THE GENTLEMAN OUTLAW
There Is one law for the nigger and tho Chinaman
who tote pistols to play bravado nnd thoro Is another
law for the gentleman who arms himself to take the
life of hip fellow man who he fancies has Insulted hlra
That is the unvarnished interpretation of recent
events In this community and unhappily It reflects a
condition and a sentiment which prevail In many parts
of tho State
We might at wall be plain about It
We retain the code duello In another form
And ho last condition Is infinitely worse than tho
first In the Old days affairs of honor were carefully
arranged both men took a shot or a sword thrust on n
given signal nnd perhaps with a show of bravery and
n little blood letting honor was sntlsfiod and the an-
tagonists shook hands
Nowadays the mnu who is aggrieved puts a gun In
his pockot and kills upon tho first convenient occasion
Gorttlcmon of high Boelnl and commercial standing
walk the fitreotss or ride the roads breathing threaten
lugs and no man raisra his hand in protest
Tho officers of the law know It and refuse to make
arrests
Citizens know It < uid refuse to make complaint
The man with a fire brand going to burn a building
would be nrreste < l lntantly but tho mnu with a
weapon resolved to kill Is unmolostod
A false and vicious notion ot bravery provnlls and
offlcbrsand Citizens nllke condone it if thuy do not ex-
pressly approve It
We need an awakening of public sentiment to teach
deluded me that honor lies another way that the law
provides amplo forms of protection and that it Is falBo
honor to revenge an Insult by making widows and or-
phans
We nood a social code that will ostracize the brag-
gart and tho bully Wo need officers that will arrest
mon who are known to bo laying for ono another nnd
put them under poaco bonds Wo need justice In tho
court blind to color or condition Wo nood u civic
awakening that will put tho brand of shnrae upon this
lnwleSB condition
Proclaim it at tho club on the streets and In tho
newspapers nnd then make It Btlck In tho court houso
that wnuton killing is murder that murder Is per-
sonal disgrace nnd nodal death that Individual von
geanco is crime and that the armed citizen Is a publlo
enemy
Down with tho gontloman outlaw I
Make hlra shunned of his fellows and lot his narao
bo nnathoma At the worst ho 13 a coward At tho
best ho Is a roflned brute
EVASION AND DIRECTNESS
There Is a contrast between tho two groat pollticnl
parties In the United States which Is dally becoming
moro apparent Tho republican party grows In tho
vagueness and uncertainty of Its professed program
being consumod nnd confused with tho vain hopo of
running with tho haro and hunting with tho hounds
while tho democratic party Is girding Usolf for tho con
test with a singleness of purpose nnd a certainly of
declaration of thnt purposo which can not fall to Ealn
for It many ndhorcnts
Tho fact that tho republicans havo no definite pol-
icy with regard to tho Philippines which thoy dnro
avow Is apparent Thoir newly inaugurated crusado
against tho trusiB Is not bolloved by senslblo persons
to be sincere Thoir campaign text book Is significant
ly Bllont as to relief to Cuba reciprocity nnd tariff ro
form
As to all of these questions tho democratic positions

ocratic party nttotnpts no crcod revision upon tho ovu
ofTjthp oloction Tho party standB squarely upon its
principles which nre not patchwork hastily put togoth
crcfor n campaign but principles whtrh havo oomo
downto us from tho dayB of Jofferson and Jackson
tlmohonored nnd timetried
Everybody oven tho onemlcs of tho party who pro

throughout tho country a great strengthening of the
democratic organization nnd tho party union and bar

