MODS, LYNCHINGS AND FIRST
CLASS" CITIZENS.

The number of crimes, murders and
lynchings which have occurred recent
ly, have shocked the entire country.
These outrages not confined to any
one section of the country, have been
an indescribable disappointment. We
all expected, that somehow and in
someway, the great and commend
able, harmonious and successful ac-
tivities of the war would cure many
social ills and make others imposs-
IDLE. But, instead, as some one has
tersely stated, "hell has broke loose
uince the war.
"First class men of both races
are never found in rioting lynch
ing mob" has been said repeatedly.
The worst element in both races are
responsible. 1t would be nearer the
truth to say, that first class men are
seldom found in mob. There is,
however n certain crime committed
by negroes against white women
which arouses, and properly so, the
avenging anger of all men whatso-
ever, and under such conditions "first
class" citizens are found in the mob.
1t is time, nevertheless, that the
average mob and riot is melted and
prosecuted, not by the best, but the
worst, men in both races. Wholesale
denuciation of both races and sect
ions in which the mobs and riots
occur, is evidently unjust, and is never
INDUCED by wise and discriminating
people.
The best men in both races under
stand each other, and there is no
trouble between them. How to weed
out and get rid of the criminal
element is problem of long stand
ing, and it's solution does not seem
to be in sight.

The Sill Small Voice.

The little brooks go singing along
their shining way;
The rivers speak in deeper tones (;
like beat Of mutfled drum
The ocean surgcs thunder and toss
their mighty spray.
But the mountains stand immovable
-immovablc and dumb!
The trees have whispered secrets for
those who, listening, pass;
There's language of the flowers for
all who patient seek;
Myriads of tiny voices sound in the
waving grass,
But the mountains stand in silence
they may not, cannot speak.
All Nature seeks expression in tones
that rise and swell,
So sings the joyous human, so
growls the angry butte,
The wedding chimes at noontide, the
evening passing bell,
But the mountains stand and listen
their peaks and valleys mute.
Only to those who love them, the
mountains message send
Those who have left their shelter,
over the world to roam
To them, like strain of music, or
the urge of waiting friend,
The still small voice of the noun
tain whispers: "Come home!
come home!"

Tazewell's Y. NJ. c. A.
Communicated

Tazewell County is one of twenty
counties in which the "Y" hopes to
establish itself in beginning its eff
fort to organize the entire state.
Whether Tazewell is to be congrat-
ulated or mourned is realty doubt
full question at this time. A success
full Y without the interested support
of the young men is impossible, and
it's success or failure depends entire
ly upon getting that support, and that
upon the means employed to draw
the young men to it.
The "Y" in the army has demonst-
rated that it can get the interested
and enthusiastic support of young
men when the right methods are
used, and many efforts that failed in
civil life have proved the converse.

Dreams.
They wait until the little hours,
When all the world swings low,
TO drift into my quiet room
In endless ebD and flow;
| often thing of them by day,
Whether | will or no.
They call me from my narrow bed
To lofty vaultcd halls,
Where pavemcnts heave beneath my
feet
And blocks drop from the walls;
One tiny door-a world away
! reach, ere the rolf falls.
Or else they lead by wandering ways
To lands ! do not know
To lonely plains of ice and fire
Where dreadful monsters grow,
And shadowy armies march and
march
Forever, row on row.

A love-tryst would keep
In an old garden far away
Across the ocean deep
If could buy my dreams just once.

BREATHING FREEZER.

The news of President Wilson's I'M
provement and assurance of his ulti-
mate recovery was more than welcome
to the American people. Even the
possibility of his death at this time
created universal apprehension and
alarm. His death would have been an
international calamity. He should
have perhaps not made the tour of
the country which caused his col
lapse. However this may be, his re-
covery, which seems assured, is cause
for repoicing everywhere. His work
up to this point both in attempt and
accomplishment, is greater than that
OF any other living man. And his
work is not yet finished. His enemies
are doing what they can, Intentionally
or unintentionally, to hinder the final
contamination of the worlds hope of
universal peace. Even while his life
was threatened and his recovery still
In doubt, there were men in the
Senate who did not hesitate to de-
nounce him and his efforts.
"A man is immortal until his work
is done'.' The great Liberator will
live to see the work of his hands
completed.
Few men, more than he, deserves
to live, and none better prepared than
he to die. Woodrow Wilson belongs
to the world to which he has dedicat
ed his life, and the world will rejoice
that his recovery is assured.

CIVIL MEN PREFERRED.n

For Il successful Y. M. C. A. in

The above paragraph is taken from
the communication of "X. Y" pub
lished in another column. The ex-
pressions will CRATE on the ear of
the average reader. TO prefer "cvil

for morality and religion is far and
away from what one would expect in

christian organization. The slur at
pastors and amen-corner deacons and

DON'T CRITICISE.

A citizen remarked in our presence
recently. "This is the criticisngest
town ever knew" No doubt there
are other towns equally afflicted.
He went on to say, that there is
scarcely a man in town in any pro-
1ession or calling, high or low, that
somebody is not criticising and pick
ing to pieces. Particularly is this the
case where men have not constant
employment. Somehow we mistakingly
thing to be interesting, entertaining
and smart when some cutting or
slightning remark is made in crowd
erecting the character of fellow
man. Every man has his faults and
weakness, and the man loudest il,
p claiming the faults of others has
generally large share himself.
Truth is, the best men and women
seldom see and less frequently speak
OF, the faults of others.
They see the good in the worst
men, and shut their eyes (and their
mouths) to the bad in the best of
men. The man or woman who "never
has good word to say of anybody"
IS certain to have a bad "word to
say" about everybody.
II will set watch upon my lips,
that ! sin not with my tongue" If
you can't say something good and
helpful about your neighbors and
your fellow men, keep your foul
mouth shut.

THREE NIEHHRINGS
DEFY A BOROUGH
Woman With Revolver
Threatens to Shoot Work
men Removing Trees

Hanover, Pa, Oct. 1o.-A. D.
Mehring and his wife and son were
arrested yesterday for interfering
with and threatening workmen re-
moving trees from the street in
front of their dwelling. preparatory
TO laying an asphalt paving. Mrs.
Mehring had q revolver and defied
the men, threatening to shoot the
first one who touched q tree. Chief
of Police Jesse Crabbs was sum-
moned and stood guard for a short
time while the men proceeded in
cutting down the trees. AS soon as
the chief left the family began a
second attack on the workmen with
threats and vile language. When the
workmen returned to Carlisle street
after the noon hour Chief Crabbs
accompanied them with warrants for
the arrest of the Mehrings on charges
of surety of the peace. They were
hailed before Justice of the Peace Il.
r. Wilmer and gave bail for a hear
ing.
1t was ruled at a special meeting
of borough council that all trees and
poles outside the curb line were a
nuisance, and accordingly a decision
was made to remove them before the
laying of asphalt paving on Carlisle
street. The question of removing
the trees excited considerable dis
cussion among property holders and
when borough employees started work
the Mehrings met the men in open
defiance.

that he will return to her.
