THE SHAME OF ILLINOIS.

A mlngling OF pity and contempt will
generally be felt for the Sheriff at Cairo.
Ill, who could devise no better method
of Safeguarding a prisoner than liter
ally taking 10 the woods with him and
seeking 20 hide. For the mob there
must be feelings Of loathing and detes-
tation which IL would not be easy TO
express in words.
Ii seems probable that both the
victims of riotous fury were guilty of
the crimes with which they were
charged and were deserving of the
seyerest penalty of the law: though we
should wish 10 have the guilt of one
of them more convincingly established
than by the report of his confession
which is made by his slayers. 1t may
be that he did confess, but we would
not take the lynchers' word for ii. Men
who would do what they did would glibly
and gladly lie 10 trump up an apology for
their conduct. But not all the indis-
putable guilt in the world could Justify
the atrocities OF Cairo. The most
hideOus tales of cannibalism do not sur
pass the reports of the dOings of these
reputedly civilized and Christian citi-
Zens of Illinois The alleged crimes of
the lynched men were abominable, but
they were fully matched by the bestial
ferocity of the lynchers; and the worst
of il is that the conduct of the mob was
exactly such as so To degrade and de-
humanize those who participated in it
or approvingly observed ii as 10 incite
i'm the surest manner further criminal
ity OF the kind which it was Ostensibly
intended TO ayenge. OF course, there
was in the minds of most OF the lynchers
no thought of avenging crime or de
terring its commission, but merely n
savage lust for blood and love, of tort
ure and outrage.
The incident is an indelible shame to
the state which was the home of Lin
coin. but il is shame which Illinois
shares with many others. North and
South, East and West. all parts of
the breaking forth of these abhorrent
passions. But while thus no part of
the land is SO free from reprOach as TO be
entitled 10 be censorious toward an
other, such infamy should not be per-
mitted 10 occur anywhere without
prompt and unsparing condemnation by

PSICHICiL RESEARCH

The jury Of scientists who are To
examine Signora Eusapia Palladino, the
alleged Italian medium now in this
country. will not impress the public as
especially skeptical. One OF them is
known 10 the public chiefly for his be-
lief in the communications" he alleges
he has received from departed friends
Another offered TO bet" a short time
ago that there were spooks who com
municated through mediums. Others are
noted for their writings on double and
multiple personalities. In fact, there
seems Ia be Il general leaning among
Signora PalladinO's critics to accept oc-
cult phenomena and fit them in with
some psychological theories which they
hold. Almost anything but the down
right rejection of the Italian woman as
sham is 10 be expected from IA body
constituted as this one is.
No fault can be found. Of course, with
scientists for approaching such cases
open mindedly and for carrying on what
they call 'psychical research" But we
doubt if betting in favor of the exist
ence Of spOOks" is good in its effect
upon the general public. A little reti-
cence on the part Of the Investigators
of psychic phenomena would be an adj
vantage. In the present stage of knowl-
edge upon these subjects il would be
no great self-sacrifice and 10 great
hardship TO the public if there were
less rushing into print with ingenious
theories lending countenance TO spirit
rappers, table tippers and persons pro-
Tossing 10 have familiars in the other
world.
When Professor James "bets" on
spOoks he does so with mental reserva-
tions which men without his scientific
training are incapable of appreciating
or exercising. Malicious animal mag
netism,' witchcraft and humbuggery
flourish cn the idle guesses of distin-
guished scientists about things which
they do not understand. There is a
moral responsibility about high posi-
tiOns in the intellectual and scientific
world and the leadership which they
entail.

VIOLATIONS OF SPEED LAWS.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The recent order Of the Police De-
partment looking toward An apparent at
tempt TO enforce the speed laws has come
as a relief 10 many a New Yorker. The
constant. continued and fragrant violation
of these laws. particularly on the upper
West Side, has been such to make any
parent tremble for the safety of his chill
dren.
My attention has been particularly called
T. the fact that the drivers of taxicabs
give no warning whatever as they turn from
one street into another. The recklessness
with which these men turn the corners can
be accounted for but in one way, namely.
a consciousness of their absolute freedom
from danger of arrest and a consequent
total disregard of existing laws.
Conditions here seem to be even worse
than in Paris, where IL is popularity sup
posed that to be run over is misdemeanor.
That accidents are not even more numerous
than they are can be ascribed only 10 tho
special providence which appears 20 guard
the lives OF the little children; but ii does
seem that il is time for drastic legislation
and rigid enforcement of the law. The
Tribune is rendering a great public service
in its efforts to this end

THE BRITISH PLAY CENSORSHIP

THE BRITISH PLAY CENSORSHIP.
IL is probable. though of course not as
sured, that the British Parliament will
enact a bill in accord with the recOm-
mendations If the joint committee of its
two houses concerning the dramatic cen
sorship. IL IL does SO, a radical change,
which Will almost certainly be for the
better, will bc effected i'm "A system
which has been the subject of much
criticism and no little ridicule ever since
its adoption, in NalpOle's time it was
IN 1877 that the Lord Chamberlain was
invested with supervision over stage
performances. and il was in 1913 that
Bulwer's act gave him added power 10
enforce his decisions. for 1.-The preserva-
"tiOn of good manners. decOrum and the
public peace" Under the latter act
theatrical manager Was made liable TO \
tine Of $50 for each performance OF
play which had not been licensed 10y the
Lord Chamberlain.
Walp0le, as is we'll known, secured
the enactment of his law because of the
way in which his peculiar political
methods were pilloried in THE Beggar's
Opera" In our own time the act. or its
supplement OF Bulwer's making, has
been invoked for political ends. Thus

One will put music halls and variety or

seems 10 be logical and reasonable. The
second will transfer authority from the
Lord Chamberlain 10 the London
County Council, which also seems com
mendable, being ia accord with the
practice which has hitherto practically
prevailed outside OF London. The third
change will permit the performance of
plays without license, but viii hold the
performers or managers responsible for /
any breach Of morals or propriety. That

three. IL will give 10 the theatre

PERIL OF THE HIGHWAYS.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: 1 am glad that you are again taking
up the cause of the plain people. In an
editorial of November you say:
I'VE have no wish to be unduly severe
upon a small minority of drivers Of auto
mobiles. But we do want to see the public
highways made and kept safe for public
use"
This is what the common people want;
safe and sane use of the streets and walks
One Of the first things a man who owns
an automobile should be taught is that he
does not own the roads; that when he
adopts a speed faster than the law allows
he is a trespasser-has lost his right TO pro-
lection. IL cannot be denied that the
temptation TO speed is great, but so is the
danger. and the roads are intended for the
use Of all. Where is the pleasure Of driv-
ing on a road infested by fools and scorch-
ers; fools who see how close they can Craze
yOu without a collision; scorchers who
adopt Il mad pace. blow their horns, and
take the chance that they will frighten
every one to cover until they get past?

however. 1t has been proposed to run

liberty similar 10 that enjoyed by the
press, which prints what it pleases with
out censorship or license, but IS held ac-
countable for libels or other offensive
matter which may appear in its col
umns. There can be little doubt that
this will result In the production of
many plays. perhaps of whole classes of
plays, which hitherto would not have
been permitted. IL will certainly re-
move the reproach of bigotry and intoi-
erance which has often been directed at
the Lord Chamberlain or his censor of
plays, and it will make local elective
body, and therefore the people them
selves. responsible for the character of
Stage performances.
