GOV. MORGAN CRITICISED
FOR FREEING. PRISONER

in West Virginia.

WHEELING W. Va, May o.
Action of Gov. Morgan in pardoning
unconditionally Jack Nolt, convicted
Wheeling murderer. from the state
penitentiary at Moundsville has
raised a storm of criticism in Wheel
ing. t'
Attorney D. "A. Mckee, former pros
ecuting attorney Of Ohio county, who
pressed against Nolt charge OF
first-degree murder for the killing
Of Lee Ritz, Wheeling high school
athlete, in the fall of 1915, virtually
declared in a statement made public
over his own signature that Gov.
Morgan violated the law in pardon
ing Nolt without Nolt's application
for pardon having been published in
II had no notice of the applica-
tion," Mr.. Mckee's statement read,
land the action was taken without
my consent and without my knowl-
edge. There is a requirement of law
that before the governor grants a
pardon notice must be given by pub
lication in a newspaper in the coun-
ty where the prosecution took place.
The law also requires that the prose-
cutting attorney who tried the case,
if living, be consulted with respect
to the petition for the pardon. Neither
of these requisites has been COM
piled with. l am Mortified that the
governor of our state should have
so far forgotten his obligations to
the people,"

SEE REAL: LINCOLN
Photographs Reveal Much Of
Rugged Personality.
Present Generation Need Not, as In
the Case Of Washington, Look
for Character in Portraits. --

Abraham Lincoln remains, and will
remain, one Of the most important
possessions of the common people
everywhere, partly because his rugged
personality is SO difficult for either
writer's or sculptors to standardize.
Fortunate it is for us that he lived
in an age Of Observation-Disclosures
no sensitized plate can reveal the
entire mystery, the camera does not
lie. We are not compelled to foun-
der hopelessly, comparing different
portraits by different painters, as all
must who make the vain endeavor to
get before the eyes Of their minds
what George Washington was like.
The Lincoln who looks out from
the pictures that have come down to
us was caught in moments for which
no solicitous friends had the oppor-
tunity to see that his clothes we're
pressed or that every stray lock Of
hair was plastered down. And so
in his likeness we get something which
has the virtue of being really ''like."
In the National capital there is a
Greek temple Of marble, in Potomac
park. 1t is windowless, surrounded
by Dorlc columns, and is the Lincoln
memorial. But this temple does not

LYNCH BILL WINS,

On January 26 the House passed the
Dyer anti-lynching bill by a vote OF
23O to 119. Seventeen Republicans
joined with 102 Democrats in a vote
against the bill. On the other hand,
Democrats and Meyer London, the
New York Socialist, voted in favor
| of it.
The bill provides life Imprisonment
or lesser penalties for persons who
participate in lynching and for state,
county, and municipal officers who
failed through negligence to prevent
them. 1t also provides that the coun-
ty in which the lynching is done
which results in death, shall forfeit
$4,000 to the family of the victim.
Last week an Oklahoma court found
5 men guilty Of lynching a negro and
they received life Imprisonment. This
is the first conviction of the kind that
the writer has heard of in the South
and the fact that the five men had
lynched non-union negro in the en-
p1oy of packing company probably
accounts for this surprising decision
In a Southern state.
The Democrats declare that the
anti-lynching bill has as it's main pur-
pose the rounding up of the negro
vote for the Republican party. Many
observers predict that the passing OF
the bill in the House will be sufficient
for this purpose and that the senate
will allow it to- die. The reactionary
forces OF America need the race issue
IN the South for support and it is
hardly expected that they will deal q
real effective blow to the llynching
evil. 49, = -. $3.50 ~.

LADD'S BILL VITAL

! Roger BabsOn, Well-knOWn statisti-
cal expert, who maintains service
for large business men on the trend
OF conditions, has sent his wealthy
clients an interesting statement of
! what would happen if a cheap method
or making gold were discovered. T..
According to Mr.. Babson, it would
not make any great difference to
banks as banks, but 1t would result in
the control Of the world passing from
lenders to producers. :
1t is interesting to find Babson max.
ing the assertion as if it were a mat
ter of course that the world at the
present time is now controlled by
lenders. Every effort is generally
made to conceal this fact from the
public and the consequent fact that
these lenders dictate the government
policy of the United States. e..
The great mass of our citizens
would profit if control were to pass
from lenders to producers, because
nearly all of us are producerssin mine,
factory, store or on the farm. Nearly
all those we call business men have
to borrow money from the Tenders
to carry on their business. The pres
emit depression, due to forced delation,
Is q striking example Of the control
of the country by the lenders,
One might well ask why we should
wait for the possibility of making
cheap gold to transfer dominion and
power" from small circle Of multi.
millionaires to the great producing
classes OF the country. The Ladd bill
now before the senate opens a way
for producer independence and power.
II the producers Of the country Wilt
back it up sufficiently to pass it, they
will not have to wait for the bare pos
slbil1ty of discovering cheap gold.

MELLON URGES SALES TAX.

Secretary of Treasury Mellon has
again taken the position opposed to
the soldiers bonus unless it is paid
Tor by means Of sales or consump-
ton tax on the plain people. 4
! He reports that the bonus would
cost not less than $50 million in the
first two years but that it would be
dangerous in the extreme Ito tissue
bonds for this amount or to depend
upon the proceeds from our European
war debt D.
He advanced the point that If any
thing is obtained from this foreign
war debt that It should be applied to
pay off Liberty bond holders. It may.
surprise some that the government
which allowed its bonds to fall away
below par after the plain people had
bought them in such large quantities
should suddenly take so much interest
in these bond holders. The explana-
ton may lie in the fact that the bonds
have been bought up very largely by
financiers - - IT !,
The whole trend of the Mellon ad-
vice, however, is not so much against
the soldier bonus as to create propa.
ganda for the idea that a sales tax Is
the only reasonable method of meet
ing the expense. l. q. +. 3 NJ, ..v..s. =.
