The greatest outbreak and the most
disgraceful scene was at the home of
Mrs. w. j. a. Bartlett. Mrs. Bartlett
says that she and the family were
awakened shortly after midnight by
several explosions. On looking out of
the window gang of men and boys,
numbering possibly a hundred or
more, were seen out in front of the
house. This crowd gained in numbers
until there were nearly two hundred.
The inmates of the house say they
heard the rioters yell get her out,
and 1.-THE old man is away Mr.. Bart
lett is in Chicago attending the ma
tional convention of Elks, and this the
mob apparently knew.
Bomba rdment of Insults and Explos-
Mrs. Baltlett's sister, Miss Cert
rude Jones, went out of the house and
asked the mob not to throw fire crack
ers on the awning, being afraid OF fire.
This request was greeted with boots.
Large fire crackers were continually
thrown on the awning, in the ham
mocks, and at the windows. When
Mrs. Bartlett herself appeared it was
the signal for broadside of insults
such as Mrs. Bartlett said she never
heard before.
False Alarm of Fire Rung
The police were called. Officers
Laird, Gibney and Chandler appeared
but the mob seemed to have no fearof
the bluecoats. Captain Bulger and
Mayor Marcy were also called OF the
telephone and told of the occurrence.
At ]. so someone pulled in an alarm OF
fire from box al at Bugbee corner,
which brought out the fire department
Both trucks were run out, but there
was no fire.
When the alarm was rung IN most
of the mob left the Bartlett home. Be-
fore they left they said they would be
back. A few did return and it was 3
o'clock Monday morning before Mrs.
Bartlett and others in the house dared
go back to bed.
Specials Called Out
Captain Bulger came down at the
ringing Of the fire alarm, as did the
mayor. All Of the special officers
were called out and the mob dispersed.
In speaking Of the affair Captain Bull
ger said that he was surprised and dis
gusted that citizens of this city should
90 so far. He thought that using vile
language and insulting women was
about the ''limit."
Sergeant Laird Hurt
During the mob rule in front Of the
Bartlett home. Sergeant Laird saw
man set off large fire cracker. He
made up his mind to get this fellow
whatever happened, and started for
him. The man ran and as the officer
crossed the Bartlett lawn he tripped
and fell head first to the sidewalk Al
he fell his revolver was discharged ans
later it was found that the bullet hat
torn through the edge Of the sole O
his shoe. The officer was badly shak
en- up and somewhat bruised, but wa
up quickly and after his man, but di
not get him.
Has Received Threats
Mrs. Bartlett says she has receive
many threats Of violence due to he
Putnam patriot., 1920-07-09

For nearly two hours, beginning
hortly after midnight, Sunday, gang
of about 200 more or less intoxicated
hoodlums ran riot in the streets of
Putnam, bombarded the home of Mrs.
w. j. Bartlett with explosives and vile
epithets, held three policemen at bay,
broke into Donahue's drug store and
stole 80 bottles of liquor, rang in a
false alarm of fire from box Al at
Bugbee's corner, and insulted all de-
cent citizens who appeared on the
streets. City officials and law abiding
citizens termed the scene the most dis
graceful ever witnessed in this city.
Plenty of Booze
1t is said that kegs of hard cider
were hidden at convenient places,
back of buildings and up alleys, and it
is also thought that the stolen liquor
fired the brains of the mob beyond
ever seen in Putnam. The
rioters were apparently fearless and
when the word .'poliee" was mem
toned it called for boots, cat calls,
vile epithets and threats. One prom
inent city official. who was called out
by the ringing of the fire alarm, said
that he would never have believed that
there were men and boys in Putnam
who would act in such disgraceful
manner as did this excited gang of
hoodlums early Monday morning
No Violence Used i.
While there was no violence during
the disgraeeful affair, the policemen
called to the scene at the inception of
the trouble feared to act, thinking that
if arrests were attempted 1t would re-
suit in more harm than good. Arrests
may follow later, however II positive
identification of any of the two hun
bred or more participants can be fur

