Special Agent Investigating.

We have been informed that spe- cial agent of the district court is mak- ing an investigation of the qualifica- tions of the liquor dealers for li- cense renewal in July, it having been reported that some of them are get ting the money the easiest and quick est way. Any such violations nay subject the saloon keeper to an ir- mediate revocation of his license. The court evidently intends str'ct en- forcement of the law on, the liquor question and the dealers will have no one to blame but themselves if they persist in allowing their places to be the headquarters for the "stew bum element; continue to dispense their goods to minors, and habitual drunk ards, and allow unfortunates to be re- lieved of their bank rol!.--Cordova Times.

U. s. Reply, to Harmonize With Allies.

"And understand, and l hope they
, will understand, 1t Is only n question
of time. We are only democracy,
we have not the swift decision and
competent action Of a military au-
tocracy, but we cannot be fooled or
played with too long. There are some
newspapers published in this city ey-
cry day the editors of which deserve
conviction and execution for treason
And sooner or later they will get 1t.
The American people are not going to
see their young men led to death
through the Vaccinations Of these i'll
concealed friends Of the enemy Of our
country"
What does it all mean? What is
taking place now in this great world
war, These are words OF chagrined
disappointed, desperate man. Is 1t
possible that the civilized world Is
now at bay? Is 1t case OF desper-
ate cases requiring desperate rene
dies?
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has been
very emphatic, but at no time has no
boon as extreme In his declarations
as this distinguished, conservative
Now Yorker now seems to be. To
whom did he refer in his dcnuncia-
ton? We fear that we are reaching
the parting Of tho ways" where
open revolution will lift it's head and
all of the horrors Of the French rev.
olution will burst forth in this coun-
try.
This week, the United States Sem
ate has decided by vote to commnn-
deer wealth, to make tho wealthy
people pay tho expenses of the war,
while releasing the people, the labor
, ing people from their proportionato
/ share Of this responsibility. This is
| socialism in its essence. It Is tho
! exercise Of the power of tho masses
against the classes, 1t Is tho direct
result Of placing great responsible
ties in the hands of men, who have
neither the experience nor knowledge
to handle great questions.
The Department Of Justice Is now
. IN the business OF establishing an
Fcspionage system that Is annoying as
it Is embarrassing. But what does
Hon. Elihu Roots statements mean?
Is 1t possible that great events, about
which the masses of tho American
people are uniformed have already
happened or are happening? Does it
indicate that the mission to Russia
was failure? Are the Constitution
al provisions NOW still effective? Is
1t possible that crimes against the
government are being committed and
that after period OF more than one
: hundred years, no statutes have been
enacted that can reach those Of which
complaint Is now made?
We must admit that we are puzzled
and Mr.. Roots outburst of passion
would seem that n proclamation sus-
pending the constitutional guarantees
should be made by President Wilson
in order that just punishment might

LONG RECORD BROKEN.

The long record held by the State
OF Virginia as a non-lynching COM
monwealth has been broken and 1t Is
now alleged that William Pare.
colored, was lynched by a mob at
Lillian, Va, Wednesday night, Au-
gust 10, 1917. The Virginia officials
had no opportunity to prevent this
violation Of the law. AS to what
will be done about it needs hardly to
be considered.
We have read the reports Of the
affair and we cannot understand how
William Page could have been guilty
Of attempted criminal assault unless
he was domented. To outrage q wo-
man with another yelling female in
the vicinity Is well-nigh an impossi-
bility and yet this is what Is alleged
to have been done.
The laws OF Virginia arc 80 framed
now that an attempted assault Is
punishable with death. Colored peo-
pie Of Virginia are practically unan-
imous In their opposition to the
amalgamation of tho races Still,
white men here In many instances
insist upon rehabilitation with the
lower type Of colored women.
The whole truth about this Page
affair has not been told. Certain 1t
Is that man Is crazy, be he black
or white, who would attempt to
criminally assault one female in the
presence of the other, while both are
violently protesting against the out
rage.
Colored folks know that the rapist
is as dangerous to colored folks as
to white ones and they will serve on
a jury to land him In All electric chair
as quickly as white MEN would do
tho same thing, but they refuse to
believe that sane colored man would
be foolish enough to be guilty Of the
crime with which Page was charged
under such conditions as are alleged
to have existed at tho time that he
was charged with attempting to COM
nit the most grievous crime known
to criminal Jurisprudence.
The matter should be probed to the
bottom and the men, who committed
murder in executing him should be
made to feel the full effect Of the
law. Lynch-lnw must go!

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

A young mans horse was unhar-
messed at the home of young lady
recently. 1t is believed to be tho
work Of jealous sutton. Fortunate
ly he was much better than his
contemporaries, who cut the harness
and unscrewed all taps.
Three young ladies of this neigh
horhood were much frightened last
Saturday night. One was sent to a
neighbours house on an GRAND. The
others persuaded her and she went to
nearby store. After purchasing
their Sundays supply. they started
back. They had reached the church
when the noticed white object
ahead. The object, according to the
ladies, disappeared at the church
door. But one thing Is certain, the
ladies disappeared at rapid gait
and no doubt would BIO going now IF
they had not met a young man half
a mile away, who stopped them. After
reaching their first destination, two
men and walking cane were neces-
sary to escort them home. Later
investigation proved that the white
object was simply dog.

This takes place in Ohio. In tho

this Is ono Of the rewards that great
