Anti-Semitic riots are apparently not
over in Russia. In the town of Gomel
some weeks ago Jews were dubbed and
their houses wrecked. Troops joined
with rioters In the raid. Jewish sur
vivors fed into the country. The riots
were not of the magnitude of those
which took place at Kishenef but were
not less remarkable. There were 1000
troops in the town at the time but they
did not adequately protect the Jews.
They probably had orders not to. 400
houses and shops were wrecked or in
jured and their contents destroyed. 1000
families left the place. Seven Jews were
killed and many injured. The enemity
in Russia against these people seems to
be deep and satanic and ruling classes
are involved In it.

1t takes very small pretexts upon
President Roosevelt. He has lot of
enemies who are on the alert, striving
hard to find something against him with
the purpose to injure him politically.
The latest we have heard is to the effect
that he said the public schools taught a
lot OF rubbish. A pretty good fact In
retutatlon of this is that his youngest
son, Quintin, has been enrolled in pub
lie school in Washington and that an
older son, Archie, attended the same
school, last year. Thus far, such canards
about the President have had an effect
contrary to the designs of their authors.

For A City Charter.

At a meeting of the Business
Men S Association Saturday
evening it was unanimously de-
cided to begin the preliminaries
for Incorporating the town of
Miller as city, under the re-
cent law for towns of over 500
population.
1t was generally believed by
those present that this Is. almost
the UNANIMOUS desire of the citi-
zens. Miller is a growing town
and feels hampered under the
present village corporation.
1t is time to push ahead and a
new charter is now the proper
thing. In this connection the
Press wishes to say to the citi-
zens that their executive com
mlttee, IN who's hands such
things were placed, deem this
one OF the first steps necessary
for protection of the city's in
terests and the advancement OF
enterprises by which every prop
erty holder and resident will
be benefited. And when Miller's
interests are at stake it is a no
torious fact that every man and
woman and child in the town is
ready to put their sholtlers to the
wheel and push it along. 'Nough
said.

States Attorney Cole received
Word from the states Attorney
of Faux County last week that
our once notorious Tim Parks
was under arrest again, charged
with stealing wheat from the
farm OF j. l.. Jones in Gilbert
twp. this County. Sheriff Abbott
went after Tim and he is now
lodged in the county bastile.
AS the reporter gathered it,
one morning last week, Mr..
Jones went to his granary, and
discovered that a wagon had
been there, and some of his wheat
taken. He hitched up to his
buggy and followed the track
across country to Tom Croll's.
He and Mr.. CToll then followed
the wagon on north; and near
Rockham, Faux County, they
passed Tim Parks, hauling a
load of wheat. They said moth
ing, but drove on to Rockhaln,
as he was evidently headed for
there. When he got to town he
was arrested. Timothy has a
checxered career. He has been
in the penitentiarv more than
once for his Irresistible desire to
get something for nothing.
Hand County has not been both
cred with wheat stealing for sew,
eral years-while Tim was away,
but as soon as he gets back, the
old game begins again.

mo, you don't see my children loaf1ng
around the streets at night, said the
janitor Of city apartment house. 1T
costs me something to keep them away
from the gangs, but it's worth the
money.
They're all respectable people here on
the street, you know, and some are pref
ty Welt o-do. Doesn't seem to be any
need of their boys going wrong, does
there? Well, the trouble started with
letting the boys run wild in the even
ings. The janitor Of the next house didn't
attend to his business. The boys learned
he wasn't around at night, 50 they used
to take their boxing gloves into his base
ment and light the gas and have great
times-regular prize fights.
Now, that was only a boys caper, and
needn't have led to any serious harm If
the young fellows had been taken hold Of
right. When the policeman found EN-
and drove EN-, possibly one or two Of
the boys did get whaling; but they went
right back to, their hang-out at the cor
ner, and kept on schening how to have
fun.

train one day and have a ride. He got
out in the country and begged his living
for day or two, and then he hoped on
another train and came back. He had a
regular picnic, he thought. All the other
boys were wild to try it.
well. one Of EN- did. He got thrown
off the first time, so he had to do 1t all
over again. The second time he got under
the wheels, and that was the end Of him.
Mind you, all these fellows had been
picking up lots Of accomplishm ents while
they hung around the corner In the
course of a, year they knew how to smoke.
they were good hard swearers, they could
lie pretty well, and because they could do
mischief all around the neighborhood and
dodge the policeman, they thought they
were about as smart as the next one.
ct happened one day that the leader of
the gang was suffering for cigarettes, so
what does he do but steal a pair of
trousers and pawn EN-. He stole from
the wrong man, as it turned out, and his
folks couldn't settle the case. The off
