nam to @. 7. Bell, executive vice
president Of the Northern West Vtr
Hnis Coal operatnrS Association:
'In yiex of,tAe demand for coal
via lakes and Light shipments
made In Last day or so I suggest
that you take up with all your
operators the question Of loading
heavily TO the lakes while eastern
conditions are practically closed
By labor troubles. More should
be.accomplished In this direction
mItew Of the fact that any lind
OF coal Is acceptable Appreciate
advice what can be done"
While Mr. Galluway's suggestion d
good and timely nevertheless the
operators are asking for q car sup
ply first In ordeIthat his suggestion
might be carried out The question
Of reconsigning east bound loads while
not touched upon would hardly be
practical, although this might help
some In eliminating some Of the CON
gestton. Both Fatrmont and Grafton
yards are burdened down with hun
dreds Of coal loads
Mr.. Bell sent word to Mr.. Galloway
that effort would be made to encour.

would be favorable.

One of the best planks the COM
ing Republican National Convention
can contain is, exact justice to all,
honestly caring for the interests OF
every patriotic child of the Republic,
whether he be upon the high seas,
on the border of, within Mexico or
elsewhere, and scrupiously minding
our own business, ever letting our
fist thought and labors be for the
righteous interest of the Nation as
a whole. The Nation is, or ought to
be, like unto an household, as one big
family, and whether it be a divine
edict or not, it is most assuredly a
divine right and course always pur-
sued by the good of the land, to first
and best care for those who, by the
ties of home, have claims upon them.
We are against anything that would
change the order of procedure for
the Nation as much as if it were a
move to change our activities for the
use and benefit of our own family
to that of yours or the neighborhood
in general. The Great God of the
Universe didn't intend that ! should
love and serve your offspring as ] do
my own, that T should go to the re-
lief Of your brother first when mine
was equally in need. II this senti-
ment be a condemning sin, then no
less than 95 or a hundred million of
American subjects, when their hearts
are laid bare, will expose a scar send
ing them straight into hell.

JOHNSON ON TOP
Hitchcock Leads Democrats, Bryan
Wins Too, In Neb.

Omaha, NeD., April Ex-senator
Hiram w. Johnson continued in the
lead for the Republican presidential
preference as votes of the Tuesday
primary we're slowly received today
by newspapers tabulating the returns
William ]. Bryan had gained enough
votes in the days count to place
him among the first four candidates
for delegate-at-large to the San Fran
cisco convention.
With less than one-half of the l.
$40 precincts in the state reporting,
Senator johnson had a lead of S,645
votes over Gen. Leonard Wood, his
nearest competitor, with Gen. John j.
Pershing third.
In the Bryan-Hitchcock race for
elegates-at-large, Bryan not only
managed to get within the coveted
four on the votes counted but found
one of his running mates there with
him.
Hitchcoks Leads Opponent
Democratic leaders tonight said the
uncompleted returns indicated that
former Governor Morehead was a
winner in the gubernatosial race by
probably the largest plurality of any
candidate on the ballot. Republi-
cans also predicted the nomination
of Governor McKelvie. The incom-
plete figures showed that Senator
Hitchcock, seeking the presidential
Endorsement, was leading his oppo'
nent, Robert Ross, by almost three
votes to one.

0 inst why all the rest of us should
undergo the burdens of taxation that
those who have been so lucky as to
be appointed to an office and hold 1t
for years and years, under civil SER
vice regulations, then when a certain
age has been attained, retire on life
pension, is something more than we, in
our shallow methods of thinking are
able TO fathom. No set of clerks and
workers in any other line OF employ
ment in the United States work I'M
der better conditions or shorter hours
than does the average civil service
employe of the Government. The
worn out coal digger, the farmer, the
hodcarrier. or even the newspaper
man is as much entitled to retire on
a pension as is a government en-
ploye. OF all the unjust methods OF
absolutely giving away the peoples
tax money, and a fair sample OF rank
class legislation, the pensioning OF
retired Government officials and en-
ployes, hits the spot about as center
as any we can think of. If you work
for the Government why provide for
a rainy day?

OH, PEOPLE TO REMOVE
OFFICES TO GREENSBORO

Mr.. Earl Swan, of Oklahoma CITY,
and the force of men identified with
him, representing capitalists, who
have purchased two of the produc-
ing wells near here, and who con-
template extensive developments in
this section, have, or will at once
open offices in greensboro. Mr.. Swan
with a number of others, has been
in Hartford for several months, with
headquarters at the Commercial Ho-
tel. 1t is to be regretted that per-
manent offices for the concern were
not established here, as the addition
to Hartford's business would more
than likely prove quite beneficial in
several ways.

"The Golden Incident, following
the close of the war; the race ques-
ton to be tactfully dealt with; the
bill originated and passed by the
Democrats, signed by Morrow and the
pen, given to a "Nigger," we frank
ly confess our ignorance, we don't
know what it is all about. We are
told that it was done to coddle the
s.nigger" vote, if true, we presume
that from the same point Of reason
ing the Democrats originated and
passed the measure as a coddling
project. All that we have seen upon
the momentous question looks a bit
coddling to us.

We are bound to differ with Broth

think, to read the editorial in the
current issue, that nearly all Demo-
Gratis were for sale on election days.
Now, we don't believe any such a
thing, not a bit of it. The Herald,
speaking of the use of money in
elections, says 1T was literally pour
ed out of the Republican strong box
in the State election last fall and we
may expect them to try to repeat the
performance in 1920" Yes, we

will follow their example and try to

A mad-dog was killed here yester
day by Mr.. Russell carp. So you

much to see dogs have fits but ne
mind very much to see people have

Several days ago a small boy OF
Danville was brutally attacked and
almost killed The father of the sew
en-year-old lad, claimed to have had
an alteration with a negro by the
name of Lucien jenkins, on the date
of. or the day before the lad was as
saulted. So it was easy enough to
have suspicion point toward the ne
gro. who was subsequently arrested.
The attack was so brutal and fiend-
ish, that the populace of the vicinity
was aroused to the bitterest pitch,
although the helpless negro stoutly
maintained his innocence in the face
of the most persistent grueling. An
other, rather feeble minded, by the
name of Keith Phillips, was held I'M
der suspicion by some of the County
and City officials, who nearly always
told different story every time he
talked about the matter, and he
claimed to have seen a negro beat
ing the boy. An angry and ugly mob,
who accepted the naked charge as
proof-positive of guilt, formed in
Danville for the express purpose of
lynching the negro. Owing to rare
presence of mind of some of the Of
ficials having charge of the appar-
emily doomed prisoner, by the merest
chance, by the skin of their teeth SO
to speak, the mob was eluded and the
negro was spirited out rear door,
past sentinels, with lights turned out,
and safely conveyed to Lexington,
his life saved and Danville escaped
the awful crime of having >lynched
an innocent and helpless man who
was in the hands of the mighty law
of the land, only because he happen
ed to be accused. The half-witted'
17-year old Phillips boy has made a
complete confession of committing
the crime for which Jenkins came
near losing his life. Lessons such as
the above ought to make al but i'm
