TIM LAW IS VISUU'ATEU.
The assassin of 1'resldeut MeKlnley,
adjudged by a Jury of his poors guilty
of murder In tho llrst degree, will to
day he sentenced to pay the penalty of
his crime. He has had a fair trial, In
strict conformity with the reipilreinciits
of the criminal statutes of New York.
Experienced ami able lawyers were as
signed to bis defense, pursuant to the
law, and although the assassin refused
to talk with or aid them they dis
charged the disagreeable duty devolved
on them by the court faithfully and
conscientiously. Expert alienists In
vestigated the mental condition of the
murderer and pronounced him sane.
The usual care was shown In selecting
the Jury. The progress of the trial was
orderly and dlgiillled. The speech of
the prosecuting attorney and the Judge's
charge were unexceptionable. The ut
most care was taken to safeguard the
assussln against possible violence. Thus
every provision and mandate of thu law
was compiled with.
As was said by Judge Lewis of the
counsel for the defense In his notable
address a deliverance which should re
ceive the attention of every citizen
the trial Is a great object lesson to the
world. Judge Lewis took occasion, nnd
u'lth entire pertinency, to rebuke those
who would Invoke lynch law against
criminals, declaring that there Is
greater danger to our Institutions from
thu doctrine, If It should become stitll
clontly prevalent, that men who are
charged with crime shall not bo per
mitted to go through thu form of trial,
than there Is from anarchism. What
every citizen should strongly feel Is
that this Is a government of law nnd
that the security and perpetuity of our
Institutions depend upon the strict ob
servance of the law in all circumstances.
The trial at 1 1 tiff it lo will undoubtedly
do much to Impress this upon the
country.
The assassin has shown that he has a
strong will. He has obstinately refused
to talk and will probably maintain si
lence to the cud, so that it seems safe
to assumu that there will be no dis
closure from him as to whether or not
he had fellow-cousplrators in the com
mission of his awful crime.
a MODMix sr.iri: i'aiu.
IJIIOWNVILLE, Neb., Sopt. 22. To the
Editor of Tho lice: Referring to you criti
cisms of tbo latu Nebraska State fair under
tho head; "Modemlzo the Stato Fair,"
friendly criticism, with purpose- to pro
duce bettor work and more beneficial re
sults, Is always In order and welcome. '
You say, "A stato fair should bo an ex
position of tho products and resources (wo
add 'possibilities nnd promises') of tho
wbolo stato." This Is truo anil has been
ever tho object of tho Stato Hoard of Ag
riculture. Wo have never been able to
obtain exhibits from all tho ninety counties
In tho stato at ono fair. No state In the
union has over dono this. All, or nearly
all, counties lu Nebraska havo from tlmo
to time, been represented at tho stato fair.
At tho last fair tho different sections of tho
stato were moro than ordinarily well rep
resented, nnd to satisfaction of all con
cerned. You further say, "Tho twentioth century
state fair should ho an exposition In the
miniature. The Installation should con
trmplatn a subdivision by departments,
Including agriculture, horticulture, dairy,
apiary, livestock, manufactures, etc." This
.Is precisely what tho management of tho
state fair has always aimed to do, enlarging
from year to year. Wo provide now for agri
culture, horticulture, floriculture, horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, dairy, apiary,
manufactures, arts and woman's work, all
In separata and distinct departments, each
department under supervision of separate,
experienced superintendents. To secure the
best posslblo presentation of all these wo
ofter premiums In thu sum of $30,000 an
nually. This Is tho plan or system prac
ticed by all fairs and expositions In the
world. Patrons who visit tho Nobraska
Stato fairs and expositions encourage with
expressions that wo aro doing a great work.
Such commendations as to tho late fair
were moro thnn usually flattering, yet with
a desire to act In harmony with tho pro
gressiva ago In which wo llvo thero Is
abundant room for Improvement from year
to year.
You object to a premium plan to obtain
results sought for in fair work. This. In
all respects, Is a money making era. Men
are annually less Inclined to work in th;so
times for their health or glory. Money
rewards solely prompt Individuals to action
In making fairs.
Tho management most cheerfully and
willingly listens to and considers plans for
bettor work and results. Will you kindly
formtilato and favor tho board with, a sub
stitute better than tho premium plan? If
this can be done, I assuro you tho board
will thank you nnd be pleased to adopt It.
IlOnEUT W. FU11NAS.
Serretary Nobrnska Stato Ooard of Agri
culture. Tho demand for twentieth century
methods In future stato fairs does not
spring from nny antagonism to the pres
ent board of nianngers or any of Its
ollieers. We believe tho country has
outgrown the conglomerate exhibition
of farm products regardless of quantity
or perspective. Wo bellevo (hat tho
practice of depending upon caprice or
accident In the collection Of exhibits
through premium offers Is an absolute
drawback to a satisfactory advertise
ment of the resources and capabilities
of tho state. The only class of exhibits
for which tho premium system may bo
essential Is live stock. All other pro
ducts of farm, orchard and dairy, mill
or factory can be procured for money,
diplomas and medals.
If thu board would devote ?1!0,000 of
the .?:t0,0)6 which It annually sots
apart for premiums to the purehafio of
high grade agricultural and horticul
tural and dairy products lu limited
quantities' from all sections of the state,
every county In Nebraska would bo
creditably represented in some depart
ment. Instead of having exhibits from
only fifteen to twenty out of tho ninety
eouutlys, collected at random without
respect to space or volume, we would
have a symmetrical exhibit covering
the entire state.
In other words,, while tho magnitude
of a nineteenth century stale fair Is a
matter of uncertainty until threu or
four days before the opening of tho
gales, the extent of a twentieth ceutury
state ralr could be foretold with pre
cision months before It Is opened, bar
ring only seasons of general crop failure
or disaster, ruder the old method no
one can foretell with any degree of cer
tainty how much space will bo needed
for any department of Industry or
whether all the classes of exhibits will
be represented, In tho modern state
fair tucro uccd be no guesswork or
chance of falling down with nny class
of exhibits.
The problem of the modern state fair
will be not to llnd exhibits to 1111 space,
but to choose between an overstipply
of the very best.
HVl.WVKS IS HEVWIIUCITV
At the cabinet meeting Tuesday, Presi
dent Koosovolt Is said to have plainly
Indicated by his remarks that he be
