inal as the most abominable action OF
which the prisoner can possibly have been
guilty. Indeed, of the two. the man who
has slain another and is caught in flight

gestion of immediate execution, the lat

a cry was raised against a man whose
effense had been an unprovoked attack
on a citizen, and who when arrested was
set upon by a crowd eager for his instant
punishment. The policeman had to fight
almost for his own life to protect his
prisoner, against whom at most a charge
Of assault with a deadly weapon would
lie. In that crowd were probably men

sticklers for the law in everything that
pertains to their own comfort and secu-
rity and profit. Innamed by the incendiary
cry of the lyncher, they lost all balance
and screamed and cursed and fought like
savages. reverting In a flash to most
primitive state of mind. What magic Is
it that thus transforms men Of this TWEEN
tieth century, surrounded by the sup
posed reffnements of civilization, into
rioters and potential murderers in a mat
ter in which they have no possible per-
sonal concern? 1t Is the thoughtless cry
OF lynch him. which once represented
the legitimate demand of a semi-organ-
lied community for protection from ur-
gent danger. but which in the shadow Of
police stations and courthouses is no less
than the yelp of the human wolf eager
for blood.

Spanish in WASHINGTON.

The English language is conuuering the
Spanish in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. and is making itself heard in Cuba
and Central America, especially in the
Canal Zone and the territory contiguous
to 1t. There is also a reflex action more
or less marked in the United States, but
especially we'll defined in Washington.
There is a counter invasion by the Span
fsh language. There are In Washington
many more Spanish-speaking people from
Spanish-speaking countries than ever be-
fore. There are more Spanish schools
and Spanish teachers. There are more
people connected with the embassies and
legations of the South and Central Amer
lean governments than before, while the
legations of Cuba and Panama have been
added to the list. Then there are resi-
dent commissioners from the Philippines
and Porto Rico, while numerous commits
sioners and commissions are constantly
coming from and returning to the more
or less troubled countries to the south.
There is also the influence of the Pan
American Union, which used to be called
the International Bureau Of American Re
publics.
Newspapers and magazines have pub
lished more concerning Spanish-speak king
countries in the last decade than prob
ably was published in all the centuries
that went before. Books of Spanish
travel and Spanish customs and govern
ment reports on things Cuban. Porto
Rican, Philippine, Colombian, etc., have
rolled from the presses. All this has
measurably stirred the Americans in
terest and familiarized him with sundry
Spanish words and phrases.
There is also the matter of Americans
returned from the Spanish tropics. SOL
diers, school teachers, government en-
ployes, officials and plain tourists, all of
whom bring back at least some frag-
mentary knowledge of Spanish. Many of
these seek to perfect or to increase their
understanding of the Spanish language,
and many persons believe that with the
growing intimacy of our relations with
the people of the tropics knowledge of
Spanish may be useful
