royal matches are not made by those
most personally concerned in them, but
by councillors and relation and inter

Many an American girl, probably,
would exchange millions for the crown
of a queen, but there is little prob
ability that he will be allowed to think
seriously of anyone but princess royal.
To his court his possible marriage is
matter of grave concern. Several times
the gossips have picked out bride
for him, the latest reports being that
his mother, Queen Amelie, and the
Duchess of Fife, King Edward s Oldest
sister, will combine TO mate him with
Princess Alexandra of Fife, now elgh-
teen years old and debutante in So
ciety only a few months ago. From
the political point of view such an al
legiance might be greatly to the adj
vantage of Portugal. King Alphonse
of Spain, who is happily married to
niece of King Edward, is said to have
advised Manuel earnestly to marry an
English princess But Portugal IS a
Catholic country and England is Pro
testant. a serious but not an lnsur-
mountable objection, Princess Patricia
of Connaught has been mentioned IN
connection with Manuel, but she IS
twenty-three years old, and princess
Younger than Manuel would be pre-
ferred by his court. Several other con

passed in review, but objections of one
sort or another have teen expressed to

IuSTICE For WHOM2

The Owensboro Messenger is
right when it says IF it is desired
that lynchings should cease, then
not only quick justice, but adequate
justice must be melted OUT; but not
in the way the Messenger means.
Lynchings take place, because the
lynchers know that quick and ade-
quate justice will not be melted out
to them. Since lynchers themselves
profess "quick" and adequate JUS
tice" for the crimes of the lynchee,
the Messengers argument falls of its
own weight when II comes to the
lettering effect of lynchings on
crime. We do not for a moment be-
lieve that speedy justice for a Grim
inal in a court of law, assured from
the beginning, would deter his
would-be lynchers; but We do firmly
believe that the certainty of quick
and adequate justice" melted out for
the crime of lynching, will have a
prompt and lasting effect on that
form of popular amusement.

That warning comes to the ears
of the city man. II is the voice OF
the prophet; he reads IL in the mar

senses. Never before were the pro-
hts of farming so high, or so many
comforts and conveniences provided
for the agricultural classes. The
country is growing, but the tide
which set in city ward 20 years ago
multiplied the non-producing urban
population, while the rural popula-
tion almost stood still. II will re-
quire redoubled efforts to feed the
population during the next ten years,
and IL is altogether likely that the
food production never will overtake
the ever Increasing demand.

table.
On this subject the greensboro
Inquirer says:
"Mr. ]. ]. Hill, the railroad mag
nate, says that the people are flock
ing to the cities in sch numbers
that not enough of them are left on
the farms to raise cotton and wheat
sufficient for the needs of all the
people. What MIR. Hill says is true.
Too many boys have left the farm
for employment in the city. or
course a small percentage of them
have succeeded in the city, but the
great majority of them are in the
ranks of the common laborer, and
no common laborer in the city can
prosper half so well as the cropper
or farm hand. When the common
laborer of the city pays house rent
and buys food for his family he has
nothing left. He must of necessity
live in a small house in the crowded
tenement districts and often his
family goes poorly fed and poorly
clad. Not a few become dependent
upon charity, thing almost wholly
unknown among the agricultural
classes.
Even the young man. with no FAM
lily to support can not prosper as a
common laborer in the city, as he
may on the farm. In the city he
receives low wages, and after paying
his board, laundry bills and other
necessary expenes he has but little
left upon which to dress. AS a
farm laborer he receives his board
and laundering free. He is even
furnished a horse to ride or drive on
Sunday and on occasions of social
affair in his neighborhood. Horse
hire in the city is too expensive for
the common laborer, except once in
great while.
IF you left your country home,
young man, to accept the task of a
common laborer in the city, go back
to the farm; go back to the farm. "

The Color Line.


The color line Is drawn sharply by
lynchers in Kentucky. Several weeks
ago a Frankfort negro was bmched
by a mob for having shot a circus
man. in Tngg county a negro boy
charged with exempted assault was
iyncbed. Be- 'een the dates OF these
va lynchings ~. Nuttall. a phys,
clan in charge OF patients at the
Feeble Minded Institute" at Frank
fort, was charged with having as
saulted a woman under his care. He
was allowed ample time TO make
preparations TO avoid arrest, and
after a good deal OF delayl that might
easily have been avoided. a reward
was offered for him. There was no
apparent interest upon the part of
the authorities in bringing him to
trial.
The hoodlums at Frankfort and
those In Trigg county committed
murder merely for the pleasure there
was in stringing up defenseless vic
tim. The three brothers OF the girl
in Trigg county, to whom an i'm
proper proposal was made. were
guarding the negro on his way to Jail
when the mob interfered. Their con-
duct under trying circumstances was
creditable. The negro would, OF
course. have been convicted II he had
been put in jail and tried A negro
charged with attempted criminal as
sault Is not dealt tenderly with by a
jury OF white men.
There is but one conclusion to be
drawn from the three cases. At
tempted criminal assault Is punish
able by death without trial II the ac-
cused IL black. Shooting and wound
ing is punishable by death without
trial IL the accused Is black. Criminal
assault is to be winked at II the ac-
cused is white and prominent. II Is
difficult to decide which Is more hu-
initiating to decent citizens, the mob
murders or the contemplate ma
chinery of the law which admits OF
courtesy being shown to DR.. Nuttall.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
Crime stories in Newspapers.


II is common complaint when
newspapers are under discussion that
they devote too much space to crime
stories. That these complaints are
not justified is demonstrated very
thoroughly, says the Courier-Journal,
bl an article written and copyrighted
by Arthur l. Street, publisher OF
Streets Pandex of the News. In Chi
lcago. Mr.. Street goes into an extern
sive md careful analysis OF the mat
ter published last year by the leading
newspapers of the country.
In his summary, which embraces
thousands OF items handled bv tele-
graphic press associations and by
special correspondents. Mr.. Street
shows a total of 443 items relating to
leading criminal cases. Items relat-
ing to other topics are given as fol-
lows: Foreign news, 2.2S0; con-
gress, LAO; railroads, 679; Roose-
welt, $50; Taft, 450; banks, 500;
Democratic party, $3.50; educational,
1925; Germany, 81; Republican
party, 3O5.
or minor crimes there is a show
| ing of 800 items. These relate TO
suicides, murders, robberies, embez-
elements, arson and various other
events having a criminal feature.
They, of course, are legitimate items,
such as news papers cannot ignore in
their capacity as purvegors to the
public demand for news. II will be
noted, however, that when these
minor crimes are added to the num-
Der OF reports dealing with the lead
ing criminal cases there is still an
overwhelming majority OF items re-
latlng to non-criminal. news matters.
OF his itemized record Mr.. Street
says:
at shows beyond any possible
cavil that the amount OF serious and
important matters printed in the
daily press of the country far out
weighs the sensational and the super
fetal. II demonstrates that the news
papers are ever more alive to things
that make for real progress than
baser evils of society. And 1t thor
oughly substantlates the claims of
those who understand the newspaper
best that II is the most comprehen-
siye, valuable and effective factor in
modern human advancement"
Mr.. Street probably could take no
note of the many thousands of items
of strictly local concern that appear
in the papers, items relating to COM
mercial, industrial or material Inn
provements, to social and church
affairs, and those which are purely
personal-all of which tell of things
which tend to elevate mankind.
Nevertheless, as the Courier-Journal
says in conclusion: "Mr. Street has
done an important service 20 the
newspapers and to the public in his
compilation. II will remove an erro-
neOus impression from many casual
reader and will moderate the asperity
OF many a carping critic"
