RACE RIOTS

Chicago, next to Cairo. the
mecca of the southern negro, and
home Of the negro.loYine and
south hating Chicago Tribune,
his experienced a genuine race
riot this week. A score or
more whites and blacks have been
killed and hundreds wounded.
1t is estimated that there are
10000 negroes in Chicago,
nearly $4,000 of whom were drawn
there during the last three or four
years by the attractive wages ID
shops and factories engaged in
manufacturing war materials.
Many negroes have acquired pro-
perty in desirable neighborhoods
occupied BY the whites. This has
led to many minor clashes between.
.the,Eaees and in a number of In.
stances in recent months bombs.
have been explodedSin buildings
occupied by negroes.
The negroes are not given that
social recognition promised them
by labor agents when lured away
from the south, but race lines are
being drawn and the negro is
attacted because he is a negro and
because the white population finds
it disagreeable to have him there.
The south is the home Of the
negro and so long as be conducts
himself right he will have no
trouble in finding friends here.
OF course the white people in the
south will never stand for un-
speakable crimes against our white
women, and laws cannot be enacted
strong enough to decree it other
wise.
The negro will find his most
successful and happiest life on the
farm. We know many negroes
who are sticking to the farm who
are accommodating property, with
money in the banks, and building
up homes. The negroes who
hang around towns or 90 to cities
are not so fortunate.

FRIDAY. AUGUST /. 1919
COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Carroll county is put to the ex-
pense of hiring a man to spend
bis time enforcing the compulsory
school law. ID other words bis
duties are to see that parents or
guardians send their children to
school and prosecute those who do
not do so.
1t is strange that any parent
would be SO negligent of his duty
or,laaking in interest in his chill
dren1s welfareas to refuse to give
them every opportunity possible
to get an education, especially
when this education is offered them
free. But such is the condition
and to meet such a condition, and
to see that these children are given
an equal chance in the world,
the state steps in and forces the
parent to do bis duty along this
line.
The number Of people in this
county who cannot read or write
their own names is appalling, and
to prevent the rising generation
from presenting such condition
is one object Of this law and its
enforcement. The law should be
enforced and the children of the
county given an equal chance in
life's struggle so far as a common
school education is concerned.

LABOR SITUATION

A shortage of agricultural labor
as well as common labor in the
western and southern states, and a
general surplus of men of pro-
fessional and technical training
and of clerks we're noted as the
outstanding features of the present
employment situation in the United
States in the annual report of the
division Of operations of the fed
eral employment service made pub
lie the first of this week.
Surplus of Office help was attri-
buted chiefly to desire of many
persons formerly engaged as la
borers or mechanics to secure
clerical employment while the
holding up of new industrial pro-
Jects pending ratlhcatlon OF the
peace treaty and clarifcation of
conditions were ascribed as the
cause of the surplus of men of
executive, professional and techni-
cal abilities.
1t is strange that farm laborers
are SO hard to secure under present
conditions. Farm products are
all high and the farmers are
offering reasonable wage for
farm labor, but it is hard TO get.

RED CROSS

One thing the Red Cross Depart
ment Of Civilian Relief is doing these
days is to see that every crippled sol
der or sailor "gets back j nthe game"
just as close to his original self as
science can make him-that is the
idea of the government.
The government provides for the
fitting, replacing, and keeping in re-
pair of every artificial limb or appli-
ance required by its crippled fighters,
and the Red Cross is helping to see
that all who need these things apply
to Uncle Sam for them.
The excellence of these artificial
adjuncts to the human body is remark
able. Miss Mary Abel Of the South
ern Division Headquarters attended
a baseball game in Washington re-
Gently at which every member of the
teams had lost either aleg or an arm
and it was good, close, hard-fought
game of ball too.
Not only is the Red Cross helping
soldiers who have lost limbs but those
who were in any way disabled will re-
ceive help in getting what is due them
as fighters who were disabled. The
Bureau of After Care of the Red
Cross wants to get in touch with
every disabled soldier and sailor and
has been asked by the government to
see that every disabled man puts in
his application for compensation.

