The Law the Better Way.

Speaking on Friday Of the Ameri-
can penchant for crowds and for big
things generally. The Observer ven-
tured the idea that this accounts in
some measure for the loss Of individ-
uality and sense of personal re-
sponsibility in citizenship. We might
have, illustrated the idea by the ten
dency of crowds to do rash and un-
lawful acts. Whether it is a crowd
of school boys or a crowd Of men,
one hundred, or five hundred, VIII to-
gether do things that very few Of the
crowd would do as individuals. Mobs
are unthinking. One hundred men,
for instance will lynch a man, while
it may not be too much to say that
not one Of the number would, in the
absence of the crowd, take a gun and
deliberately shoot the man to DEATH
no matter how heinous his crime may
have been.
1t takes very cruel and depraved
heart to commit murder in cold blood;
but hundreds Of fairly good and kind
men join together to do it. Is there
any difference in the moral character
Of the deed in the accountability
before the Great Judge betw en- the
one case and the other? Is there such
| a thing as long division" in respon-
sibility and homicide? We think not;
but every man who takes part must
bear the blame before high heaven
just as completely as if he were the
only person concerned in it. Even our
own statute law says so, but our law
is impotent. There is higher law.
though-not the higher law" We
speak of hippantly-to which each
man will have to answer alone; where
no guilty man can escape the conse-
quences of his own acts and where
crowds count for nothing.
When some fiendish crime has been
committed that stirs the blood to fury
and sets the passions on fire men for
get these things. They stain their
hands in blood, instead of turning the
fiend over to the law, where he would
as surely meet his deserved fate un-
der circumstances more solemn and
impressive than mob vengeance ever
can be.

ATHLETICS HOLD HoN0RS.
WIN LAST GAME AND CHAMPION
SHIP FROM NEW YORK.
Pile up 13 Runs OF Three McGraw
Pitchers, While Bender Holds Op-
pOnents to Paltry Pair.

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Hail. Phil
adelphia Athletics, champions Of the
world for the second successive year!
In an exhibition Of batting seldom
seen in premier baseball series the
American league team this afternoon
defeated New York in the sixth game
Of the series by the overwhelming
score Of 1S to 2, thus giving them
the four necessary games out Of the
six played to carry off baseball's
greatest honor. 1t was more than a
mere defeat for the Giants, 1t was a
rout.
Philadelphia Is celebrating tonight
as 1t has never before observed a
great baseball victory. To defeat
New York in revenge for the trounc-
ing the National leaguers gave them
in 1905 was almost as pleasing to the
Athletics as winning the worlds
championship itself.
With the victory goes 60 per cent
Of $127,910.61 or $76.746.37, of which
each Athletic player will receive $3.-
654.59. The losers will receive the
remainder, $51.164.25, or $2,436.Sy
for each New York player.
The batting matinee that the Ath-
letics gave was one Of the finest en-
hibitions of offensive playing seen at
Shibe park In long time. Coming
from behind after New York had
scored one run in the first inning, the
Athletics tied the score in the third,
won 1t in the fourth by making four
runs, made 1t little safer in the sixth
when they added another run, and
crushed the Giants in the seventh un-
der an avalanche Of seven hits, which
with couple Of misplays, adde"
seven more runs.
The sensational hitting Of all the
pitchers the New Workers sent into
the box reused the excited crowds 10
the greatest enthusiasm. With VIC
tory In their grasp. the Athletics ap-
peared to let down, and when the
seventh inning was over the cheering
thousands started to leave the
grounds.

Rudolph With Some Violence.


Denver, Oct. 25.-The Rev. w. S.
Rudolph is nursing cuts and bruises,
and a number Of other members of
the Union Presbyterian church are
using soothing lorions today because
Of ten minutes of lively fisticuffs over
church affairs. During the melee the

DR.. Rudolph with a number Of his
friends were sitting in the rear Of the
church, while trustees and others Sc
verely arraigned the pastor for at
tempting to retain possession Of the
church after he had resigned from
the board Of governors.
Then a motion was carried to go
into executive session in room ad-
joining the church. DR.. Rudolph led
his cohorts to back door and enter
ed the room. A fight at once became
general.
Women in Mysteries bolted into the
open. while a dozen or more men
punched at each other in grim earn
estness. several OF them becoming
engaged while attempting to act as
peacemakers.
DR.. Rudolph and his church are
prominent, and the affair has caused
a great stir.

HEARST IN THE FOLD.
Is Once More Democrat, According
to His Own Statement.
New York World.

