The LASH AS LAW
(Chicago Tribune.)


A half dozen states are upset by
the persistent attempts of citizens
to correct social conditions by fog
ging other citizens, tarring them, ano
even shooting and hanging them. 1t
is not confined to southern states
although some of the worst cases
have been in the south, and there is
no reason to believe that it all comes
out of the Ku Klux, although it's
probably not unfair to say that the
masked riders started it.
The idea persists that on certain
occasions methods outside the law
must be employed by citizens to pre-
vent crime and offenses against
morality. There also is the idea that
groups of citizens are competent to
decide what is a proper mode of life
for others and to force others to COM
ply. We do that by law, and If it's
inconvenient to wait for law or to
enforce a law, we try lash or club.
It's making the mob the king OF
the country.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


O. I have a son who has lost all
of his permanent six year molars
and his teeth are very Irregular, es'
pecially in the front. He is fifteen
years of age. What would you ADVISE
for him.
A. l would advise that you consult
an orthodontic specialist.
@. have bridge that was put
in some time ago. One of the crowns
has a big hole in it. Do l have to
have the bridge removed to repair
the crown? Y. W. 5.
A. That all depends; if the crown
is strong otherwise the tooth can be
filled, if not you will have to have
a new crown. Your dentist will de-
termine which is best.
@. I had a tooth extracted and
the dentist broke it off and left the
roots in. Do you think that I should
have the roots taken out?
o. H. v.
A. Safety First-better out than
in; might cause you some trouble
later.
@. I let my plate fall on the floor
the other day and it broke in several
pieces. What can be done; do I have
to have a new one made?
MRS. D. C. G.
A. You will not have to have a
new one made. Your plate can be
repaired. Go see your dentist about
the matter. ... -s-.,a-.a
@. Is Lavoris a good mouth wash ?
A. Yes. .r.a 49,. ....- -...- e..
@. When the nerve of a tooth has
been taken out and the tooth filled,
why does the tooth ache afterwards ?
I should think that if the nerve is
entirely dead that there would not

THE SHOE PINcHES

In November of last year The APP
peal said editorially "In his fight
against mob violence and lynching
the colored man is but trying to save
the white man from himself"
AS long as it was the black man
being lynched, whipped and burned
the practice was all right. South
erners proclaimed it as the only pro-
lection for the pure white woman
hood of the South. Northerners felt
vaguely that it was too bad, but per-
haps the Southerners knew what they
were doing.
Now the shoe is on another foot
and it is beginning to pinch. White
men and women are being beaten,
driven out of town and lynched
Mobs terrorize white communities
causing white men to tremble and
wonder if they or their women folk
will be the next to be fogged and
robbed. Governors are calling out
militia, proclaiming martial law.
Editors are pointing out the conse-
quences of the lash as the law. Po-
liticians are scratching their heads
and wondering whether federal law
such as the Dyer bill ought not be
enacted. The President of the ma
ton, according to reports, is not lit
tie concerned over the reign of the
mob. 1t makes a difference whose
OK is being gored.
Let the shoe pinch. The harder
it pinches the quicker some remedy
whether it be the Dyer bill or some
other bill-will be found. And
meanwhile, some of the pale face
friends are experiencing the hellish
fear of the knowledge that they are
without the protection of the lava
fear that the Southern black man
lives under all his life.

grew hoarser, and he crouched lower.
All his body except his rigid arms
quivered with a wonderful muscular

To Madeline it seemed the three
stiff, crouching men leaped into in
slant and united action. She saw
streaks of fire-streaks of smoke
Then crashing volley deafened her.
It ceased as quickly. Smoke yelled
the scene. Slowly it drifted away. to
disclose three fallen men, one of
whom, Monty, leaned on his left
hand, a smoking gun in his right. He
watched for a movement from the
other two. 1t did not come. Then,
with a terrible smile, he slid back and
stretched out.

