At least two of the Fl persons lynched last year
were innocent of any crime and IL others were pos
sibly So according to commission which has studied
each of the cases in which death was inflicted by
mobs. George Fort Milton editor of the Chattanooga
News, is chairman of the commission, whose princi-
pa, conclusions are summarized as follows:
There is real doubt of the guilt of at least half
the victims of mob violence; less than onefourth OF
persons lynched since 1890 have been accused Of
saults upon white women; mob leaders can be identi
fled without difficulty, but are seldom indicted
Mentioning specifically some Of the lynchings
last year the commission said zone man ynched
solely because he had offended political opponents,
and another to prevent his appearance in serious
court case against white men, In five it was not
clear that the mobs got the guilty persons and in six
there doubt to the truth of the charges against
the men lynched"
1t is encouraging to note the marked decrease
lin lynchngs in recent years, however, as compared
with the frghtful prevalence Of mob volenence in
the past Lynching reached it's height in 1892 when
255 persons were killed by mobs Since then it has
steadily decreased the average for the past SIX years
being II year, the lowest number being 10 in 1929
Not until we reduce the lynching record to zero
can lay claim to being entirely civilized people.

big surprise to many citizens. u,
The Sonora Bank, for years one OF the principal
financial institutions Of this city, had many staunch
friends No bank ever had finer more efficient or
more courteous set of officials Each, from the man
ager down. was accommodating and obiging at all
times, and always showed desire to cooperate IN
all worthy enterprises that helped to upbud Nogales
The Nogales International especially was very
fond Of the Sonora Bank and its very capable per
sonnet of officials. This paper purchased from the
bank the building and plant that we now occupy and
operate We mad5 that purchase seven years ago next
January by down payment and SO much month.
Two years ago we made our final payment; Dung
scraping I'D funds to meet our payments we found
the bank always doing everything in its power to as

that most old fogies at the age OF 70 Bruce
Barton nerprets this statement to mean that by the
age of 25 most men have formed permanent preJud-
ices and have closed their minds to al new ideas.
IF this theory be correct, which we do not be-
ieve, there are certainly many striking exceptonS
Many men long past the age mentioned have struck
out into new fields of endeavor and have developed
abilities in later life Of which they gave little promise
in their youth.
AS to the continuance of executive and creative
activities to ripe old age, nnumerable examples may
be cited Consider Oliver Wendell Holiness an active
member Of the Supreme Court at 80; President HIN
lenburg of Germany at "a; Andrew w. Mellon hold
ing one of the most Important CABINET POSITIONS at

short time before his recent death at a. Inc list
might be continued almost indefinitely.
Some former notables who prolonged their &C
tvties far beyond the allotted span the three score

angelo did some of his finest work after he was oO
Clemenceau Whote his memoirs at "a; Tennyson wrote
his lyric masterpiece, Crossing the Bar after he
was 80; Goethe completed Faust at about the same
age.
