LAKE FOREST LADS ARE EXPELLED

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Forty Lake For
est college students refused last night
to sign a pledge submitted by the fac
ulty not to indulge in hazing and by
the declaration of President Richard
D. Harlan they will be expelled from
the college today. Sixty students, af-
ter mass meeting, decided to accept
the manifesto of the professors.
President Harlan, in chapel last Fri
day. delivered an ultimatum to the
students forbidding hazing. In order
that the rule might be observed more
generally he asked the students to
sign a pledge. This they refused
fatty.
President Harlan said he would give
the agreement. If they had not at
tached their names by 10 p. m. they
were to consider themselves expelled.
A mass meeting was called accordingly
and the matter was discussed pro and
con.
The 40 students refusing to sign the
faculty pledge bound themselves into
collegiate union after the mass
meeting and declared they would fight
the professors to a finish. They say
they will cause a strike" and will
bring out the 60 signers to their side
through sympathy, if by no other
means.

Slavery in Queensland.

Slavery is still practised by civil.
lied peoples, points out Charles Ed.
ward Russell in an interesting in
stalment of ''Soldiers of the Com
mon Good" In the September
Everybody's. He writes:
"Very curious observations per-
tain to the Anglo Saxon practice In
nomenclature by which a thing be-
comes something else if called by
another name. Thus there is no
Chinese slavery In South Africa, we
are assured, because the conditions
there are called 'Coolie labor In
Assam the employer holds over his
his employee In the tea fields every
right that q resident of Alabama
held over his negro previous to 8G3,
but we must not call the condi-
tion slavery-it is .identured labor
Queensland sugar planters used to
hire ruffians to 60 in schooners
among the South Sea Islands and
capture the natives and bring them
to the plantations to labor, but the
men engaged in this pleasant traffic
were not slave catchers; they were
recruiters They used to bring
their captures to shores in vessels so
like the old slave ships you could
hardly tell the difference, but the
business they were engaged in was
not slave-trading, it was merely
labor"

1.-THE outlook for large azins In

rora. Is . lower Of strength. The
strong and vigorous editorials In

The letter goes on TO ask for the
address Of Senator Butler, and says
that there Is no man in the State
that can do more good in that County
at this time than he.
In this connection we call atten-
ton to an interesting and most en-
couraging letter from Johnston
County which ispublished In another
column. We have had other infor-
nation from Johnston and Harnett
Counties to the same effect, and we
feel that with good work that the

REPUBLICANS IN JOHNSTON.

The Convention Was a Large and Enthu-
siastic One-Many Democrats Joining
Repub lican Ranks.
One of the largest and most en-
thusiastic conventions in the history
of Johnston County was held by the
Republicans at Smithfield August
18th. The convention was called to
order by J. G. Stancil, County Chair
man, and Mr.. w. G.. Briggs, of Raj
eigh, addressed the convention, show
ing in an able manner the incompe-
tency Of the Democratic party. AL
most the entire crowd were true, and
many recently converted Republi-
cans, there being not more than q
dozen Democrats present. These lay
out or stood on the suburbs of the
large crowd and looked on. The
convention was harmonious through
out and nominated ticket which
will solicit the support of a majority
of the best people Of Johnston
County. Many who are disguised
with the Democratic party are join
ing ranks with the Republicans, and
will 60 TO swell the vote Of the Re-
publican party in November. Be-
sides the pie eaters, or hunters, there
is hardly man to be found to blow
bubbles for the Democratic party in
this County. J. P.

LYNCHINGs AS PAsTIME.

There have been 80 many crimes
of various kinds in this State re-
Gently that even the small boys are
taking it up as pastime.
In Asheville some days ago little
boy was strung up by his playmates
and was almost dead when released
from the moose.
In Greensboro a few days later
several boys drew straws to see
which one should be lynched, but
they couldn't agree as to which one
drew the short straw, so they deci-
ded to lynch negro instead. They
proceeded to lasso a negro, and the
matter might have ended seriously
but for the timely interference of
outsiders.
In Raleigh last week some small
boys threw a rope around a negro
woman's neck and started off with
her, but when the rope began to
draw tight about her neck she
alarmed the neighborhood so that
the whole community turned out to
investigate the trouble and the boys
were forced to abandon their Job.
These Incidents may be amusing
to the casual reader, but they are
serious in the extreme. They show
that the lynching fever and disre-|
spect for law and order permeates
the atmosphere in this State.
Was it ever this bad under Fusion
rule? Let Mr.. Aycock answer.

His Little Joke.

