The folly of a few men, madden
cd for the moment by spirit of re
yenge, seeking the life OF a miser-
able creature at that very instant
condemned to die for his crime,
compelled the servants of the law
10 fire upon mob in Lexington
Monday morning.
The majesty of the law was up
neld, but at frightful cost AT
this writing death has claimed FIVE
victims and some twenty other
persons carry bullet wounds of a
more or less serious nature.
That innocent persons suffered
from the rashness OF foolhardy men
who took no notice Of warnings Civ
en- that armed resistance would be
net by armed resistance, is most
deplorable.
That men reared in a i3ad hat
is law-abiding, confronted by grim
5entinels wearing all the habili-
ments Of war and backed BY dead
~ engines of destruction, would be
so foolish as to forget their own
safety and the safety OF thousands
OF their fellow citizens and attempt
to oyerturn all of the forces be-
fore them, is one of those myster-
les which no student of human ma
ture can unravel
The tragedy carries its own com
'nent. Nothing could be said here
that could add 70 the horror, the
grew someness OF the picture. 1t
vas merely another evidence that
iatent in mankind are primal pas
sions which, once aroused bark
back 10 the days of savagery. APP
Iaa to reason, fear OF death, the
cries OF the bereayed. emblems OF
force and authority are deadly
missilas, lend no influence, form
no barriers. Down, dowa they go
into the mire of lawlessness and
misery, under the rough-shod heels
OF nea who for the moment know
no reason
THESE Things have been happen
ing, in one form or another, since
time began Il is easy TO say that
had this or that tean done there
would have been no lives lost in
Lexington on Monday. And yet
with precautions founded upon the
experiences of ore day, new mobs
found new ways of spreading ter
ror and causing hIoodshed.
Full warning had been given
From press and pulpit and out OF
the mouths Of men responsible for
maintaining order it was declared
that the law would be upheld an
Justice guarded. L was stated that
men with guns would be on hand
that if the orderly processes of the
courts we're actually threatened

There is this consolation It
might have been worse Let us bg
thankful for that

LAZY STRIKES"
IN JAPAN,

Japan is having good deal of
labor trouble at this time, and as
might be expected, she has devel-
oped something new in the way of
strikes. They are referred to as
lazy strikes" but as a matter Of
fact they are not strikes at all. in
the sense that the men do not walk
out OF a shop or give up employ
ment. They simply loaf on the job.
IN one great factory all of the en-
Dloyes showed up on Monday morn

places at the benches, and pretend

HARDING IN SUPPORT OF
 DEVELOPMENT OF WES1

Marion. Ohio, Aug. 31.-The Roosevelt policy of conservation to develop the west and insure an adequate food supply was advocated by Senator Harding here today in a speech ts delegation of republi can governors. He also suggested that many soldiers of the great war might be provided homes in the undeveloped west ern country and declared the duties of reclamation and development rested both on federal and state authorities and on public as well as private financing.
 Governor Lowden of Illinois was the spokesman of the delegation and prais- ed the dignity of self-restraint" with which the senator had conducted his campaign. He also voiced a hope that republican victory would insure fuller measure of cooperation between the fed eral and state governments, and in re- sponse Senator Harding pledged himself to exert his influence to prevent "en- croachments on the several states of the Union"
 Drawing an analogy between present conditions and those following the Civil war, the nominee declared his conviction that many former soldiers would be glad to help open the unsettled regions of the | west as a reward for their service to 1 their country.
