dangerous citizen. It is the duty of the
machinery of the law to ferret out those
guilty of crime, and bring them to the bar
OF justice, but it is pettyfogging, expen-
sive and ridiculous to attempt such on a
beclouded suspicion. If Main had have
been single man there might have been
some grounds for believing he killed
Swayne, if there were any truth in one
of the contentious of the prosecuting at
t" rev 70 The efe"t that improper relations
existed between Mrs. Swayen and Oscar
Main, but he was married man and so far
as the public is aware absolutely devoted to
his wife and children, and the death of
Swayne would get him no closer the goal
than before. Looking at it from any angle,
there could seem to be no motive for Main
to kill his friend and the suspicion, as we
see it, was not remotely discriminating. yea
if even suspicion at all, and for these rea-
sons we are at complete loss to see how
any man with ordinary sense would do as
did Prosecutor Allen. This is written from
an unbiased standpoint, we not even know
ing Prosecutor Allen, and but passingly
knowing Oscar Main. And moralizing for
moment we are thoroughly convinced
that one of the troubles of this land and
country is too much lawyer. If lawyer
can by some camouflage humbug the pub
lie and get it to thinking he or she is a
great expounder of the law then the dam
phools who go to court with matters they
should either settle between themselves or
submit their contentious to some level

tions in the courts for the good of the

Just how it can be expected Of col

part as badly as are the colored folks in this
country, we do not doubt for a moment
but that the United States government
would not only openly denounce the Brit

Think about an Irishman being burned at

those things are done almost daily to
the colored folks of this country and we
are fighting Germany to "make the world

us to quote, Consistency, thou art

OSCAR MAINS ACQUITTAL

The suspicion Of having murdered his
friend, on which Oscar R. Main was ar
rested, subsequently tried for the crime
and propmtly acquitted by jury of his
peers, seems to have only been camou-
flage set up by the prosecuting attorney
OF Chehalis county for the purpose of de-
tracing public attention from himself long
enough at least for him to fly to fame
and perhaps later on to fortune. In caus-
ing Mains arrest for the Napavine murder
Prosecutor Allen was either fool or
knave, that is, judging from the evidence
as reported by the daily press. We do
not mean to say that Main did not kill
Swayne, the verdict Of the jury to the
contrary, notwithstanding, but if he did
1t is his secret. Whether he did or did
not commit the crime the prosecuting at,
torney had neither evidence or suspicious
evidence, in his hands, as we see it.
and II he proceeded against Main in
good faith, with no more evidence than he
produced at the trial then, in our opinion.
ne was a fool If his actions against Main
were prompted for selfish motives, in the
hope OF real or imaginary grievances against
Oscar or anyone close to him, or if after
the murder had been committed he thought
ne saw an opportunity to spring into i'm
mortal fame by surreptitiously fastening
the CRIME onto the nearest man to the
scene OF the same, and Main being the
fall guy then Prosecutor Allen is a
knave, and not only knave but dis
grace to the legal profession and likewise

LABOR IN CONTROL

AT it's recent municipal election Seattle
got rid of Gillism, turned down organized
labors candidate for mayor, and at the
same time elected three members to the
city council who are practically pledged
to carry out the policies of the organized
labor leaders of the city, The council
at present constituted is now under the
control of the labor leaders and hereafter
no ordinance or resolution Of any kind is
likely to be adopted which does not first
receive the approval of the Central Labor
council: The people turned down for the
council Will H. Hanna, the only member
of the body who refused to bow to the
demands Of the walking delegate. The
particular objection to him was that he
voted against jitneys that did not afford
insurance protection to the public. While
Seattle got an organized labor council, it
refused to accept labor's candidate, Mr..
Bradford, for mayor. Hanson, however,
while repudiatng the local walking dele
gates, has always played for the support
of labor and owes his election to the fact
rhat he was able to somewhat divide the la
Dor vote. The one deduction to be made
from the results Of the recent election is
that organized labor is gradually getting
the municipal machinery of Seattle under
it's control.-The (Tacoma) Forum.