On Western railroad there is q
brakeman who lost the forefiuger OF
his right hand. Tho won ielfuI works
OF natcre along the road, says the
Denver News, keep the brakeman
busy answering the passengers ques-
tions.
One day, after the brakeman had
been pointing out the window and
explaining the scenery, one of u Q
passengers whispered to the con-
ductor, conductor, can you tell me
how that brakeman lost his finger I?
He seems to be a very nice fellow.
1t seems a pity he should be Grip
Pied"
"That's just it, ma'am. He is a
good fellow. He is SO obliging that
he just wore his finger off pointing
out the scenery along The line"

Washington, d. c., August 49,
The Bureau of Labor issued report

chanical industries in the United
States. The report gives the aver

per hour in the principal manufac-
turing and mechanical Industries of
the country were 1 6 per cent. higher
than in 1904; that the average
hours of labor per week remained
the same as in 1904, and that 6.3 per
cent. more persons were employed In
the establishments Investigated. AS
there was no reduction in the aver
age hours Of labor per week, the
average weekly earnings per EN-.
ploye were 1.6 per cent. higher than
1904.
The averages of wages per hour
In 1905 were 1879 per cent. higher
than the average for the ten year
period from 1890 to 1899 inclusive.
The number Of employees was 80 6 |
per cent greater and the average
hours Of labor per week were Al

THE KEY TO PARTY GROWTH
IN YOUR COUNTY.

Does the Republican Chairman of
your County honestly want TO zee
the party grow?
Has he the character and capacity
for leadership?
Will he give his time and efforts
to carrying your County Republican
this fall?
If not, demand his resignation,
and name at once a man who will.
You must do this before the party
will ever grow in your County.
There never has been a time when
Republican principles were more
popular, and there has never been q
time when the party would attract
and draw to it more recruits than
now, if only the right men are put
in the lead Of the party.

Editor Caucasian The political
situation i this County i. l. better
than 10 has been since the time when
the father OF the Pou boys repre-
sentei this County I'm the legislature
as a Republican. The people are
a:oused more than they usually arc
In good times. The rule has been
that In good times the people paid
very little attention 10 political mat
tiers. But ihsre Ia marked interest
to vote and work 10 approve the ad.
ministration OF progress and pros
perity.
In 1900, the Democratic majority
in Johnston County was $500; In
1902, we reduced ii 10 1900; in
1904, we reduced TO 1000, and this
year we expect to wipe Ii out and
carry the County Republican.
There Is not single reason why
Johnston County should vote the
Democratic ticket any more than
there is why the United States
should elect Democratic President.
The people are now doing their own
thinking, and this is about what
they think, and hundreds OF Demo
Gratis are going this way or stay at
home.
We had fine County Convention
and put up good ticket. Mr..
Briggs made q good talk, bu. every
body was disappointed that Marion
Butler could not be with US. He
can get larger crowd and do more
good In this County than any man
in the State. We trust that he can
give us at least one speech before the
campaign is over.
There is general desire that Col.
Geo. E. Butler, of Sampson, should
agree to run for the Senate. If he
will we will guarantee that Johnston
will do her best to elect him. There
are many Democrats who wore red
shirts who would now gladly 60 to
hear him and Senator Butler speak.
The Caucasian Is growing more
popular and increasing in circulation
in this County every day.
Yours, &C.,

A recent issue Of the Raleigh
Evening Times ldemoeraticl under
the above caption, says:
ssThis idiotic paragraph was ineor-
poraied In the platform OF the DEM
ocratie party adopted at the Conven-
ton In G ,eensboro July B:
ave congratulate theie pie OF the
State that under Democratic auspices
there has been established through
out the borders Of the State reign
Of law and liberty, peace and pro-
gress. That our people are no longer
employed I'm guarding their homes
and protecting their lives, liberty
and property, az they were under
Republican rule, but safe in the pro-
lection OF law, and enjoying the
freedom which comes from security
of directing their energies TO peace
full pursuits Of honest industry"
Naturally, 1t WIS put there for
effect, but hIgh-soundIng c.ap-trap is
worthless. The chickens are COM
ing home To rOost-and they rOost
high on limbs where the lynchers
left them.
"The paragraph was not complete.
Some reference might have been
made to the lynching Of white
man in Wadesboro. The question Of
whether he was q Democrat or Re
publican was of small moment. He
was white. White men butchered
him and white courts and white ju-
rors practically excused and con-
doned the crime.
"Under Democratic auspices the
Lyerly family was killed in cold
blood at Barber Junction; under
Democratic auspices the three al
legged murderers were lynched at
Salisbury. Under Democratic aus
pices' the militia was called out
with orders not to shoot-for fear
that some white citizen might be
Injured. A few hot bullets scat
tered through that mob of hocdlums
might have saved the State the ter
rible disgrace of that shocking event;
few bullets might have shown that
under Democratic auspices God
Almighty reigns and the law is su-
preme.'
"This newspaper does not wish to
be misunderstood. 1t stands on the
Democratic platform-now and al
ways-but it takes no stock in this
demagoguery set forth in the plat
form of the party. If our leaders
claim to be responsible for law and
order, 30 must they shoulder the re-
sponsibility of the happenings at
Wadesboro and Salisbury. Surely,
our party is in deplorable condi-
ton If we seek to triumph always
on this talk of a reign Of law and
liberty We can redeem ourselves,
however, by hanging the lynchers."
The above from the Raleigh Times
gives the situation as it is. Ex-l
Governor Aycock in his inaugural
address tried to make the people be-
ieve that Fusion rule was RESPONSE
Die for every crime committed I'M
Ter their administration. It the |
FusiOnists were responsible for the /
few crimes CONF nit
ed under their rule, then let the
Democratic machine accept the re
possibility for the reign of lawless-
less that is now terrorizing the good
'eople of this State.
