Senator Kendrick’s personal organ at Sheridan should not become petulant because Republican news- papers about the state have discovered something more in his recent Sheridan address before the com- mercial club than mere felicitation. Neither could it be regarded as profitable at this time to drag into the discussion anything so dead and smelly as the Versailles treaty. Senator Kendrick, himself, is too good a sports- man to pout or maké faces when another marksman hits the bullseye. Everybody knows and everybody accepts it as a fact that Mr. Kendrick desires to succeed himself, and will employ all honorable means at command to realize his ambition. His bid for Republican support! at this time is not deemed too early in a campaign which occurs next year for politics knows no adjourn- ment. There is no holiday or recess until retirement, voluntary or involuntary, occurs. There is no particular criticism of Mr. Kendrick, in either taste or occasion, to say at an extraordinary session of a commercial club that he would place no stumbling block in the path of the Harding adminis- tration nor would he obstruct the smooth operation of the senate machine from his station on the minority side. Such action from him would be entirely con- trary to expectation. It would be neither his char- acter nor his inclination and John B. runs true to form. That may explain why Republican newspa- pers have ascribed political motives to the senator’s attitude: It is the regular every day business of Republican newspapers stationed upon the walls of the citadel to give the alarm at the approach of one with whom we are at enmity who seeks to present us with a large wooden percheron. We should be remiss in our duty as sentinels, and could never hope for pardon, did we not inspect and examine minutely the gifts of Greek origin. The senator's newspaper may have the privilege of withdrawing the unkind allusions to senators of our creed who “placed partisanship above duty,” since the interpretation of “duty” as gathered from the senator’s newspaper means obeying the dictates of Woodrow Wilson. That definition of the word has been expunged from the bright lexicon of our af-|ardous occupation, for postal men are to be supplied fairs by a surplus of something like seven million folks, who insist that “duty” does not imply, in their accepted definition, violence to one’s conscience, stultification or faithlessness to the land of the free and the home of the brave. a0. A LIGHT IN THE SOUTHLAND. A most significant thing has occurred in Georgia. A white land owner of. wealth and prominence has been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his colored peons. Convicted too by a jury of his peers all of his own race. It might be asked, what makes a proceeding of this sort so unusual? Is not murder ordinarily punished by courts and ju- ries? It-has not been under certain circumstances in some of the southern states. The Georgia case is the first one in that state wherein the victim was colored and the murderer white, so far as can be proved by any record at hand. Georgia has not been unique heretofore but she is now. Is it an awakening to a belated sense of justice? Does it mean the beginning of a solution of the race problem, which has been the one situation around which all else has revolved in the south since the days of the Civil war. The present case is not an accident in any sense. It is the deliberate act of a group of white men sworn to do their duty, under the law, and avenge a crime against black men. Nothing could be more de- liberate. Their intention is plainly written in their verdict. If this is to be the rule in the southland now or in the future, the patience and forbearance of the col- ored race has brought a new era and its status is to be as well defined as it is in the north. Whatever it may mean, there is at least hope and promise of justice. mh ta oh GET RIGHT AND STAY RIGHT. With no intent to harass business, to meddle, or seek to regulate legitimate affairs; but sounding the warning of a new day and a new way, Attorney Gen- eral Dougherty tells business to get right and stay right. MTlegal practices, especially those involving profiteering, are in no sense immune. ° Certain clauses of the Lever act have gone to the discard, but the Sherman law remains potent and affords punishment for all who have need of mending their ways. The laws will be upheld, to the limit of the power of the department of justice, and no one need hope to escape by laxness in inquiry and prosecution. The rottenness in the building trades and the prof- iteering in materials called forth the attorney gen- eral’s announcement as he ordered searching investi- gation into conditons at many of the large centers throughout the country. STAGNATION IN COAL. the national coal sitdation from its cen- ation the Indianapolis News expresses Review of coal. Whatever may lie below the surface, there | are three pretty evident reasons for this state of af-| fairs—the mild winter, the slump in business and the price of coal. The mild winter has enabled domestic! users who buy from time to time to spread thete times further apart, and those who ordinarily have to sup-| plement their winter supply a$ about this season have enough coal to carry them through. ‘The business slump has caused an enormous decrease in **~ cor:- mercial and industrial use of coal, “nd this -,fua! has reacted on the railroads in a leex*ne% demand ** coal-consuming train service. T..re “x vndoubtes- ly been a large decrease in the productior. of :coa) but ‘there has also been a large decrease,in its con} sumption, so that it is evident that the shortage that} would appear from conte.nplatirg the production alone cannot appear to be so g:eat when the decrease in consumption js takeu into consideration.” Richmond, Missouri, a rock-ribbed and eternal} Democratic stronghold for the one ezndred years of! its existence has just elected a Repubhcan mayor and four other city officials out of a list of eleven. Soe EE BBE EIT NE RS FREIGHT RATES AND BUSINESS. