Good By, Satanl

The New York World, which as
a good orthodox newspaper would
hardly be expected TO make so rad
ical a statement without full in
formation, announces that the devil
has been ostracized from the So
ciety of the billboard by edict of
the National Association of Bill
Posters, His majesty is said to be
offensive To many people who.
despite his high standing as a re-
ligious institution and the wide ac-
ceptance he has met In art circles,
are of the opinion that his influence
is bad. "Such pictures on biIboards
suggest evil" urged Charles Ber-
nard, of Chicago, leader in the cru
sade to cast out the devil. "and
psychologists have agreed that all
evil comes from suggestion"
Not inapPropriately, Mr.. Bernard
found his most vigorous opponent
in a man from Pittsburg. who stood
out for the devil to the bitter end.
He said it had become a fad to jump
on the devil. Folks who had been
immensely prosperous because of
their affiliation with him were now,
in their hour of success, forgetting
their mentor and turning to smite
the hand-or perhaps rather the
hoof-that had fed them.
Mr.. Bernard made his fight espe-
cially against a poster showing the
devil advertising a particular brand
of whisky. 1t seems to US that he
was sadly in the wrong. Any
whisky maker who is so honest as
to advertise the long-standing COM
munity of interest between the devil
and whisky ought to be given the
chance. Whisky has been working
for the devil a long while, and it
seems fitting that the service should
be repaid in kind.

Unavoidable POStpOnement.

On account of circumstances over
which even the packers have not
been able TO maintain full control,
the predicted ruin of the livestock
industry will not come off just yet.
1t is unnecessary TO recall, because
the facts are fresh IN mind, that
a few brief and feeting weeks ago
the lawyers and lobbyists and Iegis-
lative agents were denouncing the
undertaking of their industry as
certain to destroy not merely the
packers but-and il was for this
that the tears were shed-the stock
growing business of the great West.
Certain stock-market facts have
since necessitated a postponement
Of the ruin engagement.

George Erwin. Jack Dillingham;, and
Hen Lee, are under arrest on suspicion
OF being implicated in the murder last
night Of Isaac Lyerly. his wife and

Posses are still searching the country
with the aid Of bloOdhounds in order to
prevent the guilty party from esoap-

in the State and the people are thor

down the culprits Lyerly and ths
members of his family were killed while
they slept, a club being used as a
weapon. and the heads Of all five vic
tins were pounded to a pulp. An ef-
fort was made afterward to burn the
house in which the bodies lay. The
fire awakened two older daughters who
slept upstairs. and when they discov-
cred the condition of their parents and
the other children they quickly gave an
alarm. Hundreds Of citizens are now
engaged in the search for the criminals.
A eoroneF's jury tonight returned a
verdict holding the men arrested as the
murderers OF the Lyerly family. Late
tonight John Graham, or Gillespie. made
full confession, duplicating all the
negroes under arrest. His father is
named as the chief cOnspirator. He said
the deed was committed with two axes,
