Where Lynehers Are Unsafe.

Newark, county seat Of Licking
county, Ohio. Is one place likely to
have few lynchings. In July, 1910, a
bitter saloon fight eliminated in the
lynehing OF an Anti-saloon league
crusader. who. 1t developed. shot and
killed a saloon keeper In self-de-
Tense. The lynching occurred on one
of the main streets Of the town and
was so public that participants made
little or no effort at Disgusting their
identity with 1t.
In some places in the country the
law would either have winked at or
closed its eyes entirely to this out
raging OF 1t, but not so In Newark.
Justice set to work soon after the
lynchers had completed their Job, and
justice finished Its task the other
day with the net result OF thirty con-
victions. One man was found guilty
Of murder in the second degree and
sent to the state penitentiary for life.
Thirteen were convicted Of man
slaughter. seven for rioting and nine
for plain assault and battery and all
given the limit OF the law provided
in each case
Those persons who have been dila-
ting upon the breakdown OF law and
Christianity In Coatesville. Pa, and
other places where lynchisg has gone
unwhipped OF justice, might find
here the subject for rhapsodies upon
the majesty and might Of the law and
religious influence. The law is no
weaker and no stronger In any COM
munity than the public sentiment OF
that community. The people who
wink at the crime of lynching gen.
orally condone other forms of crime
and the people who are prompt TO
punish lynchers would be quick to
uphold the law against any other
form OF violation. Yet 1t does seem
to require a peculiar type of moral
and civic courage TO make such a
complete and impartial cleanup OF
lynchers as Newark has made. 1t not
only lifts itself to a pinnacle OF loftier
respect. but rears aloft an example
for every community In the country
to observe and keep before II. II Is
an example that utterly dlsproves
that silly plea of the apologist for
law violation that lynching cannot be
effectually punished.

Government Telegraphs.

Postmaster General Hitchcock's
advocacy OF government owned and
operated telegraphs Is most interest
Ing because OF the abruptness and
characteristic emphasis OF the an
nouncement. II is quite remarkable
for cabinet officer to announce a
policy Of such prime importance In
dependently and for that reason alone
the matter arouses the deepest In
terest.
But federal ownership and man
agement OF telegraphs in conjunction
with the postal system is not new
proposition. Of course. 1t has been
advocated for many years and begins
TO appear now as one Of the natural
eyolutions which cannot much longer
be deferred. The Bee has been a
consistent believer In a government
owned telegraph system. ITS
founder, the late Edward Rose
water. was one OF its prime advo-
Gates. As long ago as December,
1891. before the New York Electric
club, he made an address upon the
subject. In which he declared:
For more than twenty-five years have
been convinced that sooner or later the
government. as a matter Of military ne
cesaity, as well as a matter OF commercial
necessity and in the interest OF the social
Intercourse OF the common people of the
United States. must own the telegraph
and operate II.
His address was the subject OF
extensive discussion upon that oeca-
sion by prominent men and was pub
lished In full and treated at length
editorially In the New York Elec-
trlcal Review, under date OF Decem-
Der IL, 1891. The title OF Mr.. Rose
waters address was Postal Tele-
graphs In Europe" where he had
recently been studying this very
subject. He believed then, as post
master General Hitchcock cites now.
that II the leading European coun-
tries could make such successes OF
the principle of government owned
telegraphs. the United States should
be able to do so. Mr.. Hitchcock be-
lieves that the vast machinery OF the
Postoffiee department should be
completely employed and he has done
his part TO bring about that end.
This machinery is amply able to take
care of the telegraphs as well as
parcels post.

Business Efficiency.

