'fORNADOnITKANSAS
ALSO SWEPT SOUTHERN PART
OF NEBRASKA.
Twenty-one Persons Dead-BuIdings
Swept Away Before Storms as Straw
Casualties by Score--Farmers in
Panic-Rivers on Rampage in Kan
sas and Oklahoma-Loss Enormous.

The recent tornado which passed
over southern Nebraska and portions
of northern Kansas was the most de-
structive and covered the most terri
tory of any similar storm that has Wis
tied the state in many years. At least
81 persons are known to be dead, five
fatally injured and a score of others
more or less seriously hurt, some of
them dangerously. Additional reports
received state that several persons
were killed at the towns of Byron,
Neb., and CORTLAND, Kan, which
towns have been cut off from COM
munication with the outside world.
At Fairfield more than 40 buildings
were more or less wrecked and some
of them, including three churches,
were demolished. The loss there will
exceed 100000.
In the vicinity of Pickley farm
houses stood the brunt of the storm
and one or more fatalities are report
ed, with number receiving injuries,
some of which will prove fatal.
Serious damage is reported from
Byron, 10 miles west of Chester, at
tended by considerable fatality, but no
details could be learned. All the
bridges were out and communication
by telegraph and telephone is entirely
cut off
A message from Hardy, Neb., says
the town of CORTLAND, Kan, just
across the Nebraska line, was struck
by the storm and that several casual
ties occurred.
Trains in all directions are aban
doned because of washouts and de
stroyed roadbeds. At Geneva the
storm wrought destruction. The storm
has covered such wide area and beer
so destructive wherever it touched
the earth that it has almost caused
panic among the rural inhabitants
Many farmers drove into town las
noght and today seeking shelter, many
of them being homeless.
The tornado struck Phillipsburg
Kan, destroying the greater part o
the town and killing several people
The town of CORTLAND, Is miles cas-
of Phillipsburg, was struck and sew
eral casualties are reported. 1t is in
definite whether both towns were sui
ferers or whether the two reports
cover the same tornado. Details will
hardly get through tonight unless b.

Seattle, June 9.-The first discrim-

THE BRYAN-CRISP INCIDENT

The recent statement of Judge
Charles Crisp as to the relations be-
tween his father and Bryan have at
tracted much attention throughout the
state. Watson has been endeavoring
to make campaign material in his
own interest out of the alleged refus-
al of Bryan to support Judge Crisp
for speaker because he had been a
Confederate soldier. That Bryan did
not vote for Crisp for Speaker in
the Democratic caucus that selected
him is beyond question Like any
other good Democrat he bowed to
the will of the majority and voted
for the Judge when he had been made
the party nominee. The fact that
their subsequent relations were pleas
ant would indicate that there was
nothing serious in the opposition of
the Nebraska congressman, nothing
more than the exercise of a personal
right to support another candidate, a
right which Judge Crisp would have
been the last man on earth to cues
ton or cherish against the one who
had seen fit to exercise it. 1t is
hardly likely that Mr. Watson can
make any effective use of the Incl
dent.
Referring to the recent interview in
the Times-Recorder with the son OF
Speaker Crisp, the Macon Evening
News says:
The Americas imes-Recorder in
It's Sunday edition draws the venom
from the Tom Watson charges that
Bryan voted against Crisp for the
speakership of the house of represen-
tatives.
Now in view of the fact that Speak
er Crisp himself found no reason for
hostility to Bryan on account of the
treatment accorded him by the Ne
braskan, there is little reason for
Tom Watson to be tearing his shirt
over the episode in this day and gen
Grafton. Speaker Crisp, very probab-
~ knew more about the case than
did Watson, and if Mr.. Crisp could
have entertained Bryan as a guest
at his home, after the voting alluded
to, it is certain that there was moth
ing mean or small in the opposition
OF Bryan to Crisp.
The statement of Judge Charles
crisp should settle the matter as far
as any political significance on the
Georgia vote is concerned. AS for
the News it is willing to accept the
matter as settled. The only thing
winch we see can be charged to Mr..
Bryan IN voting for Springer against
Crisp is bad taste, but then Springer
was from the middle west, along with
Bryan, and may be, after all, it was
a case of neighborly sticking togeth-
err
AT any rate, we cannot see where
Watson, who deserted the democracy
to tight Crisp, has any great 'holler'
coming in the matter"

serious ARRAYS between drunken men,
or drunken and sober men, on trains
in this state, and there are women
and children who have had exper-
fences under such circumstances that
no doubt contributed to the sentiment
that brought about the enactment of
the prohibition law
In Louisiana conditions got so bad
that public sentiment forced the Leg
islature to enact the law to which
attention is called. There was oppo-
sition to it, and pretty strong oppo-
stion, but common sense and the
desire for relief from apprehensions
of danger from drunken men when
travelling carried the day.
Drunken men can be avoided in
the streets of a city or in any public
place in city or in the country, but
it is impossible to get away from
them in a railway car. Therefore
drinking and drunkenness in a rail-
way car should be punished with GER
tainty and severity It is such an
annoyance and source of danger that
it shouldn't be tolerated A law
similar to the Louisiana law would be
popular in this state If there had
been a law of this kind years ago
the sentiment in favor of prohibition
wouldn't be as strong as it is,

