possible teaching forces and also

AIIGNMENTS WILL CHANGE.

Attorney General Davidson's an
nouucement Of his candidacy for
governor has put the politicians of
the state in a turmoil Because of his
long silence many thought he had
given up the idea Of running, and
when his announcement came 1t
was in the nature Of a surprise to
yerybody and the alignment will
doubtless be materially changed. To
use the expression of a correspond
ent for one of the state papers, the
cracker at the end" of his announce
ment was the most surprising thing
in the whole paper. He announced
that he would resign his office on
January ! to enter the campaign.
This is the first instance in late
years where an o~fficeholder has re-
signed TO make a campaign. Most of
them have held on and run with the
office as a refuge in cass the race

IASSAILANT OF LITTLE WHITE
GIRL Is QUICKLY PUT

Officers Argue with Avengers to Let

but Pleas Are Of No

Shreveport, La, Nov. 29.-Henry
Rachael, a negro, who attempted to
assault Jennie McMillin, a 7-year-old
white girl, was captured within two
hours after committing the crime,
identified and her lynched by a
mob in West Shreveport late Satur-
day afternoon. The little girl went
to an unoccupied house near her
home with a girl companion, for wa
ter. She was seized by the negro and
dragged into the house, but it is
said that the negro became frighten-
ed n failed in his purpose.
The child, terribly frightened, ran
home and told her mother, and soon
la posse was after the negro with
bloodhounds. Rachael was captured
by Detectives Price and Fred Whit
mier. He was taken to the McMillin
home and positively identified by
the two little girls, who knew him
by name.
When the officers started to Jail
! with their prisoner they were over
powered by a mob of 200 men and
the negro taken from them. When
Iother officers reached the scene they
pleaded with the mob, but in vain.
The negro was taken to a street cor
lner and hanged. The mob then
quickly dispersed.

MURDER IN AMERICA.

Recent events in the state Of Hi
nois have revived discussion of
Americas murder rate. Cairo lynch
ings and causes leading up to them
offer excuse for comparisons which
are anything but complimentary to
this country. In the United States
10000 persons are murdered every
year. germany and England show
only about 500 deaths each from acts
of violence.
1t cannot be denied that life is
not in the United States regarded as
sacredly as it should be. Reasons
given for this are many, not the
least important of which is the delay
and uncertainty of punishment.
Commenting upon this theory, the
New York Mail declares that a ma
tional indifference is responsible for
the bloody record America Us max
ing. 1t says:
1T is beyond question the uncer-
tainty of legal punishment for
crimes of violence has led Infatuated
populations to ~perpetrate many
Ivnchings: and these in turn have
aggravated the evil, for every lynch
ing serves to brutalize the people
and to cheaper the value put upon
human life. Lynching itself is a
v;ol,poo ap6 o murder and
leads to more murders by famlllarlz-
ing the public n with blood and
the fell touch of the slayer's hand.
But legal uncertainty, the delay
of justice, is not a full explanation
of the %cheapness of the American es-
innate of human life; for II life
were as sacred i'll our eyes as II
to be, there would be no law S
delay in such cases. To say that our
courts do not punish crime is mere
" to say that the people who make
the courts do not abhor crime as they
should. Legal delay is more a con-
sequence than it is a ause.

THE TEXAS RANGERS FINISH.

The Texas Ranger has lost his
vogue. The most famous band or
free lancers the frontier ever boosted
is slated for oblivion. Kit Carson's

In the days when Western Texas
was the Ell Dorado of gun fighters,

vation of at least a semblance of law

field of action than he filled. But
what duty called him to do sutilced

R~oosevelt's regiment OF RouSh
