To the Editor of the Post:
To say that some work hard be-
cause many do not work at all, tells
the truth, but only part Of the
truth. In such a community as
Newark most persons work or have
earned rest by an active lifetime
of labor. In every such community
however, as in all communities,
very few owe part or all of their
wealth to the fact that they are en-
abled by reason of owning well sit
uated land to take for themselves
what belongs of right to the COM
munity. If all taxes were abolish
ed except those on land values the
most important causes of unjust
monopolies for the benefit of the
few would disappear, and with
these would gradually disappear
want and the fear of want. Then
every man would be entitled to
grow as rich as he could. for his

A CIVIC DUTY NEGLECTED

Georgia has failed. Law, Order,
and Reason have failed. Even pas
sion is not an excuse. The lynch
ing of Frank was premeditated,
planned and executed to a dlabol-
ical nicely that staggers Hope.
We do not infer that this outrage
did not shock the better citizen
ship of Georgia as much as it did
the rest of the country. But never
theless that same better citizen
ship has failed. And in the fail
ure has, we hope, been taught a
striking lesson of the duties of
citizenship.
Of late we hear much of such
terms as civic consciousness
Civic duties" Soul of the State
In times normal we are wont to
place these in the Seminary of
Theory. But here today, we have
the burden and responsibility Of
these terms thrust upon US in
practical every day problem Of
State. There is a civic conscious
ness and had it been developed in
Georgia in keeping with the spirit
of this boased age of Right and
Reason, this smirch on her honor
would never have occurred. Had
that finer, more successful, and
cultured citizenship of our South
ern State done their full duty to-
ward their fellowman, there would
have been such a spirit ct civic
consciousness that would have
made impossible the thought st
such a crime. 'He was Jew;
shame on the ignorance and preju-
dice. And shame, too, that Georgia
had not done her full duty in dis
relling that ignorance. All the
guilt does not lay at the door of
the few masked men. Much of the
responsibility must be placed on
the self-satisfed better class, not
awake to their duty to the whole
society.
Our own disgrace several years
ago when a negro was taken from
the Workhouse and burned at the
stake did not give expression to the
opinion of Delaware. Those who
did the foul deed did not represent
the State. Yet the State was part
" responsible. Had we, as citi-
zens, done our full duty in educat-
ing our people-all our people
and developed a civic conscious
ness. this blot would not be writ
ten on the page we give to Della
wares History.
Society is responsible for
crime" is a disputed theory. But
this can he said without fear OF
contradiction, Society is respons'
ible for the method of punishment
Responsible whether it shall be &C
cording to law and reason, or BY
custom of ignorance and passion
Georgia has failed. Whether Franz
was guilty or not is not pertinent
The State has failed. The bes'
opinion Of the country thought
him innocent. Governor Slaton re
fused the demand of a mob. Bu'
today, while the lynching does no
represent Georgia, it shows thai
Ignorance for the time had the
upper hand.
Failed. May she profit by the
disgrace and see that civic con
sciousness is aroused in keeping
with the Spirit of the Age.

To me the one amusing note about
the peaceful parade of unemployed
Sunday which was turned into riot
through the actions Of police is the
insistence of even very good people
that the unemployed should not have
paraded without a permit.
They really believe what they say
and they do not seem to understand
just how ridiculous the idea is that
any army of unemployed could by
any possible chance secure a permit
to parade through the streets of Chi
cagO. l know Of one. occasion on
which the mayor refused to see a
delegation of unemployed to discuss
with them solution of the UnemplOy-
ment problem, and without fear Of
contradiction frankly state that the
mayor of the city of Chicago would
not have issued a permit to that army
of unemployed to show its ragged
ness and it's hunger on the exclusive
bOuleVards sacred to the aristOcracy
of wealth of Chicago.
It wasn't alone hunger that has
driven these men to the place where
they were willing to parade without
the gracious consent of the city; it
wasn't alone that they were jObless
and shelterless. The whole system by
which labor's surplus is cheated and
beaten and betrayed entered into
their spirit when they walked forth
to face drawn guns in the hands of
policemen.
George Rogers, one Of the men ar
rested because he resented an Of
ficer brutaly punching him in the
back with club, told me before the
meeting began just one story that
will give you a glimpse into the way
these men are betrayed.
Desperate, they seize upon any
form of labor that will give them
sufficient to eat, and George Rogers
applied to the LAWYER Ice Co. for
work in the ice fields

