1he feed Of the muskrat consists Of
grasses, apples, bark of trees, water
plants, carrots, turnips, cabbage and

Although millions OF these brown
colored rats are trapped each year for
their fur, the number does not seem
to decrease. When the fur is made In

One Of the ways OF trapping the
muskrat Is to set a trap three or four
inches below the surface OF water In
a place where he has been in the habit
of leaving the water. In this way he
will step into the trap as he under

Experience of Evelyn Nesbit in the
Special Picture, Her Mistake"
at the Temple Today
There is no woman whose activities
on stage and screen have earned her
more sincere praise or given her a
greater popularity than Evelyn Mes
bit. AS a result the announcement Of
the presentation at the Temple the
ater this evening of "Her Mistake"
her latest and unquestionably great
est success. should be warmly welcom-
ed by all local. film patrons. Miss Mes
bits commanding beauty and her un-
usual acting ability, both are display
ed to their greatest possible advant-
age in this new picture. And the ex-
traordinary interest which its coming
might be expected to arouse VIII be
even more greatly enhanced by the
knowledge that Russell Thaw, the
stars gifted young son, who appear
ed with her to such great advantage
in Redemption" is also prominently
cast in this new production. Lois
Meredith, Charles Wellesley and Eu-
gene Strong are a few of the many
other eminent film players included In
the supporting company.
"Her Mistake" was created espee-
tally for portrayal by Miss Nesbit. 1t
is an unusual story which not only
gives her great opportunity for the
display of her histrionic versatility
and emotional acting power, but pro-
vides legitimate reason for the dis
closure of wardrobe of wonderful
gowns. Early in the play she is seen
as a simple, unsophisticated country
maiden whose familiar costume is q
gingham aphon. Later as the wife of
wealthy young city man she wears
some marvelouse modiste's creations.

that both white and negro brutes will
they cease to make assaults upon
women, and not before. Those who
seem to be so bitterly opposed to the
summary Execution of these brutal
assailants of innocent and defense
less girls and women, with great unc-
tion say: "Let the law take. its
course" What does this mean? 1t
means that the brute is to be incar-
cerated in a Jail and fed and fattened
for several months, and when the
trial is held, the wretched victim of
the hellish lust of the inhuman scoun..
drel, must appear and detail all the
shocking facts and circumstances of
her shame and degradation in the
presence of the gaping crowd assem-
bled in the court room. To any re-
fined, innocent, virtuous woman, death
ing through such an ordeal as this.
When your organization is SO solici-
tous of these brutal, beastial Great
ures, do you not think it would be well
to not waste all your sympathies on
them, but rather to give a little
thought to the pure young girl or the
virtuous young wife and mother who
has fallen a victim to the hellish lust
of the beast? These victims have suf-
fered more than a thousand deaths,
and their families have suffered with
them. A mad-dog or rattlesnake is
shot down on sight, and how much
better is the rape demon than the
mad-dog or the rattlesnake?
While, as / have said, have never
taken part or even witnessed a lynch
ing, am quite sure that in the South
they have always got the right man,
and the swiftness and certainty of
punishment has undoubtedly deferred
other brutes from the commission of
this crime. Right here at the very
doors of the capitol, three white
women, according to the city press,
have been ravished by a negro brute,
or brutes, within the past two weeks
and the criminal or criminals, are still
at large. The victims, robbed of vir-
tue, suffering the tortures of the
damned, with their lives forever
brighted, while this brutal beast still
travels the public highways seeking
to satiate his infamous lust. In this
community where they ''let the law
take its course" innocence and virtue
are PROSTATE at the feet of the hell
born lust of the beast, while the Of
ficers of the law are all busily engag-
ed in an united effort to see to it that
no contraabnd whisky invades the
sacred precincts of the capitol.
/ sincerely trust that your organi-
zation and others may turn your at
tention towards lessening the need
for summary punishment. Let us not
forget the victim when we are deplor-
irg the fate of the rapist.
Yours very truly,

Whole shiploads of honey have been
sent TO Europe, and more is wanted.
Few people realize that 10000 900
pounds Of honey are produced in the
United States alone each year. Yet
the department OF agriculture says
that the output ought TO be much
greater, and that millions Of dollars
worth Of sweets annually are going TO
waste in the fields for lack OF bees
to gather the nectar. When the con-
sumner pays twice as much for a comb
of honey as he did a few years ago
he feels disposed to buy q stand Of
bees himself.

