YOUTH SHOT WHILE
PLAYING INDIAN"
Malcolm Saline, II, Injuries
John Lynn, II, With
Fathers Gun.

When John Lynn, II, son of Charles
w. Lynn, 424 South Fourteenth street,
slapped Malcolm Saline, a colored boy
of the same age and son of G. Ellie
worth Saline, Thirteenth and South /,
yesterday afternoon, the latter ex-
claimed, ''Ill go home and get some
thing that will fix you" In a few min
utes he returned with a single barrel
shotgun which he fired at the Lynn
boy, the fine bird shot piercing his left
side. his shoulder, neck and lodging in
his face.
He was taken to the hospital, where
an examination showed that although
a great number of the shot had taken
effect, none of the wounds were dan
gerous, although the ball that passed
through the boys neck grazed an ar
terry.
Charles Lynn, the boys father, has
not reported the affair to the police,
as yet. He and Ellsworth Saline will
try to settle it without going into the
courts.
Fought in Tree.
Young Lynn and Malcolm Saline
were playing Indian" at the sand
banks, south of the end of Fourteenth
street, with number OF oJuer vu4.-
dren about their age, when the shoot
ing occurred. Ropes and pieces of old
guns were used to make the game
more realistic. The Lynn and the
Saline boys were in a tree when they
got to scuffling over a rope which the
Lynn boy had. Malcolm took it away
from him, and unraveled it. John then
slapped the colored boy
Climbing down from the tree NAL
colin made the threat The other chill
dren say that they paid little attention
thinking that he was going for his old
er brother Ito clean up on the crowd"
as they expressed it.
Undisturbed they continued their
game. The Saline boy hurried across
the field to his home at the corner of
Thirteenth and South /, about three
blocks away, secured his fathers gun,
and returned to the sand banks He
crouched along the ground in true In
dian fashion, until within thirty feet of
the children, when lying fat he fired
at the Lynn boys head, the charge
hitting him a glancing lick.
John, his face covered with blood.
walked to his home, followed b. a
crowd of moaning, crying children.
Ellsworth Saline told Mr. Lynn that
he did not know whether the gun was
loaded or not, but that the boy knew
where he kept the gun and his ammu-
milton. He says that he did not ques-
ton Malcolm when notified OF the
shooting, but whipped him and sent
him TO bed for the rest OF the day.
The Saline boys mother has been
dead for several months. The affair
occurred about o'clock.

A GOOD DEAL OF A COUNTRY.

Mr.. James J. Hill of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Railways,
who has done 30 much to develop the
great empire in this country below the
Canadian border, from the Lakes to
the Pacific ocean, Is quoted as saying
that ''When country can produce
$4,000, 900 worth Of products from
the ground, creation Of wealth from
elemental conditions, there is not much
cause to worry Which is true enough,
but is merely a fractional statement
of the actual condition of production
in the United States.
To the $4,000, 100000 Of agricultur-
al wealth created year by year must
be added $4,000, 100000 worth Of wealth
taken out of the ground in the form
of metals, coal, oil, and various sub
stances that enter into the industry
and commerce Of the country.
And yet, even SO, we are but enter
ing upon the tremendous valuations
created by the labor Of Americans
year by year
The manufactures of this country,
employing a capital, according to the
latest census reports, Of $1s,42S,275,-
900, pay out about the same in ex-
penses, and turn out products to the
value of $20,672,O52, 900.
We have also foreign trade which
amounted last year, in imports to ST.
81s,133, ,355, and in exports to $780,
217 7,993, total foreign commerce Of
$4,217 ,351 ,346.
These figures are, except for the for
eign commerce, the greatest that can
be shown by any nation in the world,
and the total valuation of this coun-
try equals that of the next two most
wealthy nations Of the earth.
A good deal Of a country it is, after
all, in spite Of all the fault-finding, the
scoding, and the loud-mouthed walls
that we are not doing anything like
what we ought to do either for our
selves or in the progress Of mankind.

fairs without interferen.e from the i'm
perial government.
This, as q general plan, has received
no encouragement, and yet matters in
Great Britain appear to be working sub
stautially toward the same lines The
! Irish home rule bill, which the House
of Lords has been able to stay for two
years, will soon become a fixed fact
And now the agitation for Scottish home
rule begins, and is favorably received in
the House Of Commons, as indeed it
could hardly fail to be SO received, The
next integral part Of the home country
to be so released to the control Of its
home affairs will probably be Wales.
And so the imperial scheme is likely to
work out substantially on the lines long
ago proposed, for this is clearly line
of progress that fits the time, and can
not much longer be postponed. It would
have been far better if the British Par
lament could have taken this whole
matter up years ago, and voluntarily
created the imperial policy Indicated,

