Why Eberhart Ran Ahead.

That special effort was put forth
in behalf of Ex-Governor Eberhart at
the presidential primary election is no
secret. Thousands of personal let
ters' were written in his behalf and
printers ink was freely used in ex-
toling his virtues. It is estimated
that the "effort" for Mr.. Eberhart
cost his friends several thousand dol
lars. The query is who furnished these
friends the money, and what is the
object in view?
In this connection the St. Paul COR
respondent Of the Mortified News
offers these pertinent remarks:
"Adolph Olson Eberhart is now an
out and out candidate for United
States senator, and his chief argu-
ment will be that he is a marvellous
vote getter, running 10000 ahead of
former Governor Van SAINT. If the
people only knew the many tricks
used to pile up a big vote for Mr..
Eberhart their belief in him as pop
ular idol would wane considerably.
Not only was the vast army of for
mer appointees such as oil inspectors,
boiler inspectors, game wardens and
the like urged to get out and vote,
and the friendly papers literally sup
piled with portrait cuts, but the cut
est game of all was to instruct the
true blue boys to vote only for Eber-
hart, thus holding back the vote for
his rivals. This trick, it is declared,
was turned in certain wards in Min
neapolis with telling effect. It is the
belief that if Eberhart had made the
same sort of campaign as S. R.
Van SAINT, and j. F. jacobson and
Fred C. Stevens, he would have been
little ahead Of them if anything. But
he would not leave it to the people,
or rather his managers would not
and the vote was forced by every
means possible"

A National Good Roads Law.

The Bankhead good roads bill, now
pending in the senate, is a measure
designed to bring about cooperation
between the National Government
and the States in the building Of good
roads. The principal is very much
like that utilized in Minnesota under
the Dunn good roads law, to encour-
age county activity in road-building
by State contributions.
The Senate measure proposes to
appropriate five million dollars for
the purpose the first year, and grad
ually to increase the amount year by
year till it reaches twenty-five mil
lions in 1921. This money is to be
distributed among the States on an
arbitrary basis in which the three
factors are: Area, population, and
rural free delivery mileage. This
scheme of distribution favors the
States that are larger in area and
population-which are, of course,
precisely the states that most need
road improvement.
In each case, however, the State
furnishes from fifty to seventy per
cent of the cost Of construction
as the counties of Minnesota must
match the States contributions under
the Dunn law. The Bankhead meas
ure imposes on the Secretary Of Agri-
culture the duty of seeing that the
roads selected for construction are
suitable, and that the work is done
according to a certain standard. The
state highway commissions first plar
the projects and submit them to the
Secretary of Agriculture for approx.
al Then the States let the contracts
and supervise the work.
There has been a good deal Of out
cry, especially from the older states
against this plan on the ground tina
it is new 'pork" distribution
scheme. But the supporters of i
have pretty thoroughly disposed O.
this argument. If every hamlet tina

Had a Quieting Effect.

When congress the other day was
discussing adversely the right of
postal employees to petition congress-
men for better pay one congressman
asked: '1s it any more crime for
a man to write a letter to member
of congress asking him to vote for
something for his benefit than it is
for the member Of congress to write
letter to his constituents asking
them to continue him in office at
$500 a year," That had a quiet
ing effect on the discussion.-Red

A Boston Opinion.

Dispatches from Minnesota indicate
that Moses E. Clapp, United States
Senator from that state, whose term
expires no March 4 next, will meet a
vigorous opponent in the person of
Frank B. Kellogg, widely known as
the special counsel for the govern
ment in it's suit to dissolve the STAN
dard Oil Company of New Jersey, the
parent of that trusts many subsidiary
companies.
While it is in this way that Mr..
Kellogg became chiefly known to the
eastern public, he is a lawyer Of COM
prehensive equipment. He has been
counsel for the interests of the United
States Steel Corporation in the north
west, for the Chicago & Great West
ern Railroad, and the Northern Paci-
fic. He thus occupies the unusual pos
ition of being retained by the United
States to investigate the methods of
various corporations on the one hand
and of being recognized as a great
corporation attorney on the other.
Mr.. Kellogg's work for the govern
ment began with the investigation of
the so-called Western paper trust. He
secured decision in 1906 dissolving it
as combination in restraint of trade.
It was Attorney General Moody who
appointed him to conduct the Standard
Oil Investigations. The Minnesotan
followed the service with pursuit of
the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
in which his questioning of Mr.. Har-
riman and other railroad officials at
tracted wide attention.
If Minnesota wants to send to the
Senate a man for whom the visitors
from all around will inquire as soon
as they get into the gallery, the state
will name Mr.. Kellogg.-Boston Her.

ing ever 90 Often" was the COM
ment Of South Carolinian on the
recent mob murder of Anthony Craw-
ford at Abbeville, S. C.
The story of the lynching is told
in the Independent by Roy Nash, who
spent several days at the scene to
discover the truth about the outrage
Crawford, negro. was wealthy,
and the father of about dozen chill
dren, most of them married and living
in community of their own seven
miles from Abbevillc, where Craw-
ford operated farm of 427 acres.
The killing of Crawford resulted
from his cursing a white merchant
whom he accused of sharp practice in
trade. The mob was diverted once
from its purpose and the sheriff
! lodged the then badly wounded man
in Jail. From there he was removed
later and mauled so brutally that he
died before the mob hanged him and
shot repeatedly into his body.
Not satisfied with this, the muir
derers held meeting and determin-
! ed upon the banishment of all Craw-
ford's kinsfolk from South Carolina.
Mr.. Nash quotes the editor of one
of that States leading journals as
saying:
Crawford was worth $4,000, and
that is more than most white farmers
are worth down here. Property own
ership always makes the negro more
assertive, more independent, and the
poor whites can't stand it. There is
an element of jealousy that enters in
whenever they see 'nigger' forge
ahead of them, and they lay for a
chance to jump him"
"I would not lie to save any man"
Sheriff Burts has told Gov. Manning,
and so there is a possibility that the
mob spirit in South Carolina is due to
encounter decided setback, as the
sheriff is expected to identify perhaps
100 members of the slayers of Craw-
ford. '
incidentally the community of
Abbeyille has been aroused as never
before to the perils of mob excesses
and is organizing to protect worthy
negroes from such outbursts in
future.
