Americans and Europeans.
The dope-fends have some fashion
able customers as well as some poor,
deluded victim The utmost caution
is observed by the respectable "tiend'

sible, at present at least, to spot the

The female "fends" are occasionally
accompanied by male acquaintance.

A Reprehensible Practice.

The fatal result of an exhibition of
hypnotism which occurred day or
two ago has caused storm of pro-
test to sweep across this country
which bodies i'll for this class of per-
formers Hypnotism has been recog-
nized as a valuable adjunct of medi-
cal practice in some diseases, and
those who best know it's use declare
that its employment by other than
men thoroughly trained in the laws
of the mind, is not only pernicious, but
dangerous. The usual exhibition on
the stage consists of making the sub
ject do something that will cause a
laugh or inspire awe among the spec
tators. Thus the subject is either
ridiculous or he is subjected to muscu-
lar strain which is detrimental to his
health.
Further investigation of this latest
fatal case shows that the victim died
from a rupture near the heart and
that he had been indulging in intoXi-
eating liquors previous to his attend
ance at the performance. These two
things may save the professor from
the punishment he deserves. He
should have been able to ascertain
whether the subject was physically
capable to withstand the severe strain
of mind and body to which he was
about to subject him or he should not
have been in the business, Hypnotism
use should be restricted to competent
hands

The Cairo Lynchings.

The lynchings at Cairo, Illinois in
dicate that respect for law is not yet
sufficiently strong in that community
to prevent the violent overthrow OF
all organized and regularly constituted
authority The provocation to over
come the laws delay was extremely
great. The murder of the orphan girl,
Annie Policy, was most revolving IN
all it's details, and any man could not
helm but experience thrill of horror
and a desire for revenge. His ablll-
ty to stife this feeling is part OF
the foundation on which our law rests.
The fact that it was rot resisted or
that a sufficient number of the mem
bers of the community gave themselves
up to this carnival of lawlesSness is a
disgrace to Illinois.
The heroic efforts of the sheriff to
protect his prisoner until he could be
punished according to law, are COM
mendable, and he should not be blamed
for the disgraceful scenes which fol-
lowed bis defeat. The second lynchins
was simply the act of a mob tnirsting
for blood and utterly irresponsible.
The crime of which the victim was
accused was fully as brutal as was
the murder for which the negro paid
the penalty. There is little doubt that
both men were guilty, and that they
would have been punished in due time.
The courts of Illinois are not of such
a character that such men escape and
it would have been far better had the
mob stayed its hand.

public clear understanding of the

forth not the position of party, or

could have done this. No other Presi-

Onera for Everybody.

In the dedication of permanent
homes for opera in Boston and New
York, true art received a new impetus.
These temples of music and drama
have been erected for the purpose OF
preserving the finer things of life
and every effort will be made
to conduct them in spirit
of democracy to the end that
the lovers of the drama may be able
to enjoy it regardless of their station
in life. Social snobbery eXclusiveness
and rretence are to be resisted where
ever they appear. This is a most COM
mendable preamble to a declaration
of principles which guarantee to the
Iocers of true art the privilege of en-
loving it. We have been informed
tine and again that none but the
highly educated and the well-to-do
care for the better class of drama. but
this is proven to be untrue. One is
as likely to find lover of the drama
among the poor as he is among the

The best fruit OF President Taft's
swing around the circle is the quicken
ing of public interest in public affairs,
and that was the real reason for max
ing the journey. President Taft has
made ship subsidies, inland waterways,
the government of our insular possess
sions. and the conservation of our re-
sources. the principle topics of CONVEX
sation wherever men gather. Through
the skiliful presentation of these sub
jects in their proper sequence the tar
if has been relegated to it's rightful
position in national affairs, and other
equally important matters have been
brought to the front. Instead of con-
filming himself to one or two of the
current issues of the day President
Taft has Canvassed the whole range
of national activities. His speeches
