Therefore protection from the negro and his proper discipline require a Demo- cratic victory mext year! The inner consciousness of Mr. Gorman desired to widely impress it upon the country that civiliza- tion is at stake and its synonym is Democracy, while its anonym is Republicanism. Then the trusts, lis- | tening from afar and resting from the run they have had to escape from Mr. Bryan, heaved a sigh of re- lief, and the spirit that lives inside of Mr. Gorman, but is no more a part of his outside than the lamp is of the lighthouse, winked one eye. England and France, it is reported, are rapidly reaching the stage where they are ready to discuss, in all seriousness, the reduction of their enormous naval equipments. It is safe to assume that the affair will remain in the discussion stage for generations to come. Nations like individuals keep the peace and treat their associates with respect simply because they are afraid of the other fellow. The very momentous problem whether or not a city employe has the right to draw from the munici- pality the money he earns if he have debts is now exercising the legal brains and taxing the lore of the members of the Supreme Court. Perhaps the ancient query, “Is borrowed money your own?” might be a fairly reasonable basis ‘from which to argue the new issue to a solution. which next year’s Democracy | | THE RIGHT TALK. GAINST the mad spirit of lynching that has A been so fearful in its manifestations of late there has now appeared the spirit of law speaking in the voice of the press and of the com- mon sense of the people. The mob spirit has im- pelled its votaries to action. The spirit of law has thus far hardly gone further than to rouse men to right utterance in the way of protest and denuncia- tion. So long as the one spirit acts and the other confines itself to talk we shall have lynchings and mob violences without number; but when once the speech of the advocates of law has roused the popu- | lar will we shall see an end put to lynching about as swiftly as ever lynching itself put an end to the life of one of its victims. It would be better if our American law could get itself enforced with such firmness that mobs and | lynchings would be virtually unknown among us. We are, however, so jealous of popular liberties that we have provided no way for the summary punish- ment of outrages of that kind. Thus what appeared a few years ago to be no more than an outburst of brutal race prejudice in remote rural districts of the South has now become so common that hardly a week passes without the occurrence of some new out- rage of the kind, and these take place not only in the South and in sparsely settled districts, but in the North and the East and in large cities. So frequent have such offenses become that | thoughtful men no longer look upon them as mere | sporadic outbreaks of a criminal tendency, but as evi | dences of a growing moral disease throughout the na- | tion. Thus Professor James of Harvard recently said that Iynching can no longer be regarded as “a tran- [ sient contagion destined soon to exhaust its viru- | lence,” but must be studied as “a profound social disease, spreading now like a forest fire, and certain to become permanently endemic in every corner of | our country, North and South, unless heroic reme- | dies are swiitly adopted to check it.” A rapidly increasing number of law-abiding men | are forming opinions on the subject not essentially to those of Professor James. In due dissimilar of the people, and when that happens lynchers will have to look out. It will be no longer possible for | them to get public officers to overlook their crimes | or juries to acquit. them in the face of convicting | evidence. They will have to meet an aroused public | conscience and take the consequences. The “right talk”—the talk that helping to form a resolute public sentiment on the subject and | to infuse it ‘with a vigor that will prompt to stern ac- | tion—is heard not only in the North, but in the | South as well. Over and over again strong, influen- | tial and popular men in Kentucky, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi have spoken frankly and fearlessly in condemnation of Iynch law, no matter upon what pretext it is re- sorted to. and their words have found support from the leading papers of the South. The old voices of apology, palliation or extenuation of the crimes of the mob are no longer heard so dominantly as of old. The voice of protest has become the stronger of the two, and ere long it will control the situation and dictate the action of officials and juries. A good iilustration of the improved tone of the press of the South on the subject is found in a re- cent declaration of the Charleston News and Courier. After referring to the action of the law officers in Massachusetts in bringing to trial a number of riot- ers in that State it went on to say: “There is no reason why we should be concerned about the affair in Massachusetts. What we are particularly con- cerned about just now is what we shall do with our latest lynching affair in South Carolina. Surely | Governor Hayward will not permit the