Pof1tics of this day and time is
growing more and more of the
Bowery type. Mems characters
are assailed without hesitaney-
men of desperate character are
pushed forward to assail reputa.
tions and bring charges. They
have no reputation at stake them
selves, but are ready with the
gun to resent any slight on their
supposed fair name. They dig
down deep in the mire for some
little faint that will smell of scan.
Dial. Charity and fellow feeling,
and do unto others as you have
them do unto you,is laid aside, and
they go abroad as ravishers of
good names. 1t is time for think
ing people, people who want clean
politics and good men to offer for
Office to set standard that would
be creditable for all to follow. Let
US give thanks that the year 1907
promises a temporary rest from
the chickering's of politics.

FOR AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY
President Roosevelt Extends Order TO
All Public Works.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Especially Pres
ident Roosevelt extended the eight
hour law to apply to all public works
under the supervision of any depart
ment of the government. This Order
AFFECTS more particularly work on
river and harbor improvements.
Charles P. Neill, commissioners OF
labor, who, at the direction of the
President, has had charge, since last
winter, of the enforcement OF the
e1ght-hour law, has sent to the Pres
ldent a report, of which the follow
ing is the concluding paragraph:
81 might add here that I found
that one very noticeable effect has al
ready been produced in this matter
of the eight-hour law Contractors
fully realize now that the law is go
ing to be enforced with earnestness,
and they no longer dismiss 1t as
matter of no consequence. They
probably like the law less than ever,
but their attitude, none the less, is
rapidly changing into one of beeom-
ing respect for the statute"
To carry out Commissioner Neilfs
. L
signed the following executive order:
81. All departments of the govern
ment under the supervision of which
public works are being constructed
are hereby directed to notify the
representatives stationed at such pub
lie works to report at once to their
respective departments all cases in
which contractors or subcontractors
on works now under construction
have required or permitted laborers
or mechanics in their employ to work
over eight hours in any one calendar
day
"2. Ali government representatives
in charge. of construction of public
works are further directed that it is
part of their duty to report to their
respective departments each and
every case in which laborers or me
cbanics are required or permitted TIC
work over eight hours day on the
works under supervision of such gov
eminent representatives Wherever
reports showing work in excess OF
eight hours day are received by any
department they are to be referred
to the Department of Justice for ap-
propriate action.
80. All departments of the govern
ment under the supervision of which
public works are being constructed
by contract are further directed to
have their respective legal officers
prepare and forward to the President
list of such statutes and executive
orders as have a direct bearing ON
contracts for the construction of pub
lie works, and with which bidders on
such works should be made ae-
quainted (Signedl

Atlanta. Ga. Especially Modern
Atlanta has never witnessed such
scenes as have been feature of an
entire day following the exciting in
cidents of Saturday night. A negro
was lvnched on Marietta Street this
Sabbath afternoon.
The negro who was lynched was
suspected of assaulting one of the
white women Saturday, and was be-
ing taken to jail when he was tax
en- from the officers by a dozen men
and shot to death in the street.
Militia have patrolled the streets,
while groups of citizens have stood
uation from their various stand
points. The number of dead at the
last report was 16, but may exceed
90. The injured are several times
that number About dozen women
are seriously hurt.
Dozen Mobs Attack Negroes.
The outbreak was against the ne
gro race, and was marked by all the
savagry which accompanies racial
eruption. Russians massacreing Jews
in Odessa was not more cruel than
the Atlanta mob. Ordinarily the
Southern mob goes alter some par
ticular negro, and after Furnishing
him, washes its hands and becomes
respectable. But Saturday night the
mob was after all negroes because
they were negroes. Thirteen white
women have been attackd by negroes
at Atlanta in the last two months.
Four of these women were assaulted
Saturday evening. Only one of these
assailants had been caught and
lyncbed. The temper of the whites,
already strained, was snapped by the
four assaults Saturday, and the mob
reigned in Atlanta.
Some white man mounted
box on Marietta Street, near the
postoffice, and, holding aloft night
extra announcing "the fourth assault
ON white women" cried out: Are
we Southern white men going to
stand for this?" mo; let's kill all
the negroes, so our women will be
mob was soon on.
Hurled From A Car.
Just then a trolley car appeared in
which were two negroes sitting be-
hind two white women. Look at
that" someone cried. In a twink
ling white men boarded the car and
threw the negroes into the midst OF
the mob, where one was cut to death
and the other fatally beaten.
The mob germ was evidently in
the atmosphere, for in less than 80
minutes after the initial outbreak
on Marietta Street there came re-
ports of mobs attacking negroes in
more than a dozen sections of the
city. The stories were all the same,
the whites would see negro and
cry: There is one of the black
fiends who assaults our women!"
And in few mintes the negro would
be dead or beaten into insensibility.
