that The Bulletin criticised the police
force of Cairo very severely, and II
believes justly, because no steps were
taken to prevent the gathering OF the
mob on the night of Feb. I7--although
II was matter OF common talk on
the streets and In some OF the public
houses, hours before the tragedy oc.
CURED, that there was to be such a
demonstration The Bulletin has al.
ways believed. and believes now, that
the police department to which the
people have right to look first for
the maintenance OF order in the city,
,onhl and should have prevented the
gathering and was eriminally negli-
gent In falling to do so.
But If we grant this to be true,
then we will find it difficult to alb
solve the sheriff from blame, for ne,
too, knew, or had reason to believe
hours before the mob gathered that
such a gathering was contemplated;
he mad the same power as the police.
Or greater power, to devise and en-
force measures calculated to prevent

10 take the necessary steps. and any
excuses made in his behalf for fail

vantage of his opportunity to pre-
vent 1t may be urged with equal force
in behalf OF the police.
Whatever may be said for Sheriff
Nellis on account OF his conduct
when the mob came-with a hur.
riedly summoned, badly CHOSEN, and
poorly organized foree-4ft can not be
contended that he did all that could
be reasonably expected of him TO pre-.
vent ts coming.
~ Cairo salvation lies in preventing
hobs; in eliminating from the pubic
Service men who make public inter-
Ssts subservient to personal or parti-
van interests: men who, through
weakness or from evil motives, pan
der to the lawless erenent and thus
create in community conditions
which breed mobs as naturally and
as certainly as wild cats breed wild
cats. Whether such elimination can
be expected through Mr.. Nellis may
be Judged from the fact that some OF
the worst elements In the city, to
whom more than to any others this
community may charge its Affections,
are contending for Mr.. NelIis' nomi-
nation today--among them two of the
men and number of their pals"
who were indicted as members of the
mob which he is credited with having
with such disastrous effect.

LEGISLATIVE CONDITIONS.

Perhaps voters have better
chsnce at the primary today to choose
the men whom they want to represent
them in the legislature than they have
had at any time in years past; and
they have chance for choice--a
number of candidates being before
them from whom they may select
their favorites. In this respect the
situation is different than it has been
heretofore wTen. through party ma
chine manipulation and dictation only
such. number of candidates were be-
fore" the voters as were to be nomi-
mated
AS to the qualifications OF the sew
eral candidates the report of the Ill

cAIRo's SKELETON.

More than likely the esteemed
evening contemporary is nedlessl,
alarmed as to what the defeat OF
Sheriff Nellis at the primaries today
would mean to the community, OF
what the effect would be upon the
mind of the outside world. Perhaps
much depends upon the point of view
at home, and the manner in which
the isues and the result may be pre-
scented in the outside press by the
local correspondents whether sim
ply truthful or colored by political
preferences or prejudices.
There Is strong reason TO doubt the
wisdom OF the sheriff's friends when
they attempt to force the voters OF
Cairo and Alexander county to recog-
nize in his candidacy an issue based
upon or arising from the affair Of
Feb, IL last, and his conduct in con-
nection Herewith. Certainly, they
have no right to declare, az the Citi-
zen did last evening. that his defeat
would mean popular endorsement OF
mob law
n The Bulletin would not take from
Sheriff Nellis one iota OF credit that
may be justly due him on account of
his conduct in the lamentable affair
referred to; and granting all that
may be Justly claimed by or for him,
~ feels that there still may be strong
reasons In the minds of conservative.
law-lovlng men, why he should not
be nominated today, or elected in
observation-disclosures which have trans
pired in the course OF the last several
weeks, which are patent to all and
which overshadow, In their prob

thing that may be conjured up in his
behalf from the tragedy in which he
Is claimed to have acted the part of

A POSSIBLE REASON WHY RE-
FORM LOST IN BOSTON.

