Society Gush.

The big metropolitan papers make
fun Of the eoentry paper, with its per
sonals about Farmer Smith, who has
Just painted his barn, and the small
city dailies, with their many letters
from neighboring villages. Then they
print columns of silly detail regarding
the social higher-ups.
Every Sunday the society editors
dwell lovingly upon the costume of
Miss Jones, with her white satin and
irridescent sequins, Miss Smith, with
her apricot chiffon taffeta with silver
lace and morning glories, Mrs. Robin
son, with her gown of lavender net, and
girdle of pale pink and blue ribbon. etc
The absurd thing about metropolitan
journalism is that il picks out some
narrow circle of the alleged Four Hun
dred. calls il society records its do
ings with obsequious detail Mean
while the mass of hard working people
are ignored unless they get into the
police court.
When YOU read that Farmer Smith
has painted his barn. you learn that
has been done to improve
the community and put il on a better
economic basis. Ii Is worth mention
ing. and Farmer Smith should have his
picture IN the paper
But when you read how the Four
are parading around in their
larty clothes. YOU read about some
hing that is of no benefit TO the com
nunity, and much of which represents
mere extravagant spending. 1t is of no
more significance that Mrs. Gotrox has
new party dress. than that Mrs. Corn
asset has new checkered apron. Both
re equally worthy of being mentioned
n the newspaper. Also Mrs. Corntassel
$ doing good work with the apron,
,hile Mrs Gotrox may be wasting her
husbands money.
Wherefore il YOU want TO get real |
ustic provincialism. buy big metro
olitan Sunday newspaper, and read its

Little Rhoy's Last Ditch.

The lawyers representing the state of
Rhode Island may now bring all their
( skill and learning to bear in arguing
against the validity of the 18th amend
ment before the United States supreme
! court Everyone viii be glad that the
court has granted them hearing. The
lth amendment has gone into effect !:
the executive branch of the government

nullify il, the notification would be
unprecedented in our history.

meal. To nullify constitutional
amendment would be a serious thing
for the court TO undertake, and the
Judges would naturally desire to make
! their position as strong as possible
Rhode Islands lawyers present 9th
er reasons for the courts consideration.
The amendment. they allege. violates
the fifth amendment providing that no
person shall be deprived of his prop
erty without due process Of law. For
90 years, however, certain states have
deprived the owners OF distilleries,
breweries, and saloons of their proper
fy in spite of the same inhibition con
tanned in the l4th amendment, and
those states have never been restrained
by the United States supreme court
As Mr.. Taft has said, persons engaged
in the liquor trade have operated their
business under a warning for the past
half century that they could not hope
for compensation in case prohibition
should be established.
The Rhode Island lawyers also. stress
the point that the 18th amendment Is
an Interference with the police pow
ers of the several states and is there
fore invalid. These powers are as
sumed TO be guaranteed so that they
could never be curtailed, even by new
constitutional amendment, unless the
consent of every state were obtained |
There is clause in the constitution |
an inhibition of this charac- |
ter. Article declares that no state. |
without its consent, shall be deprived |
of its equal suffrage in the Senate. |

N. Brough and large parties of civil
officers and possemen from nearby
towns, arrived here early to-day to
take charge of race situation arising
from an alleged attack on deputy
sheriff by armed negroes near here late
yesterday.
Although apprehensive, local civil Of
fieials said they were of the opinion
that the trouble would be confined to
the negro district.
The disturbance Is reported to have
started when J. H. Breedlove, a deputy
sheriff, and two white companions went
into the negro settlement to arrest
negro charged with stealing hogs
Armed negroes, it was said, demanded
the prisoners release, and when Breed
love refused, opened fire. Breedlove
returned the fire. and with his compan-
ions withdrew to obtain reinforce
ments.
Shortly after the shooting wires lead
ing from Dumas to the negro settle
ment were cut.
Dumas is village of 500 inhabitants
in the southeastern part of the state,
on the Mississippi line. The district
where the trouble took place is iso-
lated and the only white residents are
planters and their families and a few
crews OF small sawmils The negroes

Oleomargarine a Food Factor.

fat, or rather mixture of fat, so that

INVESTIGATION
OASHATBUIT
NINE UNDER WAY
Fourteen Men Reported In
jured in Gun Battle. Dur
ing Mine Strike.

Butte. Mont, April 22.-City and
county authorities were investigating
today a clash later yesterday near the
Neversweat mine here in which "a
men were shot, two being seriously
wounded. Most of the others were said
to be pickets placed about the mine
following the calling of a strike Sun
day by the Metal Mine Workers union
to enforce demands including a wage
of 81 for a six hour day and release
of "all political prisoners"
The shooting began, according to
Sheriff John K. O'Rourke. while he
and a force of deputies were attemptr
ing to dispense a crowd which had
gathered at the gates of the stockade
about the mine. At the tinDe. the sher-
if said, several heated arguments were
in nrogress.
The first shot, the sheriff said, was
fired from a window of a nearby
boarding house and narrowly missed a
deputy sheriff. Immediately afterward
he said. 'shots were fired in all direc-
tons" ,
He added hat his deputies inform-
ed him that two men were firing from
the window of the boarding house in
to the crowd, which quickly dispersed.
Both police officers and the sheriff
der"ttes asserted they fired no shots.
The shooting was followed by ap-
pearance on the streets of an extra
edition of a newspaper calling upon
all workers in the county to LAY
down their tools and stop the wheels
of industry" as a protest against the
shooting of pickets. Speakers at a
mass meeting last night were quoted
as urging their hearers to "arm your-
selves in self Defense"
The sheriff last night swore in many
special DEPUTIES.
