THE GRIM e
AT WACO.

When a negro BOY was burned to
death in the public square OF Waco
Tex. in the presence Of $4,000 people,
the real offense was not against the
victim, nor against the law. The vic,
tim himself had been condemned to
death and would soon have been law.
fully executed, and perhaps the form
OF execution made little difference SO
far as he was concerned THE law
is a vague abstraction. Crimes are
not "offenses against law" They are
offenses against people. And the real
offense of that Waco atrocjty was, as
usual, committed against the people
responsible for IL. 1t was those $4,000
supposedly respectable and normal hui
man beings perpetrating-or permit
ting-a crime against themselves.
In holding ceremonies around a
monument in commemoration OF a
great man the celebrants are not hon.
oring him." They are only honoring
themselves. The tributes they pay are
really paid to their own noble quail.
ties.
Similarly the mob that lynches a
man, as in the Waco case. dishonors
only itself, gibbets its own character
burns its own reputation It is the
brutalizing effect OF lynchings on the
people who commit or tolerate them
that justifies their deepest condemna
ton.

handling their equipment more eff
ficiently. But now the shoe seems
to be on the other foot.
The blockades still existing nearly
everywhere are said to be due largely
to the failure of shippers to empty
their cars. In New England, for in
stance, the New Haven railroad Is re-
ported to be delivering $1,000 cars a
day-placing them in position for I'M
loading-and the men to whom the
cars are consigned are unloading only
about 5000 of them day. In New
York the situation is said to be nearly
as bad. In other sections Of the coun-
try it is better, but nearly everywhere
there appears to be needless delay in
unloading cars and releasing them for
further work.
Some railroad men declare that If
shippers would only empty their cars
promptly. the number of cars in the
country actually serviceable would be
nearly so per cent greater. And that
would mean not only more promptness
and efficiency in delivering goods to
the merchant or the consumer, but n
saving in the cost of transportation
which would make things a little
cheaper for everybody.

Much OF the seeming Indifference OF

PARADlNG
VS.. ENLiSTING.

There was a tremendous prepared
ness" parade in New York City last
Saturday. About 10000 men and
women marched in a procession that
filled the streets from curb to curb for
twelve hours, and tens of thousands
more would have marched IL there had
been room for them. Hundreds of
thousands of citizens watched the par
ade with signs of enthusiastic an.
prevail.
Just what does that signify? OBJ.
Vlously, the citizens of the metropolis
are in favor of larger army and navy.
But how far are they ready to go?
Our. standing army is many thou
sands short of its theoretical strength
of 100000, and New York has been
furnishing few recruits.
There Is an urgent campaign now
under way in New York to enlist 5000
National Guardsmen in month-sure.
ly no superhuman undertaking in a
community of 100000 or 100000
people. And SO far the recruiting sta.
tions have not been able to maintain
their hoped-for rate of 90 recruits a
day.
Immediately after the great "prepar.
edness' demonstration It was an
nounced in the newspapers that six
PSrleCtiy' serVlceaDle warShipS had
been retired by order of the secretary
OF the navy, because there were moi
enough men in the navy to man them
The new army bill will provide fol
about 100000 soldiers-the New YorI
marchers were indignant because Il
was not to be at least 100000. The
new navy bill will provide for severa
more batueshipS and cruisers and 9
large number OF smaller craft. There
Will be many more thousands of sail
ors needed, in addition to the thou
sands already lacking. There will bt
hundreds of thousands of men required

How many of the men who marched
