A Europe’s great security convention ended tonight in a victory for peace. At exactly 7:20 the European etatemen who made this victory poe Mole,' threw open a window on the second. Boor of the pffflSce of justice, and rejecting dee*rum, announced to the waiting multitude that the Rhine ppct and other treaties- nad bepn formally approved. - And Then the Fireworks. Instantly the crowd gave vent to enthusiasm. Rockets were sent’ into the air am) the appearance at the window of M. HrWd, the r'rench foreign minister, was greeted with prolonged cheering. Wehn tint British Foreign Secretary, Austen Chamber lin came and waved his hand, the crowd .clamored’for a speech. Chan cellor Luther and- the German For eign Mini, iter, X>r- Strosenmnn were acclaimed .'with no Jess favor. M.

StreaeADtinn- bad spoken first; Summarising the wotk of the corn sere (ice ar.-d emphasising that it* sucoe-s speled a new era in Euro pean relationships, he dechiarcd solemnly that ‘Germany would’ loyal ly, live up to the peace pact-' He made a discreet •allusion to foreign oc cupation of the IthinelAnd. In response, Mr. Briand said that Locarno was not the end, but the beginning; of a new epoch—an epoch of eo-operation and friendship. He gave unstinted '"praise to the imole: ideals and generosity <tf the German* - ! ,-tateinon who had originated .the idea’ of fashioning security pacts for the muiTil enuqce of peace, ai\d de clared that the world would duly render homagf to this happy initia tive. He frankly took up Dr. Strese ini»- i>i ■ mann’s allusion to the occupation, and made it clear that this occupa tion wdidd' fee so reduced'as to give Germany no cause for comiplair.t or uneasiness. ■ ». ' Turning toward Chancellor fath er and Dr. Htreetnap-n, he said: “The people of .France will soon recognise your loyal statement by ail expression of good wiH toward the German people.”. Austen Chamberlain appeared to be at the verge of breaking down under the weight of joy and emotion which checked his words and made them almost unintelligible- He dwelt upon what Locarno meant to world harmony and to the hopes pt all peoples and paid moving tribute to the spirit of accommodation of all the delegates. Pledges Socialists. M. Vandervdde, Belgium's social ist foreign minister, pledged that the •socialists, with heart and soul, ever would back. op the results achieved at Locarno. At the closing session the Rhine' : pact and the collateral arbitration ; treaties with which the paet is inter locked were al initialed, and the fi , nal act or protocol, war signed. The Rhine pact, is signed by France, Germany and Belgium, with Great Britain and Itpfy as guarantors, and by its provisions the signatories un dertake to refrai from attacking or invading the territory of lbe/t>t hers. Great Britain and Italy pledge their resources for use against a signer ' who violates the terms of the pact. Locarno was given over to re joicing tonight.

I Monroe Journal. Some *f the newspapers .of the B Ute and doubtless a great many in dividuals qre criticising the Union county jury for their verdict in the Cole case. . And many more will make the broad and usual criticism of the courts for showing partiality as •by tween the rich and the poor and*the prominent and the obscure. | To all such criticisms it might be ! asked, what are. you going to do obout m It is generally conceded that' ip ifoint of rectitude «l life, in quiet and easy going citizenship, and in all the, usual standards by which we are ac customed to account men reputable, I and even Christian, the men of this i jury compare favorably to any body of men that could have been gathered together by similar means in Xortl# Carolina. They are certainly law abiding and ’tave as much respect for .law as any body of men would have. These men sheard the evidence, un- that they, and they alone, were the judge of the facts, and that t(ie final responsibilty refill'd with them. A»d further than t’.iis there is abundant evidence that thesemen pondered deeply. thati_ responsibility and the nature cf the oath under which they were serving. These men rendered a verdict of ac quittal. Is It reasonable to suppose pjiother jury could have been as sembled Who would not have done the same thing? Then why should tlpey be criti cised? * Is it not possible thaf' most Os those who object t(N their verdict would have done about like they did if called to sit on the jury Jam! hear the whole case? Is it not pos sible that -those who disMree are mak ing up their minds on fragments, rather than on the whole of the case? -We have no idea that a oiie of these men was influence in hia jtidg-i ment by the fact that Mr. Cole is re puted to, be a rich man. Bnt we have no. doubt that i’uey were influenced tremendously by the fact that Ills life aud character up till r this time had been spotless. They were incapable of looking upon a man with a record of this kind in the same light that they would have regarded a man Whose record heretofore had been criminal. And- we believe that any other good citizens drawn on the jury would have done the same, in fact, they could not have eseoped doing it. > And what brings us to the crux of. the matter, which is, that the people of this state do not belijbve in capital punishment except in extreme and outrageous cases backed up by a ca toe#, of. laWlasphess or the prqsump- lawlessness. It is frequently charged that a man like Mr. Cole can bring to bear in fluences that the other type of man cannot'command. This is natural, inescapable, and always- will be. He lias this influence for the very reason that lie has -not been a criminal here tofore. And this influence is not sin ister. It is natural. It arises from the fact that more people are apt to ,wisli to help a man of bis type out of trouble. • _ We lta** nio fight to .'undertake to speak for this jury ami do not suppose they need any defense. But looking at it from the oritside we can make a guess at the processes by which they came to their conclusion/ ( We fancy that they saw a man. not rough and hard, as had been intimated, but a man timid and mild, who had never had a difficulty before in his life. They saw this man go through' months of agony on account of a trouble with which he knew not how to deal, and a trouble effecting the most sacred things of the present and future. They saw him stumbling along with diis load, not knowing where to throw it. They saw him praying in agony for light, and finally coming to a de cision as to his duty and Ihen nerving himself in terror to do it. It may not have been the right decision ami it may have heen one different from what other men would have pit upon. They saw this man shell shocked and finally blind and desperates in his misery. And further than that, they saw behind him a long line of public sentiment in this country which has made killings for things of this kind more or less condoned. , In this, sensp they saw him out of his right mind and him, not as intending to endorse his action or to recommend it to others.. This ac tion is in Ijne With thivTiltincipie that a single act of lawlcssiupM is to be judged in the light of the defehdnnt's reputation, his pasUconduet. and bis disposition to be a good citizen rather than a permanent lawless one.

Death Only Winner in Friendly Game New York, Oct. 14.—Police yester day found three nWn sitting about a card table in a little Fast side room as still as though a spell hadl been east upon them while they played. It hail been a friendly game they had been playing apparently, but the only win ner had been death. One lay with his head pillowed in his arm, his right hand clutching three ac-es and two nines. Another was in the act of reaching for the pot. evidently having believed himself , the winner because of a straight he was holding. The third man. who had discarded his hand, was leaning hack with his chili on his chest as though in thought. Police went to the room in response to a report of the landlady that gas was escaping. Apparently tile men had been unaware of the leaking gas, , so interested were they in the game. Only one of them, Patrick O'Connor, was identified. As the poet has said, the saddest < words, etc., are "it might hai’e been.” ' If only the Pittsburgh and-.
