NINE NEGROES LYNCHED
Striking Firemen Said to Be Taking

Lexington, KY, March 15.-Nine ne
groes, it is said, were lynched in
northern Tennessee, close to the Ken
lucky line, by striking firemen on the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas
Pacific railroad and their sympathi-
zers. Several passengers arriving
here from the south say that rioting
and violence are going on in the noun
tains to a great extent. Railroad Of
fcials will neither affirm nor deny the
reports. =
Charles Swartz, the st. Louis detec-
tive, was shot while trying to hold off
a mob at Glen Mary, Tenn. He was
improved sufficiently at 3 p. m. to give
an account of the trouble. He said
that when the train. on which he was
assigned stopped for water at Glenn a
crowd of men rushed toward the en-
CINE after a negro fireman and he
leaped from the cab in ar. effort to
hold them off. An exchange of shots
followed and the detective received a
wound in the mouth. In the confusion
the mob allowed the negro to escape.

Governmental Commissions of
Ex.Senators and M. C's.
INVESTIGATION IS TALKED OF
President Taft's Plan of Economy May
Receive Support from an Unex-
pected Quarte-AmiabIe Gus
tom May Be Broken Up,

Washington, March 15.-When the
extra session of congress begins it
seems likely that aid for President
Taft's general plan of economy in pub
lie expenditures will be forthcoming
from an unexpected quarter.
Certain of the insurgent Republicans
be made in the direction of economy
by a%bolishing some of the commits
sions, or at least reducing the salaries
now paid to former senators and rep
resentatives who have esconced themA
selves in government berths.
Some of the senate insurgents are
prepared to argue that the policy of re-
ducing the salaries of clerks in the
classified service and at the same
time paying large salaries to lame
ducks from Capital Hill is a mis-
guided plan of retrenchment which
saves at the spigot but wastes at the
bung.
The insurgents have directed their
attentions, for instance, to the inter-
national commission on boundary wa
tiers, a joint commission with Canada.
A lump sum was appropriated for this
commission. The state department
fixed the salaries of the American
commissioners at $4,000 a yea each.
The president, upon the urgent recon-
m%endation of senators and representa-
tives, appointed ex-senator Thomas H.
Carter of Montana and ex-Representa-
tive James A. Tawney Of Minnesota
as members of the commission. The
salary to be paid the commissioners
is $4,000 more than they drew as leg
i%slators.
Another plan proposed by the insur-
gents, looking to retrenchment of pub
lie expenditures, involves the person
mel of the monetary committee. AS
originally conceived this commission
was a joint affair between the two
houses with the appointing power for
each house vested in the presiding Of
icer. The civilian members OF the
commission and the civilian officers
were the only ones entitled to receive
salaries, but through legislation the
original plan for appointing commits
sioners has been enlarged until today
it is made up chiefly of ex7senators
and Representatives who since their
retirement from congress have been
drawing salaries equal to those paid to
them as senators and representatives.
The insurgent senators believe that
the commission plan of caring for ex
senators and Representatives is an
amiable custom, but an expensive one,
and they are talking seriously of di-
recting an inquiry into the matter and
extending it beyond the congressional
commissions to look into various 9TH
er creations of this kind for which con-
gress has provided in the past and
which once set in motion appear to
have an interminable tenure.

THURSDAY. MARCH Is. 1911.
GOO l. A w.

The laws delays, and the small
techincalities Of the law, ever tend to
bring courts Of justice into disrepute.
But the wise and prompt execution Of
justice by a court endears a government
to it's citizens. The following from the
Milwaukee Journal tells of one judge
who stands square to the winds Of right
public sentiment which are blowing
these days:
Down in Cincinnati Boss Cox has
been indicted by a grand jury. The
boss whines that he is a victim Of
political prosecutions. The judge is a
Democrat who by some miracle was
elected in spite of the bipartisan
machines.
The other day the boss appealed to
the judge to quash the Indictment be-
cause a letter was missing in a word or
something of the kind and the judge
responded that he wasn't on the bench
to defeat justice by straining at techni-
calities. He said:
In this enlightened age of progress,
the court and counsel must keep pace
with the modern advancement of the
science of law. 1t was ever intended as
a shield to protect the innocent and a
flaming sword to strike down the guilty.
No quibbling or caviling should be
tolerated by the court. The ancient
practices of evading the tolls of the law
because the rs were not crossed Or the
is not dotted can have no place in
practice that should be applied to a
modern criminal trial.
Certainly. celebrity and simplicity of
practice and procedure should be the
landmarks of the criminal trials, to
the end that speedy justice should be
melted out to all offenders, and that no
guilty one shall escape nor any innocent
one suffer-
1.-The judge, we take it, has been
reading the newspapers. 1t is certain
that he isn't fit to sit on a jury and we
may be quite sure that one of Boss
Cox's judges will override him.
This election of judges by political
machines is fine business - for the
bosses"

Authors in 1.-The good old days. were

1t is impossible to speak too highly of
THE Cloister and the Hearth" 1t is one
of the most scholarlike and learned as
we'll as one of the most artistic and beau

in a review. you will Eve obtain

what a story teller! What verve and

this man! What passion and cool

But the height of literary advertis-

adopted ~deploring the vote of 40 to As
by which Lorimer retained a seat in
the U. S. Senate, and the action of
Senator Cullom in voting for Lorimer
in the face of all the evidence against
him. The decent and honest politicians
and people of Illineis are indignant at
the action of Cullom and the 45 Sena-
tors who voted with him. Every county
city and village in the state should
adopt resolutions denouncing this great
wrong perpetrated upon the people of
Illinois. 1t is an everlasting shame to
the state to let it pass unrepudiated.

Democrats Determined to Put

CUT OFF REVISION Of TARIFF
Republican Opponents Disappointed
Because Indications Are Canadian
Reciprocity May Be Voted
Without Accomplishments.

Washington, March Is. - 1t seems
now that it is the intention of the
Democrats in the lower house of con-
gross to pass the Canadian reciprocity
agreement without lacking any tariff
revision measures to it, and Repub-
lican opponents of the measure
are therefore much disappointed.

week when the announcement was
made, seemingly by authority, that the
Democratic committee on ways and
the cotton and wool schedules to the
Canadian agreement. Since then the
committee, or at least a majority of it,
have experienced a change of heart.
Within the past day " two Chairman
Underwood has caused it to be known
that the Canadian agreement would
be reported to the house precisely in
the form in which it was submitted to
congress at the recent session.
Whether the committee has changed
president that he disapproves Of the
plan to add anything to the Canadian
bill or whether the Democrats came
to the conclusion that it would be bet
ter politics to ratify the agreement
just as it came from Mr.. Taft is not
made clear. All that the leaders can
be induced to say on the subject is
that the agreement is to be passed by
the house as it was outlined in the