now about TO be done.
The first Of the home countries to be
accorded entire home rule was, singu,
larly enough, the Isle Of Man, which
was taken over by England centuries
ago on the express condition that the
local rule that had prevailed hitherto
should be continued. It has been con-
tinued, and is a fair pattern, so far as
it goes, for what has been enacted rs
to Ireland, and what will doubtless he
enacted as to Scotland and Wales; while
the English speaking people in the
colonies beyond the seas, as Canada and
Australia, will doubtless eventually
come into the representation in an i'm
perial parliament which is their due.
The same recognition Of India and South
Africa or any other British colony which
has not a preponderating English-speak-
ing population, is not likely TO be &C

sentation for long years to come. But

that no great injury has been inflicted,
and the prospects are for yield even
better than that of last year, great as
that was,
Iron and steel activity continues on
finished lines, and the mills are gen
orally behind with their orders, but
the new orders are not in any way
comparable with those that have pre-
vailed for the last few months.
No change is reported in the wool
situation, sales being still confined to
the actual needs of the time, with
prices not materially changed, There
is less immediate buying Of the wool
clip Of the Western States than in for
mer years.
The stock situation remains lethar-
gic, as usual, but there is abundance
Of money in the country, not only for
our own needs, but to lend to the i'm"
Fortunate borrowers of France and
Germany. Altogether the situation is
as favorable as could be expected, the
main difficulty being to discount prop
erly and fairly the effects Of the
tariff bill Inasmuch as the provl-
sions of that bill must be said to be
very much in the air until the Senate
action thereon is known, the period is
one of uncertainty, but still Of cer-
tain degree of hope.

BRYAN'S PEACE PLAN.

Secretary Bryan is justified in exult-
ing over the progress made by his So
called peace plan, That plan, to be
sure, is not very definite. and yet it is
promising for at least sone progress in
the development of the peace sentiment
of the world, and making that senti-
ment practically apply to nations that
are disturbed and might be disposed
to war. On Decoration day Mr. Bryan
was able to state publicly that eight
nations, to wit, Italy, Great Britain,
France, Brazil, Sweden, Norway, Peru,
and Russia (given in the order Of their
adherencc), have responded favorably
to his invitation for the consideration
of his plan, and invite its more perfect
development
Essentially that plan, so far ag de-
fined. is simply one Of delay Stated
briefly, it is that when nations are
about 20 engage in war or are supposed
to be entering upon war, there shall be
pause Of such length Of time as may
be agreed upon by international stipu-
lation, before hostilities actually begin.
This interval is supposed, and very
properly so. to be conducive to the set
tlement of such difficulties as exist, to
give time for serious consideration, to
vantages of peace, with constant SEN
timent in favor of peace as against
war
Although not very definite or GER
tain, it is fair TO presume that such de-
lay as Mr., Bryan proposes upon the eve
of an impending war would generally
lead to some adjustment of the difficult
ties upon which the war was threaten
ing. 1t is practically certain that any
agreement of this kind would coniem-
plate the offer of the good Offices of all
the civilized nations for the settlement
of the troubles as between the proposed
belligerents. These good Offices, togeth-
er with the delay, and with the peace
sentiment that would be at the back Of
all, would almost certainly relieve the
pressure without fighting.
1t is distinctly to Mr.. Bryan's credit
that he has been able to awaken inter
est enough IN eight nations to get a fa-
vorable response upon his plan and to
ask for a further development of it..
President Taft has heretofore distin-
guished himself by submitting pro-
posals for international peace, which
were favorably accepted by Great Brit
ain, France, and Japan, with Germany
ready to agree also when the Taft plan
might be fully prepared
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Bryan
may be ablo to carry his plans to sue
cess, for abortive plans for peace, plans
that amount to nothing and come to
nothing. will presently tire the nations
Of the earth so that no favorable re-
sponse will or can be expected from
them for any proposition Of this kind.
The fact, however, that three powerful
nations responded to President Taft IS
definite plan for peace, and that eight
have responded to Mr.. Bryan IS tenta.
tive plan. shows the interest OF the
world in the cause of peace. This posi-.

LEGISLATION BUN MAD.

We see in some of the Boston papers
a statement that the Legislature of
Massachusetts, has passed a very curl.
Gus bill which was made effective on
April 13, 1919, and there is much in.
quiry as to what it means, and what
called for such legislation. The very
curious act referred to reads as fol
lows:
Chapter 72-An Act Relative TO the
Cleaning of Presses by Publishers and
Printers:
BE IL enacted. etc, as follows:
All publishers and printers shall use
q sa nitary cloth or other sanitary ma
teTial In cleaning their presses
Now, the idea of there being any
thing unsanitary in the cleaning OF
presses is one Of the curious fallacies
that sometime impose upon people who
do not know. The need for legislation
Of this sort is about as great as would
be the need to legislate that coffee
shall be Of warm temperature when
lit is served at table, Very likely the

A BRITISH FEDERATION.

