HYSTERICAL HERO WORSHIP.
There is after all considerable
Absurdity in I lie attempt being
made within and without con
gress to secure possession by the
government of Monticeilo, the
historic home of Jefferson, es
pecially when Jefferson Levy, in
whose family the properly has
been owned for several genera
tions, positively declares that I ho j
properly is not for sab* at any
price.
There would seem (<> be some
thing of hysterical hero worship
in this demand that the govern
ment shall own the home of Jef
ferson. It is true that the. states
man was a great seerelary and a
great president, but there have
been other great statesmen who
undoubtedly had homes, and it is
not noticed that there is any par
ticular clamor for the govern
ment to purchase them. Adams,
Madison, Monroe, Tyler, the two
Harrisons, (irant, Cleveland, Mc
Kinley and olhers have been dis
tinguished in their service, and
if patriotism dictates that the
home of Jefferson shall not re
main in private ownership, why
does it not demand that as soon
as a president is dead, the gov
ernment shall immediately take
possession of his home?
There have been presidents
who did not leave magnificent
homes after they passed to I heir
long rest, in fact there have been
several presidents who have had
to hustle in order to support
their families after the presiden
tial term was over. We can recol
lect the struggles of the Lincoln
family after the immortal presi
dent was stricken by the hand of
an assassin: we can remember
the heroic struggles «»f the grand
commander. (Irani. to clear him
self of debt and I• • make pro\ is
ion for his family: we can r;i!l to
mind the straits I«• which C.leve.
land was put after lie retired from
the White Mouse, and we feel
heavy «>f heart when we remem
ber that hut f«»i* I he generosity
of an individual, the invalid wife
of McKinley would have I left
destitute when the great presi
dent fell heueatll I lie hll I lei (if a
craed anarchist.
No one gainsay* that the pres
ent owners of Montecello are
keeping it up as well, probably
better than it would he done un
der government care. We can see
neither reason or justice in the
movement !<• deprive the family
of what came In 1 hem by descent.
STARTLING BUT TRUE.
Il may he that lynching «»f cer
tain kinds of criminals is a dis
grace fo the nation, and that the
taking of the law into one's own
hands i« wrong and dangerous to
a community, but what can lie
said upon the other side-.' There
aiv certain crimes against wo
man for which there is no ade
quate punishment provided by
law. A few years in the peni
tentiary with the prospect of
freedom through the exercise of
ilie pardoning power by some
weak executive, does not strike
terror into the hearts of poten
tial criminals of that sort as does
the sudden and awful uprising
of tile people and I lie horrible
death that usually follows.
(inventor Hlease. of South Car
olina. declared to the conference
of governors the other day that
he wished to serve notice lipou
the nation that so loiiu* as lie is
governor South Carolina will not
send its troops to shoot down
cilicns who are seeking to pun
ish a brute who has outraged a
woman, neither would the power
of the state he used to protect
such a one from merited punish
ment at the hands of an infuriat
ed citizenship, nor would it make
an effort to arrest the men who
Thin was such plain talk as to
almost shock the hearers, but it
is good, plain manliness never
theless, and doubtless while but
few governors have ever had the
courage to publicly avow their
opinions in such matters, still the
remark of Governor Baldwin, of
Connecticut, that no one ever
heard of a jury convicting a man
of being a lyncher, is pertinent as
indicating that at the.bottom of
his heart the average man is a
decent man and that, he believes
that no punishment is severe
enough lor the brute who will
commit the nameless crime
against womanhood.
If it is recognized that the
punishment will speedily follow
the crime and that it will be ade
quate; that the citizen will not
become a criminal when he
wreaks the vengeance of outrag
ed society upon such brutes, then
we will hear less of crimes
against womanhood, both in the
North and South.
EDITORIAL MOTES.
Russia's experience with Japan
is another reason why a general
European war is not likely.
Thus far we have no record
of what the Oovernor of Bermu
da said (o the (lovernor ol* NVw
Jersey.
A lull appreciation of our elec
tric light, service is never shown
as when an accident like yester
day's occurs.
The suffragette nuisance in
England might be abated by luck
ing the women up in colls well
supplied wilh mice.
The war has not apparently
made much difference in the price
of Turkish cigarettes, Turkish
baths or Turkish towels.
That blind Parisian banker who
robbed his patrons of $2,000,000
evidently had. like most blind
persons, a keenly developed sense
of touch.
