 minds cannot escape, that men shall protect the women and their young The men of the Titanic were com pelled to the action that they took by forces at once within and beyond themselves.
 Any other group of men similarly situated and under similar conditions would act in the same way. To this is opposed the fact that
 some men sought to escape without
 regard to saving the women. There
 are instances in which men have
 made a mad rush for safety, despite
 the inherited racial law. and the i'm
 position of duty.
 As we have already pointed out
 there must be a center of discipline

 stopping the panic which follows up
 on the presence of a peril which is
 entirely novel to those fn danger
 against which they see no way to
 make opposition, and which tempor-
 arily causes all to revert to the more
 primitive instinct of self preservation The duty of the captain and crew of the Titanic toward both men and women, was fixed by law. Says Dr. James De Witt Andrews in his volume on American Law: ''To the last extremity of death itself he (the sailor) must protect the pas senger. To the encouragement of this it is that the whole fabric of the ship to the last shred, must answer for the
 seaman's pay. Sailing is his vocation

GOVERNORS CONDEMN MOBs
SOUTH cARoliNAN's DEclARA.
TIoN SEVERELY SCORED.
Executive Definitely Defends His Con-
vietions-His Life
Threatened.

Richmond. Va, Dec. s.-The govern
ors' conference unanimously repudi-
ated the recent utterances Of Gov
ernor Blease OF South Carolina con-
corning the lynching of negroes. BY
q vote Of IA to IL adopted a reso-
luton declaring against mob violence
and for the impartial enforcement OF
the law. The four governors who op.
posed the resolution declared them
selves as strongly indorsing its pmr-
port, but voted no" because thew
thought they had no right to repri.
mand a colleague.
Governor Blease himself. target OF
the attack, hotly defended his convic.
tions. snapped his fingers in the face
OF his colleagues: told them to go to
it.: declared he cared not a whit what
the conference said. thought. did or
did not do. and announced that all
the resolutions they might ever adopt
would neither keep him from the gov.
ernor's chair nor from a seat in the
United States senate in 1915, or earl.
ier. Four times within as many hours.
he asserted. his life had been threat
ened because of his utterances: but
this appealed to him as little as the
resolution.
The four threatening letters Govern.
or Blease received were all anony.
nous. One was mailed at Richmond,
another in Washington, the third in
Louisville, and the fourth in Pitts
burg. The Washington writer told
him he would pay the penalty II he
ever came to that city; the Pittsburg
writer said You will be taken to ac-
count on sight for your words" the
Richmond and Louisville missives
were unprintable
Governor Blease was taken to task
of Wyoming denounced him for claim
ing a monopoly for South Carolina of
the respect OF the white man for wom-
en- Governor Hadley of Missouri de-
clared that the floor of the conference
had was not a clearing house for
local and personal controversies"
To those declarations Governor
Blease replied that he had been quoted
Thursday as saying To h with
the constitution" and that what he
said Thursday he repeated, TO all the
good governors here; to all the gov
ernors OF all the states: to all the peo-
pie Of the United States" Once. when
his voice was drowned in a storm Of
Kisses. he turned to the galleries and
to his colleagues and laughed.
What care I for your hisses?" be,
asked.
Then shaking his clinched fist, he
shouted:
Hiss II you must. Only snakes and
geese hiss"
The governors conference adjourn.