people
ABUSE OF BRYAN
In tho last lssuo of the Commoner Mr Bryan has
an editorial In which ho criticises the president for his
recent speech at West PolnL Following Is an excerpt
from this editorial
But when in his West Point speech he laid aside all re-
straint and in a fit of animal enthusiasm said A good sol-
dier must not only be willing to fight he must be anxious to
fight I do not want to have anything to do with him if he
is not when he said this he turned a light upon his inner
self and revealed a moral deformity which must shock such
of his friends as arc not wholly carried hway with the bloody
and brutal gospel of imperialism If n good soldier must
be anxious to fight then it naturally follows that an ad-
ministration which desires to develop good soldiers should
surround cadets with influences calculated to infuse into
them a fighting spirit and eagerness for bloodletting If the
president really means what he sa > we may expect that his
second term if he has one will be made forever illustrious
by the inauguration of a new regime at the military academy
and in the army The ten commandments and the sermon on
the mount will be discarded anil the yellowback novel sub-
stituted for them for Thou shall not kill and Blessed arc
the peacemakers could have no proper place in a school de-
signed to train men to be anxious to fight
These aro Bovero words but thoy do not Justify a
retort llko that Indulged In by tho IJrooklyn Times
which calls Mr Bryan a campscarred and battle
scared Nebraska veteran When Mr Bryan wns tho
colonel ot a Nebraska regiment during tho war with
Spain he was kept In camp because President McKln
ley did not see fit to order him or his regiment to the
front His roadlness to go to tho front Is Bhown by
his having volunteered In tho army and put himself
undor tho orders of his chief political opponent
Too many of tho Northern papers aro permitting
themselves to Indulge In Indecorous bllllngsgato In re-
ferring to Mr Brynn who Is not a cnndldato for any
public office Hvcn if ho were thnt fact would not
render the torrent of unmeasured and ridiculous abuse
nn > thing else than regrettable Hero In America we
understand Mud slinging hnB been so long practiced
in politics that discriminating citizens do not attach a
feathers weight of Importation to tho libolers Jibes
But whnt will be thought In Europe of attacks bucIi as
these upon tho man who has been twice honored aB tho
nomineo for tho presidency of ono of tho great parties
of tho country nnd who received over 6100000 votes
in 1900 In the last lssuo of Lesllos Weokly Mr
Bryan is called a blatant selfconscious bundlo of
selfconceit a creature of circumstances a polit-
ical soldior of fortune tho most successful froo ad-
vertiser not barring tho circus or tho stage of his
time a pollticnl Lazarus For tho sake of tho repu-
tation of America abroad If truth and decency nro not
sufficient restraints is it not time for Mr Bryans po-
litical enemies to cease splashing about In such a
slough of slander
THE NEW RICE FARMING IN THE SOUTH
An nrtlclo in tho August number of tho Review of
Itovlews tolls tho story of tho rlco belt of Texas ami
Louisiana and a wonderful story it is In nil the his-
tory of agriculture no progress is moro notable than
that of tho lice farmors who have turned tho prairie
into profitable farms and in eighteen yonr have re-
claimed 350000 acres for riro culture and aro adding
50000 ncres yearly
The article referred to is by Day Allen Wliley and
Is entitled Tho New Itico Farming in tho South Mr
Wllloy states that while tho rice farmers at present
produce but twothlrdB of tho ilce used In tho United
States thoy havo already entered tho European mar-
ket nnd hope to pluce the American rico bpll In as
dominant n position as tho corn wheat nnd rotton
belts As the South rognlaW tho price of cotton In
tho worlds inaikot Mr Wllloy says the day will
come Y en wo shall dictate tho ilco market as well is
the universal sentiment Tho Japanese he points out
is content to till his plat nt onesixth of tho wages paid
the laborer in Texas nnd Louisiana but one American
with his irrigation system nnd machinery can culti-
vate a hundred acres in a yoar whore his Eastern com
petitor depending upon natural flooding and hand
tools can work but thieefouiths of an ncro
Tho nrtlolo begins with a picture of a Unrvost
Scoiq qn a Toxas Ulco Farm and Is filled with illus-
trations of rlco farm scones canals and machinery
It Is entertainingly written and full of interest nnd in-
formation
That personal difficulties can be settled without resort to
firearms is borne out by the fact that last week 01 Mitchells
corner a knockdown and drag out fight took place between a
well known citiren and another man a good scrapper That
the police knew of the fight is evident b > the fact that none
ot them were present so there were 110 arrests no killings
cacli participant plumes himself that he eternally walloped
the other fellow honor is satisfied and cerjthing is lovely

way company Houston justice has suffered too long from a

GENcnM Jakesihth has been cordially welcomed at his
old home Jake alwajs loved little children provided they
were under 10 jears of age and a man who loves childtcn

CrrAiN Tayiou in the Naval Institute says that the bat-
tleships now building are already out of dstc If this is true
the captain neglected a grand opportunity to suggest a

CitOLritA was a pretty good thing 10 long as it confined it-
self to the elimination of the Filipino but now it seems to
have got the range on our soldiers it is not so pleasant
No vcittcbr should be allowed to stand on Main street

