WORD ON LYNCHING President Roosevelt Seizes Indiana Incident As Text For Remarks. In a Letter to Governor Durbin the Chief Executive Expresses His Views On Mob Law. Urges That the Execution of Laws Be Stripped of Dilatory Technicalities. Oyster Bay., N. Y., Aug. 10. —In a letter, the publication of which was authorized to-day, President Roosevelt commends Governor Durbin of Indiana, for the attitude he assumed recently respecting lynching. The president also embraces the opportunity to express his own views in reference to lynching and mob violence, generally. pointing out that mob violence is merely one form of anarchy and that anarchy is the forerunner of tyranny. The president vigorously urges that the penalty for crimes that induce a resort to lynching shall be applied swiftly and surely, but by due process of the courts, so that it may be demonstrated "that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay.” President Roosevelt’s letter in full to Governor Durbin follows: Oyster Bay. N. Y., Aug. 6, 1903. My Dear Governor Durbin: Permit me to thank you as an American citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the maj’sty of the law by your recent action in reference to lynching. I feel, my dear sir, that you have made al! men your debtors who believe, as all far-seeing men must, that the well being, indeed, the very existence, of the republic depends upon that spirit of orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as wi'h any form cf despotism. Cf ccuise, mob violence is simply one form of anarchy. and anarchy is now, as it always has been, the handmaiden and forerunner of tyranny. I feel that you have not only reflected honor upon the State which for its good fortune has you as its chief executive, but upon the whole nation. It Is incumbent upon every man throughout this country not only to hold up your hands in the course you have been following, but to show his realization that the matter is one of vital concern to us all. All thoughtful men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynching in this country, and especially over the peculiarly hideous forms so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims, on which occasion the mob seems to lay most weight, not on the crime, but on the color of the criminal In a certain proportion of these cases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime so rible beyond description; a crime so horrible that as far as he himself is concerned he has forfeited the right to any kind of sympathy whatsoever. The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a very lively sense of the train of dreadful consequences which follow the course taken by the mob in exacting Inhuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong In such cases, moreover. It Is well to remember that the criminal not merely sins against humanity In inexpiable and unpardonable fashion, but sins particularly against his own race, and does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do them. Therefore, in such cases the colored people throughout the land should in every possible way show their belief that they, more than all others in the community are horrified at the commission of such a crime and are pe cullarly concerned in taking every possible measure to prevent Its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate Justice The slightest lack of vigor either In denunciation of the crime or in bringing the criminal to Justice is itaell unpardonable. Moreover, every effort should bj made under the law to expedite the proceedings at Justice in the case of such an awful crime. But it cannot be necessary In order to accomplish this to deprive any citizen of those fundamental rights to be heard in his own defense which are so dear to us all and whloh He at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the laws to secure swift vengeance upon the criminal; and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges and citizens should be addressed to securing such reforms. In our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided men who undertake to reap vengeance through violent methods. Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should ba visited with swift and certain punishment and the Just effort made by the courts to protect them In their rights should under no circumstances be perverted l»to permitting any mere tech nicallty to avert or delay their pun ishment. The substantial rights of the prisoner to a fair trial must, of course, be guaranteed, as you have so Justly Insisted that they should be; but sub-

ject to this guarantee, the law must work swiftly and surely and all the agents of the law should realize the wrong they do when they permit Justice to be delayed or thwarted for technical or insufficient reasons. We must show that the law is adequate to deal with crime by treeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay. This matter of lynching would be a terrible thing even if it stopped with the lynching of men guilty of the inhuman and hideous crime of rape; but as a matter of fact, lawlessness of this type never does stop and never can stop in such fashion. Every violent man In the community is encouraged by every case of lynching in which the lynchers go unpunished, to take the law into his own hands whenever it suits his own convenience. The spirit of lawlessness grows with what it feeds on. and when mobs with impunity lynch criminals for one cause, they are certain to begin to lynch real, or alleged, criminals for other causes. In the recent cases of lynching over three-fourths were not for rape at all. but for murder, attempted murder and even less heinous offenses. Surely, no patriot can fail to see the , fearful brutalization and debasement which the indulgence of such a spirit and such practices Inevitably portend. Surely, all public men, all writers for 1 the dally press, all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any way have a right to address the public, should with every energy unite to denounce 1 such crimes and to support those engaged in putting them down. As a 1 people we claim the right to speak with peculiar emphasis for freedom 1 and for fair treatment of all men with--1 out regard to differences of race, fortune, creed or color. We forfeit the right to speak, when we commit or 1 condone such crimes as these of which I speak. The nation, like the individual, can not commit a crime with impunity. It 1 we are guilty of lawlessness and bru--1 tai violence, whether our guilt con- ‘ sists in active participation therein or ’ in mere connivance anti encouragement, we shall assuredly suffer later 1 on because of what we have done. 1 The corner-stone of this republic, as of ' all free governments, is respect for. and obedience to. the law. Therefore, when we permit the law to be defied or evaded, whether by rich man or poor man. by black man or white man, ' we aie by just so much weakening the bonds of our civiliza icn and increas--1 ing the chances of its ove:throw, and ■ of the substitution there for a system In which there shall be violent alternations of anarchy and tyranny. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. WHOLESALE MASSACRES. > i Bulgaria’s Reform Movement Accom--1 panied By Much Bloodshed. ' Constantinople.