lieves strongly In the trade reciprocity
principle, Hu had before Indicated this
In the public statement that he should
adhere Io the policies of his predecessor.
What he said In the cabinet meeting,
however, makes asstirauce doubly sure
and will serve to remove any doubt
thnt may have existed as to the Inten
tion of the administration to urge upon
congress the acceptance of this prin
ciple, which the senate of the last con
gress virtually rejected.
There Is uncertainty as to whether
thu efforts of the administration In this
direction will succeed, lu splto of the
strong reasons presented In behnlf of
reciprocity by the late president In his
historic Uuffnlo address. There Is no
doubt that the policy will not be Ig
nored by the senate tit the coining ses
sion. It will have advocates lu that
body who were unwilling to consider
it at the last session. Hut the Indica
tions are that It will encounter a strong
opposition. According to Washington
advices the president and cabinet have
heard from many quarters of tho strug
gle that Is to be forced upon them In
carrying out this part of .Mr. MeKlnley's
policy. Senators from many states, It
Is said, have been to the president, uskt
lug him to do nothing about the pending
treaties. Some of them, It Is alleged,
have gone so far as to say that he
should have no policy they do not want
him to adopt.
"Whether or not such reports be true,
the country can depend upon President
Iloosevelt to steadfastly adhere to the
assurances he has given. He has
reached no hasty conclusions lu regard
to the policies to which he Is com
mitted and those who know the char
acter of the president should under
stand that not only will he not abandon
those policies, but will strenuously urge
them. As to reciprocity, there Is no
question thnt hu earnestly believes, as
Mr. MeKlnley believed, that It Is neces
sary to the extension of otir foreign
trade. "Only a broad and enlightened
policy will keep what we have," said
MeKlnley. "No other policy will get
more. Hy sensible trade arrangements
which will not interrupt our home pro
duction wu shall extend the outlets for
our Increasing surplus. We must not
ruposu in fancied security that we can
forever sell everything and buy little or
nothing. Reciprocity Is the natural out
growth of our wonderful Industrial de
velopment under the domestic policy
now llrmly established. The period of
excluslveness Is past. The expansion of
our trade ami commerce Is the pressing
problem. Commercial wars are tin
prolltablo. A policy of good will and
friendly trade relations will prevent re
prisals. Reciprocity treaties are lu
harmony with the spirit of the times;
measures of retaliation are not."
In giving expression to these views
Mr. MeKlnley had In mind the welfare
of thu whole country. Hu knew that
certain Interests were hostile to reci
procity, but ho contemplated the gen
eral good. Hu spoke for a policy which
he believed would bring tho greatest
good to the greatest number. This Is
also thu position of his successor nnd
it Is consistently republican.
IUH THE AMKHICA'S CUP,
The great International sporting event
of tho year, the races for the America's
cup, will begin today, when tho llrst
race between thu yachts Columbia and
Shamrock II will bu sailed, thu second
race following on .Saturday, tho third
on Tuesday of next week and thu fourth
aud tlfth, If necessary, on tho succeed
ing Thursday and Saturday. That Is
according to tho schedule, but weather
or other conditions may render a change
necessary. If onu of tho yachts should
win three races straight the other con
tests will be unnecessary.
Tho Interest In thu event In eastern
yachting circles Is strong ' and It Is
thought that the English yacht will
prove to be a llttlo superior to any of
her predecessors. Her trial trips since
she enmu Into American waters have
given her owner and captain great con
fidence nnd set the experts to guessing.
There appears to be no lack of conll
deuce, however, In the Columbia, If the
betting Is a criterion, for both hero and
In England Americans are gjvlng odds
on the cup defender. Twenty-four races
have been sailed In tho last fifty years
for the America's cup, Including the
Initial race, aud of these the American
yacht has won all save one. It Is quite
possible that this time the cup will be
taken back to England.
The Loudon Times compliments Jn
pan upon having tho best understand
ing of tho Chinese situation and tak
ing the most rational course to settle
tho eastern dlfllcultles. If the Eu
ropean powers could only put aside
their plaus for Kcltlsh aggrandizement
long enough to net on the suggestions
of Japan nnd of tho United States the
eastern question could bu speedily and
permanently settled. So long as the
settlement Is only a part of tho Jockey
Ing for position lu tho race for future
territorial grabs not much can be ex
pected. Not n candidate who Is trying to tide
Into nomination on thu republican
county ticket by declaiming against
tho city administration would, If nom
inated, lose twenty-four hours without
waiting oil Muyor Moores In person or
by proxy with au appeal for his actlvo
support Tho antl-adinlnlstratlon cry
may look seductive lu a primary
tight, but If It really worked It would
be called lu quick nfter the convention.
Those disposed to criticize tho man
agement of tho American army for
the large percentage of deaths from
disease compared with those actually
killed lu action will llnd food for re
flection lu tho statistics of the German
casualties la Chlua. Sixteen men were
kilted lu action, while IS I died from
dlsense. The Herman army is admit
tedly one of the best equipped and or
ganized forces In the world nnd the
Gorman Is generally considered as
healthy a specimen of humanity tis Is
to be found anywhere. The proportion
has never been so greatly at variance
lu the American army, even In the
tropics. After all has been said the
American soldier Is the best cared Tor
of any soldier lu tho world.
The latest is a projected trust In pro
fessional athletics. Itasu ball and horse
racing nre the only sports which have
long retained favor after falling Into
the hands of professionals. Even these
favorites cannot survive If the element
of honest endeavor Is eliminated, as
would certainly be the case In event of
syndicate control. Men of money might
succeed In gaining control of all profes
sional sport, but they cannot force peo
ple to patronize It.
The attitude of Czolgosz before and
during his trial Is the most peculiar
noted In the criminal annals of the
country. Nothing he has said or done
at nny time gives the least clue to his
motives or provides an anower to the
question whether ho Is mentally re
sponsible. If he persists In his present
course to the time of execution students
of criminology will have a subject to
keep them busy for a loug time.
Columbus, O., Is plauulug to erect au

