and read the history Of the lower sections
OF the same continent. The war, between
Russia and Japan focused the eye OF the
observant newspaper reader upon q pre-

was often said in 1893 that Admiral

its most serious drawback, and IL now

connection that until the Wrights set of

try to a fixed destination over a distance
Of several hundreds Of miles they can
not be regarded as having solved the
problem Of human flight without the aid
OF the gas bag. 1t was obviously i'm
possible for them to do this as long as
they were forced to rely upon a derrick
to give them their starting impulses. The
true aeroplane OF practical use must find
its own stopping point and utilize its
own power for resuning flight. and in
the light Of what the Wright machine
has accomplished up to date. while in the

an instance. the expedition Of Mr. Roose-
welt to Africa to hunt big game For
some time past the popular interest in
this enterprise has been keen owing to the
mans great personal popularity and also

The newspapers have met q demand for
information regarding the scene OF his
prospective hunting trip with numerous
descriptive articles. Africa has been writ

trations have been printed by the hun

as short time ago the name Mombasa
was as unfamiliar to the average man as
Zamboansa, IL is now as well known as
oyster Bay. The whole of the eastern
central part OF Africa is spread forth in
the public's mental vision as a clearly
drawn picture, and the progress Of the
distinguished .'faunal naturalist" will be
traced from stage TO stage with intelli-

The net result OF this expedition will be

A Model LynchinE.

In the little Oklahoman town Of Ada

there was pulled of yesterday an al
most ideal lynching. 1t was so complete
In its appointments and SO successful
In execution 1t almost suggests re-
hearsal The only victims were the four
prisoners sought. and the only other
person to suffer Inconvenience was the
Jail guard. He got a thump on the
head with the butt end OF a pistol, and
the future proceedings interested him
no more.
Note the acts Of the drama and the
dramatis personae. and how everything
squared with the unities Of picturesque
and first-class violence as we have come
to know and almost approve 1t in this
country.
Act 1. The mob assemblies, composed
in the main and in it's leadership Of the
better class of citizens. All are dis
gusted with the way justice has been
administered In the community by Of
flcials they have helped commission.
Argument: The proper way to secure
justice Is to abolish the law.
Act II. The mob moves upon the Jail
where the prisoners are confined. An
officer Of the court checks 1t for a
moment with an appeal for the law. The
law be dashed! Time for talk has passed
Time for action has arrived. Forward
march! The mob expects every member
to do his duty.
Act Ill, The jail h reached. A solitary
guard Is on duty. He does his duty. but
what Is one man against two hundred?
All possible for him Is to refuse to assist
them. and that costs him a whack over
the head. When he RECEIVERS his prisoners
are gone. and he easily guesses the rest.
Act Nv. The jail door yields and the
prisoners are reached. The leader Of the
quartet-a bad man from Texas named
Miller-speaks for self and colleagues.
No whining. no begging. An ideal bad
man confronts his captors. He knows
their errand. and bids them do their
worst. He prepares calmly for death. He
detaches jewel from his shirt front for
his wife. and another from his scarf for
the jail guard. who has been kind to him.
VIII the gentlemen kindly see that the
presents are delivered?
Act v. The nooses are adjusted, and
the prisoners are ohoisted. No unneces-
sary noises. No unseemly demonstrations
The play is done; the curtain drops.
Slow falling to the promptsrs bell

The remedy? Ask the pulpit, with it's

hunt down the law-breakers. Ask the
newspapers. with their record Of ten
thousand editorials pointing out the dan

Democracy and the Income Tax.

Some surprise is expressed at the
strength of democratic support in the
Senate for the income tax proposition
when unanimity proved impossible in the
democratic caucus on any general line OF
opposition to the Payne bill.
Why? Has II been forgotten that the
income tax proposition as incorporated
into the Gorman-W Wilson bill received on
the final passage of the bill but one demo-
cratic vote in opposition? David B. Hill
voted in the negative. He did not like
the bill any too we'll before the income
tax was pressed but after that he de-
clared war. and addressed the Senate
during the greater part Of two days.
dwelling principally on the constitutional
question involved, but not neglectIng the
politics Of the proposition.
His legal argument aroused the deepest
interest among the lawyers of the Senate
on both sides Of the chamber. Mr.. Pugh
was chairman of the judiciary committee
and Coke Of Texas. George Of Mississippi.
Villas Of Wisconsin and Lindsay OF Ken
lucky were majority members. The MI
nority of the committee was composed of
Hoar. Wilson of Iowa. Teller of Colorado,
Platt OF Connecticut and Mitchell Of Ore
gon All of them gave the most marked
atten,iou. Mr.. Hoar gave up jingling his
bunch of keys-a sure sign of his interes.
i'm subject-and followed the New York
senator TO the very end.
Prophetic as Mr.. Hill was as q lawyer
on that occasion-the Supreme Court sus-
tanned the constitutional point he raised
he was even more widely prophetic in his
conversations of the day as a politician.
He told his party friends that the income
tax proposition in the time Of peace was
not democratic. but populistic. And
said he. III you give In to populism on
that. you'll soon give in on other scores,
and there'll be q surrender to populism
all along the line"
Two years later. Mr.. Bryan. whom east
ern democrats generally denounced az q
populist. was nominated for President on
platform no more acceptable In the
east than the candidate: and since then
the populist tide has risen % high In the
democratic domain that the New York
World. with pathetic patience. keeps
standing In Its columns the question,
What is a democrat? Mr.. Hill foresaw
this confusion fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Bailey differs with Mr.. Hill on both
points. He does not consider an income
tax unconstitutional. and he does not con-
slider 1t populistic. He IL preparing both
as lawyer and politician to take the
floor in the Senate In support Of his
amendment to the Payne bill. He IL
going to buck the Supreme Court on the
constitutional proposition. and tho east
ern democracy OF tho Hill school on the
political phase Of the tax. His speech IL
certain to be heard BY q crowded house.
1t may prove. indeed, the feature OF the
Senate debate. The topic IL very much
alive. and Mr.. Bailey has both the abil-
ity and the audacity to develop it In all
of it's parts.

The Relic in It's Shrine.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Danger of injury is not the strongest
objection to sending the liberty hell
across the continent. That is to be con-
sidered. but there are reasons enough
why the bell should stay at home with
out imagining possible perils. 1t should
stay at home because 1t belongs here.
It derives its significance from its asso-
citation with the old state house. where
it should remain enshrined. People come
from all parts Of the world to visit Inde-
pendence Hail. They have heard OF the
old bell and look for it there. The shrine
OF liberty seems to have lost one Of Its
Jewels when the bell is not there. To take
it away is to desecrate this national sane
tuary. There Is scarcely more reason for
lending out the bell for exhibitions else
where than there would be for a SINH
lar misuse Of the table on which the
Declaration was signed or any similar
object Of patriotic interest. Their inter-
est comes from and belongs to the place.