II 1000 corporations. public serv-
ice and others, with a minimum cap
italiEation of 100000 each. ac-
tually combined their efforts and re-
sources to produce the maximum of
efficiency. what tremendous results,
socially as well as industrially,
might be achieved. Such . plan is
projected. with James G. Cannon OF
New York as a prime mover. This
gives q high tone to the personnel
Of the movement at once. The plan
eontempIatcs permanent existence,
not merely a temporary spasn of re-
form. II means, OF course, scientific
management. which involves cutting
of the waste. mutual peace and pros
perity of employer and employed and
fair treatment of the public.
Says Mr.. Cannon: We want re-
suits, not only satisfactory to OWL
ers. but results satisfactory as well
to the working people. who, after all,
are the element upon which success
depends" This all seems utterly
ideal, but the need OF it is 80 urgent

cal basis.

and 1t is no longer denied that undue
exercise OF this power cheated the
other resource. Louis D. Brandeis
finds plenty of agreement to his
proposition that monopolistic trusts
have failed of either economic or So
ciaI efficiency. and consequently men
like James C. Cannon. who appre-
ciate the inevitable disaster Of con-
stantly widening breach between
capital and labor, realize the i'm
portanee of just such a movement
as this. 1t cannot reach practical
results too soon. Its substantial per-
lection will help 10 solve most of the

Employers Liability.

The announcement from Washing
ton that the supreme court Of the
United States has upheld the en-
aloyers' liability law in all the cases
brought before 1t is one Of the most
important bits of news recently given
TO the public. 1t is the final pro-
nouncement that the effort to cure a
great evil in our Industrial system Of
legislation is not repugnant to the or
ganic law Of the land.
Students of the problem have long
maintained that the practice under
which society was compelled TO bear
the burden OF Industrial accidents
was wrong. This fact was long ago
recognized abroad, and of late years
the United States has presented the
sorry spectacle Of being the only
really great nation in which loss in
this respect fell directly upon society.
In all of the great Industrial coun-
tries Of Europe losses due to indus
trial mishaps are borne by the indus
try. The principle is too well founded
to admit OF dispute. Efforts to Sc
cure It's recognition In the United
States have met with opposition from
interested sources. A law passed by
congress prescribing the liability of
common carriers and other employ
ers engaged in other state business
was attacked in the courts and de-
feated. A new act from which the
fatal defect was removed was also
attacked in court, and It Is on the
validity Of this later act the court
has now passed. Its efficiency and
constitutionality is now established,
with the added advantage that state
courts may enforce that act where
local laws are appropriate"
The movement for the enactment
by the United States OF laws intended
to compensate workmen for loss due
to Industrial accidents will receive
great impetus from this decision.
Burdened employers have long rec
ognized the principle involved, and
II seems now that II will not be a
very long time until II is generally
operative.

precau,ion. that Failed.

Job Hedges, the New York lawyer, was
called on to respond to toast at dinner
Of financiers the other night. says the
New York correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times-star. His predecessors had been
hacking away vigorously at the Sherman
ANTITRUST law. J. Pierpont Morgan had
chuekled audibly when chauncey NJ. De-
pew attacked that bit OF legislation, and
that had encouraged the other speakers
to tread in Depew's oratorical footsteps.
Some Of those who comment on the
Sherman law" said Hedges, make me
think OF Tom Collins. Tom planned a con-
yiyiai evening with some friends. Being
a prudent and foreslghted man, he deter
mined to make certain that he would get
home safely. As the streets of the VII
lage in which he lived were not lighted
after II o'clock he took q lantern when
he left home. Long after midnight he
babe his friends good-by, and started on
his homeward-bound trudge, lantern In
hand.
Next morning he was surprised to re-
ceiye a note from his host of the evening
before. Dear Tom II read. The boy
will give you your lantern. Please return

County Printing Bids.

OMAHA, Jan. ITO the Editor OF The

llsh an article about the Omaha printers,
in connection with the county work,
which throws a bad light on the printing
trade In general. What Is still worse, is
the fact that 1t is true. but we wish to
take exception to this. For the last few
years we have (unsuccessfully. Of course)
put in our bids on commercial basis
with legitimate profit, and, therefore,
do not wish TO be classed among the
cheap or unintelligent printers who ap-
parently do not know the business. Re-
