FIRED ON AMERICAN
LEGION, i've DEAD
Mob Lynches Leader Of |. ". w
Snipers at Centralia, Nash.-A
Confession by One CAPTURED
Reveals the Plot.


Centralia, Wash, Nov ~ Arrival
Of company Of state guard here to-
day assured this little city Of quiet
after nearly twelve hours Of disorder,
in which five men lost their lives.
Three of them, members Of the Amer
lean Legion, were shot down yester-
day afternoon as the Armistice Day
parade, Of which they were part, pass
ed in front of the |. w. w. headquar-
ters. Another, also a member of the
legion, suffered fatal wounds in at
tempting to apprehend one of those
said to have done the firing, while the
fifth, Brit Smith, secretary of the
local branch of the Industrial Work
ers, was hanged by mob.
The guardsmen found the town pa
trolled by the local members of the
American Legion when they arrived,
while nearly 500 others from nearby
towns were in reserve. The legioners
placed themselves at the disposal of
the town police chief, who has but
four paid men under him, immediate
ly after the attack on their parade.
Radicals Rounded Up.
In the group, some increased in
size by civilians, they secured the
town yesterday afternoon and last
night for men suspected of belonging
to the radical order, or of participat-
ing in the attack on the parade. 9th
ers patrolled the grounds about the
jail Whether they were on duty
there at the time the mob broke in and
removed Smith from an unlocked cell
is disputed point Some Centralians
declare the former service men were
not there, the police assert they were.
The clash came as the head of the
parade swung into the street before
the Industrial Workers headquarters.
0niookefs said bursts of fire came
from the windows Of that building.
from a hotel across the street and
from the roofs of nearby buildings.
The reason for this has not been de-
veloped fully, but Herman Allen, an
attorney and members of a committee
or former service men, and others CO.
operating with the authorities inves-
tigating the affair said late last night
that evidence had been secured that
it was premeditated
Confession Reveals Plot.
Allen said Jaffes Lamb, one of the
20 men taken into custody yesterday,
had confessed plans had been made
months ago to "get" Warren Grimm
and Arthur Mackelfresh. two of those
killed yesterday, and William Schales
and Captain David Livingston. All
have been active in efforts to suppress
alleged radical activities in this COM
munity. Captain Livingston led yes
terday's parade. Mr.. Allen declared
that kilograms taken from the pock
cts of Britt Smith supported Lambs
account OF radical activities and plans
From Seattle came information that
ii was believed, largely as result Of
an article printed in Seattle labor or
gan, that the attack was a result of a
campaign inaugurated by Centralia
business men to rid the city of radi-
Gals.

Negro Labor Get More Than Teacherl

Arkansas school teachers were
among the first to call attention to
the inadequate salaries for which they
have always been forced to do their
work, and they are among the last to
get recognition.
For several years there has been a
tendency toward an increased wage
for teachers, and substantial advances
have been made But salaries as a
rule are still out Of proportion to the
pay for the most ordinary kind of
manual labor. Negro common labor
ers are getting 40 cents an hour,
which is more than the ordinary
teacher gets, and the teacher has only
nine months year to work 1t is
without doubt the poorest paid pro-
fession of all
The necessity for readjustment
of the salary scale for teachers, if the
profession is to be maintained on a
high plane and improve the grade of
teachers, was plainly brought out in
the recent session of the Arkansas
Teachers Association.
Arkansas is not particularly worse
than many other states, but the con-
ditions are such that the teacher must
be paid an amount commensurate
with the ability required. or he will
seek other fields of employment, as
thousands are doing every year
It has long been Recognized that
teaching is an expedience rather than
a profession. 1t must be raised to the
plane of an independent profession if
it is to be given that place in the So
cial economy its importance so richly
deserves.

"To stick like limpet," is an old
saying, but few people know how
it is that limpet is able to stick as
it does to the rocks upon which it
passes it's existence. The creature
is able by means Of the central por-
ton of it's body, which can be raised
independently Of the edge or frill
which surrounds it, to create vac
uum, much in the same way that a
piece of soft wet leather can be
made to adhere to smooth surface
by pressing out all the air. If taken
by surprise with smart sidelong
blow, even large limpet is easily
enough dislodged, but, given the
slightest warning, its power of sue
ton is instantly brought into play
and very often considerable force is
then necessary to detach it.