his wisu statesmanship they owe much
of their present prosperity.

The McKinley Epoch
Philadelphia
The McKlnley-Roosevelt administration
will havo n significant place In the annals
of our country, aside from the tragic cir
cumstances attending tho transfer of power
from the deceased president to his succes
sor. It Is an epoch marking the beginning
of the fourth era lu tho development of the
Putted States under the constitution. The
beginning of each era In our history has
been signalized by tho presence In the ex
ecutive chair of one of tho great presidents,
and by serious disturbance of tho usually
peaceful course of Amerlcon events.
The first era, comprising tho terms of
Washington and the cider Adams, extended
from the close of the coloulnl period until
1S01. During that time the constitution
was put In force and Its first eleven amend
ments adopted. It was a time of construc
tion, of government building, and power,
both political and social, continued, ns It
had been In colonial days, In the hands of
a favored class. It was n brief survival of
a scml-arlstocratlc system under the forms
of n republic.
The second era opened wlthth Inaugu
ration of Thomas Jefferson. Irs dawn was
overcast by war-threatening clouds. Tho
country was upon tho verge of a conflict
with Prance, ntid a few years later was ac
tually omlyollcd In tho second war with
Great Drltnln. The leveling spirit of dem
ocracy, of which Jefferson was the Imper
sonation, permeated tho entire structure of
the nntion, nnd tho purchaso of tho terri
tory of Ixnifslanri bo'camo tho first novo
mcnt In tho great sectional struggle the
Irreprrsslblo conflict between freedom nnd
slavery which arrayed tho north against
tho south, nnd which was the leading char
acteristic of this era. Next to this It was
most distinctively marked by tho develop

