VI stances the remarkable development , v'of the telephone, then exhibited for < r! the first time and ridiculed as being ( ^; at best but an interesting "toy," into ( 1 i the important factor it now is in the ] s I commercial and social life of America i t| might have been delayed for years, . ! if not entirely ariested. .; Alexander Graham Bell had been i exhibiting his instrument for some | J time but it had not attracted serious attention. Through the efforts of r{ Gardiner G. Hubbard, one of tlie e[ most enthusiastic of Bell's small igrou) of supporters, the exposition i judr.os had promised that, while mak i ing their rounds of the exhibits on a J ' j certain Sunday afternoon, they would j rj stop for a few minutes to examine tithe instrument displayed by the (.i young Scotch-American professor of i vocal physiology. In "The History of the Telephone" Herbert Cnsson gives a graphic de! scription of the scene in the exposi , tion building and of the tense moment which followed the nrrival c-f the judges. "When Sunday aftrnoon arrived," he writes, "Bell was at his little table, nervous, yet confident. But hour after hour went by, and the judges did not arrive. The day was ; intensely hot, and they had many wonders to examine. There was the J first electric light, and the first grain: binder, and the musical telegraph of , Klisha Gray, and the marvellous exhibit of printing telegraphs shown by 1 the Western Union Company. By I i the time they came to Bell's table, II through a litter of school desks and F | blackboards, the hour was seven i uiuh'k, ami very xiian in nit* pui ijr ! was hot, tired, and hungry. Several ; announced their intention of returninp: to their hotels. One took up a >' telephone receiver, looked at it , blankly and put it down again. He : did not place it to his ear. Another v i judge made a slighting remark which j raised a laugh at Bell's expense. Then a most marvellous thing hapul pened?such an incident as woulM 'make a chapter in "The Arabian| Nights Entertainments." "Accompanied by his wife, the Emni press Theresa, and by a bevy of courtiers, the Emperor of Brazil, Don ' Pedro dc Alcantara, walked into the room, advanced with both hands outy stretched to the bewildered Bell, ano y ; 'exclaimed: 'lh-ofessor Bell, I am do- ] lighted to see you again.' The judgt s; i at once forgot the fatigue and the e; hunger. Who was this young inven' to, with the pale complexion and . black eyes that he should be a friend rjo;' emperors? They did not know, | ai d for the moment Bell himself ha 1 forgotten, that Dom Pedro had once i visited Bell's class of deaf-mutes at ^ | Bjgton University, He was especially interested in such humanitarian v jrk. and had recentlv helned organ t i7? the first Brazilian school for deaf| mutes at Rio de Janeiro. And s w ith the tail, blond-bearded Dom ) J'edro in tho center, the assembled judgs and scientists?there were j more than fifty in all -entered with cj unusual zest into the proceeding's (f s this first telephone exhibition, i "A wire had been strung from one of th'.- rooms to the other, and while | l>r. P.-M went to the transmitter, Dom Pedro took up the receiver and ' placed it to his ear. It was a moment of tense expectancy. No one *iknew clearly what was about to hap- j I p? n, when the Emperor, with a dramatic gesture, raised his head from J .j the receiver and exclaimed with a | i look of utter amazement: 'My God--j '.it talks'!" ' j , Casson tells vividly how the judges . "I remained until ten o'clock that night! , li-toning by turns at the telephone;! b >\v the crude instrument was trans-1 i ft-rred the next morning to a position, 'of honor in the judges' pavilion, and j how it became the star attraction of j i the centennial. j There were days of discourage- j mcnt, months and years of disap jvointment, before the Bell invention; won full recognition, but the develop-; men! that has brought about a nn-| i tion-wide telephone svstem, linking ! the most remote corners of the country and serving the needs of 13,000,-; j 0:/0 subscribers began with the cu-! i I rious turn of fate which brought the j I obscure Boston professor, the Bra- j . ?ilian emperor and the centennial j | judges together on that sweltering 1 afternoon forty-fivo years ago.

From a standpoint of moral p osophy, lynching cannot be justi ny more than can any other sort rime, including house-breaki horse-stealing and murder. But 1 ral and State laws have not b sufficient, even with their death p alties, to stop house-breaking, hoi stealing and murder. Hence, must concede that lynching will be stopped by law, North or Soi when the cause is the same that heretofore ctused that sort of < I awry to flax*e.
