PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR
RELIGIOUS TRAINING OF THEIR
CHILDREN

We had the pleasure of hearing
Rev. Richardson, of the NJ E. Church
South, preach on the above subject
last Sunday.
! wish every parent in Belington
had heard this sermon. 1t would
doubtless have opened some Of their
eyes. ''The child is in many respects
like the parent. No parent is blame
less. Your responsibility is measured
by your opportunity. If your boy is
sent to prison, you have put him
there. Begin in infancy and set
good example before your children.
Many never see their mistakes until
it is too late. Do your religious duty,
were some of the telling words
spoken by the preacher. .
| noticed that this congregation is
afflicted like others, gum chewing"
and children leaving the church be-
fore preaching.
This detestabIe UM-CHEWING
habit is uglifying some of our most
beautiful young ladies, Girls in their
teens are wearing Spinster faces.
The only rose we see on their erst-
while beautiful faces is bought at the
drug store.
The teacher Of the mems Bible
class was evidently a L. of n. advo-
cate as he said it would bring about
the evangelization of the world, but
did not think it at all likely that the
NJ E. and M. E S. churches would
ever get together. If the church can
not get together, is it reasonable to
expect the world to do so?

ALL DRAFT MEN
HOME By NOV.
Acknowledgement Harris Declares
This Is Plan Regardless Of Action on
Peace Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.--An
drafted men in the United States
Army will be home by the end of
October
In response to questions as to why
American troops are being kept in
Siberia, the Acknowledgement said
there is no reason why the reason for
maintaining this expedition should not
be given to Congress. He added,
however, that the State Department
was the proper source from which
this information should come.
Up to September 4, the committee
was told 1878 men had been enlisted
for Siberian service, and between o.
900 and 5000 had sailed. This leaves
but few more than 1000 men yet to
be replaced and brought home from
Siberia, General Harris explained.
OF the 1921 men and 2,2s9 officers
now in France and Germany, the Ad-
jutant General continued, less than
one-third are with the Army Of De-
cupation on the Rhine. The remain
der are engaged in cleaning up in
France.
No troops are being sent to Sile-
STA, he said. The Fifth and Fiftieth
Infantry regiments, reported to have
been ordered to Silesia, he explained,
are to go to Coblenz.

OMAHA MOB BURNS COUNTY
COURTHOUSE; LYNCHES NEGRO
Mayor Edward p. Smith in Hospital
in Serious Condition as Result
of Attempt TO Hang Him

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 20. After
night of mob rule during which a
negro was lynched, an attempt made
to hang the mayor Of Omaha, Edward
p. Smith, the county courthouse burn
ed, one man shot and killed and per-
haps 40 others injured the city was
quiet today under patrol Of federal
troops from Fort Crook and Fort
Omaha. The mayor was at the hos
pital in serious condition today as
the result of the attempt made by
the mob to hang him because he ad-
vised against the lynching Of William
Brown, negro, who was in the jail
charged with attacking white girl.
The fire that was started in tho
courthouse left that structure mass
Of ruins. The property was valued
at $1,500,000
For several hours the lives Of more
than 100 prisoners In the jail were
endangered by the flames in the lower
floors Of the building. 1t was finally
necessary to send them all to the roof.
Sheriff Clark stood of the angry mob
until the flames caused the prisoners
themselves to take action. They at
first decided to throw the negro from
the roof to the pavement below and
leave him to the destruction Of the
mob. It was at this moment that the
mob that had gained entrance to the
burning building pushed past Sheriff
Clark and his deputies and forced
their way into the cell corrodor. Here
the negro was turned over to them.
Throwing rope around his neck
these men, numbering about 30,
dragged him to the ground floor
Brown was practically dead before
his form was strung to pole. His
body was mutilated beyond recog-
milton by thousand bullets. 1t was
first placed over fire Of tarred fag-
llots and then dragged through the
streets at the end Of a rope. i
Latest reports Of the rioting esti-
mate the number Of injured all the
way from 4D to so. Only two per-
SONS were killed, however. These
were William Brown, negro, who was
taken from thecounty Jail and lynched
land white man believed to be CLAIR
ence Clancy, aged 23, Of Omaha.