A PALPABLE INJUSTICE

1t is with great regret that Americas
and Sumter county receives the news
that the bill designed to aid. the agri-
cultural colleges by increasing the
tag tax from 10 to % cents, has found
its finish. Great hopes had been PIN
ned to the successful sailing of this
bill, which passed the house. but met
its Waterloo in the senate.
We confess that we cannot under
stand the position of the majority
OF the senate. 1t has been shown
that in Alabama for instance the tag
tax was 80 cents per ton, and the
price for fertilizer the same as in
Georgia. Which means that the fer
tilizer companies pay the tag tax.
1t is not amiss to recall the fact
that Americas and Sumter have given
300 acres of land and over 100000 in
cash for this school, with the under
standing that the state would main
tain it. This obligation the senate
has shown itself unwilling to recog-
nize
Perhaps some thanks are due the
senate for not taking away the ten
cents tag tax.
This fund can still be used as a
nucleus in planning for the continue
ton of the Third district school
For we take it that Americas will
not see the institution closed up
While the burden has been a heavy
one to provide the buildings and
grounds, it would be a waste of good
money spent to let the doors stay
closed this fall. Something must be
done. And to this end it behooves
Americas to take an inventory of the
situation to see where we are at.
BY all means the school should be
Kept open. While we firmly believe
that the senate was recreant to its
duty in failing to provide some relief
a condition and not theory con-
fronts us If the state fails to keen
faith, there is no recourse.
In two months the Third District
Agricultural College was to be open
ed. The time is therefore short for
dealing with the difficulties which
confront the school, 1t had been
thought certain that the senate would
follow the lead of the house. and. lit
tie anxiety was felt But in an evil
hour these hopes have been dashed.
We do not believe that Americas
can afford to let these buildings lie
idle and the farming lands go to
waste. Perhaps the next legislature
will take different view of the mat
ter Those schools which keep open
will be in a better position than those
which close.
1t is better that the school should
be open, even though it had to be
conducted on a narrow basis. This
will perhaps call the attention of the
law makers to the situation, and aid
in securing funds from the next leg
islature.
Let's take an inventory and see what
has to be done to keep the school
open. Americas may have to make
still further sacrifices on account of
the failure of the tag tax increase.
Having carried out her compact with
the state, the state now has apparent
ly refused to do her part in meeting
the growth of the schools.
It's an unjust burden to be thrown
back on this city and county.

not and they lost money under the
Cleveland administration. The mort

have been lifted, and the farmer now
huzzes around in his own automobile.
Is his wealth predatory" Is there
likely to be an outburst of fury
against the farm trust by everybody
who is not a member of it? We do
not make any such prediction; but
Mr. BRYAN would better be careful. He
has directed sharp attention to the
biggest sack of money in the country,
and has practically assured the farm
er that if they will give him hand
out he will grant them special fayors
if elected 1t is heresy to say anything
against the man with the hoe; but

may be a revolt on the part of those
who are not fortunate enough to be
farmers. Has Mr.. Bryan considered
this danger? Is he willing to sacri-
fee everybody else if he can get the
farmer contribution and the farmer
vote? How will he reconcile the clash
between the producing farmer and the
consuming workman? What will he
gain if he win the farm vote and lose
the labor vote?
But, doubtless, Mr. Bryan has fore
seen these things. He is a practical
man. He wants the sinews Of war
first, and he has gone to the proper
place to get them. With brimming
war chest he will be in a position to
deal with such minor problems as Sc

A Law Georgia Should Have
Savannah Morning News.)

A law that Georgia should have.
and to which even anti-prohibition-
lists would subscribe, is one making
1t serious offense to drink intoxi-
cants on passenger train. The Louis
lana Legislature at it's last session.
passed law making at a misdemean-
or, punishable by fine or imprison-
ment or both, to drink alcoholic bey-
erages in passenger train or on the
platform of coach of railway
train, and the law makes the train
men police officers with authority to
arrest violators of the law. The law
became effective last Monday.
The drinking of whiskey on passen-
ger trains has been and still is the
source of great annoyance and dan
ger in this state 1t isn't an uncom-
mon thing for drunken men to cause
trouble in trains, and nearly every
body who travels much on RAILWAYS
in parts of this state can recall
scenes of disorder of the most dis
graceful kind on trains due to intoxi-
cants. 1t is far from a pleasant ex-
perience to be in passenger car on.
which there are two or three drunk
en- men bent on making trouble. And
especially is the situation of a most
trying kind if there are women and
children in the car. There have been
