Pennsylvanian Protested Against
Reconstruction Methods.
From the Birmingham News
Col. Mcclure was among the first %
recognize the possibilities anG value OF
the natural resources OF Alabama's min
eral field. Away back IN the los, when
he was protesting against the bur
dens and injustice Of the reconstruction
methods and practices against the South
and contending for fair play toward this
section. he told the world OF the riches
Of this district. and emphasized its i'm
portance as a field for Industrial develop
ment. Il was largely through his con-
hdence in the district and through the IN
teIligent predictions from his pen that
the attention OF the financial world was
attracted hither. Re was always a friend
OF Birmingham. and he contributed gen
erously 70 the partial realization OF its
great possibilities
Col Mcclure was a commanding figure
IN public life and in Journalism for more
than thirty years. His influence for. good
IN espoUsing the cause Of the South while
struggling under the hardshlps OF recon
struction gave him a warm place il the
hearts OF the Southern people. many OF
whom knew him personally. and thou
sands OF whom took occasion 20 express
their gratitude 20 him on his tour through
this section a short while ago. The an
nouncement Of his death IS q source OF
genuine regret ali over the South.

A Tramp of AffectatiOn.

4 constant peril IN sociology. especially
in amateur efforts 10 illuminate obscure
problems. lies in the drawing OF general
conclusions from individual experience.
Thus the elements Of the personal eQua-
ton are plainly present IN the narrative
Of a tramp in England, whose truthful
ness is guaranteed by a well-known
author. personally acquainted with the
facts. The tale Is that Of a wandering
lad, whose chief claim 10 sympathy seems
TO be a commendable determination not
TO drink intoxicants. The burden Of his
plant is that chance companions were
always ready with invitations to way
side taprooms. but would never say:
Come along and have A bite" He
found it easy to get the beer that he
refused. but hard to get the work that
he sought
Quite uneonseiously this pilgrim OF
starvation discioses the patent cause of
the rebuns he encountered in his alleged
search for work. Whether through habit
or aftectation. this particular tramp was
a bookworm. As he preferred the printed
page in privacy to the spoken word OF
the tap-oom. so he sought rough labor
with the demeanor Of the student rather
than with the readiness OF the willing
toiIer. II is little wonder that those TO
whom he applied for work turned him
away with such remarks as, There's
something queer about you. or You look
like a gentleman and you ask laborer's
job at sixteen bob a week" This i'm
preston Is strengthened by the wall thai
his "boyish dreams Of high endeavor and
noble achievement" were thus rudelv
knocked in the head.
There is sniveling snobbery In this
tale that reyolts sympathy. What SEN
sibie farmer would offer anything 50 rude
as work TO the wayfarer who approached
with eyes fixed. upon a book. whether
novel or learned treatise? The literary
tramp. whether he scorns beer or not. is
an undesirable citizen. He is obviously
untitled to dig, even If he be not ashamed
TO beg. He turns up his nose at the
workhouse. and he is plainly united 10
bend his back in the potato field. He Is
q misft. he advertises his own unhtness
with an offensive exhibition Of false
pride. and yet he walls because he IS not

The Logical End of Lynch Law.

The trouble with the lyneher IS that he
keeps his every apologist forever fashion
ing fresh excuses for Illegal executions
Of criminals OF suspected criminals. That
is to say. that is one trouble with him
one among many.
The logical end Of lynch law is con-
tempt for all law and reckless disregard
OF it entirely and in all forms. A negro
was recently taken from a Florida Jail
and lynched. Notwithstanding the fact
that he had been tried for the murder
he was alleged 20 have committed, found
guilty. and sentenced 10 be hanged. More
over his sentence was to have been
executed within FIVE days. There was no
fault to find with the conduct Of his
trial He was promptly arraigned when
caught. tried IN order and with due re-
gard 10 decorous and decent procedure,
and would have been in his grave and out
OF the way within ninety days Of the
time the crime was committed-and. mark
you, the crime was not even the usual"
one; II was murder.
What. consciously or unconsciously.
was the isolated motive behind this mob's
dastardly work? It had no excuse what
ever along the usually proclaimed lines.
There was surely no unssemly. delay Of
the law 20 complain Of No further ap-
peal 20 the courts was contemplated; the
governor even had announced that he
would not seek to interfere with the
execution Of the death sentence, sched-
uled 70 be carried out within less than
one weeks time. The one lone motive
behind It all was the mobs inclination
to show It's contempt for the Iaw-its
willingness TO repudiate the laws author
ity upon the slightest pretext That is
what moved II TO lynch this negro. Split
hairs as one may. and seek for other
and better reasons. II one will. there
stands the truth OF the matter in all OF
its hideousness. And it Is the logical
elimination Of lynch law.
Lawlessness feeds upon itself and
wakes fatter and fatter as the diet IS
supplied In ever more generous measure.
II cankers the soul Of the rich and the
poor impartially. 1t produces a lyncher
IN Florida and a millionaire thief among
the sugar trust kings in New York. The
one breaks one commandment by taking
human life without undisputed Justifca-
ment by employing false weights and
measures in dealing with his fellow-man
and supplying his bodily wants and ne
cessities- And both are the victims OF
themselves and the taint OF disrespeet
for the law Of the land.

THE WORLDS CAPITAL.

Paris Has Claim Equal 20 that Of
New York or London.
From the New YORK Mail
Which IS the worlds capital. London,
New York, OF Paris? London has the
largest population. and is the metropolitan
city OF q globe-encircIing Anglo-saxon
empire. New York has the greatest
wealth. and the most varied and numer-
Gus collection OF races. Paris IS but
half the size OF one. but one-third the
size OF the other city. Yet the candid
Coekney and the open-minded Gothanite
will admit with equal readiness, that Il
Is the city on the Seine. not the city on
the Thames or the Hudson. that laws
down the general laws Of conduct and Of
opinion. and sets the pattern Of civnlza-
ton.
The story OF Partisan pre-eminence may
be intimated IN less than dozen words
French fashions. French fabrics. French
cookery, French wines. French art. These
words may not have everything 10 do
with the fundamentals OF existence. but
they do set forth the externals, the things
that give a civilization its fair outward
semblances- II is something Tor a city
to legislate for the world in the arts OF
living. 10 decree what clothes cultivated
people shah wear. and how those clothes
shall be cut: what viands they shall eat.
what beverages they shah drink. what
pictures they shall paint or Ike; what
statuary mold or Ike. what public and
private buildings they shall rear.
