Some of the Democratic press
are endeavOring to blame the ne.
Qroes of East st. Louis for the
riots in which they were ruth
leSsly murdered or driven from
their homes. The effort will fail
and ought to fail. No one has
ever contended that the colored
people were doing anything but
quietly following their legitimate
occupations. in making a living
for their families. If they had
been idlers, rOwdies or criminals
there might be some excuse for
their expulsion from the COM
munity, but even that should be
IN an orderly and lawful manner.
The fact OF the matter is that
East st. Louis is in a section of
Illinois that was strongly pro-
southern during the Civil war |
and that still has much of south |
ern sympathy and ideas. The
county in which East St. Louis is
situated has habit of going
Democratic. While there is a
large proportion of the uopula-
tlon that respects the rights Of
the negroes, the community is
one in which just such outrages
as the unprovoked negro massa.
ere could occur. The Democratic
press is doing itself no credit in
trying to excuse the outrage.

conference in Columbus will have
a real and practical value in meet

naturally and properly have to
come from the colored people of
Ohio, who are already established
in Ohio. Upon them will devolve
largely the personal contact with
the newcomers, and they will be
their guides in counsel, goodwill
and example. They will be soon
able to separate the deserving
from the undeserving. Then the
white man will have the problem
put up to him in no small degree.

A Better Method.

Senator Mclean of Connection
proposes that members of the
Cabinet shall have the privilege
of attending sessions of Congress
and that they shall have the con.
sequent duty of answering ques-
tions regarding executive policy.
This is a copying of foreign prac-
tice in countries where the Cabi-
net is a ministerial agent of a
parliamentary majority, and it
would be of only slight value in
this country, where Cabinet off,
GERS are beyond the control of
Congress except through the stig-
matlzlng process of impeach-
ment. Yet the fundamental idea
OF Senator McLean's proposal is a
good one-and it can readily be
carried into effect by adopting the
Weeks-Madden resolution for the
establishment of a joint commit. |
tee on the conduct of the war.
This. in fact. would be the bet
ter method. Such a committee
could interrogate a member of the
Cablnet-even Jo&ephus Daniels
and could obtain from him the
information which they, as rep
'esentatives of Congress. would

A New Problem.

The southern negro is coming

The latter suggestion is valuable,
chiefly as indicating that in Con-

ing that there should be a closer
coordination of the two branches
of the government; and we hope
that the Mclean resolution will
not be buried in committee, but

For Soldiers Dependents

In a certain city court the other day
the blind mother Of soldier who is
with General Pershing in France, was
accused OF begging on the public
streets, thus disobeying city ordi-
nance. The evidence disclosed that
the aged and unfortunate woman was
very poor and faced the alternative Of
the poorhouse OF asking aid from those
she accosted on the streets.
The judge OF tho court very prop
erly remarked that AZ should not be
necessary for blind mothers or moth.

Amateur gardeners. VINO may have
harvested some of their early crops
or who have space in their gardens not
occupied are often in doubt at this sea-
son of the year, what to plant. 1t is
not too late to set out tomato, cabbage
or ruta baga plants. Early cabbage
can still be grown from the seed on
fertile land. Peas, carrots and the
strap leaf or Russian turnips can be
grown from seed If planted within the
next ten days. 1t is just the right
time to plant early varieties OF string
beans for canning. Anytime this
month, beet seed may be sown for