murder com- mitted in Aiken County last Friday night by a mob to pass without the most vigorous prosecution. It will be a reproach to South Carolina, already cov- ered with reproaches of the same sort shamefully de- served, if all the authority and power of the execu- tive department at Columbia is not exhausted in an effort to bring the guilty to judgment in this case. We cannot hope to deserve the good opinion of the outside world, or merit even seli-respect, if we do not now and in this case make a determined effort to | punish all who participated in it.” Sentiments of that kind spoken or written with earnest insistence are bound in the end to bring about a right tone of public sentiment, and with that will come a solution of the problem that now appears to be so menacing to our civilization. Mobs and lynchers may go on for a little while longer with impunity, but a day of reckoning is coming, and American law will be vindicated by the American people: is The fellow who aimed at aphoristic wisdom and said that talk is cheap evidently never tried the ex- periment on a long distance telephone. | DELAY AT BOGOTA. | B OGOTA is so far away from the world of live news that it is not easy to follow the pro- ceedings of the Colombian Congress with re- spect to the canal treaty. In place of information we get rumors, and instead ‘of exact statements we get somebody’s estimate of the chances. Even the State Department at Washington appears to be ignorant to[ the real situation, and the officials enjoy the dip- | lomatic luxury of swearing they do not know with- out telling a lie. | The latest advices are that President Marroquin is sanguine he can procure the ratification of the treaty if he is given time, and will ask our Govern- | ment to grant an extension of the limit fixed for the ratification. It is reported that if the request be made it will be granted; and furthermore it is | announced that in view of the unsatisfactory tele- | graphic communication between Washington and 1 Bogota it is probable that in addition to granting the extension Mr, Beaupre, the United States Min- ister to Colombia, will be authorized to make a fur- ther extension should it be needed. All these reports and probabilities are based upon | the assumption that the opponents of the treaty are | aware they cannot defeat it if brought to a vote, and | consequently are playing for time. The report says: | “The opponents of the treaty in the Colombian Con- gress are prolonging the discussion of the convention in order to prevent a vote being taken in both houses in season to secure an exchange of ratifica- tions. There appears to be little doubt that if a vote could be had on the treaty it would be ratified by a good majority, but the opponents of the measure prefer to filibuster against final action upon it and delay its ratification rather than to permit a vote and go upon record as favoring its rejection.” Among other annoyances of the situation is a re- ported disagreement between the Colombian Gov- ernment and- the companies controlling the telegraph service. The cause of the disagreement has not | time their opinion will become the dominant opinion | been stated, but evidently something is wrong, for the State Department has not been able to get re- sponses from Mr. Beaupre to several important mes- sages sent some time ago. It appears, in fact, that the only thing we can do is to wait. Nothing moves quickly in South America except revolutions. Mar- roquin’s request for more time is not surprising. Perhaps some day the filibusters will go out of town to a cockfight, and then the administration men can ratify the treaty and make way for the construc- tion of the great canal. P —— The brand of war is burning at last in the Balkans. For the unspeakable Turk a good drubbing is always in the nature of things heartily to be wished and the Macedonians need a few lessons from shot and shell. Civilized nations may look therefore upon the con- | test with perfect composure, which is not indifference, but a deep desire to see both combatants soundly thrash each other. ' IMPORTED DAINTIES. ASTERN reports announce that Secretary i E Schultz of the Milwaukee Health Department is framing an ordinance fixing a legal standard ‘ior food furnished by hotels and boarding-houses. It | is not likely the ordinance will be enacted even if | it be reported, for it has been greeted with so much merriment and mockery that it can hardly be ex- | pected to withstand the gale. In fact, it is not im- probable that by this time the would-be reformer | has put his bill away and is trying to convince the | public that he was joking from the start. i There would be, however, some merit in such a | bill provided it were made to run against the richer | restaurants and the higher priced hotels, for it is in such places that the unsuspecting American is most likely to be made the victim of spurious foods and ;fraudulent delicacies. The ordinary foods of the | American people, beef, beans, hash and hominy, are Jvery apt to be the real thing even if served in res- ‘taurants where a square meal: can be obtained for |15 cents; but