their hearts, and fresh proof OF this
fact will be Forthcoming throughout the
land when the centenary of his birth is
observed next February.
A monument that will tittingly COM
memorate this great figure In American
history should have conspicuous place
at the nations capital. The Washington
Star is doing a patriotic service in urging
this matter upon the attention of the
country, and the Truth earnestly hopes
for the worthy fulfillment of the project.
OF Lincoln statues there Is no lack, but
We agree with our contemporary that
these do not adequately symbolic the
place which the great President holds in
the popular mind. There is need of some
splendid and striking architectural epic
that will express at a glance an idea of
what Lincoln was. what he wrought for
he nation and the undying regard In
which he is held by the people of the
United States.
Congress. at it's next session. should
vote ample funds for such Lincoln me-
mortal as will suitably commemorate his
worth and it should have place In the
most conspicuous and desirable spot at
tie National capital.

BrYau.

The New York World predicted num-
Der of times that if nominated Mr. Bryan
would be defeated. and then after he was
nominated supported him in order to
clinch the laurels of a prophet. Mr.. Bryan
is indifferent to predictions. Give him the
nomination, and let those who will pre-
dict. Just now we are hearing that the
peerless leader cannot be nominated in
1912 Little does Mr. Bryan care about
that prediction. He is the only demo-
cratic leader with an organization. and
his lieutenants are as perfectly in har-
mony with him now as they were before
last weeks election. And. taking their
cue from him. they are always busy.

Lawlessness.
From the New York Herald.

AS the judgment of a Southern news
paper on the Nashville tragedy thi.
strikes high and clear note. The shoot

the same class with the killing of Senator
Carmack. In both cases the aggressors
adopted the lynch law to avenge fanciec
or trivial wrongs. Americans may wei

Taggart.

Mr.. Taggart withdraws-gracefully. shall
it be said?-from the senatorial race in
Indiana He will never regret the step.
The Senate is not a suitable field for the
exercise OF his talents. That body has to
do with the discussion of constitutional
questions, the consideration Of treaties
with foreign governments. and the franz
ing of laws. and Mr.. Taggart as a MEM
Der would have been bored by such things
Other men OF his grade and tastes have
found seat in the Senate anything but

tured. In Mr.. Taggarts renunciat ton,

A Model Law Breaker.

| Peter Van Vlssingen of Chicago has set
| an example for all guilty men to follow.
After course of forgery extending over
| nearly twenty years and involving 500, 600
| he was finally detected. He confessed
and inside of four hours from his arrest
| he had been indicted. tried and sent to
prison to serve an indetermnate sentence
| of from one TO fourteen years. His
| course was wise one. His chances Of
ultimately escaping conviction in the
| event of a defense would have been very
slender, and his trial and appeals would
have cost heavily, besides prolonging his
exposure to public criticism. He has earn
ed some consideration by his acceptance
of the laws penalty and doubtless this
| fact will be taken into account in the de-
termination of his sentence.
If every guilty man were thus to con-
| fess his crime and throw himself on the
mercy of his judge the criminal courts
| would not only be relieved of congestion,
| but would often await idly for cases. In
| this Utopian condition society would need
| to amend its punitive processes. which
are now adjusted TO the theory that
| every lawbreaker disputes the charge
against him and falsfies in order to es-
cape punishment Even though Van Wis
| singens example is not generally follow
| ed, however. there remains an urgent need
| of modification in the prison systems of
| this country. The charge is brought that
the jails and penitentiaries are making
| instead of unmaking criminals, that they
are draining the body polite without con-
| tributing any return.
Idealists are preaching the doctrine of
brotherly love and urging the indiscrimi-
nate paroling of prisoners. More moder-
ate prison reformers consider the Van
Vlissingens as the model type of durable
criminal and recognize the necessity of
| holding in strict restraint the dangerous
classes, the inveterate enemies of society
| This is vitality important question,
which demands the most serious consid-
GRAFTON by legislators, administrators and
| judges. There is an enormous economic
waste In our penal institutions and the
problem of its prevention awaits solution
