OFFICER MURDERED;
two NEGROES LYNCHED

Shreveport, La, March 2.-Police-
man Porter Sanders was shot and
killed in the West End section of the
city here last night by negroes while
attempting to arrest Jack Campbell,
another negro. The officers body was
found on the Texas & Pacific railroad
tracks.
Within an hour after the discovery
of the body, two unidentified negroes
were shot and killed by police officers
who were under the impression that
they filled the description of the
slayers of Sanderson. The dead police
man leaves widow and five small
children. Campbell is still at large.
There is much excitement in the west
end and it is believed Campbell will
be lynched If caught.

THE PAUPER LABOR
OF NEW ENGLAND

The most striking illustration of the
mill strike situation in Lawrence,
Massachusetts, is found in a photo
graph in Sundays Register of mill
ing home with two loaves of bread
from a place of free distribution. 1t
will be noted that the Massachusetts
legislature reduced the weekly work
ing hours from So to "a hours. This
legislative act, it will also be noted,
caused the mill owners to cut off two
hours of pay. The strike followed.
The essential feature of the illustrated
story is found in the fact that the two
hours reduction on wages represented
22 cents. That is II cents an hour.
This sum means a weekly income for
Sc hours of labor the sum of $6.16 a
week The marvel of it all is how can
a married workman support a family
on $616 week?
The serious question to the wearers
of American made goods is, is it worth
the while through high tariff taxes to
support Industries which breed power
ty and ignorance that the New Eng
land millionaire may flourish
Open the doors wide for the free
entry of the cotton goods from the old
world. Then pauper labor there will
be better employed.
Then the importation of this pauper
labor as is done in the mill centers of
New England, to crush American la
Dor, will cease.
Then the 100,000,0OO wearers of cot.
ton goods in the United States will get
clothes at less price.
Then the Southern cotton farmers
will be able to sell 100000 bales
Of cotton for Is cents a pound just as
easily as he now sells his cotton crop
of 100000 bales for Is cents q
pound. s= -r'
Then the millionaire New England
mill owner, hgihg on psuper. American

Mortimer l.. Schi!f, the millionaire
banker who has lately gained a great
deal of publicity through the Brandt
case, is one of the organizers of the
Chattel Loan Society of New York,
which was organized recently to en-
able the small borrower to secure
needed money without going to the
loan shark and paying usurius inter
est. The maximum loan of the society
will be 5000 and the rate will be two
per cent a month. This will be re-
duced in case the society shows a
profit, as it is the purpose of the or
ganization to supply money at the ac-
tual cost of handling it. Robert w. De
Forest is the president and Mortimer
L. Schiff the vice president The board
of directors includes Paul d. Cravath,
John D. Cummins, tombstone DeFor-
est, Edwin G. Merrill, George D. Partt
and other men of wealth and social
prominence. The warfare on the loan
sharks, carried on persistently by the
New York Globe and other newspa-
pers and organization, has resulted in
educating the borrowers to the evils of
the system and made such a society as

PUBLIC OPINION.

President Taft assumes the proper
attitude touching his candidacy when
he moves out to attack the other fell
lows, and to present those achieve
ments of his administration and party
which he believes to be entitled to the
popular respect and support. When
any candid person sits down to a
study of the existing situation, he
discovers that the heart of the ma
tional administration is not only
filled with the purpose to serve the
country. but that the President is able
tC@point to a record of substantial
achievement. His predecessor filled
the air with declarations of what he
proposed to do. There was a we'll
nigh continuous breathing out of
threatenings and slaughter. but the
actual accomplishment by no means
equaled the advertisements. AS Con
gresham Mccall of this state said
/ in shis speech at Minneapolis, the
President "has chosen to pursue the
law and to proceed in the courts, and,
as a result, the statute, which for
twenty years has appeared vague and
doubtful. has, by judicial construction,
been given a definite force against
monopoly without the slightest injury
to honest business enterprise. -

| When Little Willie Alsorandolph
Hearst fixes his eye upon a public Of
flee, he assuredly makes things I'M
pleasant. Sometimes it is by attacking
an institution which he cannot make
his, as the Juvenile court in Chicago;
sometimes by assaulting a man be-
cause he becomes a rival as in the
overnight change from Hughes when
Willie decided to be Governor. Wood
row Wilson is now receiving those
blows which come to anybody whom
Alsorandolph looks upon as an OBJ
stacle. The trick is easy Wilson has
written books In one of them he
has mentioned the importation of
cheap foreign labor to break down
the standards which American labor
has built up. We all know that big
trusts, big steamship lines, and officl-
ais of foreign governments have com
bined to play this game, but it isn't
safe to say it. Willie knows it, but
in Wilson's candor he sees his oppor-
tunity. All you have to do is to seize
some phrase like men of the lowest
class from the south of Italy and men
of the meaner sort out of Hungary
and Poland wrench "class" and
"meaner sort" out of their obvious
meaning, and overlook the fact that
Wilson was expressing fear lest the
standards of life and work of the
American workman should be lowered.
So about the Chinese. Readers who
trust Hearst's papers can be buncoed
into believing that Wilson disapproved
of excluding the Chinese. He spoke
of their unsavory habits. unwholesome
squalor, and essential foreignness of
nature, but also contrasted their skill,
intelligence. and hardihood with the
immigrants who were tolerated be-
cause they usurped no place but the

The suit brought by DR.. w. j. Ar
litz, one of the surgeons who attended
Mayor Gaynor after the attempt on
his life by Gallagher, seeking to recov-
err the difference between his charge
of $500 and the $4,000 allowed him
by the New York board of aldermen,
has raised nice question of profess
sional ethics. 1t is admitted that ply
sicians necessarily have different
rates for rich and poor, but whether
man of prominence should be charg-
ed more than an obscure person is
something else again." The city of
New York is certainly rich enough,
but the aldermen considered DR.. Ar
litz's bill ecessive. Mayor Gaynor is
far from being rich, and, moreover, It
seems hardly fair that he should have
to pay the $4,000 when he received the
injury solely because he was public
servant. The aldermen allowed to-
tai of $4,000 for professional services
to the Mayor, and in addition the Ho-
boken Hospital, Of which DR.. Arlitz is
the chief surgeon, received $15,1S4 rails
ed by public subscription. The courts
will have to decide whether the fame
of patient is a matter to be consider
ed in making out bill.
