SUCH AS MOBS ARE MADE OF.

Leonard Webser, Omaha advertis- ing man, was active in the Omaha riot. He was not so anxious to get the negro, who deserved to be lynched, but when the mayor of Oma- ha was attacked by score or more of men, Webster had a burst of cour- age and hit the mayor over the head with gun.
 When the police got hold of Web ster, he confessed, and when con- fronted by the gun he used on the mayors head, he tainted. It is such stuff as Webster is made of that makes a mob that will harm innocent. and destroy property. After the Omaha mob got the negro, there was no excuse for the attacks on the may or or for the destruction of property. There are lots of men who haven't the courage to resent an insult who will kill on maim when the object of their assault is defenseless.

Common Law is to
 Be Invoked Against
 Kentucky Profiteers

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 15.-Common law is to be invoked in Kentucky against profiteers and price gougers, according to instructions being pre- pared by Attorney General Morris office for distribution to every cir cult judge and commonwealth's at torney in the state. Grand jury in vestigation of many profiteering cases apparently will result.
 Comnen, law covering profiteering holds that dealer has a specific service in getting various products to the. consumer and is entitled to a reasonable compensation for service alone, without regard to profit. The instructions of the attorney generals s office recite that many city charters give powers to fix prices and that persons monopolizing foodstuffs are open to indictment regardless of in- tent.
 Thress,Affenses are recognized .s by .commoit ctiell with food profiteering first, forestalfing the market by buying goods before a market is reached or preventing goods from reaching market; sec ond, regarding products by buying and selling on the same market merely to add to the price of the con- sumner, and, third, depicting the mar ket by boarding.

BLESSING OF A. TAX.

The income tax, bane of the exist ence of the rich and one of the cur rent worries of the poor, in some ways is blessing in disguise.
 Rather than pay the government big sums in income taxes, wealthy men are sinking this money in inn provements and in speculative pro- duction. In Texas great many oil wells are being drilled which would not otherwise be drilled. The oil men would rather spend their money in searching for oil than they would in giving it to the government. At other places incomes are being used for improving real estate. In still others, thousands are being spent on drainage and land-clearng. When the income tax is finally revoked, we will find that our resources have been greatly increased.

British Also Are Browning on the
 Rhenish Republic

Cologne, Sept. 12 Correspondence of The Associated Press )-British military authorities have taken a stand similar to that assumed by the American army in the occupied terri tory of Germany with reference to the political movement by Dr. Adam Dorten of Deisbaden and others de- signed to bring about a Rhineland republic. Dr. Dorten has, been pro- hibited from entering either the American or British occupied zones for the purpose of speaking publicly or causing demonstrations in favor of a change of government.
 Instructions issued from the Brit ish army headquarters in Cologne re- gently state:
 "It is hereby notified that, while the British military authorities re- main in control of the area occupied by the British army. no change in the German administration of that area will be permitted, and no new author ity will be recognized without the pre- vious sanction of the British military authorities"

Louisville, Kf., Oct. 15.-Elimina- tion of the pari-mutuel betting sys tenn in vogue at Kentucky racetracks is to be sought by the Churchmen's Federation of Louisville, according to Dr. w. s. Lockhart, executive secre- tary of the organization.

LAW.

Rodman Law is one of the few aviators who died natural death. The hero of score of daredevil stunts, Law died of disease. He is one of the few to pass out in this man. ner. Generally if they fly long enough they finally are killed. It is almost mathematical proposition.
 Moissant, Hoxsey, Johnstone, Wright-all of them met death vio- lently. Roland Garros is an except ion as was Law. Garros, one of the first Frenchmen to fly, did exhibi- tion flying for five years before the outbreak of the war in 1914. He went into the war and achieved re- markable record. He was shot down T half dozen times, but when the armis- tice was signed, Garros was sailing over the heads of the advancing French infantry.
 It is such men as Law and Garros and those others who have died who have made flying possible. Every new adventure to be success must have the support of daring men. Men who are willing to take their lives into their hands generally insure the suc- cess of any proposition they under take.

RADICALISM.

l When Germany's army of barbar- , fans were almost in sight of Paris,
 and America and the allies held their
 breath under the fearful tension of
 whether that great city would be
 footed by this horde of ravagers and
 ravishers, the civilization of this
 country was not in greater danger,
 probably not so great, as it is today
 when the same hell-inspired forces oi evil are at work throughout our land
 to ravage, to ravish and to loot the
 country and utterly destroy our gov ernment.
 The threat of revolution is heard | everywhere. The radicals and socia- lists in high places and in low, twin children of Satan himself, are seek ! ing to destroy the government of this republic and revel in the wild orgies
 of murder and crime which have
 brought Russia down into the mre of
 woe and unspeakable misery. The in- fluences which are at work there were largely vomited from Germany and from he'll, synonymous terms then,
 for the present and for all time to
 come, unless Germany shall be redeem
 ed from the Satanic power which it's
 people have gladly and joyously talk en unto their bosom.
 This is the spirit back of the strikes which are sweeping over the land
 Innocent men are being made to do the bidding of the vilest radicals, socialists and bolshevists that this or any other country has ever known. Such labor unions, as are now coa- trolled by radicalism, are endanger- ing the nation, and it behooves every patriotic man, and there are hundreds of thousands of them in labor unions.
 either to control these organizations for good, or else to come out from among them and stand for the safety
 of civilization.
 The time has come for the teacher and the preacher, the business man Eand the newspaper, and for everyone who loves not simply America, but who loves human liberty and civiliza- ton, to awaken to the seriousness of the struggle which is now before us

