Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 2.-The lynching
record for 1908 shows that the prac-
tice OF taking summary vengeance on
persons guilty OF certain forms Of
crime is increasing rather than dimin-
ishing. The figures for the twelve
months beginning January 1, 1908, are
larger than for several years past.
Though the most of the lynchings oc-
CURED in the South. they were not
confined to that section by any means.
Springfield, ILL.,, was the scene of the
greatest race riot of the year, result
ing in the lynching of two negroes and
the killing and wounding of a number
of citizens who participated in the
riots that lasted several days. OF the
other northern states, one lynching is
recorded for Indiana, while California
furnished the only lynching in the far
West
Mississippi. Georgia and Texas in
the order named, furnished the great
est number. A quadruple lynching in
Kentucky increased the figures in
that state over those of previous years.
The record OF Texas for 1908 was six.
fold greater, than in 1907. In Arkan-

Chemistry, one might imagine, is
the science which has, perhaps. made
the greatest strides during the last five
or six decades. Yet modern chemists
can not compound such dyes as were
commonly used when the great ma
tons of today were still unborn. Now
and again 1t hapens that searchers
after antiquities come across frag
ments of fabrics which were dyed
thousands of years ago. and they are
astonished by the wonderful richness
of the colors, which, despite their age
are brighter and purer than anything
of the modern kind.

the day time, because there was no
way to light them at night.
1T is only within modern times that
there has been luxury worthy of the
name. There was little to cheer in
those old days. Coffee, tea and cocoa
had not been found. There were no
liquors. Our friend from Broadway
could not have had his perfecto. To
bacco had not been discovered. The
Broadway man might as well have
been lost in the wilds Of New Jersey"
Don't you imagine such a talk as
that warmed the heart cookies of your
New Yorker?
The skyserapers.
When they began, a number of
years ago, building skyscrapers on
lower Broadway, it would have been
difficult to convince even the most
optimistic New Yorker that such
structures would ever be erected
north OF Forty-second street. They
are talking today of building skyscrap-
ers at 149th street. One of the most
conservative of real estate authorities
expresses the belief that it is only a
matter of few years when the Bronx
will have office buildings as imposing,
almost, as those on lower Manhattan.
There is certain class Of New
Workers who would be mighty glad to
see all future skyscrapers erected in
the Bronx. These are timid citizens
who fear that some day the lower end
of Manhattan island is going to slide
off into New York Bay. The rock
foundation of Manhattan is shelving
and when, some years ago, geologist
with more regard for notoriety than
reputation, predicted that under the
weight being placed upon it the lower
end of the island was destined to slide
into the sea, quite a number of people
became afraid to come down town.
What Future Holds.
Some day nature will have run its
course, and Anthony Comstock will
have passed to his reward. And on
that day a lot of New Workers will
gaze on life with new eyes of joy. A
very busy and pestiferous fly will have
been removed from their ointment of
wickedness.
New York believes it could be a
whole lot wickeder, and consequently
whole lot happier, were it not for
Comstock and his society for the sup
preston of vice. He is what the
Great White Way would call spoil
sport. Just about the time some man
gets started in some little form of di-
version forbidden by he law, the po-
lice having been persuaded to ignore
what was going on, up hobs Comstock
and puts stop to it.
An enterprising restaurant man in
And street advertised that he would
give an automobile to the patron who,
on a specified date, would be able to
exhibit the largest number of stubs
from luncheon checks. In other
words, the biggest eater would get the
auto. Comstock heard of it. and
swooped down. declaring it game of
chance. He didn't pecify whether
the chance was on indigestion or the
govt, but he threatened arrest unless
the contest was called off. With
Comstock about. what's the use of
living in New York, anyway?