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and former vice-president and general man- ager of the Burlington system, says: “I have personally asked many large manufactur-/ ers and shippers of goods what effect it would have upon their shipments at the present moment if freight charges were cancelled altogether, and if the rail- roads would move the tonnage offered free of charge. “Invariably the answer has been that it would practically make no difference at all in the volume of , business because people were not buying at the pres- “lent time.” The railroads emerged from the war period with rigid-rates,and wages both largely determined by war conditions. On the Tate structure of 1914 haye been imposed. three flat percentage increases. | This was done in an attempt to increase railroad revenue in an amount sufficient to meet rising costs of operation including a payroll which increased from $1,180,000,000 at the beginning of the war to $3,- 800,000,000 in 1920. ’ The main effort of the railroads at the present: time is to deflate the cost of operation. ! But even under present conditions it is a fact that) freight rates in relation to prices of nearly all com-} modities dre lower than they were in 1914. In other words rail transportation cost today represents a) smaller percentage of average selling than in 1914. | Freight rates cannot come down in advance of 2| reduction in offtrating expenses which at the present| time absorb practically the entire revenue of the roads as a whole. eee My RE eR THE REMOTENESS OF CONFLACT. | Earl Grey, former ambassador to the United States,| FPN eS in the favorite pastime of the day, discuss- ing the probabilities of war between one ‘country and another, believes that there would be little pleasure or interest in living in the world should war arise be- tween the United States and Great Britain, He de- plores the present lack of cordiality between the two powers, but frankly admits that sincere friendly rela- tions cannot exist so long as Irish affairs remain as they are. Dismissing war as “unthinkable” or “inconceiy- able” does not dispose of the contingency in the ma- jority of cases, but in the case of the United States and Britain, both of whom regard a solemn treaty as something more than a scrap of paper, there are thoughtful and farseeing men in both nations who realize the uncertainties of peoples and have there- fore long since formulated a treaty that. practically makes war impossible, Under it the two:governments agree in case of dispute to resort to,a,commission to investigate and report and recommend a settlement; and at least a year’s time must elapse before a breach of the peace can take place. « Where the honor of two nations is pledged and treaty provisions will be observed as as in this case they will be, there will be no war. The “unthink- able”. and “inconceivable” thing will not occur. THOUGHT SO. We did not think Will Hays would remain patient very long under the depredations committed upon the United States mail service. He is going to make} it an unsafe enterprise to steal a registered pouch and do his best to deliver valuable mail safely to the proper recipient, if he needs must fill several church yards while so doing. Mail robbery in future may be classed as a haz- with arms and instructions to shoot. In addition pos- tal employes are all eligible to a prize of five thou- sand bucks for bringing in a mail robber. The old Wells-Fargo and Pony Express days are to be revived and the sawed off shot-gun will now fig-| ure prominently and the honor of the service will be upheld even if it requires the assistance of the whole, United States army to deliver your postal cards. “Depredations must stop,” says Mr. Hays, and you know what that means when Will Hays says it. en ON THE MOVE. The Japanese are disturbing world stability be- cause they are on the move, remarks the Chicago Tribune. They have to be on the move, because there are too many of them at home. In an area less than the, size of Texas there are about 58,000,000 Japanese. With Korea, Formosa and Saghalin added, the popu- lation of the Japanese empire is more than 78,000,000. It is a population which increases rapidly year by sable. That is why the Japanese are in Hawaii and the islands of the Pacific. That is why they are in Siberia and California, and why they would like to be in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, A warlike, intelligent, industrious people are living on a meager diet in cramped conditions and are not} subsisting the way an adventurous and courageous people want to subs! POSES ON THE RIGHTS OF BOOZE. A federal court has held, says the Los Angeles Times, that the Volstead act merely supersedes the old internal revenue laws and declares that the illegal sale or disposition of any portion of a stock of liquor does not justify the seizure of the whole stock. Il. this should be sustained, the government might be sued for a few billion dollars’ damages for booze that revenue officers and others have destroyed. At this rate some of our most energetic bootleggers could only de deprived of the bottle they had in hand for dis- posal. A man who has a large private stock could also accommodate his friends without imperiling his whole supply. Always thought that this pouring the stuff in the gutter and smashing it by the barrel would have a comeback somewhere. (2S EEN RR Se CURFEW NOT RINGING.
