Senator Joseph and Lutte Pease re-
piled to McMahan along the line that
it was nothing but justice and fairness
to recognize Senator Bourne for his
great services, and that 1t was only Il
bubble to say that Bourne was not
member of the Progressive party.
Mr. McMahan said he was one of the
executive committee of the state CEN
tral committee and would have a good
deal to do with managing the cam
paign and would sink his personal
feelings and work hard for the cleo
ton of the ticket no matter whom
they nominated, but renewed his at
tack, until delegates shouted, 1--WE
don't want to hear any more about
Bourne"
]. Frank Burke made the point of
order that under the rules it was the
duty of Chairman Brown to rule out
the name of Bourne as not qualified
to be voted for in a Progressive con-
vention This Brown refused to do.
An informal ballot was taken and
stood Mulkey 30, Bourne 80, and
Clarke 81. Mr. Mulkey then withdrew
his name. Mr. Joseph withdrew the
name of Bourne, and Clarke's nomina-
ton was made unanimous.
The rest of the ticket was then nom
mated as follows:

convention L. H. McMahan was chair
man and Geo. F. Rodgers was not a

ExToRT1NG CONFESSIONS.

A Wisconsin sheriff having in his
custody a negro suspected Of theft
got up a mock lynching to make him
confess. The protested officer OF the
law gathered a crowd. put a rope
around the neck OF the prisoner. led
him to a tree, and having made the
latter believe that he was facing
death. secured a confession.
This is the third degree" Of which
police officials all over the country
are so fond. only written larger than
usually. 1t exhibits an ignorance OF
the fundamental principles Of Anglo
Saxon law that Is e more dense
than that Of the lynching mobs. For
the lynchers know that they are vio-
lating the law. Their attitude is that
Of plain defiance to law. But this Of
f1cer. in the impression that he was
enforcing the Law. ~resorted to GRIM
inaf means to obtain an illegal re-
suit.
The provision in the United States
constitution is that mo person = . .
shall be compelled in any criminal
case to be a witness against himself"
This prohibition is no confined to
the medieval and crude method Of
forcing confessions by physical tor
ture. Any pressure by the officers
OF the Law. whether mental. moral or
physical. is forbidden by the funda-
mental law. That enactment may be
a mistake. although we do not believe
the wisdom Of the generations is in
error In prohibiting these practices
wherever the English law rules. But
II 1t Is a mistake, 1t should be cor
|rected by the regular method Of con-
s%titutional amendment. not by the
will Of police officers. It is about
time to put a quietus on the idea that
not only statute laws. but constitu-
tional principles. car be nullined by
the practices Of the servants Of the
Law.
Il the courts where this sheriff &C
complished his feat are worth their
salt Q conviction cannot be obtained
on that confession. The incident
should also inspire a decided restraint
on the general practice Of the third
degree.