THE TRIPLE CROWN With Much Pomp and Ceremony It Is Placed On Pius X’s Head. Seventy Thousand Persons Gather Within Great SL Peter's to Witness Papal Coronation. A Scene of Glittering Splendor Marks Church’s Most Magnificent Rite. Rome. Aug. 10.—The ceremony of the coronation of Pope Pius X took place Sunday in the basilica of St. Peter’s in the presence of the princes and high dignitaries of the church, diplomats and Roman nobles, anil with all solemnity of splendor associated with this, the most magnificent rite in the Roman Catholic church. As Cardinal Macchi. the dean of the cardinal-deacons, placed the triple crown on the head of the venerable pontiff, the throng of seventy thousand persons gathered within the cathedral burst into unrestrained acclamations, the choir intoned a hymn of triumph and the bells of Rome rang out a joyful peal. It is fifty-seven years since the Romans and Europe assisted at such a function at St. Peter’s. The great basilica, popularly supposed never to have been quite full, was overflowing with humanity. The papal throne, a liewildering mixture of gold, red and s'lver, was erected in front of the high altar. All tbe available standing space within the cathedral was divided into sections by wooden barriers which to a certain extent kept the vast crowd tn order. When the doors were opened the inrush was teriffle. many who started from the bottom of the steps outside were lifted off their feet and carried into the cathedral. It was a great human torrent let loose, thousands of people rushing, crushing and squeezing amid screams, protests, gesticulation and cries for help But once in the whirlpool there was no escape and the compactness of the crowd proved to be the safety of those caught in it. Women fainted in com- 1 paratively large numbers and even men were overcome by the heat, b'.’t no terlous accidents were reported. Fortunately there were very few chil- ' dren present. After their entrance I the people had further long hours of waiting, and it is computed that the majority were on their feet altogether ten hours, five before the ceremony , and another five hours while it lasted I On the appearance of the pontiff ' himself It seems as though the peo- ' pie would seek to carry him in their j arms, so great was their enthusiasm. I The scene presented on his mounting the throne formed a magnificent pic- , j ture to which no pen could do justice. | The centra! figure was the venerable pontiff seated on the throne. Two , lines of cardinals clad in silver and scarlet reached to the high altar with Its burden of burning candles and sacred vessels, while around stood the papal guards, the pontifical court, monks and officials. The cathedral was illuminated with twinkling lights while the marble columns and walls rendered the color scheme more vivid. Overhead was the most magnificent dome in the world, up to which floated the harmony of music. , From the throne Plus X-, surround ed by his suite, walked to the high altar standing over the crypt of SL Peter, into which meanwhile Cardinal Macchi descended to pray. The appearance of the pope in that elevated position called forth another burst of enthusiasm. The pope then blessed the altar, and after saying the “Indulgentiam,” the maniple, a symbol of the cord with which Christ was bound on his capture, was placed, with great ceremony, upon the pope’s arm. At the same time prayers for the coronation were recited by Cardinals VannutelliJ Mocennl, Agliardi and SatolH. Return j Ing from the crypt Cardinal Macchi, placed upon the shoulders of the pope the pontifical pallum. "Receive this sacred pallium as a symbol of the ful- i I ness of the pontificate office in honor ' i of Almighty God. the mos*t glorious l Virgin Mary, His Mother, the blessed apostles, St. Peter and St. P|ul, and the Holy Roman Catholic church." Mass was then celebrated with great pomp and ceremony, the voice of the pope becoming gradually more i firm and sonorous until it was even audible in the most distant comer of , the immense church. On the pope’s return to the throne the cardinals offered their last obedience to tho pontiff, kissing his hands and feet, and receiving embrace by him twice in turn. The bishops and archbishops kissed his foot and right knee, while the abbots kissed only his foot. The holy father than walked to the shrine of St. Peter for the culmln atlng rites of the extremely fatiguing ceremony. The whole sacred college gathered about the pope, singing pales, trlnas while the choir burst forth Into song Cardinal Macchi then recited the "pater noster" and offered the fol lowing prayer: "Omnipotent and ever eternal God dignitary of the clergy and author of sovereignity, grant Thy servant, Plus X. grace fruitfully to govern Thj church so that he. who by Thy clemency becomes and In crowned as

father cf klnga and rector of t)> faithful, through Thy wise dlsp. latt |®’ may govern well.” ’’Amen!" rang out from all corner, of the cathedral, from the choir th people, the clergy and the patrician’ Cardinal Deacon Segna then raised the pontiff’s mitre, and Senior Cardinal Deacon Macchi placed on the white head the triple crown. At this mo ment the church was filled with the ringing of bells, the blowing of silver tiumpets, the triumphant strains of the choir and acclamations of the multitude which could not b B re pressed. When comparative silence had been restored Cardinal Macchi addressed the pope in Latin, as follows "Receive the tiara ornamented with three crowns. Remember thou ar , the father of princes and kings, the rector of the world, the vicar on earth of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who is the honor and glory of all centuries " ’Amen!” again burst forth from the concourse. Pope Pius was almost overcome and had scarcely strength left to impart the apostolic benediction. Cardinals Macchi and Segna granted a plenary indulgence to all present, and the procession then u formed and left the basilica in the same form as it came. The-pope was visibly fatigued and his right hand shook as he raised it time after time to bestow his blessing When the ceremony was over all the exits to the basilica were opened and within less than an hour the vast cathedral was empty. "What right lias site to star?" asked the envious Thespian. “The best right in the theatrical world,” was the reply. “Slip has secured an ‘angel.’ ’’—Chicago Post.
