LYNCHFRs INDICTED.

II IS evident that acting Gov. cum
nlngham of Alabama is going to see
whether or not the mob or the courts
are on top in that state. The civil
courts have been finding and indicting
members of the mob that lynched the
negro Horace Naples at Huntsville re-
Gently, and twenty-six indictments
have been found. It was thought a
grand jury couldn't be secured that
would indict members of the mob that
did the lynching, but it seems that opin-
ion was not founded on a correct I'M
derstanding Of public sentiment in re-
gard to the matter.
1t IS probably being said that a jury
ca'.aot be obtained that Will convict
the ,yIchers. 1t is pretty safe to say
that il a grand jury was found to pre-
sent indictments a petit jury will be
found that will convict, if evidence is
presented sufficient to justify
conviction, It wouldn't be at all sur
prising if there were a number of con-
victions in the Naples case, and, if
there should be, it is pretty certain that
they will have the approval of the best
citizens of Alabama. The thinking peo-
pie realize the danger there is in mob
law and they don't want any more of
it. If the setting aside of the author
ity of the courts in cases in which
negroes charged with heinous offenses
is tolerated it will soon be the prac-
tice to disregard the law where any
citizen, white or black. incurs the en-
nifty of a lawless element in a COM
munity.
And acting Gov. Cunningham is
also determined that if the military
failed to do it's duty in the Naples case
it shall suffer the consequences. A
military court is now inquiring into its
conduct, and facts are being gathered
for future action. The officers of the
military who were charged with the
duty of guarding the prisoner will be
fortunate if they succeed in showing
that they cannot be held responsible for
the lynching. The dispatches thus far
seem to show that the soldiers acted
under the authority of the sheriff, and
that they obeyed orders.
A special grand jury has recommend
ed the impeachment of the sheriff of
the county and the Mayor and chief of
police of Huntsville on the ground that
they failed to do their duty and for
other reasons. Doubtless the recon-
mendation will be acted upon, and Ala
bama will he treated to the interesting
spectacle of county and city officials
being impeached, military officers be
ing court-martialed and citizens being
tried for taking part in a lynching. If
supposed to be the result is likely to
be such that it will be a long time after
the ending of the trials before citizens
will be again DESTROYS of taking part
in a lynching and before military or
civil officers will give encouragement
10 mob rule.
1t is noticeable that in this state the
Governor is showing commendable ac-
tivity in the effort to bring to Justice
lynchers. He has offered a reward of
$3.50 each for the arrest and conviction
of the parties engaged in the lynching
of John Ware in Franklin county on
last Sunday. 1t is evident that in the
Southern states the governors are be-
coming aroused by the lynchings and
are making up their minds that stop
must be put to them.

Georgia chickens. raised at Valdosta,
carried off the highest premiums at
Syracuse, y. Y, last week, in a con-
test which was participated in by some
of the best breeders and fanciers in the
country. That shows what can be
done in poultry raising in Georgia.
With intelligent care. there is no rea-
son why the poultry business should
not be very profitable in South Geor-
gia. And Chatham county is as well
suited to chickens as any other part of
the section.

A Sioux City firm has set up an odd
standard for its girl stenographers.
They must be red-headed. must wear
short skirts and must not use perfum-
cry. II is asserted by a representa-
tive Of the firm that red-headed girls
are more careful and better workers
than any other kind. that the short
shrted girl moves quicker and Is more
easily pleased than the girl In the long
skirt. and that the use Of perfumery
is a pretty sure indication that a girl
is stuck on herself and win spend
TOO much time before the looking
glass.

