sion; but the thought was suggested
by the fact that the spirit witch
plunges nations into wars, except the
pations which wage war against op-
preston, is the same spirit which has
in centuries past led men to seek the
cruel punis ment OF prisoners-a spirit
whica is vastly too much in evidence
even in this twentieth century.

Gentlemen of the Governors Confer
ence:
T-ree-quarters of century ago, in
the historic city of Boston, one Of the
clearest thinkers which Massachusetts,,
or even the nation, has yet produced,
in an address upon 'fNan the Re-
former" emphasized t thorgat that
every great and commanding moment
in the annals of the world is the
triumph of some enthusiasm" He cit
ed as an example "the victories Of the
ARABS after Mahomet, VITO, in few
years, from a small and mean begin
ming, established larger empire than

his prison to revive him, then piled
with questions again, and subjected to
God alone knows what else, in the ad-
ministration of the third degree" :"
Later Il is prisoner was found on the
floor of mis- cell with his skull crushed
in, and it was stated that he had
climbed to the top of his eel door
and jumped to the floor, killing him
self. w ether he was murdered or
whether he really committed suicide
do not know; but this do know, that
the suicide of any man would hardly
be unnatural under such circumstan-
ces, and that the treatment accorded
him, before conviction, would Gave
been disgrace to our civilization even
had it occurred after ne had been tried
and sentenced. AS remarks a very
distinguished Southern minister of the
Gospel, "the so-called third degree is
a revival of the horrible meteod Of
the Spanish Inquisition, species Of
torture to compel an accused person
to incriminate himself, fiat contra
diction of the humane principle Of law
that regards every person innocent
until proved guilty" This third de-
gree" method dsat is practiced in the
North and the East and the West
less frequently, am glad to say, in
the South-whether a man be killed
during its administration, or whether
he be driven to commit suicide, or
VT ether he be tortured sometimes into
confessing crimes of which he may be
innocent, is barbarity in a sneaking
form, under the sanction Of law, and
those guilty of practicing it evidence a
spirit as mean and contemplate as the
malice which animates the midnight
assassin.
Three years ago l Fad the pleasure
of addressing this conference in Rich
mond. My remarks were telegraphed
throughout the nation, and was her
aided to the world as chief executive
who advocated mob violence. I do
not propose to go into discussion Of
tat here; it is entirely beside the
question. Suffice it for me to say that
in the South, the lyncning Of a man
for the unmentionable crime is pro-
lection to our civilization, while the
practice of this third degree" violates
the letter Of our constitution at its
most vital point and is blow to tie
whole spirit of our institutions. In
the South an aroused mob is an out
ragged community which carries out the
law, but brushes aside with mighty
force the laws technicalities and de-
lays. There is no hypocritical, sancti-
monious violation Of fundamental
rights under the cloak of law by those
sworn to uphold the law; the deed is
open, and civilization and justice are

that of Rome" "But," he predicted.
sthere will dawn ere long on our poll
tics, on our modes of III ing, a nobler
morning than that Arabian faith, in
the sentiment of love. This is tee one
remedy for all ills, the panacea Of
Nature. We must be lovers, and at
once the impossible becomes possible.
Our age and history, for these thou
sand years, has not been the history
of kindness, but of selffsnness. Our
distrust is very expensive. Tie money
we spend for courts and prisons is
very i'll laid out. We make, by dis
trust, the thief and burglar and in
cendiary, and by our court and jail
we keen him so. An acceptance OF
the sentiment of love throughout
Christendom for a season would bring
the felon and the outcast to our side
in tears, with tne devotion of Lis
faculties to our services"
There is not crystal ball in which
man may see portrayed the future, and
little did Emerson Usink that two
decades after he was so eloquently
preaching this doctrine of peace and
love that this nation would be plunged
into four years of civil strife. When
he said that "this great, overgrown,
dead Christendom of ours still keeps
alive at least the name of lover of
mankind" and prophesied that zone
day all men will be lovers, and every
calamity will be dissolved in the uni
yersal sunshine" little did ne reck
t. at seventy-four years later the far
flung battle lines of Europe would
stretch from hundreds to thousands of
miles and that nearly the whole world
would be in a death grapple, attended
by cruelty and sacrifice and misery
which passes human understanding.
Millions of men are seeking each otc-
er's blood, and
s'Few, few shall part where many meet;
The smoke shall be their winding
7 sheet;
And every sod beneath their feet
Shall be a soldiers sepulchre.
But it Eas been the history Of the
world, in accordance with the slow but
steady progress of the human race
that the darkest night is ever followed
by the brig3 test dawn, and from the
gloom which now enshrouds the land
and the sea, will emerge nobler civ
ilization, which will continue to gain
strength in an atmosphere purified by

ing, must be relied upon to put bread
in the mouths of babes crying because
they are hungry.
Still another matter which I have
urged is that we ought to discard the
system Of numbering prisoners-des-
ignating them only by number. It
would have a much better effect in re-
claiming prisoners if their identity was
maintained, even though they occupy
a prison cell, keeping constantly be-
fore item the fact that they are nu-
man beings and that they have soul.
And when the prisoners are re-
leased it is nothing short of a greater
crime than most of them have commit
ted to hound them down by always re-
minding any one to whom they might
apply for work that they are ex-con-
ricts. There ought to be law passed
by every State, and national law
passed and enforced, to prevent this
great evil. The poor fellow should be
helped to rise and do better instead
of being held down, with so-called de-
tectives, hirelings, running around try
ing to get people to perjure themselves

The baseball season is again at
hand. The essential apparatus of
baseball is simple and inexpensive. All
that is required is field, stick, the
ball itself and police protection for
the umpire. One advantage of the
game as PLAYED professionally is that
those sitting in the grand stand can
play the game great deal better than
the eighteen men on the diamond. 1t
is also true that any one of the specta-
tors, even though perceived on a tele-
phone pole across the street or look
ing through knothole in the fence
beyond right field, can judge of tue
pitchers skin or the runners fieetness
much more intelligenly than the
arbiter who stands behind the battery.
The great merit of the game is that
the people can participate in it. 1t is
not like bridge whist. It's science is
not Synonymous with silence. The
thing to do is to take off Your coat and
root as long and as loudly as you can,
even if you don't know what is hap
pening.