Surh a plan ns that now proposed by the
Marquctto club of this city, which Invites
patriotic societies and organizations
throughout tho United States to Join It la
tho work of combating anarchy, will not
Inck for public support. In tho storm of
sorrow and Indignation following the death
of President McKinley the predominant
sentiment, next to that of grief for the dead
magistrate, has been a firm determination
that the creed of lawlessness nnd nssasslna
tlon shall bo stamped out. It has been
properly felt that anarchy, which Is
Illogical aud pernicious everywhere, Is
especially reasonless In n free democracy.
Tho organizations which undertako tho
task of eliminating anarchy may count upon
a practically unite! sentiment both among
tho people and In congress. The task of
devising legislation which will be practl
cnlly effective, however, Is one of no small
difficulty. Tho Impulso will bo to use very
vigorous and severe imuhods of repression
and tho leaders In tho movement must ap
proclato at the very bt-glnnlug that tho
need of the hour Is not merely for severity,
hut for practically effective measures. It
should not bo overlooked that thero will

not carefully considered. The result of an
Infringement upou tho cherished principles
of tho constitutional bill of rights would bo

It. The nnarchlsts would seize upon It as
giving color to their maudlin babble about
lack of liberty. If .tho law should Inci
dentally be so framed ns to admit of Its ap
plication to other political doctrlnarlca than
anarchists tho reaction which would follow
would Itself bo a sourco of danger.

remedies aro slow In operation nnd It 4s
right and proper that society meantime
should take steps to protect Itself from
tho avowed teachers of lawlessness nnd the
destruction of govornment. Let tho ob
ject, however, be to secure really oftectlva
preventive measures and not merely to ex

Henry W. Longfellow. t
Thn day Is done, and the darkness
Falls from tho wings of night,
As rt feather Ih wnftod downward
From nn eagle In his flight.
I sco the lights of tho village
Gleam through tho rain and the mist,
A'ul a feeling of sadness comes o'er me
Thnt my soul cannot resist:
i
A feeling of sndncKS nnd longing
Thnt Is not nkln to pnln.
And resembles Borrow only,
As the mist resembles thn rain.
Come, rend to me some poem,
Some slmpln and heartfelt lay.
That shall soothe this restless - feeling,
And banish the. thoughts of day.
Not from tho grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo ,
Through the. corridors of time.
Fur, like strains of mnrtlal music,
Their mighty - thoughts suggest
Llfo's cndleim toll nnd endeavor;
And tonight I long for rest.
Read from some humbler poet,
Whoso songs gushed from hla heart.
As Hhowers from tho clouds of summer.
Or tears from tho eyelids start;
Who, through lone days of labor,
And nights devoid of ense,
Still heard In his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies,
Such songs have power to quiet'
Tho restlefiH pulse of care,
And come like tho benediction
That follows nfter prayer.
Then read from tho treasured volume
Tho poem of thy choice,
And lend to tho rhyme of the poet
Tho beauty of thy voice.
And tho night shall bo filled with music,
a.'H1.'1 ."K ?,nrf" thRt l,,f,at th day, '
Shall fold their tents, like tho Arabs,
And as silently steal a,way.