In the larger cities the auto has Gu,

sary to advance fares until street car
riding has become a very expensive

owns the street car system, and il
annually losing money on the invest

cents. That will not be conducive to
Increased patronage of that means OF

The democratic national convention
meets at San Francisco June %, and
it will be highly interesting to note
how the convention is to handle the

in the coming campaign. The conven-

president and refuses to endorse the
league of nations the party is put in an

then a vast number Of democrats will

Bryan, who vas earning a daily sti-
pend reporting the proceedings OF the
republican national convention at Chi
cago for several daily papers, pro-
fessed TO be very well satisfied with
the nominations and declared the
selection made it easy for the demo-
Gratis. This statement was altogether
Bryanesque in following gu, his time
honored habit Of seeing that anything
and everything done by republicans
is just the wrong thing. Mr.. Bryan
would have made exactly the same
statement in exactly the same words
no matter who the republicans would
have nominated, for Mr.. Bryan plays
politics with his cards close to his
vest and is such a buffer that no one
can guess when he has a good hand.

1t is disgusting the way modern
newspaper men slop over in exploiting
every word and action Of candidates
for high offices nowadays. There is
danger OF the republican candidates
being slaughtered in the house Of their
friends by this new idea Of publicity.
The saving feature Of this personal
exploitation is that the candidate of
the other parties will have to suffer
from the same source.

Before going to Ohio, the Hardings
were residents OF Pennsylvania, where
some Of them Were m-assacreed by In
dams. Others fought in the revolution

Phoebe Dickerson. was descended
from an old time Holland Dutch fam
ily. The Van Kinks.
In his youth Warren Harding lived
the life OF a farmer boy attending the
village school until he was at the age
Of Il when he entered the Ohio Cen
trail College Of Iberia. from which he
was graduated As editor OF the COL
lege paper ne first displayed a talent
for journalism He was Obliged to stop

at another painted barns and at still
another drove a team and helped to
grade the road bed of a new railroad.
At Il he taught a district school and
played z horn in the village brass
band.
At odd times he worked in the viii
lage printing office. in time becoming
an expert typesetter and later a limo
type operator. He is a practical press
man and a job printer, and as a make
, up" nan is said to have few equals.
The luck piece he has carried as a
senator is the old printers rule he
used when he was sticking type.
In 1884 Dr.. Harding moved his fam
lily to Marion. A short time afterward
the father purchased for Warren
Harding The Star, then a small paper.
On the paper Warren Harding per-
formed every function from devil TO

been a strike or a threatened one.

state. He is director of a bank and OF
several large manufacturing plants
and is a trustee OF the Trinity Baptist
church.
Mr.. Harding has twice represented
the 9th Senatorial district of Ohio IN

great moral precept, and as such it doubtless had
suggested itself to many minds before Confucius
who died 478 years before the Christian Era Con-
fucius may have been the first to crystalline the
thought in words. But his use of the thought was
quite differently put He put the idea in negative
sense, while the Christ presented it positively; or
perhaps it might be more accurate to say that Con-
fucus presented it Indirectly while Christ enunciat
ed it directly
In Matthew VII-12, Christ rendered the thought:
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do We to them; for this
is the law and the prophets"
In the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Volume VI
Page 912, Doctor James Legge of Corpus Chri9ti

found Confucian scho3rs of the age translates the

doing to others as he would have them do to him.

In details and find this thing was said little diff
ferent, that thing was done little different or
someone else said a thing or did thing, when the
real concern is the truth enuncated the principle

Such critics recall to mind the story of the scof-
fer who was railing at Proverbs. Said he:

savings as are made over the Proverbs of Solomon.
Why. ANYBODY could have made them"

"BLOODLETTING"

In his testimony before the investigating com
mittee of the New York legislature taking testimony
with regard to the loyalty of the five Socialist
bers who have been refused seats, Thomas Hilqust,
one Of the leading lights of Socialism declared that
the aims of that political cult are to acquire power
through the ballot box and he predicted uprising
by the capitalist classes when power is acquired by
that party Mr. Hilqust cited history to sustain his
position.
Without questioning the accuracy of his historic
allusion it seems to ''The Oasis" that Mr. Hiquists
position is hardly tenable. When it comes to. re-
volutionary boodettng, the capitaistic class alone
would stand sorry show in an uprising It is that
part Of the common people that capital can hire to
do boodettng that makes them potent and power
full in the end when it comes to showdown And
usually, when it comes to that, it is counter re-
voluton that capital inspires and finances to do it's
bloodletting. That is how it was after the French
Revolution. The dangerous teaching is teaching the