An Epidemic of Strikes
Boston Herald
m
It is not easy without orening a set of books to keep ac-
count of all the strikes that
are occurring Two or three new
ones may be looked for in each mornings paper Not all of
them involve a large number of persons who have voluntarily
quit work but the mischief is not limited to the few who are
immediately concerned There is such an interrelation of
Industrial interests that strikes no matter in what business
or what place they occur are more than local in the disturb-
ance they cause A strike is quite as much a strike against
the community as a strike against employers The interests
and welfare of hundreds are sacrificed even by what is ac-
counted a small strike This is a consequence that makes
the public a party and Rles the public some reasonable claim
of Interference Commonly the interference is limited to
giving active sympathy to one side or the other but it l
douhtful If this limitation will always be observed If the in-
nocent are not only subject to direct losses but are forced to
pay the cost of the strike besides 11 probably will be the
case in respect to the atrlkc of the coal mlnert > js

EUROPES HOMAGE TO MORGAN
From the Chicago Chronicle >
London August 9 J Pierpont Morgan will sail for New
York on the White Star steamer Oceanic which will leave
Liverpool next Wednesday although he has anoption of
traveling on the North German Lloyd steamer Kronprinx
Wilhelm uhich will sail from SorftBamptcn the same djly
Since his arrival In Europe April 9 the steel king has
afforded the most striking proof ever witnessed that com-
merce is now the sovereign ruler of the world Emperors
kings princes premiers and chancellors have vied with each
other in paying ourt to the superior majesty ofthe mam-
moth trust maker
Mr Morgan heralded his arrival by saying I am coming
for rest But from the moment he sailed from New York
etery combinable interest on this side was plunged into a
lever of apprehensive expectancy
During his ten days stay in London he put the finishing
touches on the formation of the Atlantic shipping trust
which was proclaimed when announced as the Waterloo of
British supremacy on the sea Everything was denied abso-
lutely until the official tidings of this epochmaking oper-
ation was revealed thus increasing the shock to public con-
fidence which had been lulled into secunt by false assur-
ances
During this time Mr Morgan had a private audience with
the king in Marlborough Imiike inrt Lord Salisbury then
prime minister at Clinton Dawkms house as well as Gerald
Balfour the president of the jtvard of trade and Lord Scl
borne the first lord of the admiralty the chiefs of the two
state departments most urgently needing his freely offered
declaration that his aims were inspired by the singleminded
purpose of the good of humanity and that there was nothing
he cherished such deep affection for as continued domination
over the sras by the British mercantile marine
He crossed April 20 to Pari9 where he tried but failed
to induce the French transAtlant c emp ny to enter into
the combine
There he was waited on by M WaldeckRousseau then
the French premier to whom he gave ten minutes of his time
before leaving for AixlesBains wheie he faithfully sub-
mitted himself to the cure Tim apparently was a quiet
restful period But speculation was set aflame again by the
arrival of his steam yacht the Corsair at Gibraltar suppos-
edly to take her owner on a trip to collar anything in the
way of trade or commerce worth having in the Mediter-
ranean
+ + +
Having concluded the cure he joined the Corsair at
Venice for a cruise among the Greek isles as a restorative
after the weakening effects of the Aix douches But no soon-
er had he arrived at Brindisi than he found a dispatch from
Ambassador Choate informjng linn that King Edward earn-
estly desired to meet him at a dinner three days later in
London
Mr Morgan took n train travclid sixty hours direct to
London and arrived barely in time to try on the knee
breeches silk stockings and black levee coat ordered in ad-
vance by his son as the livery which he should don if he
wished to dine with the king
In that unAmerican apparel not without reluctance the
steel king ate dinner with Edward VII who taking him
apart afterward engaged hint n earnest conversation for
half an hpur The purpqrt qf this dialogue remains untold
but it was noted by others present that the king plied Mr
Morgan with a string of questions which seemingly were ar
Kued with the accustomed laconic directness That was the
last entertainment the king attemid bcfoic his sensational
illness
The nftxt day Mr Morgan st irtc 1 for Venice steaming
thence around the Adriatic nnl usiting Trieste where he
found an invitation awaiting him suit through the American
minister at Vienm to visit the emperor of Austria But the
steel king was obliged to decline this compliment from the
head of the house of Hapsburg havirg to return to London
to see King Edward crowned sovereign of Great Britain
nnd Ireland and of the dominions beyond the seas and em-
peror of India under the shadow of 1250000 worth of
tapestry loaned by Mr Morgan himself
T
+ + +
Finding the coronation postponed Mr Morgan again