FIGURES THAT DECEIVE VOTERS


The Democratic campaign text book
deals vigorously with that part of the
Republican campaign text book which
treats of the price of labor and the
| cost of living. The Republicans have
put out a lot Of figures to show that
while the cost of living has increased
in the last ten years the advance in
wages has been even greater. so that
the times under Republican rule for
the workingman are better than they
were ten years ago. The figures on
which this statement is based were
furnished by Carroll D. Wright, Unit
ed States Commissioner of Labor.
According to Mr.. Wright the in
crease in the cost of living during the
last ten years has been 1875 per cent.
and the increase in wages has been
1916, an increase in favor of wages of
paign text book intimates pretty
strongly that Mr.. Wrights figures
were intended to show just what the
Republican party wanted shown, and
states quite plainly that they are not
in accordance with the facts. And then
the Democratic campaign text book
proceeds to show what the facts are
It mercilessly dissects Mr.. Wright's
figures and points out the method
adopted by him to get results such as
the Republican party wanted without
regard to facts. For instance, to bring
down the average cost of living Mr..
Wright cites that nutmegs have fallen
in price over As per cent. The amount
of nutmegs workingmen use cannot be
very large, but they play a very i'm
portant part in the calculation by
which Mr.. Wright figures out that the
increase in wages has been greater
than the increase in the cost of living.
As a matter of fact the increase in the
cost of living, owing largely to the
protective system, has been much
greater than the increase in wages.
That there has been no great increase
in the wages of the great majority of
toilers is evident from the fact that
there are many strikes and lockouts
III various pdTlS u the country. Even
now there. are thousands of mill oper-
atives in the New England States on
the verge of starvation because they
refuse to accept the wages the mills
are offering them. And it really looks
as if the mills couldn't afford to pay
more.
1t is regrettable that public officials
cannot keep close to the facts when
giving out information intended for
the instruction of the people. Doubt
less Mr.. Wright felt that, as a member
of the administration, he was practi-
cally bound to make a showing that
would help Mr.. Roosevelt in his cam
paign. He must have known, however,
that his statement wouldn't stand the
test of an investigation-that his
method of getting the result the Re
publican leaders desired would be
found out and explained.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND THE TARIFF

hhs AOOSHsN Ell AND AhIFFs
A good many voters appear to be
studying Mr.. Roosevelt's record on the
tariff. The more they study it the
more they are in doubt as to whether
or not he was sincere in what he said
in respect to the tariff in his letter of
acceptance. 1t is recalled that when
he wrote his life of Thomas H. Ben
ton he seemed to think high protection
was robbery, or something akin to it,
while now, as the candidate of the pro-
tectionists for President. he seems to
think it is the thing that has made the
country what it is, and that a modi-
fication of it would result in disaster.
In his life of Benton he said:
Political economists have pretty
generally agreed that protection is vi
cious in theory and harmful in prac-
tice; but if the majority of the people
in interest wish it, and it affects only
themselves, there is no earthly reason
why they should not be allowed to
try the experiment to their hearts con-
tent. But the trouble is that it rarely
Goes affect only themselves: and in
1928 the evil was peculiarly aggravated
Oli Fi1NbuAll VI IllG UNEQUAL way IN
which the proposed measure would
affect different sections. 1t purported
to benefit the rest of the country, but
1t undoubtedly worked real injury to
the planter states, and there is small
ground for wonder that the irritation
over it in the region so affected should
have been intense.
In his letter of acceptance he says
that protectionism has become part
of the very fibre of the country" and
he endeavors to make it appear that
1t would be, sad day for the coun-
try if the Democrats were to get con-
troll of the government and reduce the
tariff schedules.
In Benton's time the tariff was for
revenue with incidental protection. In
other words. it was first for revenue
and second for protection; now it is
for protection first and revenue second.
1t was an infant in Benton's time. Now
it is a giant. When Benton was show
ing up its evils it sheltered no trust.
Now ii shelters trusts, a single one
of which has net income greater than
was the income OF the government in
Benton's time.
An interesting question is this: Does
the President now regard the protec-
tive system as vicious, as he did when
he wrote the life of Benton? If not.
when did his views on the tariff un-
| dergo a change? If changed, what ar
guments changed them? If they have
undergone no change what sincerity
is there in that part of his letter which
deals with the tariff? II one part Of
his letter is insincere is that not a
good reason for thinking all parts of it
are insincere?

are now going over the books of the

will show that municipal ownership
has been worse than a failure. There
