spirited them v e the boundary line
into Michigan after midnight on No
vember 8 it was the third time in
less than four years than Mr.. Doher-.
ty had taken his cars away.
Early in April of 1916 the New
York traction magnate, without warn
ling to city officials or public, sent
the cars into the barns when the
car men who had organized a na-
ion appeared wearing the union but
ton. Toledo that time went thirt--
cen days without street cars.
On the night Of June %, last, the
car men after receiving word Of the
LANYARD made by the wal labor board,
which gave them the right to wear
the buttons, came out against sdec,
Grated with the emblem Of the un-

of Service in the City

With the closing of the Hershey
House next Monday night, one of
the oldest hotels in the city will dis
continue business. To-day the fur
nshings in thirteen rooms in an ad-
joining building, which had been
rented for hotel purposes, were dis
posed of at public sale by D. U. Her.
shey, the present proprietor.
Last night the diningroom closed,
and next Monday night the bar and
the hotel will close. The property
has been purchased by S. A. Greene,
and it is understood that Philadel-
phia businessmen are bidding for
the location for a store.
The Hershey House was started
many years ago and IN April, 1881.
Harry E. Hershey, father of d. u.
Hershey, first began to conduct the
hotel. In 1900 his son took over the
management and has been in charge
ever since.
Many other hotel proprietors in
the city and vicinity are renewing
their liquor licenses for the month
of July, about eighty having paid
the monthly license fee to County
Treasurer Mark Mumma. Early in
the year five others paid fees for
the entire license year

II for no other reason than spite,

In other words, the American

Ledger published In the heart OF the

following as its editorial 1t says:
Is Il mere coincidence that with
the signing OF the arnistice the mob
spirit in the South awoke from sleep
OF two b three years in perhaps a
more virilent form than Il has here
fofore manifested? Is II comforting to
our pride as Sontherners that none OF
the recent lynchings have been pro
voked by assaults upon women2~ That
none OF the alleged crimes were such
as TO deprive men OF their lives?
After lynching OF two Negroes at
Sheffield and others in other sections
OF the South. two Negro youths and
two Negro girls, all under 20 years Of
age, have been lynched at Shubuta,
Miss, for the alleged murder of a
white man. Let us hope this climax
marks the end OF the recurrent wave
OF an objectionable crime. II for no
other reason, let us not forget that the
Negro has done these three things:
First-stood by his white owner
throughout the dark days Of the Con
federacy, neither Iooting, nor betray-
ing. nor harming, but protecting his
women folk and his children.
Second--That when German agents
sounded their patriotism, the Negro
spurned them with contempt.
Third That, where tried on the
western front they gave good account
OF themselves In courage, cheerfnlness
and endurance.
II higher wages in industrial lines
have withdrawn them from the farm
and domestic service and we feel the
brunt OF the void. let us not forget
that In seeking their own financial
betterment they have but followed the
example OF the whites about them and
that, in doing SO. tfie void created in
one direction has been filled in others
more important. II they have devel-
oped racial pride as a result of
changed conditions, is II not better to
utilize that pride In productiyeness
than goad II into a reprisal unhappy
for both races?
Admit the Negroes responsibility.
Admit that OF child. Is the child
made better by acts OF injustice, OF
wanton cruelty? Rather does not the
