The Town Council, at its next
meeting, would indeed make a
wise and timely move if they
would adopt an ordinance pro-
hibiting the loafng on the street
corners by negroes. You can
daily see on some of the street
corners worthless and lazy ne
groes, who absolutely refuse to
work when it is offered them.
They should be made either to
work or leave the town. If thew
do not leave the town, arrest them
and make them work the streets.
We venture the assertion, if such
an ordinance is adopted by the
council, that in a weeks ii me
there will not be an idle negro on
the streets.

SENTENCE WAS INADEQUATE
REAR ADMIRAL EVANS SEVERELY
ARRAIGNS A COURT MARTIAL.
Assistant Paymaster Nicholson Re-
Gently Assaulted the German Con-
He Was Sentenced Only to n Re-
ductiOn of Five Numbers in Grade.

Washington. September 24.-At the
navy department today the fact was
learned that the "aged civilian" whom
Assistant Paymaster Rishworth Mich
olson recently attacked at a public
ball at Che Foo. China, was the Ger
man consul at hat place. Nicholson,
who was said to be drunk at the time,
was convicted by court martial and
sentenced to a reduction of five num-
pers IN grade.
Rear Admiral Evans, commanding
the Asiatic station, in his review Of
the findings, severely arraigned the
court for the Inadequate sentence i'm
posed.
1t appears that the German onsul
did not formally report the matter to
his government. %suppOsing Nicholson
would be properly punished by the
American court.
1t is reported thai the officers who
composed the court will protest to the
navy department against Admiral
Evans arraignment of their conduct.
No such protest has reached depart
ment, but the Associated Press can
state on high authority that the con-
duct of Assistant Paymaster Nichol-
son is a source Of modification to the
nav department officials and that the
action of Admiral Evans, in arraign-
ing the court for what is considered
its adequate sentence is heartily ap-
proved.

JEWISH WORLD CONGRESS.
Formation of Such n Body AdvO-
Gated by u Cincinnati Rabbi.

Cincinnati. O.. September 24.-Rev.
David PhilipsOn. rabbi, of the Mound
Street temple in this city, advocates
the formation of a Jewish world con-
gresS as the only means of settling
the Jewish problem in Russia. Re
ferring to the recent Outrages at
Gomel he said:
"Since Russia reSents all outside in
tervention. the RuSSian-JewiSh prob
lem must be solved by and in Rus
STA itself. 1t seems to me that to meet
the Jewish problem in the various
countries of eastern Europe. the Jews
themselves all over the world must
join in the formation of a Jewish
world congress that shall treat with
such governments as Russia, Rouma-
MIA. Morocco and the like wherever
the Jews are subjected to
treatment. Until the Russian-Jew-
ish problem is settled in Russia itself
and by the Russian government, in
a human and civilized ann l fear
that these outbreaks will be periodical
and the best agencies to accomplish
this solution will be UGH an interna-
tional Jewish organization backed by
the sympathy and the support of the
civilized governments of he world"

DENOUNCES MOB LAW
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT STEW
ENSON Make ADDRESS.
Says the Evil is of Great Menace
to the Public WeIfare-Only Safety
is in an Aroused Public Senf1-
ment.

Bloomington. Ill, September 24-For-
mer Vice President Adlai E.. Steven
son today denounced mob law, in an
address at the dedication of a new
court house for Mclean county. Mr..
Stevenson said:
mo occasion could arise more ap-
propriate h a this in which to utter
solemn words of warning against an
evil Of greater menace to public wei
fare than is to be apprehended from
foreign foes-mob rule. In many To-
calities the spirit Of lawIessness has
asserted itself in it's most hideous
form. Mob rule has at times usurped
legal rule. Outrages nav been per-
pertrated in the, name of summary
justice. 1t need hardly be said that
all his is total disregard Of individual
rights and utterly subversive of all
lawful authority.
By the solemn adjudication of courts
and under the safeguards of law,
guilt Is to be established and the guilty
are to be punished. Mob spirit is I'm
deadly antagonism to all constituted
authority. Unless it is curbed, it will
sap the foundation of organized So
ciety. The killing Of a human creature
is no less murder when it is the act
Of a mob than when it is the act Of an
individual.
There is no safety to society, but
in an public sentiment tina
will hold each participant amenable
to law for the consequences Of crime,
either perpetrated or abetted. Let him
be accounted a public enemy, who
would weaken the bonds of human So
ciety n strike down what it has cost
our race. the sacrifice and toll of cen
turtles to achieve"
