AN Americans preparations for
~ the entertainment of a foreign
guest include everything but the
Strangers coffin.
That the services of an undertaken
would be required before the COM
pletion of his visit, must be a thought
that has occurred at least once to
almost every visitor to this country.
The brand of American hospitality
is a mixture of joy and pain. It is all
Joy till your head begins to ache from
not enough rest and more than
enough dinners.
Considering their physique and
their simpler methods of living, the
Japanese endure a trip of American
entertaining very we'll indeed. They
enjoy it too; for they always want to
come the second time.
The little Japanese who can be
strenuous as an American when he
will, does not order his own life at
taxicab speed. The taxicab versus
the rickshaw way of living is a sub
iect, l notice, that causes much con-
troversy in this country. While the
discussion goes on, l see that the
practice is all confined to the greatest
speed in everything.
The rickShaw way of living, of
course, does not produce long list
of multimillionaires, nor the same
ll-the-year-round lavish kind of en-
pertaining that seems always to be
everywhere in this country.
Time and Money the Elements

II two elements decidedly impress

money, money and time. These two
ghosts haunt the lives of every Amer
lean, women and men both. Every
American, whether you meet him on
his native soil or visitor in foreign
land, would seem to be making the
most of the fact that he has only one
life to live. The stranger wonders if

INDIRECT CAUSE OF LYNcHINOS.

Governor Deneen Of Illinois said Of
the lynchings at Cairo that they grew
out Of atrocious crimes that shocked
the community and that they indicated
a lack Of confidence In the outcome Of
criminal processes and sentiment
that In cases OF intolerable atrocity the
laws uncertainties and delays justify
recourse to mob violence Put with
this statement an assertion that was
made by New York paper recently:
More crimes Of violence, venality and
corruption 90 unpunished In New York
than In the whole Of Great Britain.
with ten times the population" The
law which should mean protection for
society and for the innocent fails Of
Its object. It has become . refuge for
wrongdoers. and 10 actually encour.
ages crime. In saying this we should.
Of course. take note Of the fact that
many crimes are committed without
thought Of the consequences. but In tho
long run q lax administration Of tho
law must have it, effect on the Grim.
inally disposed. and II 10 certain that
Ito influence 10 felt when lynchings are
advocated. They are often justified
by the suggestion that the criminal Ii
likely to escape with light punishment
or to 60 free altogether II he 10 not
dealt with summarily. We are not In
terested In justifying plea to pre-
vent lawbreaking by lawbreaking. but
the more horrible the acts Of the mob
the more imperatively does civilization
demand that we should seek . per.
manent preventive. something in add
tion to the immediate punishment OF
mob violence. That permanent pre-
ventive, as the governor says. Is the
Improvement OF our criminal juris'
prudence and greater certainty and
celebrity In its administration. II MUIR
derers were brought quickly to trial,
II the trials occupied a small fraction
of the time that Is now given to them.
II there were fewer loopholes for the
accused, this would probably not be
such notorious murder country, with
It's homicides exceeding 10000 a year,
against comparatively Insignificant
number In England, and mobs would
not undertake so often to do what the
courts fail to do. While we are dis.
cussing politics let us not forget the
subject of law reform, with all that 1t
implies as to crime and injustice.

ROOSEVELT, PRIVATE CITIZEN
His Experiences as Strap Hanger and

When Theodore Roosevelt started for

editor one day shortly after his arrival
at Oyster Bay he jumped on to q sur
face car on leaving the ferry at Thirty
fourth street, New York, and. fiuding
it crowded, hung to a strap Ike the
humolest of patrons of the traction
line. Nobody offered him a seat. and
had any one done so 1t would probably
have been declined, for in crossing the
ferry from Long Island City he stood
up In the crowd, only accepting a seat
for his companion, Miss Cornelia Lang
don, a friend Of his daughter Ethel. At
the residence of his brother-in-law,
Douglas Robinson, he met the Rev. DIR.
Lyman Abbott, editor in chief Of the
Outlook, with which the ex-president
now has an editorial connection. Colo
mel Roosevelt went with DIR. Abbott TO
the Outlook offices on Fourth avenue
and was introduced to some members
of the staff he had not met before. He
held a conference In a private office
whose door bears a sign reading; THE
Outlook Publishing Company. Offices
