Reward for Mob Members

In addition to sending soldiers here
to guard against a further violation of
the law, Governor Folk took quick
action to prosecute the leaders of the
mob. Today he authorized a reward of
$500 each for the arrest and conviction
of the members of the mob. This is
the limit allowed by law. In addition
he instructed Rush Lake, assistant at
torney general, to proceed here at once
and aid the grand jury of Greene

Negroes Are Threatened

Negroes who dared to appear on the
streets today were greeted with hoots
and jeers, and on several occasions
crowds of men and boys collected to
attack them. A crowd of 200 gathered
around one negro who recently had
been released from Jail and threatened
him with violence. The fact that no
one would assume the leadership alone
saved the negro.
Both the negroes and whites are
armed and the negroes will not be
driven from the city without struggle.
There was a steady demand today for
firearms and at many hardware stores
it was reported that they had sold
nearly their entire stock of guns of
every description.
Ropes were stretched around the Jail
and a force of twenty-five deputies
was kept busy keeping the curiosity
seekers from forcing their way hey ond
the enclosures.
The damage done to the Jail cannot
be repaired for some time and it could
be entered easily by mob unless op-
posed by a sufficient number of armed
men.

A TRIBUTE TO LABOR
By Prominent Nebraska Presbyterian
Minister In Labor Day Sermon.

Tho following extract from the
Labor Day sermon OF Rev. Il. L.
purdy, of the Clifton Hill tNeb.0
presbyterian church, certainly has
the right ring abputit:
Il am not unfricndly to labor
unions. They are capable of great
things, and have accomplished
great things. The inevitable ten.
dency of the times is combination
and organization. The Bible con.
%slstently and constantly advises
that work is the natural vocation
ofall mankind. The old religious
orders recognized that labor was
the mostimportant factor. OF human
organizations, These religious or.
ders recognized the dignity of la
Dor. Jesus Christ himself was a
laborcr and companion of laboreIs
and His is the example Of all labor.
ing men to follow. The church of
Jesus Christ is the true friend of
labor,
"The heart of the church beats
in sympathy with the laborer, and
may God bless the laboIing man in
this city and elsewhere throughout
the world. The Presbyterian
church is undertaking. to bridge
over or ill up the chasm between
the church and the laboring man
through the medium Of it's homo
missions organizations"

WILLIAM R. HEARST
And His Mission of Mercy Told by the
Rochester Labor Advocate.

''Money, for any purpose of
SANDER, is singularly well equip
ped. Almost every New York
daily is an altar boy of money
tireless to swing the incense cease
less in its chant of praise. At the
cali of money, Mr.. William Ran
dolph Hearst was assailed by half
the metropolitan press. What pa
pers money didn't own, is held
mortgages upon, and that came to
be much the same thing.
When he gave thousands to the
poor, they said it was to advertise
his papers. When they beheld his
bread and coffee wagons, feeding
racked humanity, they declared
that such charity drew legions of
tramps to the town, and ought to
be stopped by law.
Such SNUG ones as the Rockefel-
lers and the Morgans, and the
Havemeyers and tricks, and other
representative tramp-makeIS, rang
ing from Standard Oil to Steel,
vouchsafed this view. They them
selves were the source and the very
seed of tramps Every yeggman
on the highway, every hobo in the
slums, if back tracked to his origin
would be found the legitimate Off
spring Of those who rallied at Mr..
Hearst. They claimed the right
to produce tramps; he, however.
must not feed them.
Yelping at the Hearst heels, the
press-hound pack OF money invent
ed the term .'yeIlow journalism"
No II may define the term. but it
is enough to know that its authors
| have said as much of the Ten Com
mandments. had they been present

statutes publication"

The judicial contest between Joe

in favor of the former. When the

preparations as though he was GO

he may not consider that he is at

These are considerations that

who themselves making large sums

willing to give even a decent reward
to those to whom they owe their
prosperity. That word decent is
straight from the Latin and means

his workmen less than what viii

food and reasonably comfortable
clothing in return for honest work.
1t is not because there is MOI enough

nature has been niggardly in this
country. 1t is all because some
men want too much and want to