A fact apparent in the election Of
Honey" Fitzgerald as the first
mayor Of Boston under the new char
ter, which IS a reform measure, is
that intellectual Boston Is sentimental
and emotional Both these qualities
OF mind are barriers TO political prog
ress, yet they are recognized as pow
erfuI factors in politics everywhere.
Undoubtedly, the Capitalization Of
authority contemplated by the com
NISSAN form Of government. which
Boston now has, Is progressive Il Is
equally true that the best results un-
der such a charter are TO be obtained
through mayor Of the highest type,
as the highest type Is conceived in
Boston OF anywhere else
James J. Storrow, wealthy banker,
prominent citizen, sristocrat, man Of
integrity and lofty ideals. suggests the
highest Boston type. Fitzgerald IS the
political anjiPOde- IF the majority
Of Boston electors had considered the
exact meaning Of the new charter, had
they understood thoroughly the need
of a high-type man to administer it,
had they Pondersd profoundly upon the
fitness. of the opposing candidates,
doubtless Mr. Storrow would have been
elected instead of Mr. Fitzgerald
What happened? This: When the
reformers discussed the principles at
stake and reeited the superior merits
OF their car didates, Mr.. Fitzgerald
raised the banner Of ''the common peo-
pie" against 'athe aristocrats." When
the reformers pointed to Mr.. Storrow,
the banker, his opponent stretched
forth his hands and said, Behold the
hands Of toiler, a man who has risen
from the ranks through his own hard
strugglesi'
And It seems that at least slight
majority OF the Boston electors are
common people Swayed by their
emotions and their sentiments, they
voted for one OF their own rather
than for one whose admitted fitness
to give Al administration truly pro
gressive, without even a suspicion that
ne would serve friends instead OF prin-
eiples, entitled him to the Office.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION ON
DEALING IN FUTURES.

Indications are that Congress viii be
impelled to take up in a serious way
the question 81 legislation relating 70
the subject Of dealing in futures Presi-
dent Taft has taken a stand IN favor
Of such legislation, and he Is comforting
with men who have given study 10 the
existing conditions and the need for
remedying them, and also TO the ways
in which it is feasible through legisla-
ton to undertake to remedy them. At
torney General Wickersham VIII pre-
pare a bill which it is hoped VIII meet
the situation, and there viii be hear
ings upon 1t, in order that al views
may be obtained and the measure may
be strengthened as far as possible
Those who have given the subject
study are well aware that 1t presents
great difficulties when 1t comes 10 leg
isIating upon It in any effective way.
The bill which Representative Scott Of
Kansas has introduced would forbid
the use Of interstate telegraph and

transmission Of messages referring to
futures, so-csIled, on farm products
While such a law would end the bust
ness If It could be strictly enforced, it
has constitutional and other obstacles
IN its way which would not prove en-
tirely easy to surmount- There Is a
widespread impression that the cost Of
living Is materially increased by this
form Of speculation, and while not all
agree on this point, the efforts now
being made by the Administration and
in Congress to take hold of the ques-
ton are to be commended. They viii
at least result in a more intelligent
comprehension Of a system that Is now
but little understood by the public gen
orally as to the effects of its opera

ASTONISHING GAIN OF RURAL
FREE DELIVERY.

The report Of Fourth Assistant Post
master General DeCraw contains evi-
dsnos Of an astonishing and gratifying
increase IN the rural free delivery bust
hess Of the Postoffce Department. IN
she LAST fiscal year the amount of mail
handled on the rural free delivery
routes has increased to point where
t IS e6 per cent ahead of the business
four years ago. In other words, the
amount Of mail handled on the rural
routes Of the United States has about
doubled IN four years Mr.. DeGraw
says this great increase Is conclusive
evidence that the institution Of rural
delivery has enlarged the amount Of
nails handled, and therefore increased
ske revenues.
No phase Of the American postal
service. and few phases Of the Govern
ment's business. are more remarkable
than the growth of rural free delivery.
It has been rallied at BY critics and
attacked from various sources. but 1t
has expanded steadily, and 1t Is estsb-
lished TO stay No Congress that tried
to abolish rural free delivery would
last through the next election day. It
IS an efficient service, and is in itself a
testimonial to the fact that the Gov
ernment is capable Of handling large
business project effectively. The
comforts and advantages 1t lays at
the door OF millions Of American fami-
lies are far beyond estimation in dol
lars and ceIts- It Is not too much to
say that he institution of rural free
