The Real Criminal

2 There is no need to become excited hysteri- Sal attempt being made in Chicago to op- str1et highway construction in Marcopa county The county highway commission is not excited, the board of supervisors hysterica the contractors Are not disturbed Everything will go along just as absurd and despicable action had not been taken. There will be delay.
 < Of course. the thing is not to be allowed to go hy default Every necessary step will be taken to n1eet this attack it has been met the next thing will be to find punish the aarties who have guilty of treachery against the county.
 / We do not mean that time energy should be wasted punishment of the tools, but the peo- Ise who have made of these tools Of one thing te everybody else in the county are absolutely eerain and that is plaintiff in this action Is not acting on motion or at his own ex- pnnse. We know he could afford the expense and that he could have financial interest in the phving program that would warrant such an expen- allure he financially able to make it.
 Somebody yet in concealment, then has in- terest in holding up county road building sFam-somebod that has either financial interest in stopping that work somebody that would want te stop for spite and has the money with which to gratify his spite. This suit will cost the people behind the plaintiff thousands of dollars in travelling expenses attorneys fees and ppnses.
 Who have such interest such a Spite? Certainly there is farmer in this county who wants road building stopped; merchant, Business man. civic body; association All have wanted the program completed with as little delay as possible. Who it then be, of cit zens, against the wish of all the rest of the people?

It is the business of the community to this 1nt will be found out, and then, the punish nnent, the ostracism, the blow at the offenders pocietbooI where If the traitor to the niunity should to be a rival contractor epntracng firm, it should be decreed that never in tue development of the community the city the c6unty should he enjoy another contract
 All this be easily arranged, and no ostra- eism too long maintained There was before such attempt and such a less one against the upbuilding of the community. The crime for whose punishment make this sug- gestion is unforgivable

Saturday. June 26

Washington June 25-The report of the recent examination at West Point has reached the adjutant general in the case of Whitaker. The report recom- mends that as he was found deficient in his studies and having for two years been in the same class, he be dis missed The report has been received by Secretary Ramsey who suspended the recommendation Of the board that Whitaker be dropped on account Of deficiency in his studies. This will give him an opportunity to demand court martial in his case. If he should be dismissed now he would have no chance of being further heard. (Whittalxer was a colored appointee 10 the military academy. His presence there was resented by many of the white cadets and he was made the vic tim of the most brutal hazing in the history of the academy. This affair found its way into congress and re- suited in the expulsion from West Point of some of Whittaker's assail- ants.)

Mir. MeAdoo and His Insis.ent Friends

We believe that when MT. McAdoo known that he candidate the democratic presi- dential nomination and requested that his name be not presented to the convention he earnest and had fully determined be a candidate We do not think that he be induced o reconsider that determination.
 Though if he had made declaration believe that he could have secured the nomination. and per haps could do if it. we do not believe 1t will be possible to force a nomination upon him even if the convention believed he might accept it. No doubt there will be many delegates in that con vention as there in every convention. who would rather reluctantly out the their con stituents Such delegates who would support Mr. Me Adoo if he were candidate will gladly embrace the opportunity he has given them some other candidate.
 And then too, there is Mir. Bryan who is hostile to Mr. McAdoo in the sense that he wants another nominee, and Mir Bryan in a convention with two thirds rule is apt to be a determining factor not perhaps in making q nomination, but in deciding who shall not be nominated.

 Negroes Suffer Most
 Negroes in this country have a stronger case than the aliens against American mob law A witness at the hearing on the -lynching bill put the situation forcibly when he said: How can you expect to breed an orderly. law abiding citiZenry. when 12.000. 900 of it's people live continually in fear of bodily violence, when they see yearly from 70 to 100 of their own people burned and murdered by mobs -mobs often composed of nearly the whole community and no organized effort on the part of the body polite to correct it?"
 Colored people have since the Civil war been the most frequent victims of mob violence. At first the outbreaks l in southern states were declared justi 1 fled on the grounds that the persons put to death by the mobs had attacked women, and southern honor demand l reparation. Soon, however, mobs be- gan to seize negro prisoners awaiting 1 trial for any offense whatsoever. In
 some cases, the prisoners innocence was proved after he had been slaugh- l tered in an orgy of violence. Some l times the courts took a case up in an
 attempt at meting out justice to the i lynching party. but nobody could ever 1 be found who remembered any partici- pant in an affair and the court had l to dismiss the incident as a mystery. ! Tn recent years only 19 Der cent of the persons lynched have been ac- 1 cused of violence against women. But,
 no matter what the charge. lynching 1 is in direct opposition to the prin-
 ciples of American government. Tn no
 section of the country is lawless kill
 ing any longer defended. The gov
 ernor of Georgia, where lynching bees
 are most frequent. is strongly opposed
 to mob violence, while the anti-lynch-
 ing bill begore congress was drafted
 by Representative Dyer of Missouri, the
 state listed next to Georgia in ire quency of lynchings.
 Law Makes Lynchine Murder The bill presented by Representative
 Dyer provides that any person involved
 in removal of a prisoner from custody
 of an officer of the law will be heavily ; fined If a person is killed at the
 hands of a mob of three or more in dividuals, all concerned will be re- garded as guilty of murder and tried ! on this charge in the federai courts l Furthermore, in every case of unlaW- ? full killing by a mob. the county il . which the lynching occurs and every . county through which the victim 1. carried must forfeit $10.000 q fine ! Other provisions further secure th' r safety of prisoners, notably one whicl , allows a prisoner to demand a trans : fer from state to federal Jurisdiction s if there is danger of an attack on hi S person. Inability of states to cop' l with Iynching is nationwide. Ever - where states have their own law r against mob attacks. and even wheI | lynchings are announced several day

By Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IA bill to prevent lynching is now on the house calendar. The bill may not be considered before congress recesses, but eventually it stands a good chance of becoming a law For the first time in our history, congress seems really determined to have lynching put in the same class with murder and treated accordingly.
 Eighty-five people were hanged shot. or burned at the stake in the civilized United States last year. and this year similar atrocities are accu- mulating as rapidly. In the past 30 years, $500 persons have died at the hands of infuriated mobs. and not more than a half dozen of the offenders were ever fined or imprisoned.
 When Chinese, MeXicans and other foreigners know that they are in dan- ger of death by violence if they offend the people of their neighborhood, it is no wonder that abroad America has a reputation of being a land where life is beset with hazards. Ever since the days when Tory sympathizers were tarred and feathered and then ordered to salute the Colonial colorS, lynching has been named by foreigners as one Of the typical American sports, like bull fighting in Spain. America, they say. is d wild country. 1t makes a treaty with another nation in which it's people in America are promised the same protection of law as the Ameri- cans have. But if those people come to. be disliked for their religion or na- tionaiity, they are quite likely to be seized by their neighbors and put to death.
 Foreigners Not Safe Here
 As one witness before the judiciary committee of the house remarked: "It is not surprising that Mexico refu ses to get excited over the fact that few Americans are killed in her revolutions Was not a Mexican subject hung by Americans in California and another 1T Texas in 1893? Or to come down to recent times. were not 25 MeXicans lvnched in one state in 1917. and two more last year. and nothing was done 10 bring the persons responsible tC justice?"
 This witness said that when in Tur key he heard a Turk deliver a lectur' on America in which pictures of lynch ings were used to show that AmericS is not a civilized nation.
 Unfortunately. these accusation that Americans lapse frequently into state of barbarity are fully supported by facts Since 1891. we have paid ou over SS00.000 to Mexico, China ant Furopean countries for attacks ol their subjects by American mobs- Tn state department now hae before if un adjusted claims for deaths of Italians Austrians Greeks and Japanese.
 The usual procedure is for the Itaiial ambassador, for instance. to call ou attention to the fact that three Italia vorkmen were hung to a tree in ger tain state. The state department wait several months and then expresses ft sorrow and explains that the Unite States government leaves responsibil ifN for such affairs as lynchings in tn hands of the state governments.S Bu

All high way laws may not be administered by comnlis sions but that is no argument against commissions. Because and then a roof leaks in rainy weather is not good why houses should have roofs
 A commission is a body of divided authority. It is one which of division there is deci sive majority. that foolish argument against highway department bill is sound and wise as any has yet advanced.

 There came day when he could longer work and soon afterward the was la id m ast lnthe earth he had loved and worked in so long
 Ills three sons were amazed the reading of his will: .'l bequeath to my three sons my olive or chard and equal shares in the treasure that lies buried therein" They exclaimed over it and agreed that they must dig for the 1t be stolen
 They dug up the soil around and between all the trees They could not find the treasure But their crop was greater than before. The olive trees pore such a harvest that each son received from, their sale a sum that a fortune
 While they had worked they had learned rnuc1 ana they suddenly what the treasure really was Moreover, digging up the orchard had brought then, more than money; it had brought them hanniness and health. They what a good and wise f.t1,or they had and were proud be his sons Year after year they continued To dig the orchard mover failed to yield its treasures Their nefehbors ,,ro did not dig around their trees continued to h we 1te poor crops before.

SOVIET PROBLEM IS
PERPLEX|NC ITALY
Government Opens Negotiations
With Workers Who Have Seized
Metal Industries.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Rome, Sept. 7-{Havas)-The en-
ployes IN metal factories which have
been seized by workmen IN the present
contest of conditions in this industry
have been gwen FIVE days in which 10
comply with the working mems demands
according to a resolution passed by the
Socialist members of the general confeder-
alton of labor. Should the employers fail
10 yield, rapid movement toward general
naturalization is threatened. So far the
man ufacturers are persis ting In their
decision not 10 enter into direct negotia-
tions with the workers before the latter
evacuate the factories.
Rome, Sept 6.-Government officials
will open negotiations with the general
industrial conference at Milan on Thurs
day with q view TO solving the problem
presented by the seizure by workers Of
metal factories throughout Italy.
1t Is estimated that 400 of the largest
metal works in Italy have been occupied
by mechanics and workers and the move
ment is still expanding, threatening to ex-
tend to extreme southern end of the penin-
sula. Elaborate steps have been taken by
the government to preserve order during
the period when a general offensive
against all industries is threatened.
Manufacturers declare that the wage
increases demanded by the 100000 metal
workers employed by them would add at
least / 900 100000 lire to their payroll
and that this burden could not be sus-
tanned.
Two members Of the ministry viii go
to Milan and it is hoped the general in
dustrial conference will take early ac-
ton on their suggestions. II this action
should be favorable it would mean the
end of the agitation for the occupation
of pants.
Strikers in this city believed last night
that an effort would be made by the police
to take possession of some plants that had
been occupied by workers. They sounded
an alarm with sirens and Immediately
crowds of women and children rushed to
the occupied plants TO join relatives.
This, according to the police, appears to
indicate the strikers have agreed, in case
of an attack upon them, to protect them
selves by the presence of women and
children.
In some plants near Turin the workers
have broken open the safes and taken
money to pay the wages they claim are
due them, says a dispatch to the Tri-
bunal. AT the Fiat automobile work
strong boxes have been rifed and docu-
ments and correspondence have been
taken, the newspaper says Altogether
I4O Turin factories which employ thou
sands of workers are ig the hands of the
men.
Upon receiving orders from their union
striking metal workers at Milan have
released engineers who had been kept as
hostages.