joined his yacht and sailed tfo Ostend where in the usual
courses the king of the Belgians paid homage to the steel
king
Thence Mr Morgan steamed to Kiel in response to an
imperial invitation from he kaiser who probably has a lurk-
ing fear that the divine right if kings is rapidly being mi
peiscdfd by the divine right ot dollars At Kiel Mr Morgan
lunched and dined aboard the npcnal vacht Iloheniollern
and hid two long conferences ith the katser confessing af
tcrward that he hail been impressed by the kaiser for whom
he condescended to say he entertained a liking
Going next to Berlin hd was letrd liy the imperial chan-
cellor Count von Bulow and iy shoVered with invitations
which he declined
r < r
Since his return to Londorf he has b cen passing the time
quittl buying a1 new London mansion and some 1250000
worth of old silver now on exhibition for a hospital fund
When Arthur Balfour became prime minister his first
care seems to have been to propitiate Mr Morgan who was
bidden to meet him at 1 dinner in the house of commons
But the philosophic conservative with the best wishes in the
world found little in common with the founder of the Twen-
tieth century dynasty winch is to have the universe for its
dominion anil which aims at subordinating races rulers poli-
cies and parties to the bloodies iway of gold
Other Mens Drains
Orison Swctt Marden in the Ajtgust Success
In a recent speech Mr Carnegie suggested the following
asan appropriate epitaph for his tombstone Here lies a
iran who knew how to get around him much cleverer men
than himself Andrew C irnegio
The great majority of men who succeed in a large way do
so because of their abditv to surround themselves with able
and rhrewd associates Americans especially seem to have
an instinctive genius for estimating nnd measuring men
No man can be a leader of a great enterprise can stand
at the head of a great undertaking unless lie knows men
unless he knows how to measure and weigh them to estimate
their ability and to place them to the best advantage
A Lank president a prominent man nt the head of many
large enterprises told the writer that he owed his success to
his natural instinct for selecting men He said that he had
rurely tnade 0 mistake in picking out a man for a responsible
position and that ntter he had placed hfm he gave him to
understand that his whole reputation was at stake and that
he should hold him absolutely responsible for the success or
failure of the enterprise He said that nftcr he had selected
and placed his men it took comparatively little oversight or
ability to manage them successfully and that the results are
very satisfactory
Not every one however can place them properly Many
able men have totallv failed in greet undertakings not be-
cause they have not worked linrd but because they have not
known men they have not read human nature correctly
They have put men at the head of departments or 111 posts
of responsibility who lacked executive ability and the quali
ties of leadership
It docs not follow that because a man succeeds in doing
one thing that he can do something else successfully Many
men wrongly think that because a man can write a book or
a good leading article he can manage men There is nothing
in common in the requirements of the two tasks The leader
must have executive grasp he must he an organiicr he must
have systematic plans he must work by program or every
thing will be in confusion
The Advantage of Educatlno Ones Self
Newell Dwight Hillis in August Success
It Is unreasonable to suppose that no one but a college
graduate can be educated inthe broader meaning of that
much abused word If a young man or a young woman is
wholly undecided as to his or her future work a four years
college course may help to a decision hut if one is deter
mined to follow a special line of work he can make more
rapid progress outside a college sometimes than tn one If
for example he has chosen literature ns a profession he
study under a tutor in the subjects lie desires and proiiress can
twice as fast as in college The courses in all our universi
ties arc calculated for a medioere Student who probablv
gives more time to athletics and outside matters than
to
study An ambitious young person who is anxious to do
something In the world has to drag nlong with the others
however willing he may be to forge ahead With a tutor or
home study he can push along as rapidly as he is capable of
doing with no one to hold him back It is posshle to
enter
almost any profession after a cottfae of home study with
a college diploma I have often heard lawyers assert th
those members of the bar who studied In offices wer e invri
ably the most successful ones in practice Thev not i
h v the theory of law but alio know It in creation

men who 1 ved in England during the halt century from J850

educations The others were

selfeducated or had studied under tutors at home ins

Is a remarkable commentary on the success of the modern
system ot education It means that the young man who can
onl t study M night is under no handicap in the race for sue
cm because he is unable to spend four years in college it
is possible that he stands a better chance than the college
