'Our camp was OH the top of the

entered into the spirit of our campaign
with great energy The crater sup
piled us with heat equal to that Of Il

vents, the steam registering about
1000 degrees.
Mrs. Hovey insisted upon accom-

journeys. We went to the cone OF
Mount Pelee, and danger attended the,
climb. as the slope is covered with
loose stones and rocks. Around the
cone revolves 4 constant gale.
The volcano has been steadily de-
creasing in activity since 1902, and this
has encouraged the natives to fresh eff

All these things have to be taken

RESPONSIBILITY OF puBL,cI1M

lIewsgatherers almost invariably
make every effort to discover and state
facts accurately. That is one of the
res possibilities of public news service
which nearly every person engaged
in that pursuit fully realizes and at
tenipts to meet. There is another. how
ever that seems sometimes forgotten
AMI should be remembered. 1t is not
entirely sufficient to be accurate. 1t is
wise often to use judgment as to what
should and should not be printed How
ever this responsibility rests more on
Hhe. editor of the news than on the
man who gathers it.
At Colfax crime against a ten-year-
Ole. girl has stirred the citizens to
frenzy. The newspapers have in
formed us that there is serious danger
of lynching when the perpetrator is
caught. In fact there is scarcely an
infamous crime reported that the report
does not forecast the possibility of mob
VTOleIce. II rs ITO uounl TRUE I'll tile
Colfax case, and is just as true that
the possibility of lynching exists wfer-
ever mems passions are inf1amed to
the highest pitch by heinous crime. But
is it wise for the newspaper, which
comes to every hand hot upon the
commission of the crime. to suggest
the possibility or to establish the fact
that a general sentiment exists in favor
of lynching the criminal?
People demand the news. They de-
sire to know whether or not lynching
Is likely. In cases like the one at Coll
fas: the story of the crime suggests to
the reader that a nucleus of organiza-
ton. a leader, is all. that is necessary
to bring about another tragedy. "A
spark in powder magazine is not
more likely to cause explosion than the

community thru generation. Witness

tally against womanhood, calls for sud-
der and condign action on the part of
the populace. It's a serious condition.
How much of it ought we to print? ?

STRANGE FAMILY COMPACT.

Make a Financial Agreement.

Though Entirely Harmonious, Couple
Make Financial Agreement.
Lake Forest society was given a
surprise the other day when two wide
~ known residents of the Chicago
suburb filed for record compact
which in other cases might be ex-
pected to accompany proceedings for
legal separation. But in their case it
is nothing of the sort.
The persons involved are Henry Cor
don Strong and Mrs. Margaret Hub
bard Strong. Mr.. Strong is son of
General Henry Strong and member
of the Chicago Union League and On
wentsia clubs.
BY the terms of the compact, which
was placed on record, Mr.. and Mrs.
Strong both release all dover or in
heritance rights from each other. while
Mr.. Strong agrees to pay his wife $4,000
q year for the first ten years after July
l, 1908; $500 a year for the second
ten years and thereafter $1,000 a year
until death.
Mr. Strong declared that the arrange
ment was to facilitate" his wife's
financial affairs. He said that Mrs.
Strong goes to Europe alone frequent
ly and that he desired her ito be able
to manage her own affairs and not be
left utterly helpless"
The agreement provides that pay
merits shall not be Cancelled by the
death of Mr.. Strong. but shall continue
an obligation on his estate. They shall
cease in the event Of the death of Mrs.
Strong.

THE LAST OF THE GUN FIGHTERS.

Politics is still politics in Tennessee.
"A United States senator is dead and
his antagonist wounded as the result
of street fight with pistols. Senator
Ca.'mack was an editor, the other man
the subject of the severe editorial
criticism and savage attack that OBJ
taiils in the south. They met and shot
the quarrel to final conclusion.

fcrlty down south" The leading poll
ticians were set against each other as
cocks in pit, while their partisans
looked on at a personal battle, which
represented that between factions and
parties. In the old days of the duello
they met with ceremony and killed
eeach other according to code. Later
when dueling. had been abolished they
shot each other in the market places
and slashed one another to death on
the streets. Cassius NJ. Clay, once the
idol of northern sentiment, was a
killer of repute, a gun fighter and an
expert with the murderous bowie He
had his killings to his credit. Few
men of public spirit and political pre-
em.nence in that section but carried
his own scars and inflicted others.
