RAPS LYNCH|NG
Declares Delays in Court Ma
chinery Amount to Mis-
carriage Of Justice.

New York. November 23.-DeclarinE
That ia-nl delays often result in exhi-
bitions OF lynch law, and demanding
that criminal assault upon women be
made capital crime, for which there
must be an immediate trial. Theodore
Roosevelt. in the current number OF
the Outlook. to-day attacked lynching
In unmeasured terms:
The repeated race riots and lynch
'ngs that have occurred in the North
ern states during the last decade must
nave convinced the least observaut
that neithcp race feeling nor the ten
dency to lynch is in a sense peculiar
TO the South. 1t is horrible thing,
for which the whole country must
bear responsibility.
But mere denunciation of the
crime of q mob amounts to little or
nothing. We must recognize what the
facts are that excite the mob TO act.
Dreadful though It Is for the mob
spirit TO be aroused In community
by such crime. 1t would be an even
worse calamity II the community did
not feel the fury OF indignation which
produces the mob spirit. There Is no
question that there are serious break
downs In the administration OF justice
In America.
"siowness in deciding cases, readi-
ness TO admit appeals. the subordina-
ton OF justice to legal technical!ties,
the Irritating delays In getting the
machinery Of the law into motion,
and the utterly improper attention paid
by the courts to the sharpness OF law
yers in invoking technicalities-en OF
these result in frequent miscarriages
OF justice and in delays which, II long
enough. amount. especially in their eff
feet upon the public. to an absolute
miscarriage of justice"

Why Call Them Proaressives

Senator Cummins has filed long list
of objections to the President, which he
calls bill of particulars. They may be
summarized in the statement that MIR.
Taft has shown himself to be other than
Progressive, which prompts the Senator
to suggest that the convention nominate
a candidate who will be strongest in the
election.
Well, that is just what convention
should do. When the Republican dele.
gates meet next year, they will select as
the party standard-bearer William H..
Taft, in the hope of winning And one
of the reasons why this selection is now
a foregone conclusion is that the Presi'
dent has not been too rampant.
1t will not be denied that Progressive
is misnomer. Radical is better. 1t
fits. 1t is possible to be progressive and
to be burglar or Black Handler. Each
becomes progressive when he dispenses
with the use of old-fashioned contri
vances,
For the Republicans who proclaim
everything to be wrong and nothing
right the President has little use, and
that is no misfortune. He will address
his appeal to others when he goes West
And he will probably tell them that the
country has few things worth preserv
ing.
The radicals won't believe anything
of that kind. They know better. They
know the world to be topsy-turvy, or
upside down, or inside out, and they all
have bill of particulars of their own,
each bristling with novelties, not to say
infallibilities.
But they won't control the convention,
though they may monopolize the noise
And they might be treated to a shock.
For should the convention declare in
favor of definition of what safely may
be done in business, they may bolt. 1t
would be just like them to do that

Keep the Issue Clear

Some of the most conspicuous of our
labor leaders have shown an inclination
to involve all organized labor in the case
of the men charged with dynamitiug
the building of the Los Angeles Times.
This inclination should be combated
from the first by the full force of public
sentiment. 1t tends to intrude an ugly
side issue into case where the supreme
issue should be kept free from confusion.
Organized labor is not on trial. No
union is charged or suspected of com.
plicity in the commission of the crime.
The charges run against individuals
personally. 1t is right that the accused

First Duty of Performers

Social workers in churches, settle
ments or charity organizations should
constitute in this country the bone and
sinew of the international peace move
ment," writes the Rev. John ID. Haynes
Holmes in the Survey. alt is not so
much that actual war is the breeder of
every social misery, as it is that prepare
tons for war involve the practical para
lysis of all thoroughgoing social en-.
deavor.
"Nothing is more clear today, in all
our Western countries, than that the
social problem in many of its most vital
phases has passed quite beyond the field
of national action. Disease, poverty,
crime, the protection of the worker from
sickness, accident and old age, the con-
servation of natural resources, unem-
ployment-all these are problems for
the nation, and all involve for their
proper solution the establishment of ex-
tensive governmental machinery and the
expenditure of enormous public funds.
And little, comparatively speaking, is
done, for the reason that go per cent, 70
per cent and sometimes a larger pro-
portion of the national revenues, must
be used for the building and mainte.
nance of the stupendous war ornaments
of modern times. ~
off for no higher purpose than that
of liberating miilionsof dollars for the
conquest of disease, the abolition of
poverty, the conservation of natural and
human resources, the social worker
should be the most enthusiastic, uncom-
promising and fanatical of peace advo-
Gates. He should insist that if we
must have war, it shall be war against
the multiplying social evils in city, state
and nation; and that if we must spend
our money for ornaments, they shall be
ornaments of physician and clergyman
and social worker, and not the arma.
ments of general and admiral".-Brook.

