RAINSTORM IS DEFLECTED.
Was Heading Toward Washington
But Was Lost En- Route. :

rainstorm which appeared to be
heading this way from the south veered
off some time in the night and pre-
surnably slid into the Atlantic off the
Georgia coast There is less prospect
OF a storm to break the present drought
than there was last night. according to
the forecaster at the weather bureau
today, and the plants had better be
protected again by wisps of straw and
newspapers, as there is every sign Of
another frost tonight.
There have been storms of both rain
and snow in the south, but elsewhere
east Of the Rockies there has been u
dry spell. which perhaps will inter
fere with the spring plowing and
planting.
There is an area of low pressure
along the Atlantic coast, said the
forecaster today. and probably east
of that an area of high pressure, so
that the low pressure is keeping back
the high Since the war we haven't
been receiving reports from Europe,
and we don't know what sort of condi-
tions they are having. but the barome-
ter along the Atlantic coast on this
side has been unusually and steadily
low for month"

No Trial Was Given

A few months ago either in Georgia
or Alabama, l think it was in Georgia,
an old negro and his family were ac-
cused of crime. They were not even
accorded a trial but were summarilY
lynched by mob, Subsequent devel-
opments showed that there was every
reason to believe that none of the ne
groes lynched were guilty of the crime
charged, but so far as l have seen, no
reward was offered for the apprehen-
sion and punishment of their murder
ers and no double loaded editorials
were published denouncing the MUIR
Der by the mob as blot on the fair
name of Georgia.
Why the difference?
The explanation is easy to find.
There is, it is true, some prejudice
in some places against the Jew, but
nevertheless the Jews in this country
constitute a great political and flnan-
cial power. The names of Jews are
connected with the great banking
houses, the great transportation com
panies and nearly all the other pow
erful financial institutions Of this
country. The money power Of this
country dominates both the great po-
litical parties. 1t is therefore not
safe for politicians or political edit
ors to offend the Jews. Not so with
the negro. He yields neither finan-
cial or political power in this coun-
try.
1t is entirely safe for both polite
ians and editors to discard his rights
and to treat him with abuse.
When he is burned at the stake it
is briefly mentioned merely as a mat
ter of news but no denunciation is
made of his murderers nor shame
heaped on the authorities who fail to
protect him in his helplessness. Sup
pose that it had been negro who
was accused of the crime of which

Escapes Arrest
By Narrow Margin

On Saturday morning early a man
was noticed by one Of the officers get
ting quietly off number from the
south side of the train, carrying a
suit case that looked like it might be
loaded with booze. He proceeded
southwark to rooming house. Mar
shall SwartZ was notified to watch
the man and also to locate the hiding
place of the booze. Later In the day
Swartz discovered that the same
man took from the American Ex-
press office a large package of more
booze. The marshal soon located all
the liquor In a trunk in the house
where the man was staying, which in
amount was sixteen pints of whlskey.
The liquor was taken into possession
bp the marshal and the man disap-
peared from town. When it was
seen by the man that Swartz discoY-
cred the hiding place of the booze he
tried to explain that he got the
liquor for his own use, in other words
to cure bad cold contracted by him.
No sales could be proven on the
owner of the whiskey, so no arrest
was made. Swartz says he intends to
seize all liquor that he has good rea-
son to believe Is not shipped into
Liberal for private consumption.

Frank was accused, do you think
that he would have gone to trial?
Or II by some chance the form OF trial
had been gone through with, is there
any doubt about what would have
happened to him? The mob would
not have been so considerate as to
stop with hanging him. They would
have burned him at the stake and
no public denunciation of the mob
would have been made by the govern
or or the press.

gains no popularity by taking the
