The push and energy of our busi-

good and substantial trade for this
town.

With a good lively grain market
right on our streets New Augusta
has been more than lirely this week.
The old town is welcome to its ele-
vators as long as we can get the
grain.
It took just eight hours and twenty*
six minutes to try and convict the
assassin of President McKinley and
h ' was convicted just ten days after
the death of the President. We call
this prompt justice.
Anarchy is a defiance of law and
organized government. Mob law is
anarchy put in practice. As long as
mobs are allowed to defy the law we
may expect anarchy to flourish. Down
with anarchy! Down with mob law!
Let us be a law-abiding, law-respect-
ing people.
The Boers are still up t<> their old
tricks of bagging British troops in
South Africa. In spite of the fact
that Lord «Bobs declared the Boers
whipped and the war over. Lord
Kitchener continues to report that
such and such command has been
captured by a ^superior force.* It
must be very provoking.
Ijeon F. Czolgosz, the anarchist
murderer of President McKinley, was
placed on'trial at Brooklyn Monday
with Judge Truman C. White on the
bench. Czolgosz will be defended by
eminent counsel, who have been ap-
pointed by the court to defend him,
and will be given a fair and impartial
trial. The government he and his
* kind would destroy will accord him
as fair a trial as would be granted to
the highest citizen accused of crime.

country and it hasn't all come from
ignorant people, either. There have
been talks made by ministers of the
gospel to the effect that the man
who proclaims himself an anarchist
ought to. be ah6t on sight, etc.
The man who advocates any kind
of mob law in this country does the
country harm. The anarchist ought
to be suppressed, but it ought to be
done in a quiet and orderly manner
Even the wretch who shot President
McKinley is entitled to a full and fair
trial. He ought to l>e convicted and
hanged, but the hanging ought to be
done by law. Not that he deserves
any mercy, but on account of the
effect nn the general public. The
success of our form of government
depends largely on the manner
which its laws are enforced. The
law is the only sovereign, and if the
the law fails to protect the innocent
and punish the guilty, then the system
is manifestly lame. Theoretically, the
law punishes every crime and just in
proportion as the people disregard
the foim of law and undertake to
deal out summary punishment without
regard to legal procedure, in just
that proportion their respect
and confidence in their govern-
ment is weakened. So far
Czolgosz is personally concerned
makes little difference whether he is
executed in the electric chair or
hanged by a mob or torn to pieces by
an indignant populace, but so far as
the general public is concerned it
makes a good deal of difference.
Probably one manner of killing tht
anarchist would not hurt him much
more than another, but iX^he is tried
regularly and executed by order of
the court it will tend to increase the
confidence of the people in the ma-
jesty and efficiency of the government.
Remember always the government in
this country is law, to which the
President in the white house is sub-
ject as well as the most humble citi-
zen. Disregard for law is disregard
for government and to that extent is
following the teachings of anarchy.
We don't like to see the people of
this country go off their feet, so to
speak, and talk about justifiable mob
law and summary punishment without
trial. If mob law is ever justifiable
it is only when it has heen demon-
strated that the regularly constituted
authorities utterly fail and refuse to
execute the laws ami even then the
mob law is an exceedingly dioubtful
experiment.4—Mail and Breeze.
