THE worm shows signs of turning.
Armed with fiery resolutions adopted
at an exciting mass meeting, COM
mittee of prominent negroes of Wash
ington, D. c., on Tuesday began work
on plan to induce all the negroes of
the United States to join in protest
against lynching and race riots in the
south, and to demand protection and
equal rights in all parts of the coun-
try. Texas was denounced and the
whole south was arraigned, the su-
preme court of the Uuited States was
inveighed against, and the newspapers
of the country we're attacked amid
scenes that at times bordered on a
riot. Among the participants were a
number of prominent negro Office
holders.

other murderer was electrocuted In
the State Prison, on Tuesday evening,
and it excited less attention on the
part Of the public than would school,
boys fight in the street. In fact, few
except those officially summoned to
witness the infection of the death
penalty knew there was an electrocu-
tion, until they read the brief accounts
Of it in the morning newspapers. In

THE indictment in Newark, Ohio, of
fifteen persons for participation in the
lynching of Carl Etherington, an officer
Of the Anti-Saloon league, probably
marks turning of the tide in popular
complacency toward mob violence.
The governor Of Ohio and the legal
authorities in Licking county have
shown every disposition to treat the
murderers of Etheringuon just like
any other murders. The mayor of
Newark acted on the once widely pre-
valent view that citizens bent on TAX
ing the law into their own hands
should not be unduly interfered with
He did nothing TO quell the rioting
which preceded the lynching, and
Governor Harmon removed him from
office for negligence. Now the courts
are to try the lynchers as common
murderers, ignoring the usual pretence
that they were acting as sort of
vigilance committee, merely anticipat-
ing the formal operations of Justice.

Will cANNoN,s rIeHT HELP
FOWLER RI


Considerable interest is manifestsin
the question as I'd whether or NOT or
ganized labor in the fifth COMPRESSION
al district will support Representative
Charles N. Fowler for denomination.
Despite any orders that may come
4 from the national headquarters of.the
American Federation OF Labor in re-
gard to Fowler, it is said to be almost
certain that he will not have the solid
support of the labor unions in the fifth
district.
1t is said that the local labor or
CARNATIONS had several anti-Fowler
plans sup their sleeves, including his
labor record in congress, which would
be used to influence the labor vote
against him, when it became known
that the desire of the heads of the
American Federation was to defeat
Cannonism and to defeat it by helping
the insurgents Mr.. Fowler included
who are known to be bitter enemies
of the speaker of the house. The or
der to change front, and instead OF
fighting Fowler, to support him, which
it is said, has already been received
here in tentative form, will not have
the effect of turning the solid labor
vote over to the insurgent congress
man.
On several important labor questions
which have been voted upon in the
house during Mr.. Fowler's last two
terms, some of which were backed by
the American Federation, Mr.. Fow-
Ter is reported as not voting" Other
measures against the passage of which
organized labor was arrayed, Mr.. Fow-
Ter is reported having voted for. That
Mr.. Fowler was conspicuous by his
absence when some Of these questions
important to labor were up for debate
and passage is evident by the record
which has him not voting. Eliza

THE vast area of the public domain
even as it exists to-day, will doubtless
prove surprise to many people, who
have vague idea that the public
lands of the United States are pretty
well exhausted, and that such as re-
main are situated only in the Far
West AS matter of fact, there are
still approximately 731, 900, 900 acres OF
the public domain, and while most of
this area is west of the Mississippi,
there is a considerable area in such
states as Florida, Alabama, MiSsissip-
pi, Michigan and Louisiana.
AS result of the conservation move
ment considerable portion Of this
area has been temporarily withdrawn
from settlement, the total withdraw
ais exclusive of small tracts withdrawn
for military reservations, lighthouse
stations, ETC., amounting to 294 ,000,-
600 acres. The withdrawn area in
cludes, of course, the national fer
ests, which aggregate approximately
1913, 100000 acres, Of which $4,000 acres
are in Porto Rico.
A considerable portion of the public
domain is unsuitable for settlement
under existing conditions, but the ex-
pectation of the government to re.
claim large area by means of irriga-
ton is shown by the fact that IT,
100000 acres have been withdrawn
pending the application of water from
irrigation projects.

Warren G. Harding, the Republican
nominee for governor of Ohio, is a
newspaper man by profession and has
been prominent in Buckeye politics for
many years His public service in
cludes one term as lieutenant governor
in 19O3-O6 under Myron T. Herrick
and two terms in the Ohio state SEN
ate before that.
Born at Corsica, Morrow county, o.,
Mr.. Harding will be forty-fiye next
November. He got his first educa-
ton in the public schools of Caledo-
mia, Marion county, where his father
settled in 1871. and was graduated
from the old Ohio Central college at
iberia in 1882 with the degree of B. S.
In 1882 Warren G. Harding went
with his parents to Marion, taught
country school for a season, then
started the study of law. His news
paper inclinations led him into the
publishing business in 1884, in which
pursuit he has since been active. He
made the Marion Star a notable news
paper success in the face of many OBJ
stacles.
Mr.. Harding is considered brilliant
speaker. Except for short interval

THE managers of several railroads
have held a meeting and formulated a
statement to the interstate commerce
commission, setting forth that the in
crease of operating expenses has been
so great that it must be met by adj
vanced freight and passengers rates.
or else turn the roads over to the gov
eminent. They aver that they cannot
pay the increase in expenses unless
there is a corresponding increase in
revenue, and that If the interstate
commission persist on maintaining
the old rates it will mean nothing but
bankruptcy or government control,
Indeed some of the railroad men think
it would be a good idea for the govern
ment to try running the railroads and
find out for itself the conditions that
have to be met. Many politicians have
for years been favoring government
ownership of railroads, but if the state
ment of the companies be correct the
government would have to charge
higher rates than the present, or else
run behind, like the postotfice depart
ment. And incidentally the manage
ment of the postoffice department
gives the public an idea of what gov
eminent management of railroads
would be, and that is very unsatis-
factory, says the Paterson " Call"
The postoffice service is not only poor,
but the department has been so badly
conducted that it has run millions be-
hind every year. 1t is believed that
if the postof1ice system were managed
by corporation or by any good bust
ness man, the service would be hum
dred times more satisfactory and cost
millions less than it does at present.
