THE MOB SPIRIT AND THE LAW

Recent dispatches from various parts of the United States indicate an increasing tendency to resort to mob law for the purpose of wreak- ing summary vengeance on prisoner who is either awaiting trial OF under sentence of death for some serious crime.
 This manifestation of a IawlcsS spirit is not confined to any special section of the country. II has asserted itself of late in communities long noted for the IaW-abidimg character of their people, and, fl is therefore all the more to be rcprchcndcd. One of the latest instances is reported from an old fashioned Massachu- sctts town where the authorities were com peed to resort to extraordinary precautions to prevent a mob from breaking jail and lynch ing three culprits charged with grave crimes
 In the Massachusetts case the prisoners were in jail awaiting trial, and 1t was safe to assume that the courts would deal with them accord ing to their deserts. But the impatient mob wanted vengeance, ont justice, and was eager to subordinate the ordinary processes of civ ilization to its own primitive and savage mo- tions of right.
 It can not be too emphatically asserted that this is land of law and order and that there can be no toleration of the mob spirit under any pretext, or whatever may be the provoca- tion. Justice is, and must continue to be, su- preme in this land of liberty regulated by law Scranton Republican.

A GOOD PEACE DELEGATION

The president has made fortunate soIoc tion in his choice of the American rcprcscn tativcs to the peace conference All of them gre men of experience and of recognized abiIi tv. None of them Is given to chasing moon beams.
 There is ground for confidence that they will do their best to solve the problems con fronting the country without sacrificing its cs scntial interests Their record indicates they will not be satisfied with pleasant words where real guarantees are necessary; that thov will not pledge the nation to course invoIv- ju@ solitary mprcparedncss in a world where mprparedncss has been an invitation to ag @r"ssivo action on the part of the unscru- puIous.
 There is far more hope of substantial prog. ross toward peace with such a delegation than there could possibly be from dcIcga- tion of ardent and sincere visionarics-Kan- sas City Star.

WRECKED BY SABOTAGE

The Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad has been abandoned. For more than 300 miles, between Joplin, Missouri and Helena, Ar kansas, people are marOOncd so far as the ser vices of this line are concerned. They are back to the conditions of prc-railroad days Crops are going to waste. Potentially prosper ous communities are striken with progressive industrial and commercial paralysis. Business in many places is in state of suspended ami nation.
 The hand that has imposed this blight IS the hand of radical labor unionism The req son the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad has been abandoned is not found in lack of men ready and willing to do its work. There is an abundance of such. Enough train crews and other employees are available to keep the wheels turning and the traffic moving all along the line But the road is under the ban of a strike
 When the receiver of the road announced a 20 per cent reduction in wages last February the union employees left their jobs. Rcfus- ing to work themselves, they have been indus triOusly engaged in creating such conditions as to prevent anybody else from working. In statement announcing the abandonment of the transportation service the receiver spcci- fled in detail the methods of destructive cocr- ciOn the strikers have employed.
 Bridges have been buncd bombs have been placed in locomotives and coal chutcs; ob- structons have been laid on the tracks; air hose connections have been cut; water tanks have been drained; destructive chemicals have been introduced into boilers; emery and sim liar dusts have been used to damage equip mcnt; employees have been interfered with in their duties, and so on and on through all the tricks of sabotage known to militant an archy. The receiver thus sums up the result:
 "Thc present situation, which is a tragedy 10 the people dependent upon this railroad for service, is one which is beyond the control of the present management and the financial loss traccablc and directly due to dcprcdation~ and interference has been the greatest factor in the necessity of discontinuancc of opera tiOn'
 The receiver speaks of this state of affairs 0S a tragedy to the people dependent upon the road for service. Ii is far more than that It is a tragedy to all the people of the two great states whose jurisdiction is involved. It is confession of the impotence of laws. II is an acknowledgment of inability to protect the American citizen in his right to work for living against the violence of those who take the position that they will not work them selves and will not let anybody else york; New York Herald.
