time in the history Of South

found against the alleged members OF
a mob OF lynchers charged with the
murder of two Negroes.

from Jesup in Wayne County. to
Savannah for safe keeping, having
been previously convicted on o charge
OF criminal assault and under reprieve
from the Governor, when they were
taken from the officers and hanged.
The people OF Librty County were In
censed and at once began making e.
forts to run down the lynchers The
result Is that indictments have been
returned against them with the crime
Of murder Three ofa those indicted
are men OF affairs and one is an Of
ficial.
The fact that those indicted are all
white and that the men lynched were
Negroes is pointed to as making "
clear that the people of this county
and section are determined to main
tain the supremacy of the law

ITATES RIOT.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. SAN ex-
ample of misplaced patriotism almost
caused race riot at Rodney Square
in Wilmington on Tuesday afternoon
when the Marine Band from Washing
ton gave a concert before going out
to Longwood. AS the musical pro-
gram was drawing to a close the ma
tional anthem, the Star Spangled Ban
ner, was given by the band Thousands
of persons in the audience removed
their hats and stood at attention. All
but one, Charles Hall. of 4 Clavmont
street, a Colored lad about twenty
years old. kept his hat on. Charles
does not understand lots of thinga.
His mental equipment is not all that
4 should be. and hence there are
.hings he has not been able to learn
the tune of the Star Spangled Banner
Tor one, and the salute to the flag,
and what patriotism is, and when
to take off his hat. He sees through
a glass darkly. 1t "a not his fault.
but his misfortune that nature failed
to provide him with the full quota of
intelligence
None of these things about Charles
were known to Vincent Gabra, buck
private from Fort Du Pont. Vincent
Vincent believes that the way to show
your love for your country Is to sa-
beat up anybody who does not do
as you do While Vincent stood at
attention he cast a wary eye around
for any Reds, Bolsheviks, or other
foreigners and spied poor luckless
Charles, who in hie dim way was en-
Sc ing the music. Charles hat was
on he back of his head. instead Of
IN his hand. Vincent Gabara's wrath
arose. Should he allow this alien to
disrespect America? Not so. With one
leap, he cleared the space hetwean
himself and the luckless Charles and
knocked him senseless to the pave
ment The Star Spangled Banner was
avenged.
AS Hall fell to the ground uncon-
scious, an Infatuated crowd of mem
bers of has own race closed in on
Vincent and threatened him. His SOL
der companions rushed to his aa-
sistance, and for q short time IT,
looked as IL there would be a full
1ized race riot staged in front of the
Municipal Building. Demands were
made that the soldier be arrested. but
the soldiers commended that Gabara he

there. He was then placed under ar

spring because of them. All Of the
bitches, with the exception of n in
Larimore township which empties
into the Red River or its immediate
territories. H
bitches Arc Necessity.
The peculiar Topography of the
eastern portion of Grand Forks
county makes the construction OF
drainage bitches practically a neces-
sity for farmers in this section, de-
clared Mr.. Ingram. Numerous\coulees,
lying in a finger-like formation, ex-
tending from the higher western por-
ton Nof the county come to- an abrupt
end here, leaving a fiat tableland be-
tween their termination and the Red
river bottom. In the spring. the
freshets fill the coulees. and having no
other outlet, overflow on the table,
land, greatly retarding the planting
season. Construction Of drainage
bitches has been found to successfully
obliterate the difficulty, said the engi-
neer.
The work of completing surveys,
obtaining rights Of way. drawing up
plans and specifications and fulfilling
legal requirements a somewhat
tedious process. has retarded the ac-
tual beginning of construction work
Eto q degree, 1t was stated. Many OF
tho benefited property holders over
whose land the bitches are to be built
reside in remote parts of the country
and the entire past summer has been
spent in obtaining rights of way over
their property.
Method OF Procedure.
The drainage bitches are paid for
by special assessments levied against
the land benefited. No land which is
not directly benefited by the con-
struction Of the bitches is taxed.
Procedure for the construction lis
opened when not less. than six per
cent Of the property holders along the
proposed route file a petition asking
for the Improvement. The petition
goes before the county drainage
board, is investigated, and the PROPOSE
ton either approved or rejected. In
case OF APPROVAL the board then, or
ders the county engineer to make q
survey, draw up plans and specifca-
lions and estimate the cost. When
this information has been furnished
the board calls a hearing of all prop.
erty owners liable for assessment. I,
the property owners believe the estl'
mated cost is in excess of the benefits
which will accrue they may. by a two
thirds vote. have the proceeding!
stopped. otherwise the board pre-
pares an assessment list, showing this
probable amount to be assessed
against each section and subdivision
Of land benefited and then calls al
assessment hearing at which property
holders complaints are heard and an!
necessary adjustments made. Whel
the assessment list Is finally approved
and accepted the contract for the con
struction Of the ditch isVet.

An extensive program for the on

is located in Ferry and Rye townships
and Is liz miles long including four
miles Of lateral bitches running into

$4,000 acres OF, land and was con-
structed at an estimated cost of $21,-

Drainage ditch No. IL, nine miles in
length including one mile Of lateral

cost is $4,000.
The third ditch to be constructed.

The contract for this ditch will also be

will be approximately five miles long
and will serve about 1880 acres,

proximate 1900. Another small
ditch. the fifth Of the contemplated
program, is to be constructed in Lari-

should have the authority to say that
FOR certain dangerous occupations.
children OF certain ages shall not be
hired. The bureau also suggests that
that section Of the present child labor
law by which a child may be allowed
to work at avery tender age because
Of poverty in the home be eliminated
and the child be given its rights for
education and physical growth

tendance. is desirable. and is inclined to
believe that the state department OF
education sh ould have al attendance
officer whose duty It should be to go
to communities where the local Off
GERS have failed to gain the co-opera-
tion<of the parents and help In getting
the attendance for the children who
should attend under the provisions of
the North Dakota laws. The bureau
would also make certain that this OFF,
Ger had an understanding OF his duty
by providing for both education and
experience tests before appointment.
It would have the experience include
someAsocial work. so that the attend
-ance worker would approach the posi-
ton from the viewpoint of interest IN
humanity insteadN Of mcre| enforce
ment of the law. Educational re-
quirements should be at least as high
as that-for second grade professional
certificates under tho present North
Dakota law, according to the belief of
the Bureau representatives.
Failure to attend school, in large
measure. according to the workers Of
the bureau, is due to the demand for
the labor of the child, either. In the
home Or in places where the wages Of
the child will aid in the support of tho
home, and for this reason the bureau
believes that school attendance laws
are the best aid to prevention of early
child labor.