OF the revolutionary movement III
Mexico we should say, so far so good
The courageous leaders and the masses,
intelligent enough to want real repub-
lican form of government, have a great
opportunity to win the confidence and
support of this nation by proving the
sincerity of their purpose. There is no
lack of examples by which they can
profit, if they will, in the work yet to be
done. Let us hope that new era has
indeed been instituted, of which the
best accounts may be written. But II

pected to make the best of disappoint-

AMPLE ROOM AND PLENTY To Eat AT
VERMONT STATE FAIR
While the outlook is promising for
the largest crowds that have ever at
tended the Vermont State Fair, the
public need have no apprehensions that
they will not find ample accommoda-
tons, both as to lodgings and meals, at
White River Junction during the fifth
annual exhibition, September 10, 90, 81
and %.
The White River Junction Board OF
Trade, promises to provide accommoda-
tions for all desiring them. Practically
every house in the town of Hartford has
opened its doors for the week that all
who attend the greatest fair in New
England may have comfortable accom-.
modations.
A system of checking visitors has
been adopted, which insures no confu-
sion regarding rooms. BY writing the
White River junction Board of Trade
accommodations may be secured in adj
vance.
On the grounds meals will be served
by several caterers and IL will be no
fault of the management il anyone goes
hungry.
The automobile park has been en-
larged to accommodate a much larger
number of cars than last year.
The extra trackage built this season
by the State Fair Railroad Company
will permit of much better passenger
service from White River Junction to
the fair grounds. All freight cars will
be stored at the grounds upon arrival
which will leave clear main line foI
the passenger trains.

A Queer Name,

One Of the best navy stories Of the
sometimes amusing mistakes Of the
Britisher over names in common use
In the United States Is told by Rear
Admiral W. ?. Potter, U. S. n. on
duty at Washington.
"Some years ago." said Rear Admi-
raj Potter. the old United States
steamship Ohio steamed into South
American port and anchored near a
British passenger steamship. She in.
terested the passengers of the steam
ship very much.
after little new man came on
deck and began an eyeglass inspec'
ton Of the battleship. He stared at
the name OHIO for several moments
and then exploded.

narrow aud restrictive Legislation, has /
not only discouraged extension. bat has
made it wellnigh impossible.
Ii sPpears, OF the authority of a
railroad president, whose word on the
subject should receive great weight, that
the State passed Law many years ago
under which the State railroad commits
sion, a comparatively new body, Was
required 10 restrict the rates to be
charged TO an amount sufficient TO pay
interest on bonds aud what would yield
fair return on capitSization. Suisse
quently law was passed, fixing the
maximum issue of securities to repre-
sentation "f physical valuation of the
roads.
Az early as 1894, the physical valua-
ton of the roads per mile was fixed and
has been maintained ever since in
respect Of all new constructions and ex
tensions. The mileage in 1894 was
500; today it is 1900. having an
official valuation of S?l2, 100000.
Now this sum is the basis upon which
stocks and bonds are represented and
upon which, in turn, fair return is to
be made from earning. But note the
disparity between this valuation and the
assessed value for the purposes of taxa
| ton; on the same roads the latter value
is fixed at s42O,OOO,OOO 10y the State
Tax Commissioner almost twice the
amount, while the "cost" as computed
by the accounting authorities of the
roads is placed at s5l5,000,00O.
That there is something radically
wrong in this system is further evil
deuced by the fact that since the estab,
lishment of the commission the gross
earnings have increased only from
s45, 100000 to s94, 100000.
The railroad men, while realizing tc
the full, that Texas offers unsurpassed
opportunities for railroad building and
extension, feel comparatively helpless 10y
reason of the artificial conditions i'm
posed by restrictive and repressive leglS
ation and regulation. Capital is hare
to get for any purpose in a region where
development is at standstill.
In a nutshell the situation is hk'
this; l. Physical valuation is fixed "
about one.half the assessed valuation
IL. A fair return is to be yielded from
rates fixed on this basis. 4. Capitalize
ton cannot be increased beyond tn
fixed physical valuation. How then cal
the roads extend and improve? VIVA
inducement is there for capital from tn
outside to come into the State 1t tn
policy Of the law is to permit the estat
lshment of lines, but to prevent exten
sions and growth, it might be said

How it Works In Texas

A striking example of how physical
valuation of railroad properties works
out as basis for the issuance of secur-
tiles is found in the State of Texas.
Here is a vast territory, larger than the
German empire, having a population of
5,S96,542, in 1910, gain of 27.s per
cent over 1900. The disproportion of
the population to the area of 265,7sO
square miles, shows the need of. encour-
aging the construction of roads before
the traffic that sustains them grows up

developing her vast resources. Instead
