.EWATTERSON WRITES
OF LYNCHING EVIL
CFrom the Courier-Journal.)


Lynching should not be lnisconstru
ed. 1t is not an effort to punish crime
1t is a sport which has as it's excuse
the fact that a crime, of greater or less
gravity, has been committed, or is al
legged A lynching party rarely is
made up of citizens indignant at the
laws delays or failures. 1t often is
made up of mob bent upon diversion
and proceeding in a mood of rather
frolicscome ferocity, to have thor
oughly good time Lynchers are not
persons who strive from day to day
toward social betterment. Neither are
they always drunken ruffians. Often
times they are ruffians wholly sober in
so far as alcoholic indulgence is con-
cerned, but highly stimulated by an
opportunity to indulge in spectacular
murder when there is no fear that the
next grand jury will return murder in
dictments against them.
If there were good roads and good
schools in every county; if social life
were more active and leavened by
more widespread intellectually, there
would be potential lynchers here and
there, because some persons amid
the most favorable surroundings re-
main subnormally culturally, but the
general improvements of rural condi-
tions and the mental broadening If.
county seat life would reduce mater
tally the number Of persons willing toI
engage in murder as pastime or to
condone it. In the meantime an auto
matte removal law discouraging the
sympathy of sheriff and iailer with the
sport is the best cure for Iynching.

THE DANGEROUS GUN.


The Times-Recorder contends tina
more drastic action should be take'
on the promiscuous gun. The unload
ed" always kill; the accidental dis
charges are always fatal; the pro
tector" at home is always put to tn
wrong use. Human life has become s.
cheap until it is hardly given passing
notice. A dead man never talks. ant
public sentiment has given an irol
cross in many instances to a murderer
Along the line of the gun in the home
is this interesting editorial from tn
Savannah Morning News:
Several Georgia newspapers
have called special attention in the
last few days to tragedies caused
by the home pistol" that is, the
pistol that is kept at home for the
family's protection, but which
sometimes kills whom it should
protect. 1t has been stated with
positiveness that the protector"
kills twenty while it is saving one
life, but this is something which
can be only guessed at widely. 1t
seems going much too far to say
that there should be no firearms in
the home, but certainly they
should be always unloaded when
there is any danger of their being
carelessly handled by children;
should always be kept under lock
when the children are out of bed
Referring to a tragedy in Savan-
nah in which the home pistol"
figured, the Atlanta Constitution
said: In this day and time fire.
arms are about as useless about
the house as clockwork bombs or
internal machines This, it seems
plain, is an exaggeration. Ger
tainly it cannot be true as regards
the people of rural parts of Geor-
gia, and it is not likely that the
Georgia Legislature. which, like
most other legislatures, will fol-
low the example set by the law
makers of New York and prohibit
the keeping of firearms in the
home. There is more use for
pistol in the home than for a
"clockwork bomb but it is tempt
ing fate to leave a pistol and its
cartridges where children can get
at them

The Effective Blockade.

Down in the Ozark mountains in
Missouri a good old Baptist of the
hardshell type was called to preach at
church where the young men of the
place were prone to get up and leave
if the preacher said anything they
didn't like. After the opening prayer,
the old preacher looked his congrega-
ton over and said:
'Now, after l get to preachin' don't
want Rag, Tag and Bobtail to be a
iumpin' up an runnin' out" About
halfway in the sermon, young man
got up and made for the door. Paus-
ing in his sermon the old preacher
pointed his finger at the retreating hg-
ure: .Yonder goes Rag" he said in a
loud voice. After he had preached a
few minutes another youth left the
room. "Yonder goes Tag" cried the
preacher. Needless to say, no more
of the congregation cared to leave I'M
til duly smissed.-Oregon Journal.

BOARDMAN DECLARES IN
FAVOR OF CONSUMPTION

Oshkosh-Local military men ex-
press themselves in favor of President
Wilson's proposed CONSUMPTION to fill
the ranks of the United States army.
Gen. C. r. Boardman, former adjutant
general of the Wisconsin National
guard said:
Universal training must be carried
out in this country. Consumption is
to the present what universal serV-
ice will be to the future. There is
no Justice in having married men
serve their country and their families
suffer when a lot of robust young fell
lows with no responsibility are per-
mitted to remain at home. If they
showed the proper spirit they would
enlist voluntarily. There should be
no discrimination in the class of men
who should bear their burden of
danger. / believe CONSUMPTION is gen
orally favored in this state"

About the Pullman.

After the long night of sleeping and
bumping, you get up and hasten to the
Mushroom for the hurry-up cleanup,
only to find that the man who talks
loud in the smoker has beaten you to
it. He has evidently talked all night
so as to be back on the job before any
one else.
He has received q travelling case as
a present from an admiring friend or
wife, and he is busily using it. His
bag is deposited on a seat, his coat and
vest are on q hook, his collar and tie
ON another one. His travelling case
takes up the space of one of the birds
tub basins, and with feet outspread, and
much splashing he is worrying the
bristles off while the train rounds cor
ners, and the engineer applies brakes
with no apparent reason.
You are lucky if only one man has q
case-generally there are two-and by
the time the train has reached it's desti-
nation and the porter announces that
there will be five minutes allowed to
clear the coach, you have been able to
worm yourself between the shavers
and their outfits and apply SUFFICIENT
water to relieve the strain until you
are able to get to your own blessed
sanctum-and can spread out over
things yOurSelf.-DetrOit Free Press,

RICH IN SPITE OF HIMSELF
Sea Captain Makes Million Dollars
Because He Was Delayed in
Selling Cargo by Lawsuit.

Human history is full of instances
of where men have made fortunes
through no efforts of their own, but
there is no instance on record more
interesting than that of the captain
of the sailing vessel Indra. Those
who believe in luck should remember
it-for if there was ever case i'm
which luck figured it is this, one, says
the Dayton co. News. !.
The Indra is a wooden affair, be-
longing TO q citizen of Germany. She
was half way across the ocean with 81
cargo of nitrates, which she was TAX
ing from Chile TO France, when she
encountered another and faster vessel
and communicated to her the informa-
ton that Germany and France were
at war. SO she turned about and made
for New York, where she landed safe
ly.
The captain tried to sell the cargo at
once to New York parties claiming
that the war had prevented his deliv-
ering it to the consignees, but suit
was brought against him to prevent his
doing so. The case dragged along in
court until the other day, when it was
decided in the captains favor and he
| was allowed to sell the nitrates. 1t
brought $1,OO0,000 cash-that is the
point. It was worth 100000 when he
started across the ocean with it. He
tried to. sell it for $4,000 when he
reached New York and when he was
stopped by the law suit. So the cap
tain finds himself more than 100000
ahead of the game, through no efforts
of his own, or despite his efforts.
