THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

cursion into the field Of disorder.
may not be 10 peculiar or inexpli-
cable as 4 seems. Perhaps there
are other cities standing on the verge
Of Just such outbreaks. Perhaps this
comes about from the fact that thous-
ands upon thousands of people. but
especially young people, are not only
indifferent to trouble, but are actually
stirring It up. Perhaps we have an
element Of restlessness all through
this country which it is time to rec
ognize and discourage Perhaps there
are too m4ny young bloods, walking
around with chips on their shoulders.
Perhaps there is too persistent and
widespread thought that violence
is the best method by which to set
tie everything. Perhaps we are all
a little too sore. and too much in
clined to aggregate difficult situations.
Perhaps II there were moregeneral
disposition to avoid trouble, instead OF
provoking 1t, we should all feel a
little safer. Perhaps If somebody
had said one wise word at the psy-
Geological moment, instead Of throw
ing a brick, there wouldn't be so
many dead and dying in Chicago to-
day.

eve believe that we express the
opinion of the leading men and wo-
men OF this community when Ne
say that the Colored people Of the
District OF Columbia are not respon-
sibly for the deDlorable conditions
which nave existed during the past
week. We do not hesitate to any
that the responsibility for this unfor-
tunate riot lies primarily at the doors
OF the mob composed of white men
soldiers, sailors and Marines which
ran anuck through the streets Of
the National Capital, manning, In
Turing and killing innocent CoIored
citizens a week ago. The retaliation
which followed on the part OF the
Colo-ed people although to be de-
plored was, under circumstances, but
natural; but 1t Is now our wish now
to place blame or responsibility.
We seek only to point out the facts
that normal conditions have been
restored and that these normal con-
ditions have been brought about by
white and Colored citizens freely
couaseling together in the interest
Of law and order.

STAGE is SET FOR HELL
Says Chicago Minister Speaking at
Conference of Social Workers
on Modern Plays

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June G.
Flesh and the Devil, as exemplified
on the modern stage, are causes of
the unrest and discord of the present
day and will bring the downfall of
this nation unless checked, according
to the Rev. William Burgess of Chic
ago, director of the Illinois Vigilance
Association speaking Thursday at the
conference of social work.
"The modern stage is set for HE'LL
he said. "With few worthy and
notable exceptions of legitimate
drama the stage rceks with moral
filth and sensual exhibits, which
might make devils blush. Art, music,
beauty, gross and grotesque ugliness
are woven into scandalous revels, Ii
bells upon the name of dance or ballet.
mo hug step or wriggling mon
strosity is too strong for the stage Of
so-called burlesque and vaudeville.
They parade on the stage, over the
heads of men in their seats. The
chief attraction CT this class of shows
and of many of the more expensive
priced theatres is display .of semi
nudeness, employed chiefly as settings
for improper song, dialogue or action,
which is libel to call comedy"

Victor Berger condemns and con-
dones the bomb plotters in one
breath. He abhors anarchy; it is
the reverse of socialism. But he
tells the Anarchists that the policy
of this government leads to anarchy.
This is just what they want to hear.
By so much personal influence as he
may still possess, Mr.. Berger thus en-
courages the Anarchists cause. 1t
avails itself Of every handle to des-
truction, of spoken words as well as
bombs. To attack the cause and con-
done the crimes committed in its name
is to compromise with murder.-Bos-

BUILDING BOOM
Has New $4,000 Corporation to
Build Homes to Meet the Rapid
Business Growth

RICHFORD, June 6-Richford is
still living up to its reputation OF
being a live town.
The rapid growth of Richford's
manufacturing industries with its
consequent need of additional
families suggested to the Richford
Board of Trade the probable demand
for more homes. This active organ
cation has induced the business, pro
fessional, and manufacturing inter
ests of the town to organize Richford
Home Builders, Inc, for the pur-
pose Of building, renting, and selling
homes.
The new corporation has an auth
orized capital stock of $4,000, and
it's immediate intention is to build 25
homes.
The incorporators are George E.
Read, H. C. Comings, S. Carl Car
penter, Ralph M. Buck, H. A. Puffer,
and A. J. Livingston.
1t is the intention of this new
company to provide prospective and
present residents of Richford attrac-
tive homes at prices which could only
be obtained through large scale OPP
Grafton.
Richford has long been known as a
manufacturing center and it is evil
dent from this move that it intends
not only to furnish good schools,
churches, and general living condi-
tons, but also good homes, and pro-
vide for the expansion of its business
interests.