satin vest?"
"He did, my dear, and the very vest

Look at it, if you like"
Betty was looking at the big bed.
"How ever am I to get up there" she
asked. Her nose was on a level with
the billowy height.
For answer Aunt Polly drew a
small, two-stepped ladder from under
the frilly ruff1es of the bed.
"Good-night, DEAR" said Aunt Polly.
''Be sure you pull that silk quilt over
you. hope you sleep WELL"
"How can I help sleeping in this
wonderful roomful of old-fashioned
things?" replied Betty.
First she peeked at the wonderful
satin vest, then she opened the folded
quilt and looked long at the bits Of
silks. "Oh, you wonderful old-fash-
toned things!" she said aloud. "How
beautiful you are!"
"Old-fashioned, indeed!" said a

BETTY'S DREAM

~ GU are going to sleep in the
four-poster I had when 1 was
married. said Aunt Polly, opening the
door to her guest room and holding the
candle so Betty could see, land this
silk quilt is made from pieces of my
dresses and those of many of my
friends when we were all young and
danced as gayly as you do, my dear,
though I dare say you think Uncle
Peter and I are too old-fashioned to
ever have danced"
"Oh, no, indeed!" answered Betty,
as she looked at the pretty bits of
silk in the quilt. II can almost see

De any feeling in the tooth after

be any feeling in the tooth after
wards. MRS. D. H Y.
A. No, my dear reader, there is
not any feeling in the tooth structL
ure after the nerve has been killed,
but there is feeling in the bone, the
membranes and all surrounding tbs
sues, due to infection, which was the
primary cause of extirpating the
nerve. In other words, killing a
nerve does not render the tooth or
teeth free from pain, but in reality
renders it more susceptible to infec-
tion which brings about swelling, red
ness, pain, etc. I suppose you want
to know why killing a nerve makes
tooth more susceptible. 1t is a
known fact that bacteria penetrate
tissue far beyond just the area of de-
cay. So if you have tooth that has
cavity that extends to the nerve it
is almost certain that the nerve is
infected because decay is none other
than rotton, putrescent matter, liter
ally loaded with bacteria. These
kind of teeth have been treated and
filled but nearly 80 out of every hun
dred develop some subsequent infec-
ton such as an abscess, necrosis, etc.
Take my advice and do not permit
your teeth to decay that far.
@. What are the causes of en-
larged joints about the body of
woman years of age?
A. You are probably suffering
from what is known as Arthritis De-
formans, a chronic rheumatic disor-
ded, which develops secondarily to
diseased teeth, tonsi}s, infected gall
bladder or appendix, or some pelvis
infection.
@. Miss D. J. writes: I am "a
years of age, height 5 feet inches,
weight 80 pounds. I feel very weak,
have no energy and I am also ex-
tremely nervous. Kindly tell me what
you think is wrong. !
A. Have your physician give you
thorough examination. You have
symptoms of tuberculosis; then go
to see a dentist and have your mouth
put in good sanitary condition.. free
from all deposits, decay, etc.

Monty made q long pause, in which
his breathing was plainly audible.
Machines eyes were riveted upon
Monty. Her mind, swift as lightning,
had gathered the subtleties In action
and word succeeding his domination
Of the men. Violence, terrible violence,
the thing she had felt, the thing she
had feared, the thingNshe had sought
to eliminate from among her cow
boys, was, after many months, about
to be enacted before her eyes. It had
come at last She had softened Still
well, she had Influenced Nels, she had
changed Stewart but this little black
faced, terrible Monty Price now rose,
as 1t were, out Of his past wild years,
and no power on earth or in heaven
could stay his hand. With eyes SLOW
ly hazing red, she watched him; she
listened with drumming ears; she
waited, slowly sagging against Still
we'll
"Hawe, If you an your dirty pard
hev loved the sound of human voice,
then listen an listen hard" said
Monty. "Fer I've been goin' contrary
to my ole style jest to hev a talk
with you. You all but got away on
your nerve, didn't you? Cause why?
You roll in here like a mad steer an
flash yer badge an talk mean, then
almost bluff away with it. You heerd
all about Miss Hammond's cowboy
outfit stoppin' drinkin' an cussin' an
packin' guns. They've took on re-
ligion an decent livin', an sure they'll
be easy to hobble an drive to Jail.
Have, listen. There was a good an
noble an be-ootiful woman come out
of the East sOmewheres, an she
brought a lot Of sunshine an happi-
ness an new idees into the tough lives
| of cowboys. I reckon it's beyond you
to know what she come to mean to
them. Wal, I'll tell you. They-all went
clean out Of their heads. They-all got
soft an easy an sweet-tempered.
They got so they couldn't kill a coy

