ONLY NINE LYNcHINGs

According to the Tuskegee Institute
annual bulletin on the subject, only per.
sons were lynched in the United States last
year, the smallest number in any year ex-
celt one since records have been kept,
that being 1882, when there were only 8
lynchings.
All persons lynched in 1886 were
Negroes, and the offenses charged were
Rape, 8; attempted rape, 8; murder, / J;
activity. in share cropper strike, /; charge
not reported, L. Lynchings occurred in
the following states: Arkansas, q Flor
ida, 1; Georgia, 5; Mississippi, 1.
Figures compiled at Tuskegee in
dicate that officers of the law saved 50
persons from death at the hands of mobs
during the year, and of this number 7
were white.
The crime of lynching has greatly de-
creased in recent years, due largely to in
creased vigilance on the part of officers of
the law, and especially through prompt
removal of certain classes of suspected
criminals to more secure prisons at con-
siderable distance from the localities where
these crimes were committed.
Lynching in the United States reached
its most frightful height in 1892, when no
less than 231 persons were killed by mobs,
50 of the victims being white. During the
last five years lynchings have occurred as
follows: In 1882, 8; in 1888, %; in 1884,
Is; in 1885, 20; in 1886, 9.
The resort to lynching is indefensible
under any circumstances, and is a reflec-
ton upon any community in which it oc-
ours. No good citizen will participate in
or condone mob murder

is MENTAL TELEPATHY A FACT?

Human beings, as a rule, are inter-
ested in the unknown and exceedingly
anxious, if possible, to believe in mys-
FERROUS forces and powers. For decades
there has been much discussion over so
called mental telepathy' or thought
transference from one mind to another
without direct physical contact having
been established
1t is interesting to call attention to
experiments conducted by Prof Joseph
Banks Rhine, of Duke University, who, for
six years, has been attempting to deter
mine whether telepathy or clairvoyance
actually exists. He has used pack of
playing cards in 100000 tests, securing
results far beyond the laws of probability.
One particularly sensitive subject was
able to perform thirty-three times as well
as the indicated probable error under the
rules of chance. He reports that distance
makes little difference in the experiments
and that the guessing is just as good at
distances of hundreds of miles as when
the subjects are in the same room.
AS a result of his work, psychologists
are tending toward the conclusion that
telepathy is no longer to be regarded as a
superstition but to be classed as a scien-
tific fact

ANOTHER SHOLTZ ERROR
tDaytona Beach Sun Reeord)

Governor Dave Shotz has made a mistake.
We feel sorry for him whether it be a mistake of
Judgment or whether he has let personal feelings
get tie best of him. He has forgotten his obga-
ton to all the people of Florida. This is in
excusable for one so high the trust of the peo-
pie.
The Sun Record condemns Dave Sholtz for
his action in bringing about condition costly
to Daytona Beach and its citizens on the Of his
departure from public office
Fortunately all the fireworks will not affect
the future progress of Daytona Beach. Dave
Sholtz' action has caused lot of excitement and
concern even ALARM but the smoke will soon clear
ad we all viii be reminded of the attempt of the
,nlap lwho wanted everlasting glory and who en-
pIoveda assky writer to spell his name across the
sskya4a rev whiffs of wind and it gone.
fe In another 30 hours Dave Sholtz will no
longer be Governor and this regrettable move on
his part will not be forgotten by the people of
Daytona Beach.
However, to dwell an incident that con-
structs nothing is folly. Let US look ahead to the
new Chief Executive of the State
The Sun Record feels that Dave Sholtz' last
action has brought him the deserved criticism he
might well have avoided. 1t win cost him count
less friendships he might have retained and Day
tona Beach will always remember the action that
put its name into the headlines all over the
world Goodbye. Dave Sholtz.

You and Your ,
Nations Affairs
Liberal VS.. Conservative
By ERNEST MINOR PATTERSON
President american academy OF Political and Social Science

But time has removed ermodifed
some Of the issues and in 1886 the
situation was confusing. Apparently
the parties are seeking new posi-
t.t rs, and maneuvers in Congress
may indicate some Of the trends. In
Great Britain for many years there
has been quite clear opposition
between the parties known as Con-
sentative and Liberal. Recently the
Liberal Party has diminished in inn
porta ce. its place. to large ex-
tent. being taken by the Labor Party.
Put the fundamental distinction is
still there-that between Conserva-
tive and Liberal. e4f
It is to be hoped that a, similar
alignment will be developed in the
United States. In fact. there are many
signs that it is appearing Liberal
Republicans show tendency to shift
to the Democratic ranks and many
conservative Democrats are joining
with the Republicans. sHh
Probably it will be difficult to de-
velop so clear and simple a. division
between these two viewpoints as ex-
lists in Great Britain. The United
States is much larger and more va
ried in its resources. Some parts Of
the country are more developed than
others, Our population. LOO. is mix
ture Of peoples with different back
grounds and ideals. 1t will not be
easy for the Republicans to frame a
pls torn that will seem. conservative
10 everybody in an parts Of the coun-
try. The Democrats also will find it
diffic1ltko list a set of principles that
will be universally viewed as liberal.
, Let US hope. however. that an at
teihpt will be made. The campaign OF
1886 was one in which the parties
have really agreed on many impor-
tant matters and clearly differed on
only a few. For the most part we
we're compelled to listen to rival
claims about efficiency and honesty
Of administration. These are highly
| important but it will be far better if
in the future the major parties can
