FRIDAY
Collective Wisdom.

The collective wisdom of the COM
munity. which the redoubtable Jona-
than Bourne, of oregon. is 50 found
of laudinS, was most gloriously dem
onstrated the other night in Hamilton,
Georgia. where an incident occurred
10 which The Republican has already
called notice In that town four ne
ErUes, one of them girl. had been
arrested on Il charge of murder. Be
fore they had been tried, before they
had been indicted 10y a grand jury.
before they had even had preliminary
hearing before a magistrate, they
were taken from the Jail 10y one
hundred Of the citizens of that place,
hanged to trees. and their bodies
riddled with bullets
1t has since been demonstrated that
two of these negroes were absolutely
innocent. In the case of another
while his innocence has not been
demonstrated, there is not a particle
of evidence to connect him with the
crime that caused the lynching
There is some evidence against the
fourth but he will never get the
chance to explain that evidence be-
cause he is dead. He was killed by
the collective wisdom" of that COM
munity.
one Of the victims known to have
been innocent is the girl The man
whose murder caused the collective
wisdom OF the town to slaughter
these negroes. is man who had
tried to force the girl 10 life Of
Illicit love.
II the spirits Of these four ne
groes could convey a message To this
workaday world The Republican fan
cies they could make some interest
ing comments on the infallibility of
this collective wisdom which so be-
sets the soul of the senator from
Oregon.

From the way the candidates in The

ed over by some fairy godmother.
Wonderful things have been done by
fairy godmothcrs in ages pass, II the
best traditions Of "Pinafore' may be
accepted. To the uninitiatcJ it does
not require a great stretch Of fancy
To ascribe the success of many of the
candidates to the enchantment of some
fairy queen.
Those who are initiated in the mys-
t. ries Of the case. however. realize that
the cause of the candidates wonderful
accomplishments must be sought else
PLANTATION is quite simple and practi-
cal indeed. 1t is simply a matter OF
the appreciation of time AMI thor
ough understanding Of the most e.
fcctive way to utilize it.
Everything indicates that there are
few. if any. people who understand
better the value Of a moment and how

All is orderly in Juarez, with the

American soldiers allowing no one
to pass to the Mexican city without
credentials from civil or military au-

The location of either federal or

''DODGES THE MAIN ISSUE
THE COLONEL ASSERTS HIS oP.
PoNENT DOESN'T UNDER
STAND PLATFORM
MAKES A PLEA FOR VOTES
ASKS RANK AND FILE or ALL
PARTIES TO SUPPORT HIS
CANDIDACY

Revere Beach, Mass, Aug. 17.-Hon-
esty in nominations and elections and
social and industrial justice was the
text Of a speech delivered here today
by Theodore Roosevelt. The progress
sive candidate also contrasted his at
titude toward the progressive platform
with that OF Governor Wilson toward
the democratic platform as expressed
in the latter's speech Of acceptance.
Whereas Governor Wilson, he said,
stated that "the platform is not a
program" Colonel Roosevelt declared
that the progressives treated the plat
form as a program and contract
which we shall scrupulously fulfill if
the people give us the power"
Colonel Roosevelt said, in part:
Il wish to emphasize the fact that
we are absolutely clear from affilia-
ton with either of the old parties;
that we regard both the old party
machines as hopelessly corrupt and
incompetent. and that we appeal TO
the rank and file of the old parties
equally to stand with us for good citI-
zenship in TIE spirit of true Ameri-
cans Exdsmocrats and ezrepuhIi-
cans alike. we hope, win share with
us the task Of building up the pro-
gressive party and we invite into our
ranks men and women entirely with
out regard to their former political Of
filiations, to their creed, their birth
place or the color of their skins.
"The first essential in securing the
right of the people to rule is to secure
the unsparing condemnation of dis
honesty in nominations and elections.
To steal nomination or to steal an
election is even worse than to steal
a purse, for it is a theft of the peo-
pies rights. 1t is theft from the people
as a whole. Two years ago the fight
against Mr.. Lorimer was started by a
great Chicago newspaper and was
continued by certain private individu-
ais and we who then took part in
that fight did so at a time when the
average public man obviously thought
lit would come to nothing. But friends,

New York, Aug. IA general in
vestigation into police graft in all its
passes is to be undertaken by the ex
traordinary session Of the supreme

man Rosenthal News that the SUI
preme court would conduct grand

ing full powers OF compelling testi-
mony caused a panic in the UNDER
world today and many gamblers and
others hurriedly left the city.
1t had been supposed that the APP
pointment Of Justice Goff was only
for the purpose Of trying the Rosen-
thai murder cases. But it leaked out
that the supreme court would begin
a John Doe inquiry that would delve
into the innermost relations between
the police and keepers Of gambling
and disorderly houses Under John

gamblers and keepers e disorderly
houses and force them to tell how
much money was paid for police pro
lection and to whom the money was
paid. The aldermanic inquiry, 1t is
expected, win cooperate with the
work of the supreme court.
Evidence is in the hands of District
Attorney whitman that disorderly
houses in the city paid more than ST.
100000 for police protection during
the last year and that this money
went to certain police inspectors and
others higher up The punishment
inflicted upon Inspector Hayes by re-
