THE NEW FERTILIZER.

A discovery OF far-reaehing impor-
tance to the farmers OF the South Is
the new fertilizer which has been
perfected on one Of the Islands near
Charleston. 8. C. 1t has long been
known that lime Is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
cannot live when It has been exhaust

Peace Has Her Heroes.

Most people are greatly affecte
by the spectacular and because of
this and the glamor AMI excitement
OF war the deeds OF naval and mill
tary heroes will always appeal to
people with unusual force. The
lingering traits Of the :'sav-
age tribes that still forms part of
our native, makes us regard war
and its miseries as necessary, and
al evil we cannot yet Danish from
the world. but It will not always
be 80. When the Prince Of Peace
reigns in all our hearts grim Wis
saged war will be unknown among
US. and our greatest heroes will be
those who do most to help their
fellowman. Even now let 1t not be
forgotten that there are heroes Of
peace. many OF them. and that their
deeds are just as noble and just as
self-sacrifcing as those of men who
on the field OF battle form a forlorn
hope or rush with answering cour-
age into the jaws OF death.
Heroes of peace are found in
every walk Of life and in every situa-
ton. In mine and workshop, in fieli
and forest. they are always to be
found in every time Of need to risk
or even lose their lives in the at
tempt to save their fellow creatures
from danger and death. Not a week
passes but the pulse beats quicker
and faith In humanity is strengthen
ed because of heroic deeds done not
to destroy life. but to save it. At
one time It is the story of one who
burns slowly to death as he remains
steadfastly at the helm of the burn
ing ship that the living freight may
escape in safety. at another the
record is that of some locomotive
engineer who, with equal fidelity to
duty. stands to his post when dis
aster is certain, and dies that 9th
ers may live.
And today people talk of ter-
rlble mining catastrophe and of hun
dreds meeting death far down in
the lower workings. And mingled
with sentiments Of deepest pity is
the glow of pride as they read OF
the rescuing party going down into
the inferno of smoke and fire and
deadly gas to rescue their fellows.
They go down once too often and
are brought to the surface blacken-
ed and dis6gured corpses. They
sealed their devotion to duty and
humanity by, their lives, Such in
stances show how much goodness,
compassion, self-denial and self-sacri-
five EXIST on this earth. 1t Is. well
to remember this whenever we think
that the world is given over to sell
fshness and an eternaliy listening
to the ring Of the dollar.

The Cause of Lynch Law.

All thoughtful citizens must de-
plore lynch law and the rule OF the
irresponsible mob, and We ask
ourselves how are these things to
be prevented. There is something
that turns law abiding citizens into
a bowling mob and cause them to
take the law into their own hands
and inflict summary punishment on
criminals. What is this something
and how to prevent it from effecting
good men is a matter that should
engage our earnest thought. One
of the best remedies Is to choose
proper men to Office and to see to
it that the law Is enforced and re-
spected. It is useless to attempt to
disguise the fact that the notorious
and frequent miscarriage OF justice
is responsible for the lamentable
outbreaks OF violence that occur
from time to time In all parts OF
the country. If communities could
only be certain that justice would
be promptly done in the case OF
prisoners whose guilt is clearly cs-
tablished the law of the land would
he quietly allowed to take its course.
But, unfortunately. the criminal
history of our land is crowded with
instances of notorious criminals es-
Gaping scot free through the numer-
Gus loop holes in the law. This In
our judgment is the one great cause
of the rule of the mob and lynch
law.
