The affair in CoAtesville, which was
one Of the most fiendish and iudefen-
sible cases of lynch Law Oh record, is
likely to be attended by interesting con-
sequences; for the unexpected will hap
pen in the arrest and trial Of the "hun-
bred or more who participated in the
crime. Judge Butler, in considering
the case Of one of the mob held that
.those who associate themselves will
ingly with others who are committing
crimes are equally guilty with those
who commit the act" II the juries who
will attend are equally efficient and
courageous the enormity of lynch Law
will be better understood by the many
who are disposed to laWlessness only
when hue and cry is raised against a
suspected negro. 1t is well known that
there are many who really believe, il
despite Of all evidence to the contrary
that the peculiar terrors of lynch Law
will best serve the ends OF Safeguarding
the ruling class. Hence the necessity
for strong criticism, aud insistence tina

suspected persons. Until the possibl
measure Of justice has been realized il
the case at Coatesyille the whole CON

grace. We should learn something
from the fact that each of the instance
of lynch law is followed by still NOR
atrocious deed by crimipally dispose
members of an oppressed race; an
understanding the awful effects q

During the recent imperial conference
the status of the navies of Canada aud
Australia were defined. That Canada's
navy will be subjected to the same rules
and have the same privileges and re-
strictions as the Australian navy, shows
clearly that the two Dominions are
working along the same national lines.
This will make it increasingly difficult
for any person to criticise the Canadian
navy as a ''separatist" influence.
That the status of the Dominion ma.
vies has been defined with the agree
ment and approval of the British au-
thorities still further emphasizes this
point. If the ideas of naval control
possessed by the governments of Canada
and Australia are satisfactory to the
British authorities, there will be nc
room for local criticism.
An examination of the agreement
arrived at reveals the common-sense in
the arrangement Each government
controls its own navy, while in its own
waters. When a dominion navy goes
into other British waters or into foreign
parts, it passes automatically under the
control of the Admiralty or the neares,
senior British naval officer. In time Of
war, the dominion navies come under
the central control as soon as their par
liaments give consent. Dominion nava
officers will be named in the British
naval list and have their seniority &C
cOrding to British rules. In other word
they will be British naval officers fo
all practical purposes. In time of peace
the training will be done at home anc
will be uniform with British training
When these ships join the British nav,
for training purposes, they will b
merged in the British fleets. The dc
minions' ship will fly the Ensign at tb
t~stern and the dominion flag at tn
flagstaff.
| In short, the Dominion agree to cou
form in their regulations and conduc
to British standards and rules, while tn
British naval authorities agree to recog
nize the dominion navies as part of tn
Kings navy at all times, leaving th
local control to the local authorities
Autonomy is proftably amaIgamate
with cooperation and Capitalization.
Even those who feared that autonom
in naval matters meant separation an
divided authority must admit tina
everything in connection with Canada
navy has worked out satisfactorily

Of all the many opinions relating to
the "recall' idea that given by the Ben
nington Banner, is to us, the most inter
esting, not only because it denotes hard
thinking on question to which there
are certainly two sides, each appealing
strongly to lovers of the equal justice
for all idea, but because ii is entirely
free from prejudice, respecting the
departments OF our governmental sys-
tenn which the author of the article
following had under consideration.
"They are always saying that the
people cannot be trusted to do this or
that and it must be done for them by
some body wiser and better. Our own
observation may be limited and we do
not claim it to be conclusive, but it leads
us to believe that while the people in mar
aging their own affairs will make mis-
takes they will make no more and nc
worse ones than the alledged wiser and
better ones put up in high places to ex
ercise superior intelligence about oul
affairs. Vermont is about the only state
in the union that has practical system
of recall of judges provided by the con
stitution of the state, 1t wasn't placed
in our con stitntion undar the mama of a
recall but it is just as good in effect, as
it compels the judges to come up for re
election every two years and if judge
is too notorious he doesn't get reelected

twice in this state. The system hasn''
worked very badly in Vermont and there
is no reason to think it would in Ari

his little sister Nora waiting on him
Then the moment the pain left him
he was covered with shame at his IT,

THE partition of the Chinese empire
when fully accomplished, as it may be,
will be one of several collosal mistakes
that would better be halted in time; for
it will be an instance of the "vain pur-
chasing by pains an inheritance OF

to which the principle of the Monroe
Doctrine could be applied through the
mutual consent aud for the best inter
ests of all concerned, directly and other
wise. All arguments to the contrary,

effort to facilitate aud promote the
adaptation of the foreign policies, yet To

Tariff Makeshifts Vetoed

Summarized, the points which the
President makes against the revision OF
the wool tariff, smount to this:
l. That it is unscientifc.
,. That it is not ia accord With the
expressed wish OF the country that
future tariff legislation should avoid the
evil OF log-rolling aud be the result of
careful inquiry by tariff commission.
8. That schedule X is so complicated
that it ought not to lie revised until
complete information is available.
4. That al ayowed tariff for revenue
and an anti-protection bill is by com.
promise blended with a protection bill.
3. That the principle followed in
adjusting the amendments Of existing
law is not clear and the effect OF the
bill is most uncertain.
Q. That the labor and capital inter.
ested in the wool Industry are too i'm
portant in their extent to justify action
upon insufficient information.
Z. That accurate information viii

will be recommended in revision o.
