MOB VIOLENCE.

Discussing the tendency toward mob
violence IN the south-The Nashville
Tennesseean comes out in palmer Ian
guage than most southern pubiica-
tions, and says:
Since mob lawlessness was inaug-
urated in the SOUTH it has been merci-
lessly condemned by the press--with
the exception of one paper, which on
dorsed It; and It has been condemned,
also, by all educators, leaders of re-
ligious and political thought and by
influential men in every section and in
every walk of life.
But the mob spirit still survives,
and dominates our civilization" In
many localities, and, to all appear
pearances, is growing in strength
and popularity.
Fattened on the blood of brutes, ii
has grown SO brutal, in turn, that IL
has been compelled to enlarge it's
Jurisdiction to satisfy its cannibalis-
tic craving for more blood. Intended
originally, for black rapists alone. II
is now applied to white landlords
Because the hangers of negro rapists
have gone unwhipped of justice sc
long, the Reelfoot nightriders were
emboldened to apply mob law to mer
of their own color, and take chances
on escaping the halter through the
same influences that have served other
white necks that ought to have been
made to test the strength Of hem
pen rope.
And what has it accomplished-this
progressive mob law2 It's efforts tc
stop rape and other crimes by black
brutes have proved as futile as the
courts. Forty years of mob law have
utterly failed to Justify it's concep-
tions, or its past life, or to encour-
age its future existence. It stands
confessedly, as impotent as the courts

THE NEW GAME LAW.

North Dakota sportsmen are to be
congratulated on the new Hale game
law. The first shooting under the new
measure will be Sept. Z. At first some
of the real sportsmen-and a lot OF
others-objected because the law abol-
ished spring shooting. Many shooters
regarded this as a mistake and a cur
tailment of their rights and privileges
Already the wisdom of this feature
has been amply demonstrated by the
large amount of water fowl that has
made the state a breeding ground this
summer. In the olden days? both
geese and ducks were numerous, but
successive years of spring shooting
frightened away nearly all the water
fowl. This year the quiet conditions
about nesting time caused the birds
to remain in the state. Advices from
many lakes are that there are thous-
ands of young ducks and other water
fowl this summer.
There are many provisions in the law
that look toward more rigid enforce
ment. 1t will be more difficult for
the pot hunter to get in his work
These professional reprobates will be
to some extent put out Of the business
and there will be more real sport for
the man who observes the law.
The new game law not only means
better sport for sportsmen each year
but the preservation Of the game and
the perpetuation of the sport for the
future.

Boston, Aug. 1s-Both the scout

now being fitted at Charlestown with
what is declared to be the most
powerful wireless system yet devised
and, as soon as the apparatus is in

with the ships thousands of miles
apart and under all conditions of
weather In this test the battleship
Connecticut Rear Admiral Schroeder's
flagship, and the wireless station at
Brant Rock will also take part.
Although the orders have not been
given out yet, 1t is thought that the

will proceed to tropical seas. Anything
the test calls for the sending of mes
sages over a thousand miles under

Nurse Smallpox Cases.


Nurse Smallpox Cases.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. ia remarkable
petition for the pardon of a convict
serving life sentence for wife murder
has been forwarded to President Taft.
Thomas J.. Taylor, who killed his
wife in Washington fourteen years ago
is the man for whom clemency is
asked. and the petition is signed by
oficials OF the penitentiary and citi-
zens of Atlanta.
The main point on which the petit
tion Is based is that Taylor has been
sacrif1cing himself for his fellow con-
victs since his confinement During
the epidemic Of smallpox in the peni-
tentiary, 1t Is said Taylor risked his
life for those who were stricken.
Taylor killed his wife because he
found her with another man. He was
sentenced to be hanged. but Grover
Cleveland commuted his sentence to
life imprisonment.
