BOLDNESS OF GOV. STANLEY.

From the Montgomery Advertiser. }
Hon. A. o, Stanley, of Kentucky, is
the right kind of governor a. the right
time. The holiness and promptness
with which he quelled mob bent
on lynching negro who had killed
former policeman are bound to add
tc the reputation of the distinguish
ed chief executive of Kentucky. Peo-
pie admire a bold, determined man.
Hang the governor of the common
wealth first. and then wreak Veng'
eance on the negro later" was the
spirit in which the governor rushed
out of Louisville to to Murray, Ky.
Once face to face with the mob, tho
governor demanded respect for the
law and denounced the crime Of moo
violence. The 3O0-pound figure of
Governor Stanley must have made its
impression upon the mob One of its
leaders, a brother of the slain white
man, stepped forward and asked the
other men to heed the governors
words, and the mob subsidized
The governor endeavored to find
company of militia to send to
Murray, but learned that every Ken
lucky company was on the border.
The governor would, therefore, have
been helpless in face of men bent on
mischief but for the power of per
scnality and a show of earnestness.
When the official spokesman Of org
anized society protests against law
lessness, the effect of the spectacle
usually is to achieve it's purpose.
Alert and aggressive governors can
reduce lynching to a minimum in any
state where the governor makes the
experiment. An aggressive policy on
the part of Alabama governors has
done that in this state. In several
other states Of the South the right
kind of governors have been able to
improve the lynching srecord of their
states. This experiment ought to be
tried in Georgia and Texas.

"AMERICA FIRST"
CAMPAIGN STARTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-The
| United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, DR.. P. P. Claxton, has issued a
call for an America First" conference
| to be held on February 3rd Immediately
following the annual meeting of thu
Chamber of Commerce of the United
! States of America. This conference
will deal with the industrial phase of
experimentation and will be the first OF
a series of America First" conference
es to be known officially as the ma
tional Conferences on Americanization
through Education
| The conference on February Bird, will
be under the auspices of the Bureau Of
Education in the Department of the In
terror, acting in cooperation with the
National Committee of One Hundred
This committee was appointed by the
Commissioner of Education on Septem-
Der LIST, 1916. to assist the Bureau in
conducting the America First" Cam
paign. The Committee on immigration
| OF the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States of America will also
participate in the program.
The recorded cooperation of hun
dreds OF industrial establishments and
chambers of commerce in the Amer
lea First" Campaign has brought into
the foreground the demand for a def
, mite plan of Americanization by indus
tries and commercial organizations
For some months tentative plan has
been in process OF formation in a ser
ics of consultations between Bureau Of
! fcials and the immigration Committee
( of the Chamber of Commerce.
; The bearing of this conference upon
| education and industry is significant.
1t will bring into practical relation
employers and educators. This is eff
fected by the nature of the call for the
conference. Those invited include Of
fcials of chambers of commerce, plant
welfare directors, representatives Of
labor and immigration departments
and commissions, and school author
tiles.
Each session of the conference will
be opened with an address and then
conducted as round-table discussion
Of various questions printed in the
program and relating to a national
policy of Americanization.
Owing to the gorwing interest of
industrial men in the subject, it is ex-
pected that many delegates and others
attending the annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States will remain over for the Amer
lea First" Campaign conference.
Succeeding conferences will appeal
to various other organizations, groups,
and individuals interested in general
features of Americanization.

THE "DRY BONE" LAW.

sembly which would be composed or
virtually the same men who passed
the act of 1915, effective on May LIST,
which gave Georgia her first strong
prohibition law. The prohibitionists
of the state are not willing to take
chances on the next general assembly,
especially with a change Of COVER
nors.
Governor Harris has displayed his
courage in the matter of liquor ques-
tion-he is tried and true to the
cause. We believe that the next gen.
eral assembly will be Overwhelmingly
III favor of prohibition, although in
some quarters there seemed to have
been signs in the last election that
the -prohibitionists were attempt
ing to marshal greater strength
The prohibitionists of the state
should consider one question at this
juncture. If they feel that the major
ity of the people are safely in favor
of prohibition in it's most drastic form
then any move they may make would
be all right Buff by any chance
there may materialize a reaction from
a very drastic law, then this should
be taken into consideration.
The Times Recorder feels that a
menace confronts the people in the
matter of liquor and it's correlated
forces. We are in favor of prohibition
in every form-to make it prohibitive
in every form and have punishment
meted out in that proportion which
the offense demands.
And, while the general assembly may
consider the prohibition question they
should take into consideration every
phase, especially those features which
affect the enforcement of the law. 1t
seems to have been the experience in
some sections where violations pass
almost unnoticed, and in case of in
dictment the charges are settled by
payments OF costs and by paying Of
small fines.
A person who sells liquor and
otherwise violates the prohibition law
has less excuse than most any other
miscreant The sale of liquor is ac-
complished by malice aforethought--
there is no heat of passion" in the
breaking of this law. The person who
manufactures the spirituous COM
pounds does so with a full recognition
of the law, and deserves less sym
patty than in cases where other laws
are disregarded.
Liquor has been consigned by
science to a place of harm, rather
than necessity. There was time when
person demanded liquor because no
one considered it wrong. The old ar
gument of the open-saloon as a neces-
sity for commercial reasons, is gone.
The general assembly of Georgia
may pass prohibition laws one after
another. but unless there are citizens
in the jury box who would dare dc
their duty. then it is no consequence.
The same can be said of officials of
the court.
1t seems to lis that Georgia through.
out its length and breadth needs a
: holesale education as to the duties
Of citizenship. Things are coming to
pretty sad state of affairs.

DEATH PENALTY ASKED
Two Hundred Draft Reslsters Under
Arrest In Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. O.
Without waiting for a conclusion OF
the states campaign against organ :
lied resistance to the seective draft
in central Oklahoma, the United
States government moved to punish
the 200 men under arrest in connec-
tion with armed opposition to mill
tary service.
Warrants charging treason were
served on the prisoners, who were
held to await trial, at which United
States District Attorney McGinnis will
ask that the death penalty be i'm
posed.
Announcement that extreme pun
ishment would be asked was expected
to aid materially in bringing to terms
the few resisters still sheltered in the
hills. Posses in three counties re-
ported that isolated groups refused to
surrender. but that they apparently
were discouraged and seeking to
avoid an encounter.
Clashes between the resisters and
posses have cost three lives and nu
merous injuries.

of the same material, the latter with
the letters II. c." set in wreath
as an ornament, with similar insig-

Officers would be distinguished by
shoulder loops with one, two or three
circles, designating second and first
lieutenants and captain, respectively,
and a similar series Of diamonds for

no front wis there fighting on large
scale yesterday.

British airmen took the air Mon

reported missing.
Lens, the coal centre north OF Ar

Apparently the Russians are holding
intact their line north OF the Dnies-

Russians, fighting vigorously, are re-