Bonita; you come along an face the
lady we fellers honor an love an rev.
erence, an you-you- HIS fret"
With whistling breath, foaming at
the mouth, Monty Price crouched
lower, hands at his hips, and he edged
inch by inch farther out from the
porch, closer to Have and Sneed.
Madeline saw them only in the
blurred fringe Of her sight. They re-
sembled specters. She heard the
shrill whistle of a horse and recog-
nized Majesty calling her from the
corral.
"Thet's ALL" roared Monty, in a
voice now strangling. Lower and low
er he bent, terrible figure of ferocity.

am thinking of benevolent institu-

To what better purpose could one
put his money?
Institutions in which the unfortu-
nate would receive medical and sur
gical treatment, institutions in which
they would receive education and vo-
cational training, institutions in
which they would receive moral and
spiritual culture. What more could
be desired as an opportunity to do
good? 80 .....s.,..

PRESENT STAMPS FOR EXCH
EXCHANGE STAMPS

Although it has been possible to
exchange 1918 War Savings Stamps
for Treasury Savings Certificates at
the local post office since November
Is, 1922, and to redeem them for
cash since january /, 1928, there are
still many people who have over
looked the matter or neglected to
take advantage of the opportunity.
In order to bring this matter to
their attention again. 'ostmaster
White sem out letters recently to all
holders of 1918 war savings stamps
registered at his office, urging them
to present their stamps at once
either for exchange into United
Stases treasury savings certificates
or TO cash.
Unfortunately there is no list of
holders of the unregistered stamps.
The postmaster regrets therefore
that he cannot address his letter to
all holders. He hopes, however,
that such persons may be reached
through the columns of the Evening
News and invites them to call to see
him at their convenience. Only a
few minutes will be required to ex-
change the stamps for treasury saw
fngs certificates, in order to keep
the investment growing, or to re-
deem the stamps for cash.

IzzY AND moe HEARD
NJ J. MAN SAY GUILTY

TRENTON, Feb. 1.-THE name of
John Rockefeller might be good
upon change for anything, but the
mere faces of Izzy Einstein and Moe
Smith, New York's famous dry
agents, are enough, apparently, to
make alleged law v~iolaters shake in
their proverbial shoes.
Ten men were in the federal court
here yesterday charged with various
violations of the Volstead act. Moe
Smith and IzZy Einstein strolled into
the court. Evidently the defendants
sighted the two famous dry raiders.
However it was, as each man was
called before the bar of justice to
plead to the particular charge
against him, he cast one furtiVe
glance over his shoulder and man
aged to emit the one word, guilty"
What Messrs. Smith and Einstein
were in court for, no one seemed to
know.
Among those who pleaded guilty
yesterday were: George Lang, James
Anderson and M. James Mcdonald,
of Atlantic City. charged with pos
session of liquor and the mainten-
ance OF a common nuisance. They
will be sentenced February 10. An
thony Scrufrari, 1853 Broadway,
Bayonne, pleaded guilty to main
tanning a nuisance within the mean
ing of the Volstead act. He will
be sentenced February 5. Patrick
McHugh, of 80 Ocean avenue, Jer-
sey City, entered a plea of guilty to
maintaining a nuisance under the
Volstead act. Albert List, of Wash
ington street, Hoboken, pleaded
guilty to possession Of liquor: An
thony Lucy, of Avenue C, Bayonne,
pleaded guilty to maintaining a nut
sance, as did Albert Buehler, of
west Hoboken. stephen Houaslow-
ski, OF Bernardsville. pleaded guilty
to the possession of implements de-
signed to make intoxicants, and Ed
ward Belli, of Green Knoll. near
SomerviUe, pleaded guilty to pos
session of liquor.
Alfonso CLEMENT, and Ralph Mi
lone, said to operate the Peerless
Meat Market in Jersey City, pleaded
guilty to selling defective meats.
