Ohio's Contribution to National
Shame.

The lynching at Newark, o.,
is another terrible reminder OF the
weakness OF the respect for law
in America. When such affairs
occur in the south or a negro or
woman is involved we have ex-
plantations if not excuses. The
tragedy at Newark offers no
such mitigation. There was no
reason why the orderly course
OF justice might not have been
waited upon. 1t Is true the Ii
quor question had aroused parti-
san animosity, but if lynching is
to be condoned on such grounds
we might as web repeal the GRIM
inal code and shut up the courts.
The disrespect for law in
America is one OF the greatest
aspects of our national character.
The evil is primarily a survival
OF the frontier days. though it
is shocking to realize that it has
persisted in state like Ohio up
to this day. But there is also
TO be considered the fact that
the evasion and postponements
made possibly by our highly
technical legal administration
have served to keep alive the
frontiersman feeling for private
justice.
1t is exceptionally unfortunate
that to make criminal justice
certain and speedy will be OPP
posed by the very spirit which
resorts to private . justice. 1t
will be feared that the innocent
will be railroaded TO punishment
by the tyranous magistracy il is
part OF our birthright to fear.
Nevertheless the reform must
be won il the lynching disgrace
and other even graver though
less conspicuous effects OF our
disrespect for law are to be end
ed

He added that he had also
agreed to make only one speech
for the senator, and so far as is
known he will make only one.
The time and place for this
speech have not been fixed.
Roosevelt's statement that he
would tender support to Senator
Beverage OF Indiana, in his
fight for reelection caused more
of a stir in political circles at
Washington than anything the
mighty hunter has said or done
since hrs return home. Beveridge
has been a frank and constant
progressive and as result OF il
the national administration
forces are making practically an
open fight against him.

VOLLON'S PUMPKIN.
A Painting That Drove Partisan Artists
Into Mysteries.

inv iiJShCi'So'
It is a part of the duty of the Of
fetal picture hanger of the Societe deS
Artistes Fcancais to distribute the
canvases which are offered for TIE

peal to the jurors. and an i.tu,EtiJl
artist can make trouble for tie pie
ry is told of VOllOn. the painter of still
life.
Some years ago VOllOn had painted
what he deemed his masterpiece. a
luxurious pumpkin, orange in color
and heroic in size. such as one sees at
an agricultural show. The jurors did
not approve the official picture hang
er's choice of place for it. \ second
choice also was found for it and con
demned.
BY this time the pumpkin had be-
come the principal topic of conversa-
tiOn in all the studios of Paris. and the
leading artists began to look in at the
Salon to make sure that their exhibits
were not being injured by an unfor
tunate contrast. OnP-BOuguereau-
nearly tainted with horror on seeing
the pumpkin not far from his pictures.
Take that thing away!" he shouted;
lit kills my white and pink nymphs!'
So the pumpkin was removed. But
here Cormon objected. He declared
that it should not stay in the same
room with his pictures. "Its juXtapO-
sitiOn to my lions and bears and ii
gers said ne. "makes them look like
tame cats"
Tattngrain was the next Srtist to
protest. Don't place it near my
work." he exclaimed angrily. what
becomes of the martial spirit of my
canvases, and what is the use of eX-
hibiting starving garrisons with a big
pumpkin alongside?"
So the pumpkin was shifted about
till it had passed through fifteen
rooms. and not member of the So
ciety would tolerate its presence. Fl

The Column OF The Toys.

In The Oldest tombs OF the world Child
ren's toys have been found, dolls are pre-
served. some intentional, comic and gro
tesoue. some meant to be pretty, VIII
which thousands of years little laaies ana
princesses played in Egypt before 'he
Pharoahs.
In ancient Greece and Rome dolls,
dolls clothes. toy houses and furniture
were buried with aIittle girl when she
died. II was believed that il this were
not done she would mss her accustomed
playthings in the other world. SO deeply
rooted was the custom that even in TIE
burial-places of the early Christians,
whose religion forbade the old belief; toys
are sometimes found in the sarcophagl OF
children.
In her fascinating book on Toys OF
Other Days." Mrs F. Nevill Jackson
describes the ancient rites and customs IN
which toys figured, and in that connection
retells the lovely but diScredited legend
of the Cornthian column, which dates to
the time OF Vitruvius.
A little girl of Corinth, so the story runs
fell i'll, died an1 was buried. Her nurse,
sorrowfully gathering all her toys togeth-
er. placed them in basket, and covered
the whole with large tile, to preserve
the toys from the destroying effects OF
sun and rain. The basket she placed
upon the ground OF the burying-place.
As it happened, the seed ofan acanthus
was just beneath, and as the plant grew
il lifted the toys in IFS twisted stems,
until they assumed the shape OF a lovely
column, then, supporting and following
the lines of the basket, and spreading over
the outstanding edges OF tile, suggested
the form OF the capital.
The artist CallimachuS, happening to
pass close TO the tomb, remarked the
basket and the graceful proportion OF the
branches, and adopted the new form as
a model for the columns in his work in
the architecture OF Corinth.
The gods OF Greece are vanished, her
temples are vacant. But every temple
column, prone or yet tall and slim against
the Grccian sky, whose richly wrought
Corinthian capital follows the line OF leaf
and basket still holds the memory OF a
little nameleSS girl oflong ago; still speaks
of love and chiIdhood-immortal not as
the passing gods, but as the human soul.
