That doesn't mean that interest is
waning. On the contrary, there were
more directors out hustling than there
were at the meeting.
While the session was attending to |
the little matter of paying bills for
current expenses, other directors were
out hustling for money that will pay
future bills. A committee went to
Havelock and held session with the
Boilermakers and the Blacksmiths.
Both of these organizations showed a
lively interest in the project, and both
agreed to do something to boost the

organizations were left to take such

THE STAKE, FAeGoT AND rHuMBscREw.

Samuel Gompers Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell have been found guilty of that most helm
of all crimes-contempt Of court The wife
beater, the horse-thef the murderer is entitled
to more consideration than the guilty Of
tempt Of court They, at least, entitled to trial
by jury of their peers, but the man guilty of
tempt has to stand trial before the prosecutor who
also acts judge and executioner
SO it is that these three men, guilty Of having
exercised rights they supposed to be guaranteed by
the constitution, are facing prison term.
Perhaps they will have to go to Jail. If they
do they will not be the first who have suffered
for having fought for principle.
Latimer and Ridley burned at the stake,
but Latmer's prophecy that the fire which
sumed them would light all England than
fulfilled. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison in Jail
will be a greater menace to judicial czardom than
they would be of Jail
If law is to be set aside at the whim of Judge;
it constitutional rights dependent upon the way
judicial breakfast sits upon the judicial stomach;
it liberty is to be the football of judicial tyranny,
then it is high time that the country recognized the
fact and cut the foolish expense of legislatures and
executives
The stake, the faggot and the thumbscrew used
to be the punishment Of those who dared to exer-
else freedom of thought and action. We
refined in these enlightened days. We have the in
functions, whereby the end is reached-the
throttng of constitutional rights and the lettering
of the limbs Of free men.

DID men LIVE LONGER
IN LAST CENTURY
Evidence in Many Cases of
Long Life Shows Errors and
Is Not Convincing
Reports of Longevity Should Be
Received With Much
Caution

In the first quarter of the nineteenth
century there were circumstantial re-
ports and records of the deaths in the
then comparatively small United States
of 100 persons. each more than 110
years old. 20 OF them more than 123
and one reaching the age of 150 years.
and thus almost riValing the age at
tributed to the historic old Parr of
SHROPSHIRE Eng who died in 1885 at
the reputed age of 152.. Many or these
We're negro slaves and Indians, con-
cerning whose ages there was obvious
ly ample opportunity for uncertainty
and exaggeration. Nor can we accept
as infallible the records concerning the
others, although some OF them are quite
circumstantfal Thus, the National Ga
zette in reporting the death of one of
the Oldest, gave the date of her emf
grafton from Germany and settlement
in North Carolina and many other de-
tails. OF another, who died at White
hall. n. Y. at the reputed age of 134
years. in 1920, there were given the
dates of his birth in France. of his emil
grafton to Holland and thence to Eng
land, and of his service in the English
army.
At the same time it is to be observed
that If he was really born in 1886, as
stated, he must have been 1874 years old
In 1920, instead of only 1874. as reported
at tnat time This discrepancy of half
a century in circumstantial record sug-
gests the possibility of similar errors
Z.
of longevity in modern ages was that
of Peter Torten, or Zorten. of Kofrock
Hungary, who is said to have been 1S5
years old when he died in January. 1924.
But the evidence in his case is by no
means convincing. and the same must
be said even of such records is those of
the countess of Desmond and Colonel
Winsloe of ireland. who were said to
have reached the ages, respectively of
140 and 146 years.
We have remarked upon the great
number of reports of extreme longevity
which were made in the early part of
the last century. Now. the year which
has just ended seems to indicate
similar though less marked abundance
of them in the early part of this cen
tury.
The coincidence affords suggestion
for thought. It may be that there is
some influence in the contemplation of
the beginning and progress of a new
century which induces people uncon-
sciously to invent, exaggerate or in
dulge their fancy concerning their own
ages or the ages Of their neighbors
On the whole. reports of lives pro-
longed much beyond the century mark
are to be received with much caution.
If not with outright skepticism.
