DEMOTIONS BY
 WHOLESALE VOTED
(CCntinued from page 1)

Continued from page 1.) NoVefnper, 1920, word was conveyed 10 members of the board that an at tempt would be made to use this rule TOT political purposes against the six men promoted in July.
 At the meeting of the new board the vote stood for president: Dave 2, FInnegan 1, and Cassidy 1. In order not to tie up public business one of then oldover members changed his vote and Dawe was elected. Imme- dlately the mayor inquired if any resolutions were to be presented.
 This was the signal for the presen- tat ion Of the resolutions reposing in Commissioner Dawes pocket The hrSt provided for resembling of the ac- ton of the ovember meeting in abol- ishing the rule requiring the service of a six months probationary period. The vote was two for and two against, and the mayor broke the tie by voting for the prepared resolution, the hold over commissioners voting to sustain their own action being in the minor ity.
 The second of the prepared resolu- dons provided for rescinding the ac- ton of the board taken on July s, providing for the promotion of the six men against whom the mayor had been aroused, and that they be de- n, n,oted to their previous positions. The vote again was twu 70 two and the mayor broke the tie. Commissioner Cassidy raised the legal question as to whether the board had the right to reseina She action of last years aar' board. As related abov, an opinion secured from Assistant City Attorney Seeley by the mayor sustained the mayors contention.
 The Mayor made the statement that l the promotions were made for po1iti- 1 cal purposes, but The Times investi- | gation has been unable to develop any political movement behind the | promotions.

 Captain Bye has not been active in politics and his promotion was the
 result of personal interest in his qualifications by Commissioner Cas- sidy. Captain McCarthy's claims were rged by Commissioner Leonard his merits.
 Lieut. Howgate's merits were i'm. pressed on the board by Commissioner
 Primrose and Elmer Fitzgerald's b1 Commissioner Br ennan, but there was no political motive behind either

 MT. Wilson wrote that, Success is the opposite of failure. It is fortune as opposed to misfortune; good as opposed to evil. Some 400 words and phrases in English are needed to de- fine the kinds of success and as a many to describe the kinds of fail ure. He is successful in chess who check mates his opponents king; in battle who wins the victory; in life, who most completely makes good pre- vail. Mankind in the long run rates highest those whom they conceive as having conferred most benefit upon others. The most successful life con- ceivable would be that in which the highest degree of personal happiness would be joined to the highest degree of usefulness to others"
 MT. Root said in his sermon that he felt that what is so much needed today in the United States is the re- statement of the old ideals. Far too much attention is being given to get ting and accommodating rather than to being and becoming, and far too many young people are being led to think that success is how much one has rather in what he is. He said that no man can be think ing of doing evil who has his mind filled with the dominant ideas of the men of old like Joseph. and Daniel and Elijah and Paul.

 ''Then according to your system MT. Ford was very ignorant on ordi- nary subjects but extremely able on others. Is that it?"
 Witness hedged.
 Judge Com1ey on rebuttal asked pr. Gesen if he thought that Wade was a fit subject to allow loose in the community.

THE LYNCHING RECORD
\ MERICA'S LYNCH I N G

A MERICA'S l. Y N c HI N G 1A record-one of the things for which it should hang its head-has now been made up for 1920. There is a bit of en- couragement in the fact that the total number is about a fourth less than for the year be- fore and also that almost as many lynchings were prevent ed as were carried out. It Is also worth noting that four times as many were prevented in the South as in the North.
 There were altogether sixty one persons lynched during 1920 and of this number eight were whites and one was a Negro woman. The record does not bear out the theory that all, or nearly all, of the lynchings are the result of the usual" crime, for less than one-third of those put to death were charged with rape or at tempted rape. One negro was lynched because he insisted on voting. Six were lynched for killing landlords in disputes. While of course no one would attempt to justify the latter crime those who have had ex- perience for the past few years with profiteering landlords can feel something akin to sym pathy for the poor fellows. Two were lynched who had knock ed down the guard, escaped from a chain gang, and then>re- turned, and three were put out of the way for having assisted a fugitive to escape.
 These instances show that it is not murder and rape alone that starts a lynching bee but any cause, even if trivial in it. self, which happens ; to arouse the passions and prejudices of community.
 The number of lynchings by states is as follows: Alabama, seven; Arkansas, one; Califor- nia, three; Florida, seven; Georgia, nine;, Illinois, one .lnsas, one; Kentucky, one ; /Alnnesota, three; Mississippi, seven; Missouri, one; North Carolina, three; Ohio, one; Ok lahoma, three; South Carolina one; Texas, ten; Virginia, one West Virginia, one.

EDITORIAL NOTES

In the old days an occasional stow away was all that was ever heard of. The other day two liners from Italy brought in seventeen apiece. This shows how anxious Italians are to get to America It is said that they will all be sent back b Italy. At any rate they will havesh had a nice voyage and a glimpse of New York and per haps later they will be able to come in proper form and be allowed to stay.
 
 It is to be hoped that some day the public may know the inside facts about the coal situation. Yesterday testimony before the Senate Commit tee showed that last September the government had been compelled to go into the open market and pay a price for coal to heat barracks and hospi- tals which involved profit of two hundred per cent for the sellers. Other testimony showed that the govern ment had paid nine dollars for coal which the average field production cost of was around three dollars It is evident that there is much to be corrected in connection with coal operations

 It is rumored that the mayor would have been satisfied to have left Fitzgerald, Murphy and Blye in their positions and only denoted Hayden, Holgate and Mccarthy, who, he fig ured, were Leonard's men, but some thing slipped and the deal didn't go through.

is for the health, general welfare
and smenity Of the country folks,
and The creation and development Of
local community centers for social
and business purposes.
Committees Of the people them
selves are authorized and with them
must work the state department Of
agriculture, the state conservation
commission, state engineer, college
Of agriculture, highway commission
ard the state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. The more important
duties Of these committee commits
sions are defined as follows:
Secure and retain for the public,
as parks and otherwise, liberal bor-
ders Of timber around lakes.
Provide for attractive driveways
and beautiful places through natural
forests, and improve the general out
lay of highways and driveways.
Plant trees and shrubs, including
ut-bearing trees, along roadsides.
Provide parks and wood-lots in
country, town, village and city.

same as thcss Of the Burnley Tobacco
Growers Association. Contro, Of
both bodies win be in the hands Of
growers at an times. the articles
being so drawn that no one man
can obtain a dominating position
in the affairs of either Of the or
CARNATIONS.
This company win begin opera
tons this week. Low grades and to-
bacco for which prices not salts
factory to the grower are offered
will be turned over to the company
by the farmers. They will receive

pounds Of each grade given to the
company's charge. The tobacco is
turned over to redrying plants in
the Burley belt, redrved and stored,

ing turned over to the company.
These receipts will be negotiable in
all banks that are members Of the
Federal Reserve System.
Enough money to pay the storage
charges on the tobacco held by the
