DEFIANT OF LAW.

r, A MERICANs may be God fearing -anyway, they say they are-
~ but they ar not law abiding. As John Martin said Mt the
4 \ Warehouscmen's dinner the other night, "We arc by and
large and in the main . lawless people" There is more truth than
poetry in his assertion. "Thc only kind Of killing which is not APP
proved of here is the legal execution"
Three American rulers have been assassinated In little moro
than a generahon-a record only TO be parallecd in the Renaissance
history Of the italian republics. From 1888 to the end OF 1911
there were 1861 lynchngs in this country. Last year there were
more Of these here than of legal executions. In the twenty years
between 1885 and 1904 the average annual number OF murders in
this country was 6,b97. Homicides high water mark. reached in
1896, wa 1869. More men re killed here every year than in
Italy, Spain, England and Germany combined-these the two most
violent and the two most populous European countries from which
figures n obtsinabs. Where Germany convicts 95 per cent. Of
is murderers, We convict Ia per cent.
last year there were 1O7, 295 arrests without warrant in the boroughs
Of Manhattan and the Bronx, which is more than the usual Rcpubli
can vote. The American propensity to defy the law is shown in the
city by repeated strikes Of municipal employees and in the nation
by . record Of desertions from the army worset than that Of other
modern powers. Tax returns in certain Southern States have dis
closed q greater investment in pocket hardware than in plows and
other farm implements.
In 1.-THE School for Scandal" Joseph Surface made up in "senti
ments" what he lacked In honorable sentiment. Perhaps Americans
make up by their zeal in framing laws their failure to observe them
They pass about twenty thousand every year in Congress and the
State legislature They mako anti-cgarette acts. They regulate
by law the length Of hotel bed sheets. They even dig up an Gun
written law" and give II a veneration denied their statutes. What
Mrs Trolope said Of this country In 1882 Is just a true to-day:
1T often appeared to me that the old women Of . State made the
laws and the young men broke them"

Of historical significance which 10 properly celebrated by a

a swede named Oscar tohansen was
a steerage passenger on the Titanic.
He said he was awakened in his steer
age bunk by a sort of grinding, tear
ing thump ut the moment the Titanic
struck the iceberg. He ran for the deck,
but when he reached the saloon he
found the band playing some popular
air. THE officers of the ship were as,

DANGER" said Johansen. "They told
me to 60 back to the steerage and tell
the people who knew my tongue that
the accident was nothing. went back,
for the band kept on playing and tho
people in the saloon were leaving also
for their beds. An hour after the boat
sank. I hung onto one Of the collaps-
lble lifeboats for two hours and a half.
Then was picked up"
Mrs. Paul Shabert Of Derby, Conn,
said that when the collision occurred
she came out on deck and asked one
OF the stewards if there was any dan
ger, and he said he was afraid there
was. Shortly afterward one Of the Of
hcers shouted, Ladies first to the
boatsy'
Mrs. Henry Stengel Of Newark. N. j.,
said that she witnessed terrible scenes.
Chinese stokers hid in the bottom Of
the lifeboats before they were launch
ed. Men jumped !nto boatloads of
women, injuring them. There were no
lights and no provisions. The col
ltsi0n was terrific ont nobody appeared
to realize how serious matters were.
There appeared to be overconHdence,
as it was thought that the Tit&nic was
unsuitable. II am sure thai more
might have heen saved had it not he@n
for this overconfdence. The boats
were undermined. My husband help
ed to row lifeboat. Captain Smith
stuck to the bridge like a hero. The
behavior of the entire crew was per-
feet. 1t was most beautiful night.
The vessel was surrounded by ice
bergs. Some of the passengers were
on the deck of the great liner, enjoy