MOONEY AND THE NEGRO

Mooney must not die, floats down from
the White House, and the refrain is caught
up by the great daily press of the coun-
try, as well as by the conservative citi-
zens, and, whether guilty or innocent, we,
too, truly hope he will not die on the gal
lows. Some one says, "The Mooney case
is titantic struggle between capital and
labor 'and it must be or the President
and the press would not be seeking a COM
promise in the shape of life imprisonment
for Mooney instead Of death. To hang
Mooney, the President knows, would

press, the pulpit and the great mass of
white people in the United States are all
totally Indifferent concerning the brutal
and barbarous treatment that is daily ad-
ministered to the colored citizens of this
country. The lynching, the burning at
stake, the wilful shooting and the thou
sands of mock trials which send them to
either the gallows or to prison, move the
white citizens not, and yet if one black
man is heard to utter one word or SEN
tence that might be contorted into unpa-
triot;sm he is arrested, tried and convicted
for sedition. But few days ago black
man was burned at the stake on the sus-
picion that he had killed white man and
as we write this dispatch lies before us
telling of five colored men who were shot
to death in Louisiana by 300 armed white
men on the suspicion that they had killed
a nnmher Of hogs belonging to white far

make dead men rise up in their graves and
denounce the perpetrators in such manner
as would shake the great white throne of

tic mountains and in region
OF the earth over which some of the
earliest people trod. Only 80 miles
from the country's capital of today lie
the ruins of Tiahuanacu, universally
conceded to be among mans most an

surrounding Bolivia's unique capital is
so hoary with age that a mans imagi-
native brain is puzzled in attempting
to conjecture the era of prehistoric
construction, says William A. Reid in
the Bulletin of the Pan American
Union.
Scientists further tell us that once

scarcely more than half as elevated
as today, and that in lands where Bo-

geological ages, we find the Bolivian
plateau at too great an elevation to-

crops, but a region of the earth law
ishly endowed by nature with almost
every variety of mineral. 1t is near
what might be termed the heart of
this mineral plateau, an area Of $4,000
square miles, that Bolivia's modern
capital has grown to be d fourishing
city of $4,000 people.
La Paz de AyacuchO, to use the full
name adopted after the country at
tanned its independence proclaimed
Aug. 6, 1925, is not only unique in its
ancient surroundings, but the city lies
so completely hidden in an enormous
canyon or vent in the plateau that in
journeying thither we come very sud

railways leading thither the sides of
the canyon appear to be almost per-
pendicular; yet engineering skill has
marvelously wound two railroads down
these precipitous sides, presenting at
every turn gorgeous panorama. The
clear, crisp air, the mineral cOlOrings
of the mountain sides, the red tile
roofs and the bright shades Of the
houses in the distance, the green
patches of trees here and there, the
flowing riyulets and larger streams,
the snow-covered peaks, together with
the gay colors always worn by the
humber natives, combine to form
pleasing and lasting picture.
Ell Alto, a term used to designate
the little railroad station near the
edge of the canyon. stands as already
noted about 1900 feet above the city,
while the latter is 12,700 feet higher

miles from the Pacific, we can form
an idea of the steep climb made by
the railways in order to reach this In

suppIanted suere as Capital.

We speak of La Paz as being the
capital of Bolivia and thereby confuse
the minds of those not fully acquaint-
ed with the facts. Sucre, formerly
called Charcas, is the legal capital of
the republic, but largely on account of
accessibility and growing commercial
importance La Paz became the actual
seat of government more than 20 years
ago. In the latter city the president
and his official advisers reside, the ma
tons congress meets there, and it is
the residence of the foreign diplomats
accredited to Bolivia but the supreme
court of the country still holds its ses-
sions at Sucre. The distance between
the two cities is about 300 miles; but
the more rapid growth of La Paz, es-
pecially since the completion of the
three rail routes to the Pacific, seems
to accentuate the Instability Of La
Paz over Sucre as the capital Of the
nation.
