The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out COrbett

Prom the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the law,

weary the lighter, but il scientific man

The Canning Year.

This from a State exchange needs
no further comment or endorsement:
1t is against the law OF nature that
the abundant yield of orchard. vineyard
and field, such as the State is this year
blessed with, could be distributed over n
great length of time. The fruit must all
come in as it ripens and the. market
overflow with it, yet there need he no
cause for waste What cannot be- con
sumed now can he preserved for the
time when the markets are bare and
when it will taste as good as. il not bet
ter, than in the season Of the tree and
the vine. The art of canning has leen
reduced to simplicity and perfection and
now while the market wagons roll in
with their abundant loads the hou-eh old
cannery should be working full time.
The thrifty housewife can do much by
her own endeavors. II she has daugh-
ter to aid her, 50 much the better. The
fruit jar and the preserving can are com
paratively inexpensive, and every pan
try in the State ought to be well stocked
while the present opportunity il ut
hand.

Caution Should be Exercised in
Eating Canned Goods.

1t is not infrequently that you
hear or read of cases of ptomaine
poisoning as result of eating canned
goods. This sort of thing would
rarely occur, in all probability, ii
proper precaution was observed. In
the first place one should never allow
any canned goods to remain in the
can for a moment after it has been
opened. Turn the contents into a
china or glass receptacle and cover
it up. Otherwise you are courting a
case of poisoning. Some times the
goods may be spoiled, as in the case
of canned oysters, Holsters, or even
tomatoes or other vegetables con-
tanning acid, but this is of compara-
lively rare occurrence in cases where
the contents are eaten Immediately
and not allowed to stand in the tin
for any length of time after being
opened. The safest plan, however,
is to be careful what you eat and
not eat too much of any one thing.

Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
The rioting. lynching of negroes
and destruction of property in
Springfield. ILL.,, show that racial
antagonism in the United States is
not bounded by sectional and "e-
ographical lines. lllionois is n Re-
publican state, Georgia is n Demo
cratic state. Less than II year ago
Atlanta was the scene OF riOting.
! Negroes were lynched after series
OF crimes against women which stir
red the people of that Southern city
to their profoundest depths. But the
sober second thought of Atlanta
prevailed. The conservative and
law abiding South condemned the
excuses of mob rule, and the mob
was soon brought under control
The provocation was great, but
enlightened public opinion in the
South was no less Outspoken in de-
nouncing lawlessness in Atlanta than
was public opinion in other parts oi
the United States
1t is essential to the proper solu-
ton to the race problem in this coun-
try that Americans should divest
themselves of sectional and political
prejudices when there are manifesta-
tions of racial antipathy and out
breaks of mob violence. Since last
Friday evening the capital of Illinois
| has been the scene of mob violence
on a scale greater than that which
Atlanta witnessed two years ago. \
negro committed an atrOciouS crime
in Springfield. The result was an
upheaval-two negroes have been
lynched in retaliation-One OF them
a man more than so years old, who,
according to the dispatches, had
been guilty of no offense. A mob OF
5000 men established q reign OF
terror in Springfield. The torch was
applied freely in the negro quar-
ter. Lawlessness continued after the
Governor of Illinois had taken meas
ures to restore order by filling the
! city with State militiamen.
Southern white men who take the
law into their own hands do not go
to the extremes which have charac-
terized the outbreak in Illinois.
They do not, except in the case
of Atlanta, wreak vengeance in
Discriminatory upon the guilty and
the innocent black. They do not re-
sort to incendiarism. They do not
terrorize the city for 4S hours and
degenerate into a pilaging. destroy
ing mob. They act outside of the
law, it is true. But they go about
their law-breaking systematically
and in the spirit of men who are de-
Tending their homes from the worst
type OF criminal. They do not lynch
an octogenarian negro, as the mob
did in Springfield, merely from the
love of killing-the blood lust.
Hereafter let the virtuous Northern
! journalists who so dearly love to lec-
fure the Southern people about the
wickedness of lynch law, reserve their
homilies for application at home.
The Springfield outbreak demon
strates that politics and sectional
ism have no bearing on popular law
lessness i'm such cases as this.

important interview with Pres.
Roosevelt on woman suffrage.
In the DOM In which the inter.
view took place there hung pic
ture of Abraham Lincoln.
"As President Lincoln freed the
slaves" said Lady Cook, 80 you, in
your third term as president, will
free the women of this country"
II would like to do that" the
president returned, according to
Lady Cook, 'if you or any other
woman could convince me that
American women really want the
suffrage; but | am not sure that
the majority of our women want
IT," .'-.
To that Lady Cook returned:
you remembered, Mr.. President,
that some of the slaves did not
want freedom, but when Lincoln
achieved 1t for them they all rose
and called him blessed"
T. r, replied he was cognizant
of that fact.
