MADISON

The arrest of John Thompson. for
merly of this village, on the charge
of embezzlement, came as a surprise
to many of his acquaintance in this
vicinity. Mr.. Thompson came to
Madison from Montreal in June, 1917,
to accept n position as accountant
for the Madison Wooden Company
and was a trusted employee until his
resignation last July, when he went
to suburb of Philadelphia to accept
position as resident manager of n
coal company. A large part of the al
legged discrepancies came through
the sale of cloth for which no trace
of the money paid for the same can
be found. Although experts have
heen at work on the books the entire
amount of the alleged discrepancy
has not as yet been aScertained but
it is estimated roughly at from $4,000
to $4,000. 1t was at first expected
that an officer would have to be sent
to PENNSYLVANIA for Thompson but
Il business trip took him to Boston
and then to Portland, where the de-
tective who was shadowing him
caused his arrest.

To Renew Complexion

and men admire. It's so easy to get an

The Rotarians

Augusta will again be honored
when she entertains the New Eng
land Rotary Clubs in autumn con-
clave next week. A city Of many
conventions. she has something to
look forward to in the coming OF
the Rotarians which will be out OF
the ordinary.
The fundamental conception OF
Rotary, that business and friendship
will mix, has been fully demonstrate
ed in the local club. and local peo-
ple have formed an idea of what this
means when extended to the whole
of New England. An organization
of business men. representing every
kind of business activity comes to-
sether in weekly meeting to dis
euss and help to direct the welfare Of
the home city, not entirely from the
standpoint of their own business in
terests. not in a spirit Of petty polit-
lcal wire pulling. but in broad
minded, fair and square spirit of in
teIligent citizenship that knows the
heart of it's own locality; such is the
Rotary Club.
The local club deserves the aid OF
every citizen TO make the conven-
ton a success and to show the visit
ing Rotarians that the Maine folks
are as hospitabie and as cordial as
any in New England.

Senator Williams on Lynehins.


Senator Williams Of Mississippi
made a defense Of lynching in the
Senate that amounted to a repudia-
ton Of law and an abrogation of the
right of trial by jury. He said:
Il will so in the pathways Of peace as
far as any mani would be willing to
arbitrate almost anything except out
y vSs on would Tde ~ him nas ss
criminal beyond the pale to the first
crowd that came to get him.
The conduct of that criminal at Oma,
ha deprived me of all inclination ana ana
crowd that. captured the criminal ana
punished the crime. Race Is greater
than law now and then and protection
of women transcends all law, human
and divine
The enormity of the crime is un-
questioned, whether committed by
black or white. but it has been shown
that lynchings occur with alarming
frequency and without actual proof of
the guilt of the accused. The right
of speedy and impartial trial is
fundamental to the law of English
speaking races.
Even III it were proven that a
negro were guilty, Senator Williams
proposal to turn him over to the first
crowd that could get him has too
savage and barbarous a tone to be
tolerated in the United S>.tes. To
condone the acts of the Omaha mob
is to degrade the United States Sem
ate and the decency of the American
people. Protection of women Goes
not transcend law, but is guaranteed
by law.
Senator Williams is willing to go
a long way in his statements when
he asserts that there is something
greater than Divine law. The same
God created both black men and
white men. The people of the South
have cause to feel as tney do against
the blacks, 10 doubt, but there is no
reason why they should exhibit such
savagery as the. did at Omaha. En-
dangeiin ing of a hundred lives and the
destruction OF a million and a half
dollars worth OF property is too great
Il price to pay for vengeance.
The South should find better way
to protect itself from negroes.
