The grand jury of Yazoo county failed to return
an indictment against Editor Frank Birdsall for
participating 10 the election shooting in Yazoo City,
and the friends OF this splendid newspaper man
throughout the state are eOngrat1lating him 1pon
the outcome OF the affair. There was an abnormal
condition existing at the time Of this shooting poll
tics running hotter than since the days Of radical
ism and the surprise now is that more men did not

T9elve hundred coal miners at Thurber, Tex,
have gone on strike in a novel fashion. They
have not laid down their tools, in the usual way,
but on the contrary, have sbOuldered them and,
takug also their wives and families and household
goods, have left the mines and the town. This is
kind Of strike that is perfectly legitimate and can
not be Tebuked, however much it may be deprecat-
ea by the other parties il interest. These men bad
perfect right to stop work. and they have done so.
But they are not trying to prevent ether men from

But it is over now. The voice that thrilled with
the intensity Of stimulated passion is cracked and
wayering. The form that to its full height In
mimlcry OF regal majesty is bent and wasted. The
ewes that flashed while thousands sat euraptured are
now hollow and sunken and fix their melancholy
gaze upon bare walls. What stretch from the
Janushek star Of the drama, to the Janushek whose
life is ebbing awav upon the paupers pallet.
It is pitiiul contrast. The last scene OF all Tor