PUP social justice and a contented
people" as the only safeguard OF
peace.
The authors of the report dis
claimed any attempt to formulate
a comprehensive scheme of recon
struction. Their recommendations
it was stated, were confined to re
forms that seemed to be desirable
and also obtainable within a reas-
enable time, and to those general
principles which should serve as a
guide for more distant develop
ments."
Discussing the rehabilitation OF
the military forces, the report in
dorsed the suggestion of Secretary
of the Interior Lane that discharged
men should be given an opportun-
ity to work at good wages in re-
claiming unused lands, afterward
to be assisted by government loans
to establish themselves as farmers.
1t credited the federal employment
service with "a fair degree of de-
velOpment and efficiency during the
war;" and urged that congress con
tinue and strengthen the organiZa-
IiOu ID d A1SEiLS VI HGlplIS ~ SOlht
the ever present problem of unem-
ployment.
The bishops rated the national
war labor board as zone of the
most beneficial governmental or
CARNATIONS of the war" Its efforts,
they asserted, had prevented in
Vulnerable strikes and raised wages
to decent levels in many indus
tries"
"Its main guiding principles" the
report continued, have been
family living wage for all male
adult Iaborers; recognition of the
right Of labor to organize, and to
deal with employers through its
chosen representatives; and no CO.
ercion of non-union labOrers by
members of the union. The war la
Dor board ought to be continued
in existence by congress, and en-
dowed with all the power for eff
fective action that it can possess
under the federal constitution. The
methods, machinery and
results of this institution constitute
a definite and far-reaChing gain for
social justice. No part of this ad-
vantage should he lost or given up
in time of peace"

ALIEN SUBJECTS
FILE PETITIONS
Rush of Foreign Born Is Noted
During Last Month at Circuit
Clerks Office.

An unusually large number OF
aliens have applied at the circuit
clerks office during the last month
for the purpose of making declara-
lions Of intention to become citizens
of the United States.
What occasioned the naturaliza-
ton rush, quite in contrast to the
slack business during the war, is
more or less of a mystery to
George W. Gamble, circuit clerk.
A department of naturalization
examiner explained the puzZling
circumstance, however. He brought
out that the new revenue law pro-
vides that persons who have not
filed declarations of intention Will
be required to pay to the govern
ment a percentage of their compen-
sation for labor in this country.
Safeguards are being placed
about the requirements of the gov
eminent so that the mere filing OF
a declaration of intention does not
relieve the alien OF his RESPONSE
bility to the country. If he at
tempts to return to the land of his
nativity without having first OBJ
tanned full citizenship papers, he
will be required to pay the accumu-
lated amount due before he can
leave a United States port. If he
allows the declaration TO lapse
with completing his process of be-
coming a citizen he will have TO
pay the accumulated sum for the
years he has benefited by his dec
laratiOn of intention.
1t appears probable also that con-
gress will pass a law providing for
OF the men who claim
ed exemption from military service
because OF being citizens OF other
though they had filed
declarations of intention to be-
come citizens of the United States. |
The law now provides only that
hey forfeit their rights to citizen
ship. Four such forfeituTes were
made last week in the circuit court. |
One of the men is said to have re-
oented and now wants the order of |
forfeiture set aside, but there ap- |
pears to be but little chance. The :
nan so situated is said to be hold |
ng a good position in prominent |
office in Rock Island

MAINTENANCE OF ALL WAGE LEVELS
ATTAINED DURING WAR ARE CALLED
ESSENTIAL IN REPORT OF BISHOPS

Observation-Disclosures of mini
mum wage schedules, maintenance
in general of the wage levels at
tanned during the war and perma-
nent establishment of the national
war labor board and the United
States employment service were ad-
Vocated as essentials of a just re-
construction in a report made pub
lie today by four Catholic bishops
constituting the administrative
committee of the national Catholic
! war council.
While faToring, in the interests
of health and morality, prohibition
of child labor and reduction to the
smallest practical limits of the en-
ployment of women in industry, the
committee urged equal pay for wo-
men doing equal work with men.
1t declared also for insurance of
workers against illness, old age,
and unemployment until wages are
high enough to tide over such per-
iods, for abolition of monopolies, for
continuance of heavy taxes on large
incomes and excess profits, for CO.
operative merchandising in neces-
stiles to reduce the cost of living
anu for goyernment-assis colon
iZation of unoccupied farm lands
by demobilized soldiers and sailors.
AS a measure outside its present
reconstruction program but of val
ne in solving the problems of cap
ital and labor the committee urged
gradual participation by labor in
the management and eventually in
the ownership of industry.
The report, entitled Social Re-
construction; a General Review of
the Problems and Survey of Rene
dies" was issued in the names of
Bishops Peter J. Muldoon, of Rock
ford, Ill, Joseph Schrembs. of To-
ledo, o., William T. Russell, of
Charleston. S. c., and Auxiliary
Bishop Patrick J. Hayes of New
York. AS members of the war
councils administrative committee

chy of America in general direction
of war work in this country and
overseas.
Declaring that "the deep unrest
so emphatically and widely voiced
the world is a most
serious menace" the bishops held
