The 18th ANIMAL military ball of the

were discontinued during the war, this
being the FIST one since January, 1917
The Armory was prettily decorated
and the booths Of the Regimeatal

being continuously held during the
evening, we've prOfusely decorated with

The Recruiting Booth, in charge Of
GeHtehant EOrvell, operated during
the evening and 20 former members Of
the regiment re-enlisted between
dances. The Red Gross Sanitary Drill
Unit No. u gave practical demonstra-
tons of their work during the evening
in their booth which was one Of the
prettiest m the hall. There were about
5000 people present and it was very
pleasing to note that among them were
nearly all Of our representative eiti-
cents. Never in the history of the
regiment has such variety Of uni
forms been seen. The former officers
(Our veterans) wore the fun dress hlue,
which sPOrted numerous medals and
badges won during their long years of
service with the regiment; tho Red
Cross Drin and Canteen Units were
very ssshie'' in their pretty Red Gross
uniforms; the members of the Ent

formerly Assistant States Attorney,

LYNCHING.

The Houston Post, commenting on the
awful tragedy at Lexington, KY, says:
The killing and wounding of mum
Der Of speople at Lexington, KY, by
troops sent to preserve law and order
during the trial Of a Negro, is deplor.
able, but it ought to accomplish some
thing toward checking the growth Of
the lynehihg evil It was a drastic
method Of preventing a lynehing, but
the time has come for drastic meas.
ures, If this form Of anarchy is to be
put down in this country.
"The members Of the mob which IN
dertOok to rush the soldier guard of the
court house square had less excuse for
seeking to take the law into their own
hands than the usual mob has. The
law was taking its course in record
breaking time. The Negro had been
indicted, had confessed and had been
tried, convicted and sentenced to death,
all within the space Of about ten days.
The courts had funetioned properly and
there was absolutely no reason why a
mob Of citizens should have undertaken
to carry out the courts sentence.
1.-THE prOvOeation Of legal delays
that mobs sometimes have was entirely
lacking here. Only a spirit of lawiess-
ness and vengeance prompted the
crowd to attack the court house to get
the Negro.
"The governor Of Kentucky who
sent the troops to preserve order, the
commander and the troops themselves
all deserve the congratulations Of the
American people for unfolding at all
costs the majesty Of the law. Their
action had a much deeper meaning than
simply protecting the life temporarily
of the ignorant, criminal Negro. If
his life had been all that was at stake,
it would not have been worth the eff
fort.
,s"But it was the government of Ken
tueky that the mob attacked when
they undertook to take the Negro away
from Kentucky authorities, and by that
act they placed themselves in the posi-
ton Of insurreetiOnists, challenging the
authority of their government. When
men do that, they ought to know they
take their lives into their own hands,
and have no redress If they come to
grief"
