suaded by officers. The negro was
taken to the home of the women and
girls and identified, after which hS
was placed in jail, where he is said
to have confessed to officers.
At dusk, Sheriff Bray, fearing mob
violence, spirited Harris from the Jail,
and attempted to take him to Clark
county jail at Arkadelphia for safe
keeping. When he found all the roads
guarded by men in automobiles, sher-
iff decided to place the negro aboard
Missouri Pacific train No. 8. He board
ed the train with the negro and two
deputies at 1890, and hid the prison
er beneath the seats. Members OF the
masked mob, however, detained the
train until a search was conducted,
when the negro was found The black
was taken to spot about 100 yards
from the depot, and without a word

SEES DRIFT TOWARD LEAGUE
Oscar straus Says the Conference

Leads Up to Our Entry
Asserting that the Washington con-
ference lis the corridor which will
lead to our membership in the League
of Nations" Oscar Straus told Col
umbia students that Roosevelt. Will
son and Harding were the three
statesmen in the past decade who had
the biggest share in bringing the
relationship of nations to the higher
standard of moral obligation"
Mr. Strauss listed the most impor-
tant acts of the disarmament confer
ence as Justifying President Hard
ing's summoning of the conference,
and said he did not consider the plan
of the conference was "to substitute
anything better for the League of
Nations"
Though we are not members of
the League" Mr.. Straus added, II
am voicing the general sentiment in
saying we favor the League and hope
for it's continuance and development
for the better welfare of the so ma
tions who are members of it, and for
the peace of the world. We do not
believe that the Washington confer
ence will in any way weaken the
League, but, on the contrary, will
give it strength, and I, for one, be-
lieve we will yet take our part in the
League under some notifications, and
that the spirit and purposes of the
Washington conference will have it's
effect upon the League so that it will
adapt itself better and make it's work
more practical in safeguarding the
peace of the world" New York

THE PASSING OF SOFT TIMES

A recent writer in New England
paper said recently: 81 saw sign
in a store which is worth shouting
from the housetops. 1T isn't very
classy, but it is mighty expressive
and particularly apropos at this time.
It reads, 'Naw-it amt hard times
coming-it's soft times going Per-
haps that reason is actuating many
persons today in this part Of the
country and elsewhere who cannot
believe, or will not believe that their
soft times are over, and who through
some peculiar reasoning of their own
seem to think it their duty to make
things harder than they really are
1t is in large measure the contrast
between what was and what is that
is making towards and weaklings of
men and women everywhere, who sulk

KILLING WITH KINDNESS

The institutions of the human race
are growing more and more chicken
hearted every year says an exchange.
In other times men who violated laws
were drawn and quartered, burned at
the stake, crucif1ed, garotted, disem-
bowelled, gibbetted, skinned alive,
broken on the rack, guillotined, and
sent to the next world in all sorts of
broken packages. Now we bump them
gently into eternity with a mild
and healing sympathy" The latest
anodyne for the death chamber is
the movies.
Twenty three condemned prisoners
saw a motion picture comedy shown
for half an hour on small screen out
side their cells in the Sing Sing death
house the other afternoon. The OBJ
5ect was to take their thoughts on
the execution of two of them tonight.
Floyd Slower and Harry Givner, the
two about to die, saw the picture.
Warden Lawes and other officials
emphasized that the pictures were not
given to entertain or humor the pris-
oners. Whenever time for an execu-
tiOn draws near, the condemned pris-
oners all worry and have a hard task
restricting their nervous excitement.
It's a great death if you don't
weaken-this dying to the flicker of
the movies.

THE EMBATTLED FARMER

The American farmer is the only
unorganized producer on this contin-
emit. For fifty years he has been try
ing to organize, and generally speak
ing he has made a bad stagger at it.
For some reason he hasn't the cry
stalking quality. He breaks up into
factions, chowds, schisms and cliQueg.
Zach part thinks it has something
better than the whole, and SO the
farmer is left alone in his grandeur.
And everyone gets his goat. Not only
the goat is sacrificed to his divine
desire to be an individual and not a
part of a social crystal, but they get
''his horse, his plow, his sheep, his
cow, his pigs out in the barn, and all
the little chickens in the garden"
The farmer in Kansas is in the DEVILS
own fix. He can't or won't organize,
and unorganized he is in the midst of
organization devoted to it's own ends,
which incidentally and quite uninten-
ti0nally and in good will take the
shirt off the farmer.-Emporia Ca
Sette.

