the various classes of criminals, the
pardoning of j. L. Hollingsworth,
former city tax collector of Tampa,
serving fve-year sentence at the
state prison farm for the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 indicates that the
tendency is to place premium upon
dishonesty, as the convicted man had
served only three years of his five
year sentence, which was extremely
light to say the least. In the opinion
Of the Times it Is criminal to set such
an example before the youth of the
state. We know nothing about Hol-
lingsworth except that he was con-
yicted Of very grave and serious
charge of which he must surely have
Ieen guilty, and we entertain no III
will for him, but the philosophy that
prompts men to extend clemency in a
case where it is apparent clemency
has already been strained to almost
the breaking point we must confess is
beyond our understanding.

The Miami Herald wisely says:
Judge Call. of this federal district,
has, as we understand it, decided that
the Florida statute on the manufac-
ture, sale and possession of intoxicat-
ing liquors does not conflict with the
Volstead law, and that therefore both
laws are in effect in this state. The
question was raised before the judge
as to whether the state law was not in
conflict with the Volstead law i'm GER

as being in conflict with a federal law
Ia the case before him the Judge de-
eided that there was no conflict, al

raised on the subject. As a matter 81
fact it would be we'll for everybody
concerned to obey both laws. for q

AMERICAN LYNcHINGs

Inc toronto Mali anu Empire Is
much fairer to the South than the av-
erage American paper published In
the northern states. In the follow
ing. it comes close to telling the truth
about the race question in the United
States, and its comment on northern
mobs shows that it is wise to the
feeling among the riff raft in northern
cities, that causes it to attack entire
communities of negroes simply be-
cause it can do by so doing wreak it's
blood-lust in comparative safety:
According to the record kept by
the Tuskegee Institute, there were
only twelve negroes lynched in the
first six months of the year. or the
same period last year there were g
lynchings, and for similar period
two years ago there were 45. It is to
be hoped that the full year win see a
reduction, although glancing at Am
erican newspapers for the past few
days ii. seems that there must be an
average of about half a dozen week.
Most of the crimes against the ne
groes were committed in the South,
but it is doubtful if there are half a
dozen states in the Union that have
not at some time or other disgraced
themselves with the murder of me-
groes. It was only short time ago
when three negroes were burned to
death in Duluth. The other day a
negro was 1ynched by an Infatuated
mob in Enterprise, Miss, because in
defending himself from attack by a
white postal clerk he had stabbed his
assailant. Most of the negroes lynch
ed were accused Of assaulting white
women, but none of them had been
convicted. Those who were not taken
from the Jail while awaiting trial and
hanged or burned, were hunted down
by mob and put to death on mere
suspicion.

WARREN B. DOUGLAS SURE
OF REELECTION

Despite the fact that George +.

with tainted money and that Mayor

sonal influence TO further disguise and
deceive the colored voters, Hon. War
rem B. Douglas on account of his
splendid record of achievement for his
race in the last Legislature and intel
ligent campaign that he has waged is
sure OF reelection at the Primaries
on September 18th.
The Peoples Choice
During his term OF office in the last
General Assembly, Mr.. Douglas did
not use his high Office for his own
interests as is commonly done by our
so-ealled leaders He used his Office
for the benefit of the working people
who elected him. Today there are
scores Of young men and women hold
ing honorable and lucrative positions.
They are not political appointments
but permanent places with the largest
corporations in the State. The secur-
ing OF these places coupled with the
fact that lie is not handpicked, boss

ring true. Douglas is the peoples
choice"

Membership OF the Sanitary District
is one OF the most important Offices to
be filled in Cook County. It has to

Attitude on Race Riot
During the late inter.racal disturbance IN

Tor law and order than Mr. Bruudage. In an
address delivered before the Chicago Associ-
alton OF Commerce. during the week OF the
riot, the Attorney General took the position
that the greatness OF a nation is indicated
by the business and mpartality with which
its laws are administered lie argued that
non Enforcement OF the law breeds in the
minds OF the weak that all laws are unjust
restraints Among other things he said: "a
cure for Racial prcJudices is one for which
many remedies are prescribed. Segregation
has been advocated as 4 remedy, but il there
IS any blood and bone in the constitution OF
the United States. there can be no lawful
restrictions between citizens possessing equal
political rights. The final and lasting cure
Is the exercise OF Justice, reason. and good
sense between both white and black" The

NEW OIL TANKER
 TO SERVE KATALLA

Representing unique ad- dition to the Alaska fleets, a miniature bulk oil tanker, built of wood for the Boring River Coal company, of Ka- talla, was launched during the week by Edward Heath, shipbuilder, from the Ire goning plant, Seattle. The company owns oil properties in the Katalla district and will use the new vessel in distributing fuel oil to GUS toners in Cordova and other ports on Prince William sound.
 Captain Ben Durkee went to Seattle some time ago to bring the new ship North and probably will be ready to set sail within a short time.
 The tanker is only 65 feet long, has a beam of IS feet land a nodded depth of six feet four inches. It will be equipped with cargo tanks having a capacity of l2,OOO gallons and, in addition, she will carry 500 gallons in her fuel oil tanks for her own use. Besides the oil in the cargo, the craft will be able to carry approximately l,50C gallons in drums on deck
 Completed, the little tank. CT will represent an invest, ment of $35,OOO.
