A Lucky Shot.

from the hand Of Leonard Isaacs OF
Jackson county, convict, ID. X. Mul-
kern of Louisville, guard and former
policeman, the other day saved his
own life and was kept from killing
Isaacs. Mulkern had been stabbed in
the face by Isaacs, who is serving 21
years for manslaughter. Isaacs was
fighting with Bob Stephens, a fellow
convict, and Mulkern separated them.
This angered Isaacs. and he turned on
the guard. The nerve and true aim OF
huikern saved two lives.

duty to the country to remain in power
indefinitely.
The strongest individual that ever
lived, perhaps, was Cromwell He never
lost battle, mental OF physical But it
was not the power stored away in his
round head that gave him his power. 1t
was public opinion, that had had enough
OF the reign Of Charles and the debauch-
cry, ignorance and misery that went
with it.
Newspapers represent public opinion
only in as much AS THEY EXPRESS
PUBLIC OPINION HONESTLY AND
ACCURATELY. A newspaper has the
power Of SUGGESTION. 1t has MANY
readers, and can put the same thought
into many minds at the same time. And
that is great power.
But a newspaper has many readers
only because it expresses the feeling
and THE OPINION of many citizens.
A newspapers power is not a men
ace, even when it falls into vicious or
misguided hands. For the most power
tul newspaper is as perishable as
mushroom. A man can change his
paper as quickly as he can change his
mind. A newspaper is not really di-
rectlng force as much as it is mirror,
rejecting the interest, purposes and
opinion of the bigger or smaller part
of the community.
True, as the friend who writes us
says, public opinion has burned people
at the stake for witchcraft, thrown the
greatest of men into dungeons, on the
one hand, and on the other it has struck
the most powerful blows for liberty,
equality and justice"
Public opinion is simply the express
sion of the thought of collective man

Public opinion of course can be no

no more kind than the kindness of the

thorlzes the murder Of slaves as an

What Is 'PubEic Opinion
1t Is OFTEN Mistaken, Sometimes Cruel Frequently
Ignorant II Is the Only Final Protection and the
Greatest PoWer of the People

Public opinion, as we have said, finds
formal, definite, crystallized expression
in certain laws; for instance, the laws
that protect property and sanctify
marriage, thus protecting women and
children; the laws that prevent the use
of poison in warfare and of torture in
judicial investigation.
All law, all rules to which human be-
ings submit, are simply public opinion
crystallized into definite expression.
Nothing is harder to break when out
grown than public opinion that has
taken the form of law and tradition.
Only public opinion itself is strong
enough to destroy and break down the
barriers that public opinion has

crees that HIS opinion is wisdom.
Pubic opinion can give to a man a
power that nothing can resist.
Yet, no mans power is great enough
to control or defy public opinion when
that opinion changes

tit from or through it.; others, because
some newspaper appeals either to their
intelligence OF prejudces.
The result of this voting may be the
adoption of law, but not the independ

In other words, a majority Of votes NAV
not coincide with a majority of opin
ions.

Then, again, communities change

would be regarded as wrong in another.
Furthermore, the same communities
themselves undergo changes of opinion.
What then is public opinion? Is If the

lon?' and writes good
Gas22sssss letter that you will find
in this article. Public
Opinion is the power that controls the
world, in the long run 1t is not ex-
pressed by any individual, any news
paper or any mob But IT IS FELT,
and, while it is often insulted and de-
fled, it rules in the long run.
From time to time public opinion
takes definite, crystalized form and
shape in laws, religion, moral doctrines,
proverbs fables, ct cetera.
The Ten Commandments are an ex-
preston Of public opinion Thou shalt
not steal is public opinion crystallized.
Public opinion does not mean unself-
ishness OF wisetoms always. 1t means
usually that which is convenient at the
time and in the place
Public opinion in China for lone
while said that women must have their
feet squeezed. Public opinion in the
Sandwich Islands taught that boats Of
all kinds were taboo" for women. 1t
was worse crime for woman to get
into q boat than to kill her own child.
That was convenient, as it kept women
from running away from one island to
another, which would have been sad for
their lords and masters.
Public opinion stopped wholesale in
fanticide and universal canmbalism-
which ruled at one time.
Public opinion abolishes capital pun
ishment in one civilized neighborhood
and in another it Furnishes the horse
thief with hanging the safety of
horses being more important than re-
spect for justice.
Public opinion is the expression of the
wisdom Of the people as whole-and
that is the greatest wisdom.
But the wisdom that finds expires.

conditions, by the selfish interests of the
mass, and too often by the passions of
The mob.
The mob is in reality hunting pack;
it is a going back Of human beings to
the savage state Of hatred and destruc
ton.
This fact has been admirably empha-
sized by the late Professor Shaler, of
Harvard.
