For $50 years the little handful
of Anglo Saxons have impressed
their will upon the mighty mass
of Asiatic humanity, and, with a
few trifiing exceptions, no at
tempt has been made by $50, 000,-

or say unto him, What doest
thou?"

ing miracles that is made known
to US in the whole course of his
tory, and perhaps affords us the
most striking instance known of
the omnipotence of will power
and moral courage. To the stu
dent of psychology there is
perennial interest In the subject
of British rule in India-why It is,
and how 1t Is, that the little cor
porals guard of Englishmen liv-
ing in the midst of the millions
of Orientals are able to maintain
their splendid sovereignty over

And equally wonderful is the
fact that the railways, of which
there are now thousands Of miles
in India, do not seem to make
any difference with the security
of the Englishman's grip.

The Iron Horse in India
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TIME first railroad in India
was opened just 60 years
ago over the subjects OF
the Moguls and the Rajahs the
remorseless Car of Juggernaut
had rolled and crunched for
countless generations, and now,
at last, had come the Gear of
Progress, drawn not by lazy bull
locks, but by the mighty though
invisible power of steam, and
destined to completely sidetrack
Juggernaut and all the supersti-
ton and cruelty for which he had
so long stood,
Than the vast Indian land, with
Its venerable past, its teeming
millions of people, its cloud
piercing mountains and majestic
rivers, its ancient philosophers
and hoary religious cults, its mar
velous forests and jungles, its
wealth of animal forms, and its
innumerable royalties with their
barbaric gold and pearl, there is
not upon all the earth a more
interesting region.
And the wonder only grows
when one stops to think that this
stupendous empire is governed by
a few thousand Englishmen!

Comment on Frank Case

been said touching Leo
Franks nationality, and be-
cause he was Jew there
was a prejudice existing
against him. ! feel sure that
such a statement is utterly
untrue, and many who have
made such a charge know 1t
to be untrue.
Again, Mr.. Simon Wolf
makes this remarkable state
ment: And in the case of
Frank there can no longer be
any question but that rea-
sonable doubt was denied
him, and that the spirit that
pervaded the courtroom dur
ing the trial was anything
but orderly or civilized" Upon
what assumption, we would
like to ask, does Mr.. Wolf reach
the remarkable conclusion
that Frank was denied the
reasonable doubt?" The fact
is, Frank was given the bene-
fit of the reasonable doubt"
If we are disposed to believe
what the twelve jurors say.
He. not only misstates the
facts in this regard, but he
reflects upon every one of
those twelve jurors. They
swore they would give the
prisoner the benefit of any
reasonable doubt" and log
ically they did so, for each
juror had to pass that dead
line, so to speak. before they
could write a unanimous YER
dict of guilty.
Then, again, this sage Of
Washington. d. c., makes the
further reflection that the
spirit that pervaded the
courtroom during the trial
was anything but orderly or
civilized" Does he suppose
the people of Georgia and
elsewhere will swallow any
such statement? The writer
happened to be in Atlanta
during most of the trial and
was in the courtroom, and
we assert that we have never
witnessed a more orderly
trial. 1t seems that some
newspapers have just thrown
down the fences, and allowed
almost hhslous articles to he

Questions Answered
THE OYSTER.


II. l.. P.-You are away off
in thinking that the oyster was
unknown in Europe before the
discovery of America. Your oys-
ter is a very ancient institution,
and a most honorable one. From
time immemorial poets have sung
of him and orators have dwelt
upon his charms. Juvenal, the
most illustrious OF all satirists,
enlivened the literary charms Of
the reigns OF Trojan and Hadrian
with his comments on the oys-
ter, and the comments were not
satirical either, but warmly COM

white, carved nude figure OF
mana man in all the splendid
strength of youth,
Standing behind him on a high
er part of the pedestal was the
form of a woman; and this WON
an was leaning over, her face
turned toward him and her lips
about to be pressed upon his.
l moved closer and to one side,
and saw that on the face of the
youth was an expression OF
deathly agony, and then I noted
that the muscles of that splendid
body were tense with awful pain.
And In that one glance I saw
that the woman's body was the
body of a tigress-that only her
face was beautiful-and that the
arms ended in claws that were
digging into the vitals of the man
as she drew his face to hers.
Suddenly feeling the need of
fresh air, I turned and went out
upon the street.
That piece of statuary gave

ton for his painting, The YAM

fact that the men who have

LOOKS LIKE JOHNSON

Deadwood Telegram: 1t is very
probable that E. S. johnson, demo-
cratic candidate for governor last
year, will be the party nominee for
U. s. senator next year.
Mr.. Johnson has not announced
his candidacy, nor even stated that
he would accept the nomination If
rendered him. 1t has been reported
that he is averse to being candidate,
but no authoritative statement one
way or the other has been given to
the public.
That he will be the choice of the
majority faction of the democratic
party, is indicated by the assertion of
James Coffey, state chairman of Il e
party, that the majority proposals
committee will be almost unanimous
for his nomination. And Mr.. Cof-
fey further stated that the party
would force him to run whether he
wishes to or not. So it is pretty
sure prediction that he will be the
party's candidate next November.
