THE EXAMPLE OF A PRINCE

Every American boy Is born q
prince. destined TO become a king
king by divine right of the people "a
rule. How well do We train our boys
for their high estate and response
bilities Is there lesson for demo
cratic Americans in the example OF
young prince who, for all his boy
ishness, has been educated and
trained from birth for his duties TO
come
We think there is. II is the tenden-
cy Of every revolution, of every shift
of power and sovereignty, to waste
needlessly something of the example
Of the past Human nature is still
human nature, in democracy as in a
monarchy, and needs the same virtues
and the same principles to succeed. In
shifting sovereignty from king to peo-
pie, nobility. in the high sense of the
word, cannot be dispensed with. The
duty to rule and rule justly and wisely
is only distributed among the many.
II is not, by a trick, abolished, rem
dered superfluous.
There is constant complaint in
America of lack of able and high
minded men trained to public office
and welcoming its opportunities. In
this democracy of ours Office holding
has become almost a joke, goal for
mcdiocrities, halfway competent, half
way virtuous. Our great and distin-
guished mayors, governors and legis-
lators are conspicuous as exceptions.
At the very top, in our presidents, the
level of ability has been low, even
though the level of conscience and rec
titude has been high.
This would surely not be true if we
trained our youth to understand their
duty as citizens. to feel their share of
that same responsibility to the state
that rules the upbringing of prince.
To use language clearly and eloquent
ly, to speak in qublic, to bend pleas
ure and labor to the single duty of
serving his country in the post to
which fate has called him--we have
all seen something in the past few
days of prince thus educated and
thus inspired.
The citizens OF republic like to
feel that they can view kings with
candor and impartiality. They should
view their own rulers, that is them
selves, their men and women voters,
and their prospective rulers, that is
their boys and girls, with equal can
dor and impartiality. If prince can
set them an example showing how
their rulers should be trained and
taught, they should be glad Of the les

 AT HANDS 0F MOB
John Hartfield, Negro, Hanged to Limb of Tree Under Which Crime
 Was Committed
By Associated rrvss

EiIisviIIe, Miss, June 26.-Trnfled for 10 days through three south Mis- sissippi counties by posses which in- c,used several Hundred members of his own race, John Hartffeld, negro. con- fessed assailant of an Ellisville young woman, was captured desperately wounded near Collins at daybreak this morning, rushed by automobile to the scene of his crime, hanged to gum tree and then burned to ashes. His victim witnessed the lynching.
 While negroes took no part in the actual lynching of Hartfield, posse leaders freely admitted they rendered valuable assistance during the chase, knowing when they enlisted that it was intended to lynch the fugitive when he was captured. Many of them witnessed the execution.
 The lynching was conducted in a manner which the authorities char acterized as orderly
 Guarded by committee of citizens of Ellisvlle Hartfield was taken first to the office of Dr. A. J. Carter who, after examination of gunshot wounds received when the fugitive made his fight against capture, declared the negro could not live more than c4 hours, In the meantime group of silent men were piling crossties and brush in a depression in the ground near the railroad trestle. There was no shouting. Arrangements apparent ly had been made days ago.
 CONFESSES GUILT
 The victim of Hartfield's crime wGs escorted into the physicians office after the wounds had been examined. She positively identified him as her assailant When she left the negro said to the committee. You have the right map'
 Then there were quiet conferences. Members of the committee circulated in the crowd Reports that there wouii be burning at o'clock gave way to statements that there would be a hanging at the big gum tree.'

 While no official information is yet at hand with regard to the aP- p0intment by the German govern ment of plenipotentiaries to pro- ceed to Versailles to sign the peace treaty. the latest unofficial advices arriving Tn Paris from Germany are to the effect that Dr. Hermann Mueller, foreign minis ter in the cabinet of Herr Bauer, and Dr. Bell, the minister of coll Onies. have been chosen for the duty.
 The time for the signing of the treaty also still is in doubt. The German delegation, says the re- port, will reach Versailles Satur- day morning, having been due to depart from Berlin Thursday night. There has been some talk of the possibility of setting sum day as the date for the function and Monday also has been spoken Of. Everything, however, seems contingent on the actual appoint Hent of the men who are to act for Germany and their arrival at versailles. z
 No further news from any eOurce has been received regard ing the return to Germany of the former German crown prince. who had been interned in Holland since h0stilities ceased.

BOTH SIDES PLEASED

New York, June 26.-Attorneys for both the brewers and the federal government claimed tonight to have gained victory through an opinion handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals, modifying Judge Mayors preliminary in junction against interference with or prosecution and sale of beer containing not more than PTS per cent alcoholic con- tent.
 The original order restrained Richard McElligott. acting collector of internal revenue, from interfering with the> man. ufacture or sale of 2.75 per cent beer pending legal decision as to whether it was intoxicating" It also forbade United States Attorney Francis G. Caf- fey from prosecuting the brewers and re- tailers of such beer. The appellate court decision strikes out the injunction ''pendente lite' against the federal pros- ecutor, making it possible for him to pro- ceed as he sees fit, but continues in force the injunction against McElligott regarding whom the court makes this ob ; servation:
 ''The injunction against the acting col lector of internal revenue can do no harm"
 Emory R. Buckner of counsel for the brewing interests. declared the appellate court decision was clear victory for his clients, and that the right to man
 
 July was assured.
 The brewers were ready to prove. he said. that beer of that potency was ''nonintoxicating.' and it was now up to the courts to decide whether wartime prohibition forbade the sale of all beer or merely Intoxicating beer.
 Cornelius J. Smyth. appellant United States district attorney, one of the draft CTS of the governments brief in the pending litigation. maintained the appel late court decision gave the brewers less of an advantage than they possessed under the original injunction. He char acterized as optimistic" the statements by counsel for the brewers that the lat ter could continue manufacturing 2-75 per cent beer. The decision. he pointed out, would not exempt the brewera or retailers from prosecution under the fed eral wartime prohibition act. which pro- vides | years imprisonment or &eoo fine or both
