a LOGICAL RESOLUTION.

6THERE has been introduced before
the Industrial conference at Wash

'pearances logical enough. 1t provides
that no person engaged in federal, state

Plantation using the strike as a means

OMAHA WOULD SAVE GOOD NAME

I'M ETERMINED to save It's good

the lynching episode that disgraced
that city some weeks ago, to pass with
out attempting to bring to justice
the return of indictments against eight
of tho alleged ring LEADERS charging
them with crimes ranging from arson
to first degree murder. Omaha has
done well. 1t should see that the trial
of those charged with the responsible
ity OF the outrage when the negro
Brown was iynched, an attempt was
made to lynch the mayor and the court
house was burned. is prosecuted with
vigor.
1t can be said to the credit OF Oma-
ha that the business men and leading
citizens of that city were among the
first to condemn the action Of the mob
The same condemnation was echoed
over the nation. But condemning such
outrages will not put stop to them
The law must be enforced against
those who violate order and decency
and they should be made an example
Of as a warning to others that taking
the law into ones own hands will not

THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS ILLNESS

IMAM LID rumors are afloat about the
INV present physical condition of
president Wilson. Most of them are alb
surd yet they are being repeated and
gossip Is seeing that they carry with
the speed of the wireless. A New
Hampshire senator in a letter to a
constituent, who of course promptly
repeated the statement said the other
day the president was suffering from
a brain lesion and would never be able
to ork again.
OF course a flat denial came from the
bedside of the president. DIR. Grayson
suggested that perhaps the senator
had information not available to the
Presidents physicians" If the Presi-
dents heart action and blood pressure
have been normal from the beginning
It does not seem likely that there has
been brain lesion. The physicians
are the best authority, and no one of
them has ever len charged with be-

diagnosis of the Presidents case may
be given out for the purpose of set

about, some of them vouched for by
senators of the United States. That
would be a wise thing to do, since the
best corrective in such cases is the
truth. But IL this policy be not adop
ted, senators can at least refuse tic
have anything to do with the circula
ton of rumors and refrain from dig

IL little enough to ask. The American
people will continue to hope that the
President may be able to work again
and that his recovery may be complete
and speedy. He has their sympathy

VACATION S.

The man who invented vacations
had the right idea, but he cut them
very skinny and didn't do his subject
justice. Considering the chance he
had, he might have made his name
immortal. There was nothing stand
ing in his way. He had an assert
ment of fifty-two weeks to choose
from, but he decided to be hard
boiled egg and so chose only two.
He surrounded his invention, the va
cation, with all the allurements that
could have been found on Mount
Olympus. He made the vacation so
attractive that his victims began
thinking about 1t fifty weeks before
the start
No vacation in the history of the
world was ever within so per cent Of
being up to expectations. Many per-
sons have been SO dissatisfied with
them that they longed to be back in
their comfortable jobs within two
days. The main drawback to vaca-
lions is that a persons worries so much
about their length. When they ar
rive they begin to count the days be-
fore they will have to start back.
Most people are anxious to swap va
cations and vacation places with
somebody else as soon as they get
off the train and nobody ever picks
the right two weeks.
About the only way to find a salts
factory vacation out of all the vaca-
lions offered is to conduct q series of
experiments covering the entire year.
If person could do that he might
find two weeks that would suit him
and a spot where he could spend the
two weeks without suffering nervous
prostration.

In these days of denunciation
by Senator Lodge and many
Republican leaders of President
Wilson and his efforts for peace
at the Peace Conference, it is
refreshing to note the hearty
support given him by Ex-Presi-
dent Taft. The work of Mr..
Taft in behalf Of the League of
Nations is one of the many evil
dences of his superiority to the
ideas and tactics of the mere
partisan. He is even said to have
spoken impatiently of certain
Republican Senators habituated
to regard Mr.. Wilson as the
source and fount of all evil. To
strive to provide the machinery
for maintaining the peace of the
world seemed to him more nee
essary than feeding fat the
Republican grudge against Mr..
Wilson; and for this reason he is
taboo to the powerful Republican
politicians. And yet the POST

of the political fence is con-
strained to feel that with the
rank and file of the Republican
party Mr.. Taft stands foremost

On the front page of this issue
can be seen the announcement
of the organization of a baseball
association for Rockingham, I'M

the Association.
Two weeks ago the boys of
Monroe organized a team, back

and elected the Episcopal rector,
Rev. Mr.. Rotter, as President of
the Association.
And what the towns of Mon
roe and Rockingham have done,
other towns over the State are
doing. The Church is entering
more and more into the daily
life of the communities. The old
spirit of seclusion and separ-

of more intimate contact is real

the pastors to join in with the
boys in their healthy game of
baseball.
The Post-Dispatch is only too
glad to help in this movement
for a clean athletic spirit, and