PLANS TAKE SHAPE
FOR END OF DRAMA.
Ceremony at Versailles Expected to
Last Ninety Minutes.-Republi-
can Guard Present.

Versailles, June 22.-Arrange-
ments already have begun to take
shape at Versailles for the signing of
the peace treaty. Orders have been
given to have everything in readiness
Tuesday, although the ceremony ac-
cording to the Havas agency, is not
likely to occur before Thursday at
the earliest.
4; The famous gallery Of mirrors has
received it's final furnishings. The
carpets have been laid and the orna-
mental table with it's 18th century
gilt and bronze decorations has been
placed in position on the dais where
the plenipotentiaries will be seated.
| There will be room for 400 invited
persons at the historic session. They
will be given places in the left wing
of the hall of mirrors, while the right
wing will be occupied by about the
same number of press representa-
tives. Sixty seats have been allotted
to the French press.
The program of arrangements, as
far as they have been settled, were
! Submitted to Premier Clemenceau to-
day.
The court of honor has been clear
ed of captured guns. Three regl-
ments of infantry and five of cavalry
will be on duty at the time OF the
signing of the treaty. Republican
Guards in gala uniforms will render
the honors. They will be stationed
on the grand staircase by which the
plenipotentiaries enter the hall.
According to the Havas Agency,
diplomatic relations with Germany
will not be resumed Immediately on
the signing Of the treaty but only
after it's ratification. This also ap-
plies to the admission of German
subjects into France.
Fronting M. Clemenceau's presl-
Dental chair will be placed small
table on which the diplomatic instru-
ments will be laid. 1t will be to this
table that each representative is
called in alphabetical order to sign
his name to the treaty and afflx to
it his government seal. AS there are
100 delegates the ceremony is ex-
pected to take at least 80 minutes.
! It is as yet uncertain whether NJ.
Clemenceau will make speech. 1t
is considered as not unlikely that the
Germans will raise last protest at
the moment of signing.

C. C: Featherstone in Southern
Christian Advocate.
Gratitude is not put down as one
of the Beatitudes, but I have often
thought that it was worthy of being
classed with the greatest of human
virtues.
It is fine when expressed in words,
but finer still when shown in con-
duct.
David's treatment Of Mephibos-
heth, Jonathan's crippled boy, is one
of the prettiest and most touching
incidents in the whole Bible.
David and Jonathan were friends
not only in prosperity, but in ad-
versity - Johnathan's Fatehr, the
king, showed David many kindnesses
and later, did him many injuries.
Disaster, well dserved, overlook
Saul and his family. Fortune smiled
upon David. He became king. What
more natural than that he should
have remembered the injuries re-
ceived at the hands of Saul and ex-
hibited no concern as to what be-
came of his descendants.
But in the 9th chapter of Second
Samuel, we find David inquiring:
"And 3fyid said, is tt there ere; any s,eh sna5 t
NAV show him kindness for Jona-
than's sake?"
David was told, Jonathan hath
vet son, which is lame on his feet. .
l,ephibosheth, the lame boy was
brought before David and David said
unto him: "Fear not, for l will show
thee kindness for Jonathan thy Fa-
theirs sake, and will restore thee all
the land of Saul, thy father; and
thou shalt eat bread at my table con-
tinually."
What a beautiful picture! David
the king, recollecting the outcast,
afflicted boy of his friend, and heap
ing kindness upon him!
Mind you, he did not say, II am
sorry for you, my boy, your
father was my friend, but your
grandfather did me injury. l forget
the friendship and recollect the in
Jury, l can do nothing for YOU"
Nor did he say, "Your father and
I were good friends, l am glad te
see you. I wish you WE'LL" anc
thus dismiss him with mere express
sion of gratitude. He expressed his
gratitude in a substantial way.
/ What is friendship worth, any
way? Is it mere idle word that we
take upon our lips and then dis
miss? Or is it something broader
and deeper and better than mere
sickly sentimentality - something
that brightens and strengthens ou1