Tennessee to Have
 Flaw and Order Week.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 15.-Accept- ing the pledge of Governor Roberts to exhaust every resource of Tennes- see both in men and money to main tain the majesty of the law" the Tennessee Law and Order league at a meeting requested the governor to set aside the week of Oct. 26 to Nov. as Flaw and order week."
 In resolutions embodying it's re- quest and reciting the recent race riots in the state and the general unrest, the league recommended that immediate steps be taken to strength en the national guard of the state, that authorities increase the eff ciency of their departments and that all the force of the state government be brought to bear with the aim of stamping out lawlessness.
 Governor Roberts in an address at the leagues meeting declared that crimeNwas becoming organized in Tennessee, while in certain sections of the state bootleggers had organ ized to the point of adopting bylaws.

"14-Brothers-Mine" Named for Fourteen
 Who Are Brothers

Lakeside, Mo-, Oct. 15.-The "Four- teen Brothers Mine" is operated by IA brothers named Whitecasleton, whose given names can be so arranged that the first letters spell the sur name.
 Walter Whitecasleton was hunt ing squirrels one day when he came to spring. It was filled with small pebbles and in scraping these out to get drink, he found that most of the pebbles were of pure "rosn jack" or zinc ore.
 The Whitecastleton "clan" is large. Walter rounded them up, secured a lease and they drove a tunnel into the hill.
 Twenty feet and good ore was found; 40 and they had real mine. They named it the Fourteen Broth ers'' for the reason that each part, ner is a brother to one or more of the other 14. There are two trlos of brothers and four pairs of broth CTS, and the different pairs and trios are first cousins to the other trlos and pairs.
 The arrangement of their first names, which results in the first let ter of each spelling "Whiteeastleton, v is: W alter, H enry, I saac, T homas, E dward, c harles, A ndrew, s tephen, T racy, L oyd, E Twin, T heodore, o scar, N athan.
 The II relatives have worked the mine for nearly two years without a quarrel. Each one has his partic- ular task to perform, and he per forms it, and they divide profits equally, regardless of position held. They hire no outside help.

While only 5O0,Oeo bushels weer shipped out in 1918, some authorities estimate 2.5OO,O00 bushels will be shippe dthis year.

ASSEMBLY OF CITY BUILDERS.

Are you a member of the Cham Der of Commerce
 If you are, you should make it a point to attend the annual meeting of the city-building organization this evening.
 If you are not, you should enroll without delay. It is duty you owe to yourself, as we'll as your neigh bors.
 The Chamber of Commerce has ac- complished good work. It could ach- icve greater things for Pine Bluff, backed by the proper cooperation of all who should be behind city build ing work.
 Opportunities for Pine Bluff were never more promising. New indus tries are being launched, and some established industries are in receptive mood to consider removal to new To. cations.
 Pine Bluff itself was never in bet ter position to wage successful cam paign for new enterprises. Thru the numerous Liberty bond and war work drives, Pine Bluff people have learned how easy it is to achieve seemingly impossible things thru working to- gether.
 Should Pine Bluff people pull to- gether in movements for the up- building and development of the city as we'll as they have in patriotic and phllanthropic causes, our payrolls and population will double in less than decade.
 The organization thru which Pine Bluff must work for new factories. new people, is the Chamber of Com- mcrce. Other clubs and associations like the Rotary club and Ad club can and will help promote every movement for the betterment of the city, but no organization can do the work of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Because the c. of c. is the city's army to prosecute commercial cam palgns, and because there must be we'll organized effort if Pine Bluffs progress is to continue, it is the duty of every business man in the city to affiliate with the organization, help shape it's course, and loyalty support the plans adopted.
 Attend the annual meeting tonight if you are member; enroll as a member today if you haven't already already joined.

HELP THE MEMORIAL PARK.

In a way, the establishment of the Memorial Park will be a revolution ary one in Pine Bluff. It will mark an important milestone on this city's progress. It will give the people of Pine Bluff their first recreation grounds, open to everyone, free to everyone. It will provide place where the children of Pine Bluff can indulge in healthy play. Every dolla. you give to the Memorial Park fund is dollar given to the betterment of the physical, mental and moral being of our children.
 This town has the habit of putting over in hurry every drive for funds that is made. The war taught the people of Pine Bluff great lesson. It. taught them that while Pine Bluff has a population of 30,000 people, it has the punch of a city of 100000 peo- pie when it comes to cooperative ef- fort. We have learned that we can do anything in reason that we plan to do if we pull together.
 We ought to pull together for the Memorial Park just as we did for the war drives. In way the park fund means just as much.
 When the Rotary and Chamber committees call on you for funds give them as much as you can afford.
