South Nav Draw Another.

The governors Of the New England
states have united in memorializing
President Wilson for the appointment
Of a New Englander as Interstate
Commerce Commissioner to succeed
the late commissioner Clements. Their
argument is sound and emphasizes the
problems Of New England transporta-
ton which require adequate knowledge
for their solution. The plea should be
welcome to the President. for it will
point the way for him to provide for ex-
Senator Charles F. Johnson of Maine
who. since his defeat last September,
has been among those whom the ad-
ministration has had in mind to take
care of.
The late Commissioner Clements
came from Georgia and was a Demo
crat, so that the political equilibrium
Of the commission would be maintained
by Mr.. Johnson's appointment. But

Americas Mob Spirit

Ones first thought on reading the
q hours digestion Of the riot in Boston,
is that America would better pluck the
mote from its own eye before going to
Europe to reform Prussian cutthroats.
When Uncle Sans uniform is con-
spicuous in riotous scenes in one OF the
countrys most historic and cultured
centers, we may as we'll conclude
that Americas respect for law does
not entitle it to sit in judgment over
any other people. That conclusion is
reinforced by the damning evidence
from a state having a larger popula-
ton than any other, save one, in the
Union.
What would we say of the Turks if
JOY riders shot up an Armenian set
tlement and then, when defense was at
tempted, hundreds were murdered in a
wholesale hunt?
Why was our civil war. if today's
COlOI6Q CltlLeIlS, AtCCO, cAAAoAASAPo'SN'
by a holy war, are to be the gun
fodder for a Fourth of July celebration
by drunken, blood thirsty white thugs
from the dregs of an American city?
Has history Of Slavic slaughter of
Jews anything worse to show than fhe
niger hunt" Of July 2, in East St.
Louis?
It is not that socialstic cussedness
and thorn in the flesh of community
control is RIGHT, but that interfer-
ence by u. S. forces in civil affairs is
WRONG. Men who cannot be trusted
to respect and safe guard constituted
authority should not be allowed for
moment longer in Uncle Sans uniform.
They have stained the service in the
eyes Of the world, and should be
promptly removed from such service
as a warning to others of the serious
ness of the offense.
It is not that groups of jeering, in
sulting. brawl- provoking negroes are
a pleasing addition to an otherwise
peaceable community. but that taking
fcrcible control of such community into
the hands of the lowest element Is
wrong.
The shooting down Of one negro by
one white man is murder. The shoot
ing of one negro by an unidentified
mob is no less a crime. The perform
ance in East St. Louis was wholesale
murder.
America has many sins and stepped
in follies for which to answer before
she can say to the world, look on me
and be better" Personal liberty to
indulge in force that which is wrong in
the individual is a curse that must be
conquered before the millennium-it
must even be ended before we car
claim to be a governed" people.
