A coon PHRASE.

To Governor Guild, of Massachusetts. is due the credit of coining a new and highly expressive phrase. When he was importuned to pardon the no- torious outlaw and criminal Jesse Pom eroy. he said;
 I would as soon think of loosing a mad wolf as this murderer. whose heinous crimes were of character which in certain sections of the coun.. try semetimss Rr1yekesM moeS S,,sstta sna cares neither for lynch executions nor for lynch pardons
 It is mistaken kindness that would ask for the pardon of such criminal as this; mistaken, because, although 1t might be a kindness to the criminal himself. and perhaps to few others. 1t might be dangerous to the general public. The quality of mercy is not strained" the poet tells us. but mercy should always be tempered with jus tiee. If a person has been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned then both neNCy anu JNeNtNN EtN@A sNA hA@ p"A ANSN' but if his conviction was just and proper. then 1t were better to let mercy give way to justice. lest in be- ing mereiful to convict the executive may be unjust to many.
 The expression. lynch pardons.' is something more than a mere catch phrase. When a Governor pardons and turns loose upon a community noto- rious and dangerous criminal, justice, as The Brooklyn Eagle phrases 1t, lis as surely lynehed as when an angry mob burns some victim at the stake" TLat is true. and the dangerous fea- ture of it is that Governor is easy" and that he may be induced or influ- enced to pardon other criminals; fin short. if he Issues one lynch pardon why should he not issue others? It Is well for a State when 1t has a Gov ernor who will not allow sympathy to run away with justice and right.

STILL LONGER SHIPS.

The Brooklyn Eagle has information to the effect that one of the largest ship building firms of that city is pre- pairing to build alips or docks suffi- eientIy long to accommodate much larger vessels than any now in exist enee. The Eagle takes this as an i'm dication that ships of at least one thousand feet in length may be ex- pected soon. The two largest vessels now on the waters are the Mauritania and the Lusitania, of the White Star lire, both of which are slightly over eight hundred feet in length. If a vessel two hundred feet longer should be constructed 1t Is said that there Is no dock that would accommo odate 1t; hence The Eagle thinks the proposal to build longer docks at Belfast is an indication that the 1,ooo-foot ship is coming.
 Reading of these things leads one to wonder if there is to be any limit to the size and length of ships, unleSa

 s.For one precedent. at least" says The Hartford Times, "the Roosevelt administration is clearly entitled to the credit. The use of government vessel aa a private yacht by the Pres idantiai family was never tolerated, or even attempted. by any previous ad- mlniasration. President Grant and others made good deal of use of the small craft that were available before the days of palatiai yachts cme in with the spanish war; but none of them ever sent their families to sea on long trips st government expense. It Is an nonnced that Mrs. Roosevelt Is to make . cruise of several weeks in the Gulf Of Mexico and the West Indies. using the beautiful MRyfiower, which has been known as the Presidents yacht for the past seven years. No foreign queen is more sumptuously housed at inc public expense than Is the wife of the American President who Is said by his friends to be chased as amons the greatest of reformers."

 If Mr. Taft were to secure the Re- publican nomination. contingency which has been effsctiveiy provided Democratic candidate. whether Hearst or Bryan. would win. We mention Hearst because of that gentleman's act ivities and because he has inaugurated for his party a new national policy of conservatism and of condemnation Of the insane socialistic and lawless pro- clivities of Roosevelt and Bryan. More over, Mir. Hearst's denunciation of boy cotting, as criminal and un-AmerIcan. the studied respect with which he re- ceives the recent decisions of the Su- preme Court, and his apparent condem- nation of privilege as the right or an- panage Of any special class have at tracted marked and favorable attention throughout the country, and are un- factor at Denver. Just at present he Is the only fgure in the held to divide discussion with Mir. Bryan, and the in- terest he inspires will increase rather than diminish from this time onward. Besides. 1t may be that Mir. Hearst's personal or moral character. being su- perior to that of Mir. Bryan, hts aaso- citation of himself with ideas of con- stitutional import may prove to have . widespread and far-reaching influence.
 Speaking of our State. we record our conviction that no Republican candi- date, and we particularly include Mfr. Roosevelt himself, can carry t against that may be placed in nomination at Denver. There are mighty and rAvolu- tionary changes operating In the poltt- teal Landscape.

Evidently the spirit of progress now co rampant in most parts of the Union has not penetrated up to the Maine city or town of Bar Harbor. Something ike fifteen years ago the town au' thorities barred bicycles from the prin- cipal streets. When automobiles came into the game Bar Harbor barred them out and refused to allow one of them on the public streets.

A NMw rnMoRy.

AS an indication of how far a-ncld on material subjects people may wan der when they depart from the plata language of the Bible. we copy these lueubrations of The indianapolis star:
 A Tennessee negro editor professes to have discovered that his race ante dates the whites. Adams hfst wife, sss ss ssys sana ns sas ro sSis wSs Snes the negroes descended Where he gets this intsssst!ng infornnation is not sasssr sssss0ns s ass s ss a%aa Is a blonde lady of avery bad disposition was the ifst wife. At least she came on the scene before Eve arrived. She was sns tns .s Srses wos % s ssh U nsr sas bands authority, and left paradise for and uncharted region of the air which she is stiil supposed to haunt Her children were demons. Of course, ,t is possible that Eve was number three or even four. but this thought verges so closely on reflection upon Adams moral character that 1t Is perhaps not wise te pursue it, If the negroes can then they certainly have "first fam fly" record that will make large and fiourishing genealogical tree '.
 The mythical story of Lilith has sur vived the ages and travelled through many tongues. Just how and where 1t had its origin Is not so material as Is the fact that the belief is enter tained by so many people. The be- lief Is that Adam found wife some where before Eve was given him by the Almighty and that she proved to be an unsatisfactory and had sort Of com panion. where he found her, and what tribe or people she belonged to makes little difference. but the old myth. as The Star says, removes her from among human beings and lands--or airs--her out of his way.
 We, too. are somewhat curious to know whence the Tennessee negro ed- itor obtained his theory about the ne- gro descent. Even admitting that Adam, was of Mormon proclivities. and that he went about marrying women somewhat promiscuousiy, it leaves us in the dark. What we want to find out is where he found this dark-skinned woman. If the Darwinian theory Is q correct one we may assume that . race of people had come up by evolution. and that Adam. feeling lonesome af- ter Liiith's Assertion of him. rambied out among these evolutors and took . wife from among them. Even then. if Adam was a white man. as we be- Iievs, and the woman was merely dark skinned. we dc not see how their de- seendants could have been real ne- groes. Possibly they ''evoluted" back wards.
 All these speculations. as bsfore re- marked. show how peoples minds will wander in the mases of speculation and uncertainty when they depart from the plain Mosaic narFatiye. The Bible gives a practically straight and con nectAd account of human origin, and we must either take It as 1t reads or discard 1t and fnd ourselves entirely at sea. The tennessee negro is as safe in asserting his theory .ae are some other dreamers. because 1t can neither be proven nor disproven.