For good many years there have
been suggestions made in different parts
of the world for British federation,
something on the line Of the federation
Of the States of this Union. 1t was
proposed, for example, by The Salt
Lake Tribune a good many years ago,
and probably by many others, that Eng
land, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland of
the home countries, and Canada and
Australia of the great colonies, should
be placed on a basis Of local self-gov-
eminent, with representation in an I'M
pcrial Parliament, which would consider
imperial subjects alone, leaving the
local administrations in the different
countries to control their own local af-

WAR OFFICIALLY ENDED.

bottom of the war made every partici-

was at war. The result has been shock

were reported on both sides, the charges
probably being true in the main,
The signing of the peace treaty, how
ever, by no means ends the complica-
tions. In fact, it is estimated that it
will take month yet to complete the
adjustments made necessary by the war.
The great questions of boundary linaita-
tions, of the disposal of cities and of the
islands Of the Aegean sea, and of the
status of Albania. all will require deli
cate negotiations and probably at some
points the assertion of power by the big
European nations.
Specifically all Of the powers have
given in, their adherence, but not all of
the Balkan states, and probably indeed
not any Of them, have willingly as
sented TO peace as matters stand. They
agree to it because they cannot help
themselves.
The delimitation of Albania is prob
ably one of the most important matters
to come up in the adjustments referred
TO, Essaad Pasha, who proclaimed him
self King of Albania and had an army
of some 10000 men to back him, was
promptly assassinated upon his assump-
tion of rule. The Duke of Montpensier,

zen suits him good deal better than
that Of King of Albania Still, the
powers agree that Albania shall have
autonomy under ruler of her own. The
point of whether that rule be as a. SUI
erainty of Turkey is not entirely sat
tied, but the probability is, since the
European powers will put a King of AL
bania on the throne, that he will be in
dependent of Turkey, but answerable to
the general concert of Europe, about as
the Kings of Rumania and Bulgaria
have been in the past.
An arduous month is ahead Of the
who are undertaking to make
the adjustments that are now necessary,
and many a point of fraction will be
developed, with much objection and
protest. Still, the probabilities of fur
ther war as between the allies are
rather remote, because it is not likely
that the European powers would con-
sent to the reopening of hostilities of
any kind, and surely nothing could be
gained by fighting, since the great pow
ers will in any event settle the whole
matter in their own way.

THE ROOSEVELT LIBEL CASE.

The result Of the Roosevelt libel trial
is very much of fiasco. The impress
sion given to the country last year by
Col. Roosevelt's IS statement and that of
DR., Lyman Abbott that Col. Roosevelt
was practically a total abstainer was
not borne out by the testimony of Col.
Roosevelt and his friends, but that tes-
timony clearly established that Col
Roosevelt is not what is commonly
called a drinking man, although he is
not averse to very moderate use Of light
| wines and very small proportion Of
brandy in a glass Of milk now and then.
| The testimony cleared Col. Roosevelt
| absolutely from the charge that he was
a drunkard, or that he was at any time
incapaciated by drink from doing his
work The fact is that Col. Roosevelt
is O. man of such tremendous activities,
such very great production in writing
and In work Of many kinds that the
charge that he was drunkard was on
the face of it absurd, for no drunkard
or no man given to the drinking Of
much liquor, could do the work that
Col. Roosevelt habitually does from day
to day.
The charge, therefore, was not only
utterly unfounded, it was impossible;
and the editor who made it in his paper
retracts and apologies. Thereupon,
the Colonel magnanimously asks the
judge to instruct the jury to return a
iHt sc ,t 5on
which is done, and six cents is name ed
as the amount. Thus the libel suit re-
suits to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and we do not doubt but that
the American people will be quite con-
tent with the result as reached.
There is one portion of the matter,
however, that deserves a word. 1t is
often the case that in trial where
bitter animosities divide communities
into almost fighting sections, that an
accused appearing before court en-
deavors to pack the court room with
his particular friends and adherents.
Such attempts to pack the court room
in the interest of the accused, are usual
ly condemned emphactically by the pub
lie. In this case the Colonel surround
ed himself by an imposing array Of his
particular devotees, and the act saw
ored very much Of the sort of tactics
referred to. The presence of so many
of those distinguished gentlemen might
fairly be held to be designed to over
awe the court and to intimidate the
jurors. No such effect is reported, how
ever. and Col. Roosevelt IS adherents
will doubtless explain that he took
those gentlemen with him merely for
the purpose of getting their testimony,
they being the ones who knew best Of
his daily habits. And since the trial
resulted as it did, no doubt the gen.
eral public will be entirely disposed to
let it go at that.