sary run by the company and paid
1712 cents an hour if he STAYED I'M
til the ice cutting was finished, or Is
cents an hour if for any reason he
quit before that time, but on the card
given him was nothing about the fact
that he would have to pay his rail-
road fare. At Twin Lakes, however,
Sl.4O was deducted from his pay to
cover the expense that he did not be-
heve he had to assume when he left
Chicago.
On days when there is a thaw
these men must sit around idle, earn
ing not cent, but still paying for
their board at the company's com
missary, and at the end of ten DAYS
George Rogers found he had the
large large sum of $2.18 coming to
him after his expenses were deducted.
Another man told me that he had
entered a saloon at Desplaines and
Madison and in the saloon he and 6S
other men were offered work for the
Northwestern Ice Co. at Clinton.
They were given cards which referred
them to the Western Boarding & Sup
ply Co. with Offices at Desplaines and
Madison, and this man said that not
a word was said to those 50 men
about any. fee that they must pay to
the agency, but they were told their
board would be 81 a week and they
would receive 1615 cents per hour
for the time they worked.
The men had to bunk fourteen in
a box car. Also they had to buy GER
tain articles necessary in their work
from the commissary department,
such as boots, socks and so on.
When their money was due they
went to the railroad company, got
some sort of check and were sent to

BULLET FROM
SOLDIERS GUN
KILLS SLEEPER
Accidental Discharge of Weap-
on of Guard Results in
Death to Japanese

Torahachi Uratake, Japanese car
penter's helper employed at SchOfield
Barracks, was found dying In his
bunk yesterday morning, with bullet
N his head and an hour later II was
ascertained that the wound was
caused by the accidental discharge Of
a gun carried by Pvt. Endias Adams,
Company X, 25th Infantry.
Adams was doing sentry duty and
early yesterday when passing the
corner OF the quartermaster's store
house went to shift his gun and in
doing so caught the bolt in the cloth
strap OF his left shoulder and In trying
to release it pulled the trigger. The
bullet went through the walls CT a
room back of the barber shop and
struck Uratake in the head.
Uratake was sleeping In room in
the building just outside the military
reservation, In which the barber shop
and two sleeping rooms are located.
II. Hikagawa was IN the room with
him and In the next room three other
Japanese slept. One OF the latter,
Nakamura, went outside early In the
morning and when he came back,
about 3 o'clock, saw that Uratake was
bleeding. He found the man wounded
and summoned aid. .Uratake was car
ried at once to the hospital and died
shortly afterward.
The bullet entered the top of the
mans head and was found lodged in
the muscles under the chin.
Captain OF Detectives McDuffie and
Detectives Kozuh and Kellett went to
Schoield, on Information that q. muir
der had been committed, and were
told by officers that the Japanese had
been killed by one Of his companions.
McDuffie began an investigation and
found bullet hole IN the side of the
house, just above Uratake's head. II
came in at an angle and by follow
ing up the apparent line the detec-
lives were led to the corner OF the
Adams was questioned
and said that his gun had been ac-
discharged The soldier
had no idea that any damage had been
done and was almost overcome by In

ENGLAND FEELS
WAR WILLNOT BE
OVER VERY SOON
Common People Beginning to
Realize Gravity of Peril,
Says Noted Japanese

English people OF the higher class
are now beginning to realize that the
European war IL not going to be as
easily won as they first thought, and
that II may last a long time"
So said Yorisadz Tokugawa, son of
Marquis Riarin, and nephew OF Prince
Tokugawa, this morning, in discussing
affairs in England, where he has fiy.
ed for the last three years. q
The young and distinguished Jap
anese is on his way home, and de
clared that aristocrats OF Great Brit
ain are now much more concerned
over the war and its outcome than
they. were year ago. He stated that
the majority Of students OF Cambridge
University are now at the front. He
lived In Cambridge for three years.
The English are confident they will
conquer the Germans said Mr. To-
kugawa, but that II will be q much
longer and harder task than they anti
cipated." He said English newspa.
pers are no longer allowed to print
weather forecasts as German spies
might forward them to Germany and
more frequent Zeppelin raids would
result IL the Germans knew the wea,
tier was favorable for an attack.
s. Santo, accompanying Mr.. Toku-
gawa, is returning to Japan after
three years as a student at the Uni
yersity Of London. He said Britishers
have been much less cordial to Japan
ere residing in England since Japan
captured and held Tsingtau, on which
Britain has always had an enyious
eye.
Mr.. Santo asserted that the com.
mon people Of England are now stir
red up over the war and continued
bad news from the front. He said
enlistments are much more frequent
among the middle classes and lower
classes. which until recently have
been apathetic,