attack by negroes on white women
during the last four weeks on the
streets of the nations capital was re-

CLARK'S REPLY
TO COMP PERS
Called the Attention of the Federation
of Labor to the Fact that 1t is Sym
pathizing with the Criminals and
Not With the Victims.
(By Will F. Kennedy

Washington, July 17.-Resenting
as a blow at the South circular let
ter from Sam Gompers to members of
Congress emphasizing the American
Federation of Labor's Opposition to
mob rule and lynching1 as expressed
IN a resolution adopted at the 39th
annual convention, Congressman
Frank Clark of Gainesville, Fla, has
written a peppery reply to Mr.. Com
pers.
Congressman Clark calls attention
to the fact that in the national cap1-
tai recently three patriotic young
white women doing war work have
been "ravished by negro brutes who
are still at large" He says that lynch
ings in the South have been in de-
fense of virtuous womanhood, that
punishment to brutes has been swift
and that 'in the South they have all
ways got the right man" and that the
certainty of summary punishment
has undoubtedly deferred other brutes
from the commission of this crime"
Praised the Law-Abiding Negro
He suggests to Mr.. Gompers ps1--o
forget the vietim when deploring the
fate of the rapist. At the same time
he Iays a tribute to the Industrious
and Iaw-abiding negroes in the South
who are accommodating property, edu-
eating their children and content if
only let alone by agitators who know
nothing of conditions, or whose hatred
of the South inspires them to create
trouble His reply and the letter from
Mr.. Gompers that aroused his ire are

nation, Honorable Woodrow Wilson,

Respectfully yours,
Sam Gompers,
President A. F. of L.
Washington, July 7th.



Mr. Samuel Gompers, President Am
erican Federation of Labor, Wash
ington, ID. c.:
My dear Sir: Am just in receipt of
yeur favor of the 7th instant, cover
ing copy of resolution adopted by the
American Federation of Labor in its
39th convention, lately held, which
you state is expressive of the senti-
ments of the organized labor move
ment of America in opposition to mob
rule and lynching."
OF course, all good citizens every
where are, and should be, opposed to
"mob rule lynching" and should exert
every possible effort for the punish
ment of crime through the ordinary
legal channels and the orderly admin
istration of justice. Good citizens of
every section of the country will un-
doubtedly agree that this course Is
the ideal one under a government
such as ours. But my dear sir, have
you ever thought that if organizations
Of people who are constantly passing
resolutions condemnatory of lynch
ings and denouncing as barbaric and
uncivilized communities in which they
sometimes occur, would devote mod
est portion of their time in efforts to
get the inhuman brutes who commit
the usual crime which incites the peo~
pie to take the law into their own
hands, it might result in lessening the
tendency to "mob rulel and lynching." !"
Of course, the resolutions are aimed
at the South, although it is not so
stated in specific language. | am a
southern man, nearly sixty years of
age, and have lived in the South all
of my life. know conditions in the
southern states, and know the negro
fully as well as any living man of my
age. I not only have never particf-
pated in a lynching, but / never wit
messed one in all my life and sincere
| ly trust | never may. Brutes. both
white and black, are sometimes lynch
ed in the South, but they are gener-
ally thus disposed of for assaults on
women, such as | believe, on three
distinct occasions, have been commit
ted within the past few days almost
within the shadow of the national cap
ital. However, the record will not
show that any white man, or negro
man either, has ever been lynched or
shot down like dog in the South be-
cause he wanted work, as negroes
were shot down in East st. Louis, in
the state of Illinois, few few short
years ago. The negro in the South is
privileged under the law to work out
his destiny, as fully enjoying all his
legal rights as does the white man,
and the Industrious and law-abiding
among them are accommodating prop
erty, educating their children with
funds mostly raised by taxation of
the property of white people, and are
content, if only let alone by agitators
who either know nothing of condi-
tions, or whose hatred of the South
inspires them to create trouble. The
men of no country, or section of coun-
try, in my opinion, are worth a
"rinker's damn" If they do not re-
spect and protect at any and all haz-
ards the virtue and chastity of their
wemen, and my humble judgment is