when one aspires to foreign luxuries, | to truifles and pate de foie gras, he is liable to catch a sophisticated decoction nine times out of ten. There has just been given out at Washington a | summary of a report from Consul Guenther of | Frankfort on the extent to which adulteration is practiced in the manufacture of some of the finer table delicacies for which Germany and France are | is made into Strassburger pate de foie gras by means | of borax or salicylic acid and of finely chopped and cleverly distributed pieces of black silk, representing | | truffles. Cosmos, a German paper, states that, un- | der the label of canned lobsters, the soft parts of the | cuttlefish and crabs are sold. In Paris snails are dulterated with lungs of cattle and horses.. Even en- | tirely artificial snails are manufactured. The shells, | recoated with slime, are filled with lung and then sold | as ‘Burgundy snails.” Chopped artificial truffles are [made of black rubber, silk or softened leather, and ie\'en whole truffles are made out of roasted potatoes, flavored by ether. They are said to sell well.” Upon the facts stated in that report Secretary | Schultz could construct a strong argument in favor | of his bill for fixing a standard of food served to the | ‘hnnest epicure of Milwaukee. A man ordering a | dainty dish fit for a king may be content to accept | | bits of black silk for “chopped truffles,” since silk is itseli a luxury and none but the rich can afford to eat it; but when a man orders whole truffles and gets either a Iot of small pieces of soft rubber ‘or of roasted potato flavored by ether he has a right to | protest, for such things are cheap and he is not get- | ting the worth of his money. So, too, 2 man has a | | right to demand. of the law a food standard so fixed | | that no one shall be permitted with impunity to meet | | a call for lobster by serving a plate of cuttlefish. The only valid objection that could be urged to the | Schultz proposition is that it would be special leg- | islation on behalf of the rich and the luxurious. The | ordinary American does not eat snails as a steady : article of diet, and is in no danger of getting a dose | of “horse lungs” by asking for choice “Burgun- | dians.” For him, therefore, the legal standard of | food served at hotels and boarding-houses would be of no benefit. Perhaps that is the reason why the | announcement of the preparation of the ordinance | has been received with such general laughter. Let ! | Secretary Schultz wait until the scientific food fiends | | begin to adulterate cornbeef hash, mince pie and | other simple foods of the masses, and then he will | | find those who have been so witty at his expense turn | to him with joy, and, hailing him as the greatest re- former of the day, mention him for the Presidency. | —— RACE SUICIDE. INCE President Roosevelt gave such decided | S expression to his views on race suicide inquiry | into the cause of decline in population has be- come active in Europe and this country. It is an interesting evidence of the influence of American thought and the far light cast by the President’s per- sonality that his views are quoted from the Thames to the Neva. Inquiry in this country has seemed to prove that the decline in the percentage of increase in the pop- ulation is not so much due to a fall in the birth rate as to the appallingly high rate of infant mortality. This is highest in cities, of course, where tenement conditions are unsanitary and humanity welters in a dense crowd. But it is too high in he rural dis- tricts and invites the immediate consideration of pre- ventive means. Infant mortality is mostly due to diseases of the digestive system and the alimentary canal. These are largely traceable to the use of im- | pure milk. The adulteration of milk or uncleanliness in handling it from the cow to the consumer must answer for wholesale slaughter of infant humanity. In France Gaston Leroux first made a survey of the milk supply. North of thé Loire he found the milk uniformly bad, poisonous and unfit for use, and found that in the same region one-half the infant mortality is caused by gastritis, the effect of using bad milk. In the smaller cities infant deaths due to that cause are: At Troyes, 69 per cent; Manset, 63; Rennes, 64; Amiens, 62; Lille, 56; but in Paris only 36. This is because in Paris is enforced the | ‘puteurizing of milk, its sterilization, by the destruc- tion of dangerous germs. South of the Loire the percentage decreases, because, as M. Leroux ex- plains, north of that river is the great butter-making region of France, while scarcely any butter is made in the south. The milk is deprived of its fats to make butter and then is adulterated to conceal its leanness and sold for consumption. Skim milk, even if not sophisticated, is an unwholesome food for in- fants, lacking in nourishment and sure to cause such physical decay in a child as to make it the easy prey of disease. It is gratifying from a hamane point of view that President Roosevelt has so stirred the world on the subject. and thousands of children everywhere will jowe their lives to him. { famous.