ROBERT GEORGE SIEBECKER


Today Wisconsin mourns. Robert
George Siebecker is dead. The chief
justice Of the supreme court of the
state of Wisconsin died as CALAMITY
as he had lived, going unafraid into
the shadow of the valley.
In this newspaper the life of JUS
tice Siebecker is reviewed by one
who knew him intimately and loved
him well. It is an inspiring story of
integrity and achievement, simply
told Intelligence and courage found
opportunity in industry and integrity,
and achieved success through useful
service. These things are the sinew
Of humanity and the substance of
Christian civilization. If aught that
is human counts, they are high figures
in the score.
Much might be said of the noble
traits and sterling qualities Of JUS
tice Siebecker. We prefer to epito-
mize his person in the characteristic
which most cOnspicuously controlled
his motives and nodded his character.
This was deep sense OF the sanctity
of human rights. With him, men and
women were counted the first consid-
Grafton. Their right to a free road
to happiness with fair competition and
even-handed justice was au-impor-
tant. Magma Charta and the Bill OF
Rights were sacred doctrine to be
read into all constitutions and prac-
ticed by society everywhere. He was
not money-hater. He recognized
property and the rights relating to it,
but he saw in property only the utili-
ties of people. and in property rights
only rules for the application Of
property to human service. Denim did
not deny manhood, or broadcloth
make it. He valued men and WON
en-, not for what they had. but for
what they were. He measured life
not by possessions, but by character
and achievement.
And so it came about that Justice
Siebecker was a wise and Just
judge. He gave character to the
bench and helped make it an instru-
ment Of human progress. His mortal
growth is consummated, but his NOR
al strength and straight vision will
not be entombed. They may be trac-
ed in the Jurisprudence of his country.
and reflected in it's most kindly and
generous political and social thought.
These things that survive the grave
are spiritual requests for the good
uses of those who follow after. So it
is that, with all it's faults, cfviIiza-
ton improves and human life more
fully justifes itself. II we might
choose a wreath to lay upon the bier
Of Justice Siebecker, it would be
woven of things in his life which
make brighter and happier the lives
of others. Garlands of kind thoughts
good deeds and righteous judgments
what better than these to crown a
life of triumphant service. - Magma
Charter.

The death of Mrs. Charles s. Mears
aged 81 years, at Madison a few days
ago, brought forth many things Of
human interest. She was one of the
Oldest women in Madison.
After coming as a young matron in
1856 from New Albany, Ind, where
she was born and where she was mar
ried at II, her home was on the site
Of the present Parkway theater, and
there she and her husband had fine
vineyard and orchard. When con-
struction Of the city hall-now old
and all but ready to be displaced
was begun and their home was
threatened to be overshadoWed by the
great structure, they erected house
on East Gilman street, and there had
been her home since, for more than GA
years. 1t is next to the executive
residence, and since General Ruskes
time the Mears family has been clos
est neighbOr of all Wisconsin COVER
nors.
Mr.. Mears, long an important bust
ness man of the community, died in
1899. AS the leading 1umberman of
his day in Madison, it was he who
supplied the material that went into
the creation of Camp Randall at the
opening of the Civil war.
AS an incident Of her early life she
was wont to tell, how, in girlhood, she

Talk about spuds! A. G.. Glover has
brought this Office a newspaper clip
ping which tells of the crops raised in
Maine. In Aroostook county last
year 100000 acres of potatoes were
planted and the yield was $1,000, 600
bushels. The county raised more
than all the others in the state add
ed together-in fact the total in
Maine was S7,152,900 bushels. Aroo-
stock county also led in the produc-
ton of hay, oats, and wheat. Corn
was the only product in which other
counties scored higher. Mr. Glover
came from the state of Maine and
naturally is interested in the old Pine
state. He may well be proud of q
county that can produce so much.
Mr.. Glover has an interesting &c
count OF Clusters last fight, conclud-
ing with the fate of Major Reno. The
Indian massacre took place in June:
nearly 46 years ago, and was one of
the worst in all American history.
Not man was left Of Clusters band
to tell the story. Afterwards the In
dams gave an account in true In
dian style which was to the effect
they surrounded Custer and kept I'D
a running fire until all were dead.
Why Custer did not make a dash
through the line is not known. Many
of his men would have been killed but
some may have escaped. Perhaps he
thought he could hold his ground
until it was too late. The Indians out
numbered him many times and the
whites were no match for the reds.
Major Reno with other troops was
not far away and just why he did
not go to the aid of Custer was never
fully explained. He heard the firing
but did not move. Reno had been a
hero in the Civil war but in the case
of Custer failed in his duty. was dis
charged from the army, and died in
disgrace.

A recent copy of the Lansing State
Journal contains an interesting &C
count of the Midget troupe, a member
of which is Miss Bertha Reul, daugh-

The troupe appeared, in Richland

pleasure of several Baraboo folks to
witness performance of the little
people and to become personally &C
quainted with them. The Lansing pa
per has the following to say of Miss
Reul: "Her name is Bertha Ruel.
She was born in Baraboo, Wis, the
home of the Ringing Brothers. Ber-
tina is a tumbler, wire walker, a
bareback rider and is the tiny bit of
cuteness who allows an elephant to
