LYNCH LAW IN THE NORTH

That the lynching spirit is still preFa-
Ient at Duluth is sad sign OF the
times. 1t is indeed a lamentable fact
tina, in the modcrnly developed state OF
Minnesota things are happening the
like Of which in the southern former
slave states could be explained 10 some
extent by moral immaturity and the
lack OF popular education. The occa-
slonal outbreaks OF lynch law which
have heretofore occurred in the north
ern states could generally be laid to
some rnomcntary psychological cause.
But the affair at Duluth differs in no
way from similar occurrences in Geor-
gia, Alabama or Mississippi The al
legged crime was also the same as that
which the lynchers nearer the gulf give
as an excuse for their own lawleSs-
ness. 1t is also TO be noted that the
supposed criminals were not pursued
and killed in n frenzy OF evaporation
Immediately following the crime. Tho
suspects had been arrested by the po-
lice and were held for trial in regular
judicial proceeding. There was not the
shadow OF doubt that IL convicted
they would have received just punish
ment.
The failure of the city and county
authorities OF the orc city OF the north
to curb the mob is the most serious and
lamentablc feature Of the case. For in
a democracy every government is as
strong as the will OF its citizens and
on them falls the disgrace OF the Duluth
affair.

MIR. DANIELS MAY EXPLAIN

document referred 10 before him. MT
Daniels wrote reply 20 the Senate IN
which he said that the document in
question docs not refer to the necessity
of bringing the navy 10 state OF pre-
raredness." That document has now
been brought 20 hight. In its first para
graph Il says: In view OF the immed-
late danger OF great war in Europe.
IT is good policy that the hattlcships
DC brought home. doCkcd and put IN per

the report says: We should prepare
now for tho action which would thus

recommendation of the general board
Of the navy. the only body competent
TO review the condition OF the navy as
a whole, and 20 pass upon the necessity
for special preparation. With this
