There is no danger that the Ameri-

is to be noted today. The laboring

hoods have prOspered. They rightly
take to themselves a share of credit
for obtaining higher wages, shorter

been limited to the principals, but
through necessity have been shared
with the great mass of labOring people.

KENTUCKY's REAL GOVERNOR
New York World.

: The new Republican, governor Of
Kentucky. Edwin P. MORROW by
name told a mob vent upon 1ynchin8
a negro murderer At that moment
on trial hat a militia company on
duty by his orders had been in
structed to shoot to kill and the event
demonstrated the truth of his State
ment and the firmness OF his pur-
pose.
Five persons are dead as the result
of the firing. hut sad as was the ne
cesadty for the sacrifice of their lives,
the most abhorrent thing that per-
ished at Lexington was the spirit of
l~awlessness. Four thousand people
moving in concert to override gov
eminent were instantly transformed
by hat volley into fugitives having
respect az never before perhaps for
the force if not the forms Of law.
While this tragedy was being n
acted, orderly juStice 80 defended
proceeding in the adjacent court
house to the conviction Of the pris-
oner by due process. Thus the maj
esty Of law al v~indicated in two
almost in the same spot. With
4 Governor Morrow in every state
where the evil prevails, the lynching
would soon become only

preme court il necessary to procure a
civil trial. The court martial then
