MURDER AND LYNCH LAW

According to the Chicago Tribune, the number of deaths by personal violence of all kinds in 1911. as re- ported by telegraph and recorded in the papers in every state in the union. was S272. as compared with S975 in 1910. It must be taken into account that this record is not con fined to such eases of murder and homicide as result in arrest and con viction. but includes deaths by every form of violence
 To thousands of murders there were only A legal executions in the United States during the year 1911. as compared with l04 in 1910 l07 in 1909 and 92 in 1908 Classified by states. the record is as follows: Ari- Zona 1. Alabama I. Arkansas I. Cal ifornia l Delaware 1. Florida l. Georgia F. Illinois 1. Kentucky f. Louisiana ?. Mississippi l. New York l4. New Jersey 1. North Carolina 1. Nebraska l. Ohio 3. Oklahoma 1. Pennsylvania 9. South Carolina 2. Tennessee 9. Virginia and West Virginia !

The number of lynchings in 1911 was seventy-one the smallest number recorded since 1885. when there were lSi such ex- cautions. The largest number in tho twenty-seven years included was in 1892. when the lynchngs numbered 255. and in 1899 they were 200
 The distribution of the lynchings of 1911 to the several states was as follows: Alabama 9, Arkansas f Florida :, Georgia 1s. Idaho 1. Ken lucky S, Louisiana |. Maryland 1, Mississippi ?. Missouri 2. Nebraska !. ohio l, oklahoma 6. Pennsylvania South Carolina |. Tennessee 6 {. TeXas 1. Of the total number seven were whites and sixty four blacks. among the latter one woman
 The United States must be accu- mulating large population of ac- quilted and pardoned murderers. It is a question whether or not they could be rejected for that cause when summoned on jury in d murder case in a state where capi- tai punishment is possible unless an Unwillingness to inflict it were spe- oially confessed Otherwise such a tdlesman could not be rejected for cause
 But the legal executions and the lynchings taken together make but a pitiful showing of our national in- difference to murderous crimes New Orleans Picayune.

 After his college days. in order to study law. he took to journalism. He was on the staff of the JohnstoWn Journal He was an ardent repub- lican. As a Maine man he believed James q.

In 1896 Black became governor of New York state. and his election was the inspiration os a joke now well seasoned. It was to this effect:

MAYOR GAYNoR AN INDiSCREET
 DEMOCRAT

Mayor Gaynor of New York is an odd sort of democratic politician In fact. he stands out from the general run of party fice-seekers in all most unique isolation. His utter recklessness in telling the truth is amazing. Why. he does not even say that the country is going to the dogs. that the predatory interests have robbed the people. that the re-
 publican party is the tool of mon opoly and that the tariff is the burn ing issue. Mayor GaynOr has astonishing ideas of the tariff and of economic conditions in general. The other day he said that he did rot consider the tariff an important factor in the increased cost of living

FRANK s. BLACK.

The entire legal profession of the United States. aS we'll as New York. is interested in the announcement made few days ago by Hon. Frank :. Black. ex-governor of New York. that he intends retiring from the le- gal profession in a little more than a year hence. The announcement came as surprise because MT. Black is just in the prime of life and is regarded as one Of the most highly paid lawyers in the country. His friends say that in the ordinary course of life with his present health and prospects he could within the next fifteen or twenty years augment his fortune by $2.O0O.OOO to $9,O00,000. Yet the ex-governor. acknowledging that his fortune amounts to only about S5OO.OO0. declares that on his sxtieth birthday. which will be March g. 1913 he is to retire forever from his profession. leave his home in New York city. practically close his home in Troy, x. Y. and live the remainder of his days on his farm at Freedom. \. H.

 trusts. Bradstreet's financial agency
 is sending forth a report on prices that bellies all these assertions. Ac- cording to this authority. from lSSo to 1910 prices in this country went up 6I per cent. The increase was
 unevenly divided Farm products in-
 creased 100 per cent and factory pro- Cucts 25 to 5G per cent. Industries under trust control had a smaller
 increase than those not under trust

 Mayor Gaynor is big enough to ap-
 preciate big truths He is also big enough to Scorn petty political tricks hy which tine leaders of his party are
 trying to fool the people. There is
 one universal influence that affects prices irrespective of tariffs trusts or other local conditions. That in
 fiuence is the production of gold. upon which there is nowhere a tariff or other arbitrary restriction. No one has yet ventured the unqualified opinion that the supply of basic mon ~ is responsible for high prices. but it may be remarked that there has
 been an amazing coincidence between the supply of gold and the scale of
 prices throughout the world Mayor Gaynor is the one conspicuous demo- crat in the country possessed Of
