We want to endorse Mr.. Taylor in

Every attempt made by organized

The proprietors to treat with the

MEMPHIS LYNCHING. - There
have been so many articles appearing
in the newspapers recently concern
ing the brutal Teutons that I had
started to believe that the TeutOns
we're really worse than the tender
hearted Yankees. However, the
CHASTITY spectacle at Memphis, Tenn,
brought a different angle to my
senses.
These people sunk to a depth low
er than any barbariC creatures on
the face of this earth ever sunk when
they put two men to death in man
ner so heIishly fiendish that even
Satan Cif he exists) must have stood
aghast. It was said Eli Perkins con-
fessed to killing AntOinette Rappal,
Young school girl, in most brutal
manner. Perhaps he did; we are in
no position to say any more than are
those who took his life. But we are
in a position to say that if he did, he
should have received the full punish
ment of the law-we say law, not
mob rule.
Think of several thousand Amer-
can people in a large southern city
leaving their offices, shops, stores
and homes in automobiles and other
conveyances for no other purpose
than to feast on the agOnies Of a

GARDEN PARK PEOPLE
FIGHTlMG LOCATION OF
PRISON FARM THERE

The forty or more families OF Gar
posed location of the prison farm In
their locality. They have signed n
petition to the legislature and the gov
ernor setting forth their objections
to the location OF the farm on Gar
den Park. Mr.. Frank Higgins. prom
inent ranch owner on the park in
talking Of the proposed plan said this
morning:
"A proposition is now before the
Legislature in the shape Of bill. To-
eating the penitentiary farm on Gar
den Park by state purchase OF the
land. To this move the people of
the Park object strenuously because
II brings the conyicts In very close
proximity to them. In fact the tract
which it Is planned to purchase. not
only adjoins dozen farms but Ia
within few feet Of the Garden Park
school where all our children are
getting their education.
Most OF us have worked all the
years OF our lives to get what we
now possess. II is all that most of
us have in the world.
our money is in our land and the
minute penitentfary farm is located
there that land will depreciafe great
ly in value. Many Of us are still
homesteading and we couldn't sell out
and get away even II we wanted to
do so.
"One OF the necessities OF ranch
life Is that our women folks and cfsil.
dren must be left alone more or less
Of the time while the men are out
running cattle" Especially IL this
SO during the roundup seasons. We
don't like the prospect OF leaving our
women folks to the mercy OF the con-
victs and 1t would be hardship on
most OF us to hire help to be about
the house all Of the time to act az
sort Of guard--and that is what we
would be compelled TO do.

buy has been under lease 70 w. A.

of military age who failed to register
under the selective draft law would be
arrested after June 20 was sent to-day
by United States District Attorney
George w. Anderson TO Charles F. Get
temy, director of military enrolment.
Mr.. Anderson recently suggested to the
state authorities that further oppor-

reasonable excuses, to register.
"Since then" the District Attorney
said in a letter to Director Gettemy,
81 have received further advices from
Washington indicating desire to have
all non-registrants arrested on or be-
fore June 30. To accomplish this reg
istration should, think. cease on Mon

N.Y.Guard Lacks Only
1858 Men for War
Strength of 4l,476
Governor Believes Maximum
Will Be Enlisted by Mobil-
ization Day, July Is

Statistics made public yesterday
showed the present strength Of the
New York National Guard to be 1888
men. or only 1853 less than are neces-
sary to bring the Guard UP to full war
strength. Although no recruiting hg-
ures were given out, it was stated that
practically every regiment has made
gratifying Roadway in the recruiting
campaign. The total gain since war
strength recruiting began on May 10
is about 10000.
Governor Whitman believes the
Guard will have an approximate
strength of 10000 men when 1t is
modified into Federal service July 10.
The Governor in Albany yesterday said
the campaign for recruits had been
success and reflected great credit on
the state.
The lst Cavalry, the coast defence
commands, the 22d Engineers and the
1st Field Artillery are practically ali
recruited up TO war strength. Inc
various infantry regiments are now at
from 60 to 80 per cent of their maxi
mum strength.
There was a lul in all branches Of
recruiting throughout the city yester-
day. The Mayors Committee on Re-
cruiting issued an appeal to New York
to wake up" Men are not joining
the regular army fast enough" it
stated. Maybe they think the draft
will fill the regulars. It won't. The
regulars must have $500 volunteers
from this district by June 3O-277 men

which will proceed to designated
places throughout the city. AT each
stop, while the band plays martial
airs, the recruits will appeal to the
spectators to do their bit" and join
the ranks.
