Concerning Lynchings.
He calls on the people to help him

will exhaust the power, of his office
to prevent lynchings.
University and Its Branches.
The governor discusses at length
the affairs of the University and its
branches. He wants a board of re
gents for the University and wants
the branch institutions to have their
own trustees not under control of
the University trustees. The gov
ernor urges at length the importance
of the agricultural colleges and the
cause of education generally. He
wants the normal school work im
proved and extended, wants the ru
ral schools improved, and wants a
state board of education composed
of trained educators, and he suggests
the county school commissioners
should, as far as possible, be trained
educators. He closes his address
with a strong appeal for the educa
tion of the- white cl.i’d en of th?
state to meet the responsibilities of
life. “Nearly every white child in
the state,” he says, “carries in his*
veins the blood of a revolutionary he
ro. He has the foundation on which
to build a manhood unsurpassed in
capacity and usefulness. We must
not permit this ge m of greatness to
be smo'hered by lack of opportuni
ty. We must not only willingly, b t
joyfully tax ourselves for this gre t
work. May God help us to meet the
responsibilities which are upon us.’’

viction. Don’t put the badge of
dishonor on him by sending him to
the penitentiary. Don’t let it go out
to the world that a jury of Virginia
gentlemen put the felon’s stripes on
a Virginia gentleman.”
Mr. Lee appealed strongly to the
sympathy of the jury with both
woids and tears.
“Sweep from Virginia the chaste
homes of the citizens and what re
mains of the state? The purity and
the dignity of our homes is the
sweetest thing in life to Virginia.
It is the gift of God. When any
one invades our home, they sirike
society and the body politic the
deadliest blow. You all know how
love for your wife and the smile of
a loving daughter can bring out of
your nature the best there is in it.
“My heart and my mind tell me,
gentlemen of the jury, how you feel.
I believe that when the foreman asks
you to hold up your hands if you
believe the prisoner not guilty,
every hand will go up and that your
act will be according to your con
scientious opinion. When Christ de
parted this life, His last words were,
‘Father, forgive them; they know
not what they do.’ ”
After the verdict of acquittal was
read, Judge Barksdale thanked the
jurors foK their attendance upon the
court at groat sacrifice. He declared
that he believed the verdict was in
accordance with the conscientious
views of the jury. After the juiy

The Public Service Commissions.
Announcement was made at Al
bany, Friday, that on July 1 Gover
nor Hughes would appoint the fol
lowing as members of the Public
Service Commissions:
For the First District (New York,
Kings, Queens and Richmond Coun
ties) :
William R. Wilcox, of New York,
Chairman.
William McCarroll, of Brooklyn.
Edward M. Bassett, of Brooklyn.
Milo R. Maltbie, of New York.
John E. Eustis, of The Bronx.
For the Second District (all other
counties):
Frank R. Stevens, of Jamestown,
Chairman.
Charles Hallam Keep, of Buffalo.
Thomas Mott Osborne, of Auburn.
James E. Sague, of New Hamburg.
Martin S. Decker, of New Paltz.
At The Hague.
The official documents containing
the text of some of the propositions
presented to the Peace Conference
were distributed to the delegations
under the seal of secrecy.
The American proposition, present
ed by Joseph H. Choate June 24,
runs as follows: “The private
property of all citizens of signatory
powers, with the exception of con
traband of war, shall be exempt on
the high seas or e’sewhere from cap
ture or seizure by the armed vessels
or military forces of said p >wers.
Nothing in this rule implies in any
way the inviolability of vessels
which will attempt to enter a port
blockaded by the naval forces of
said powers, nor of the cargo of said
vessels. ’ ’
N. Y. Legislature Ends Session.
With the parting prediction from
Gov. Hughes that “good results to
Jthe people” will result from the
work of the legislature this year, the
session ended. Both houses provided
all the legislation demanded by the
governor with the exception of a
Inew plan of com
pelled by the decision of the Court
of Appeals that the pi esent political
map of the state is unconstitutional.
There is reason to believe the gov
ernor will issue a call for a special
session for the sole purpose of pass
ing a constitutional apportionment.

Albert in Jail.
The Winegrowers’ Committee held
a night court and decided to jail
their leader. Marcellin Albert. The
committee believed Albert’s jour
ney to Paris, and his acceptance of
S2O from Premier Clemenceau to pay
his expenses home from Pans, tend
ed to diminish the importance of the
whole rebellious movement, and they
directed him forthwith to deliver
himself a prisoner at Montpellier,

INDISPUTABLE PROOF.
It is said that all the railway cars
on exhibition at the Jamestown Ex
position are lighted by electricity,
and that most of them are construct
ed of steel. This is quite valuable
endorsement of the position of the
Railway Mail Association in advo
cating steel and electricity. Suc
cessive conventions have adopted
strong resolutions favoring steel car
construction, and the Chicago con
vention took very positive action in
the matter of resolutions concerning
electric lighted postal cars. The res
olution adopted deplored the use of
gas as a menace to human life ai d
the valuable property entrusted to
the care of the Post Office Depart
ment. Inadvertently the word “Pin
tsch” crept into the resolu
tion, when it was the intention of
the framers that no specific kind of
gas should be mentioned. This na
turally aroused some concern in th 1
.minds of the manufacturers of
Pintsch gas, who feared that an at
tack was being made upon their
proprietary rights. As a matter of
fact, not one person in fifty realizes
that there is gas o her than the
Pintsch variety in 'use.
But it was so clearly not the in
tention of the framers of the reso
lution referred to to criticise any es
pecial make of gas, that, when rep
resentatives of the Pintsch people
called at the office of The Railway
Post Otlice with a desire to learn if
our organization intended to single
them out for attack, we unhesitat
ingly declared that, in our belief, it
was only the broad term of all kinds
of gas used for illuminating postal
cars that was in the minds of those
who prepared the resolution.
It will be remembered that the res
olution was the work of thiee mem
bers of the Executive Committee ap
pointed by President Barnes in
March, 1906, for the purpose of fram
ing a suitable statement for the
fifteenth annual convention to con
sider, and the statement so prepared
was adopted by unanimous vote of
the convention, and very naturally
the Pintsch gas company felt that
drastic action had been taken detri
mental to their product.
It is, therefore, no particular make
of gas that we have in mind when we
'declare our firm conviction that elec
tricity is a far safer illuminant for
postal cars. No periodical possesses
a clearer right to advocate the safest
possible environment for railway
postal clerks than does The Railway
Post Office, and it would be recalci
trant in its duty if it should shrink
from calling things by their righi
names.
It is naturally gratifying to learn
that what should be typical of the
highest art of the car builder is in
harmony with repeated statements in
this paper favorable to electricity for
postal cars, and if, as stated in the
press dispatches, the cars on exhibi
tion at Jamestown are all lighted in
this way, it is unanswerable proof
that it is the best way.—Railway
Post Office.

Mr. Bryan is the most conspicuous
figure in American politics today. He
is more —he is a World Figure. His
views on men and things are awaited
with interest in foreign countries as
well as at home. THE COMMONER
is his medium of communication with
the world; but it is more than a per
sonal organ, for it covers the whole
realm of political thought. Hence, no
one, whether a follower or an oppo
