'WHEN the human brute who had assaulted and murdered the daughter of a preacher 3 | in Delaware was arrested and held for trial in September, there were many angry protests Angainst tha delay, but it appears that no violente | would have been attempted had not a hot-headed preacher in Wilmington taken it upon himself to preach a fiery sermon denouncing the law’s delay | and suggesting lynch law as a remedy. Such at any rate is the opinion of a considerable number of peo- ',’ple in Wilmington, for after the outburst of mob violence, several complaints were made against the preacher and the law officers were requested to have him arrested on a charge of inciting to riot. | The petition of the complainants was refused by the city solicitor on the ground that the words used by the preacher in his sermon were not of a nature | to sustain the charge. Furthermore by way of an- swer to the criticisms upon the sermon, the congre- 'galion adopted resolutions indorsing the stand taken { by the pastor. It is therefore to be conceded that the words spoken were neither illegal nor out of | harmony with.public sentiment. Nevertheless it is that this minister of the gospel did at a |time of intense excitement speak words tending to | cause distrust of the courts, contempt for law, dis- : regard for life, and to rouse all those lawless passions that impelled men to the commission of a crime E about as atrocious as that of which the offender was | dccused. | It is to be noted that the diatribe of the excited pastor was absolutely without reasonable justifica- tion. It can be defended oniy upon the plea that the preacher was as excited as any of the ignorant crowd whose passions he appealed. The officers of the | court had made ample explahation of the reason for | holding the accused to answer in September. ! statement was that, had the undertaken an the Judges would have been com- quite cl tc courts pelled to grant the prisoner a change of venue on ‘ account of the very evident popular rage and prej- | | udice against him. They believed that justice could | be best assured by a temporary delay. That argu- nt is valid to merit the re- pect of intelligent men. and yet because of the de- |1ay, ‘this pastor of the people, this preacher of the gospel, mounts his pulpit on Sunday morning and pmrccd< to denounce courts, Judges and law alike, | declaring that the responsibility of lynch law and moh violence rested upon the Judges themselves The inciting words were the more unjustifiable be- e the father .of the murdered girl had himself certainly sufficiently fu unseled obedience to the law. to his fellow citizens, speaking in the name of his he “We.ask you us appeal to all citizens of our commonwealth to re- frain from violence. Let us not.try to atone for one ‘(rimc by committing another.” The voice of violence was heard above the voice i reason, and now the echoes bring back further strife and hatred. In that same city of Wilmington, a colored preacher, incited to a zeal as ad as that of the white preacher, has been inflam- the whites and He is reported as saying to his congregation: “The white man heathen, monstrosity beiore God, and is | equal to any act in the category of crime.

Once more the weather is called in to account for the phenomenon. It is gratifying to note that the Eastern press is doing all it can to calm the public.

HEN the question of establishing a pro- tective tariff comes fairly before the British V'V people for decision it is not improbable that a considerable number of voters will cast their bal- lots for protection, not upon economic grounds, nor yet from a desire for imperial federation, but solely because of a belief that it is necessary to protect British agriculture for the sake of preserving the vigor of the British race. That phase of the ques- tion has already been presented in reviews, maga- zines and newspapers, and the evidence is certainly | strong enough to show that a rapid deterioration{ has taken place in British physique owing to the decreasing percentage of people who have the benefit | of growing up amid rural surroundings. At the present time more than 77 per cent of the population of England is utban, and while.Scotland, Ireland and Wales make a little better showing, still even in those parts of the kingdom: the percéntage of urban population is very high. In Germany the | urban population is but 36 per cent, while in France it is-only 25. It will be sseen then that -ii countries the advantages of the rising ge Figures compiled to show the injurious effiects of urban life upon the population show that in réér\m- ing for the army it has been found necessary to | reject an increasing proportion of applicants, ‘not- withstanding the fact that the .army standardvhas been itself reduced. One of these statements presented. by a writer in the Nineteenth Century says: “In 1845 the standard of height was 3 feet 6 inches. The proportion nII soldiers under that height in that year was 105 in the thousand; in 1887 the proportion was 528, and | in 1000 it was 365 the thousand. It was found de- sirable to reduce the standard in 1872 to 5 feet 5| inches; in 1883 to 5 feet 3 inches; in 1897 to 3 feet 2 inches, and in 1901 permission was given to enlist men as low as 5 feet in height. The standard chest measurement was reduced from 34 inches to 33 inches in 1883: the proportion of men in the army of less than the standard chest measurement has in- | creased from 17 per thousand in 1839 to 23 per thou- sand in 1808. In 1880 43.8 per cent of the army re- cruits exceeded 37 inches around the chest: in 1899 | this percentage had fallen to 4.22. The proportion of | recruits accepted who weighed less than 120 pr)undsi was 15.04 per cent in 1871; it has steadily grown, the enlistment of 1900 sholing over 30 per cent under this weight.” i Two suggestions have been made in the way providing a remedy against further physical deterior- ation: one is that of establishing a wniversal drilling of the people similar-to that of the army systems of France and Germany: the other is that of providing means for bringing the people baak to the land. It ‘likely the British will consent to the | of a military system like that of the continental nations, and moreover it is by no means drilling vigor of.the race. The more popular plan would be ; that of getting the' people back to the land, where| children would be nurtured under healthier surround- | ings than are possible to the poor of large cities. Several schemes to that end have been already pro- | posed, but until the farmer has a protection adequate | to his needs it is not at all likely that any will be widely successful Some of the plans suggested have a promise tlntr applies not to Great Britian only. In fact America | lient features. Among the most notable is one described as “garden cities,” | which consists in proposing the creation of a num-f ber of homes each with its gatden in the suburbs of | a great city, and operated under conditions that ad- mit of ownership by day laborers, and also of the | cultivation of small farms of from-five to ten acres in easy distance of city markets. The issue has engaged the attention of statesmen as well as of critics and sociologists. Recently Lord Rosebery stated that it would be useless to main- tain the empire unless there can be developed an “imperial race.” So, too, such men as Earl Grey and Major General Maurice have expressed grave con- | cern over the physical condition of the people.