New York World.
William r. Hearst is a Democrat
again. He read himself back into the
Democratic party last night at the
Fusion ratification meeting in
speech in which he attacked Murphy
and urged the election of the Fusion
ticket, but made not one single men
ton of the Independent League. He
even said he had no particular inter-
est in seeing the league candidates on
the non-partisan ticket elected to
office.
Not until he was near the close OF
his speech did the editor politician
let it be known that he had become
a Democrat once more, after several
years outside the party lines. He had
attacked Murphy vigorously, and
praised the candidates on the Fusion
ticket, and he had declared that Tam
many should not be allowed to seize
the judiciary. Then he said:
Il am speaking to my friends TO-
night as a good citizen, I hope, and
also as a good Democrat
Mr. Murphy and his kind drove
me out Of the Democratic party, but
the commendable course Of the ma
tional Democracy has brought me
back into the fold.
II am registering as a Democrat,
am speaking as a Democrat, and as
Democrat I am going to fight the
undemocratic principal and policies
Of Murphy and Tammany Hall.
II believe that the greatest benefit
that the loyal Democrats ot New York
State can confer upon the national
Democracy Is to free it Of the hin.
| drance and handicap Of Murphy and
Tammany Hall
I'm appointing his State chairman
yesterday Mr.. Murphy read all honest
and Independent Democrats out Of his
party. I call upon all honest and in
dependent Democrats to unite and
read Mr.. Murphy out Of our party.
Let us have a Democratic party
which is free from Murphys control,
| which Is in harmony with the Democ-
racy Of the nation, and which can be
supported by all loyal Democrats and
honest men,"
This closing utterance of Hearst g,
which ended the meeting, was loudly
cheered, and the Democrats on the
platform began congratulating Mr..
Hearst either on his speech or on his
return to the party. The crowd, which
had yelled and yelled at Hearst when
he came in. and had addressed him
as "Oh, you Randolph" left the hall
apparently all Hearst Democrats.

that the lockout was brought on by
Mr.. Nettles because he refused to pay
his machinist-operator $6.78 Of the
salary that was due him. The mat

men who work In the ONCE decided
that Mr.. Nettles owed the money and
asked him to pay 1t. He told the men
he would appeal from the chapel's
decision to the typographical union
He did so. The union met Friday

PROF. TATE ON RURAL SCHOOLS
A GOOD SCHOOL FOR EVERY
CHILD-EVERY CHILD IN
SCHOOL.
n Suggestion From the State Super
intendent of Rural Rural Schools
to The County Teachers, Trustees,
Parents and School Children.

The country schools Of our State
are now beginning the session of
1911-1912. In my visit among these
schools, 1 find only one third to
one-half Of the children in attend
ance. The fields are white with cot
ton to be picked and 1 realize the
difficulty. and in many cases the i'm
possibility, Of putting all the chill
dren in school at the beginning Of
the session. Allow me to make a
suggestion which grows out Of my
own experience as a boy on the farm,
eager to enter school at the beginning
Of the term, but unable to do so be-
cause of the pressing farm work.
Let every parent see that the chill
dren are at the school at least one
day during the first week for classih-
cation. The ambitious boy can then
get his books and, in many cases.
can do enough work at home to en- 4.
able him to enter his class without
serious loss when the farm work is
done and he can attend school regu.
larly. There are many days when he
cannot work on the farm. On these
days he can go to school and get as
sistance on points Of difficulty.
Let every county teache1 in the
State make a list Of all pupils Of
school age in her district and en-
deavor to get everyone TO attend
school this year. A little personal
work with parents and children will
yield a rich harvest, and a broader
acquaintance with your people will
make the work in the school itself
less difficult. Let us do all in our
power to help the pupil wro is at
work and trying to study at home.
Let every school trustee in the
State lend the weight Of his influence
to secure this year the best country
school attendance in the history of
South Carolina. In this way you
will not only make better and more
efficient men and women OF the chill
dren who attend school this year. but
you will also increase your school
apportionment for next year. Let
! us adopt for our watchwori in South
Carolina this year: A Good School
for Every Child; Every Child in
School.
Just a word to the boy who
works. The same grit and determi-
| nation which makes you do your
work we'll, will enable you to sur
mount the difficulties you find in
your books. If you cannot enter
school now, get your books and by
little home study each day try to
keep pace with your class. Nearly
all the men who have achieved sue.
| cess have surmounted difficulties in
acquiring an education.
