A Nebraska Mob
Burns Courthouse
to Lynch a Negro

negro assaulted white woman in
Omaha, Nebraska. few days ago and
when mob formed to take him from
the Jail the officers made determined
fight to protect him. The mob grew to
such proportions and such fury that
the court house was set on fire and
more than a million dollars damages
resulted. The negro was lynched and
burned. An attempt was made to hang
the mayor of the city and he was saw
ed by police cutting the rope. The Of
hcial was taken to hospital uncon-
scious and is yet in critical condi-
tion.
This occurred way up north where
they claim to believe the negro Is abus-
ed down south. The truth is that a
bad negro is in just as much danger of
mob violence in the north as In the
south and that the good ones receive
better treatment in the south than any
where. They do not have social equal
ity, to be sure, and that would be the
worst thing they could have The races
were created so Enthusiastically different
that they must remain within their re-
spective spheres or take the conse-
auences that always result from the
violation OF natures laws.

REPORT OF cHILDERs
CHILD UNTRUE

The Paintsville Herald says: There
has been report going the rounds Of
the. daily papers that Upton Childers.
residing two miles below Paintsville
had received word from New Mexico.
that a dying rancher had confessed
that he kidnapped his little three year
old daughter twenty years ago, but on
his death bed had willed his property
to this girl and requested that she mo-
tify her parents.
twenty years ago little three year
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Childers
was missing and no trace was ever
FOUND Of her. The Big Sandy river was
at high tide at the time, and it was
supposed that the little girl had wan
dered to the bank OF the swollen stream
and was drowned.
Mr.. and Mrs. childers were in Paints
vile last week and were greatly excit-
ed and worried over the report which,
was without any foundation whatever.
The report was probably started bv~
some newspaper correspondent far
more interested in getting the pay for
the news item than he was about tell
Ing the truth.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING EXPLAINED


Columbus, Ohio-There is mixed re.
sponsibility between personal and i'm
personal causes for the present high
prices from which the country is suf-
fering, according to digest Of re-
views by Prosecuting Attorneys who
have been diligent in efforts to run
down profiteering and violations Of law.
The summary was made public by
Attorney-General John G. Price, and
centers around six principal heads, no
attempt having been made to arrange
the findings in the order of their i'm
portance, as this is considered to be a
task beyond the power Of any indi-
vidualg
l. Large expectation of foodstuffs to
foreign countries.
2. Profiteering by SPECTATORS and
firms in control Of foodstuffs.
3. Transportation facilities are in
adequate. particularly as to coal and
grain and the delay that results there
from is ruinous as to perishable food
stuffs.
a. Placing of eggs butter, poultry.
meats, ETC., in cold storage for the pur-
pose OF maintaining higher prices.
o. Illegal combinations to maintain
prices.
6. Productivity to the person has
-eeu lessened greatly by having short
sned the hours of labor.

WAGES OF MINERS
AND RAILROAD men

| Governor Cornwell in a recent ad-
dress TO teachers in his home state,
called attention to a number OF in
teresting facts which the labor agi-
tators have missed or concealed. What
is true of West Virginia teachers
practically is true Of teachers in all
other states; true also of bank clerks,
of innumerable stenographers, and Of
others who work. He said.
do you know that the average coal
miner and factory worker is today
getting more pay for an eight-hou
day than the highest paid teachers in
your State University and normal
schools. who burn the midnight oil?
The conductor who sits in Pullman
car and runs the fast passenger trains
on eight-hour shifts is better paid than
those professors who have given and
are giving their very lives to their
work.
This is no attack on the laboring
man. organized or unorganized but a
pointing to a disparity which does not
receive general attention at the hands
of those agitators who pursue the end
less ever-higher wage.
And this plain philosophy: Il want
to impress that prices cannot be low
cred by stopping work and lessening
production. Every strike that stops
mine or mill and lessons the produc-
tion OF any necessity means to increase
the price of ali necessities to some ex-
tent, however small
This elemental reasoning should APP
peal to all those wage workers who |
as the Governor says, are not willing I
to communize their little heritage. and
who do not ask others to mortgage
themselves to give them railrAad or
an industry. Cincinnati FnquiDqr.
