men, executing their sworn duty. a
very unpleasant one doubtless, have
come to grief. A brave sheriff and
his deputies have come to grief. Sev-
Cral widows and a number of Orphans
are left to mourn and many desoate
years will silently pile one upon the
other for some Of these wounded
hearts. And for what? One person,
negro, charged with hideous
crime, confessedly guilty, is done
to death. Wherein is there anything
gained in the ruthless killing of an
accused negro? What was the ques-
tlon at issue when the sheriff and his
deputies were leading the prisoner up
the court house steps. That was the
very question that judge, jury, court
house, law, officers and witnesses
will forever be a question unanswer-
ed. And number of good men have
been done to death. There is no get
ting around the fact that there was
a better way, just a little longer way,
to be sure, but better way, never
the-less. More and more is it clearly
borne in upon the thoughtful mind
that the law, created by the white
man, interpreted by him, executed by
him, must take it's course. To take
any other view is to confess failure
for our civilization. More and more
one reaches the conclusion that there
is nothing to lynch law but destruc-
tion to our institutions and our lib
critics. irresponsible madmen, how
ever honest their intent, however
righteous their Indignation, are no;
capable of dealing justly or Judging
sanely. The courts are our only
hope. When they are overridden, we
may expect just such unfortunate
enCings as this Winnsboro tragedy
r?veals-a number of good men done
TO death, and not thing to rejoice
in The law, impotent, becomes a
doath~trap; and de2th-traps eaten all
too often the innocent.
There are many hearts now sad that
would have escaped this heavy sor-
row had there been patience, self
control and an awaiting of the jury's
verdict. 1t is a pity that there was
not the patience to wait.

A sTATE,s .FIRsr CITIZEN.

II is something new in the annals
OF fame when an entomoIogist is
singled out as the most distinguished
a fate has suddenly befallen Prof.
Lawrence Bruner Of the university of
Nebraska.
This unassuming scientist was
chosen by a special committee-ap-
pointed by the governor. The COM
mittee was composed of typical Ne
braskans. who are a har~d-headed,
practical people. and who know hat
in that state agriculture is more i'm
portant than anything else, and hat
the man who does the most for the
crops is the states greatest ~benefactor.
So the bug hunter" won against the
writer's, orators and office holders.
Political fame said a member Of
the committee, lis a bubble. We want
ed a man Of true and lasting distinc-
ton, based OF creative achievement"
IL would be impossible to estimate
the millions OF dollars that Prof.
Bruner has saved Nebraska and other
states and other countries. When the
voracious 'chinch bug was destroying
the crop like an Egyptian plague,
the professor searched through the
insect creation until he found a para
site that preyed tp0n the cinch, and
by introducing it into the fields he
saved the crops that year and taught
everybody how TO save them there
after.
When the wheat crop of Argentina
was being eaten up by locusts i'm 1883,
the government sent for Bruner. and
he went there and saved the crop, and
fought the locusts so effectively that
they have never bothered the country
since. These are merely two examples
Of what Prof. Bruner has been doing
for many years. He is credited with
the no less valuable work of train
ing a whole generation of Nebraska
youth in the gospel of modern scien-
tihc farming. n raising up hundreds
Of men TO carry on his work.
Public opinion nearly everywhere
is likely 20 support such a choice, just
as public opinion is almost unanimous

first citizen of the United States. 1t is
the creative, productive work hat
counts most-the work that adds to
the sum OF wealth, that makes the ne
cessities and comforts of life more
easily obtainable, hat lessons the
amount OF effort required TO obtain
results. and leave people with more
leisure and energy for the real en-
jOyments OF life. With an efficient,
prosperous people, everything in the
way of higher development" follows

much should not be made of that fact

The discovery that Rudyard Kiplirg

things that were not so about this
