What is true in Chicago is true in equal or lesser degree in many other parts of the country respecting the delayed punishment of clearly proven murder, be cause of the twistings, pastponements and technic- alities in the practice in American courts. Review- ing the most notable of recent murder cases the Ch: cago ‘Iribune sounds an alarm for the safety of every American community evidence in the court proceed- ings of the cases cited. The Tribune says: “Carl Wanderer murdered -his wif: her unborn child, and the ‘ragged stranger’ June 21, 1920. “He was tried twice and his execution set for Apri 16 last. He was given a third triat—on the issue > his sanity—in July. He was found sane, but before the moment of his execution Governor Small, on the petition of Illinois Department Commander W. &. Me- Cauley of the American Legion, reprieved him and he is now awaiting another trial. “When .Wanderer’s cold blooded crime became known the public :conscienc+ revolted and no one doubted he should and would pay the extreme pen- alty. No one being’ capable’of such’a crime as Wan- derer’s should live. “But time and the strange machinery of our ad- ministration of justice leave him unscathed. “The public forgets. “A month earlier than; Wanderer’s crime @en« Geary, a notorious gunman, killed Harry Reckas, a man unknown to him, in‘ saloon shooting. Three months before Geary had been/ acquitted of killing a taxi driver. He had been in many shooting affrays but he had escaped justice each time, : “This time public opinion was roused. No’ ‘ort doubted such a crime as Geary’s: would be punished with the extreme penalty. No one doubted that such a man ought not to live. “Two months after the killing Geary was tried found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. That wa: a@ year ago last July. “Geary has not been hanged. He has been tried since, on the issue of sanity, and found sane. He is being tried a second time on the same issue today. “Meantime the public interest has diedgdown. But it is burning hot and bright over a new crime, the kill- ing of Daugherty and Ausmus. “This is another slaughter, deliberate, cold blooded callous, wantonly cruel. To call it brutish would slander the brutes. Public indignation is real. It de mands justice upon the criminals. The police and the state’s attorney’s office have acted with promptness and vigor. Two of the believed perpetrators have made confessions. A third may be in custody before these lines are read. Indictment and trial will be pressed. Within two months perhaps the guilty may be sentenced. “But what then? How man; trials will follow? How many twistings and turnings and long delays? “And meantime the public will forget. “Justice has been made a farce in this community. Murder, even of the most atrocious and unmitigated kind, has become a good gamble, with the chances of immunity better than good. The law ‘has almost ceased to be a warning to the vicious and the violent. It has been mocked too often. “This is a condition which disgraces us all. No self- respecting community can tolerate it. It does not be- long in civilization, and barbarism itself is not futile ia the face of crime. “Justice which is not prompt is justice*deprived of its chief terrors. Justice delayed means justice vir- tually defeated. If punishment is to have-the social effect of deterring crime it must follow swiftly upon the act in order that the possible criminal may have the circumstances of the crime freshly before him and read its consequences in the punishment meted out. Delay blurs the lesson besides multiplying the chances of evasion. “Our system with its complications and delays is an encouragement to law breaking, and the immunity won for the worst crime is a continuing peril to the community. “The Tribune has repeatedly protested against this evil. But the evil persists in spite of repeated de- feats of justice, because the public will nat face the facts and compel the reform:of our methods.” pal em ee as WORLAND’S NEW HIGH SCHOOL. A few days since Washakie county dedicated a new county high school at Worland. It was the occasion of very interesting exercises which were attended by the people from all sections of the county. The state takes a just pride in the enterprise of the people of that comparatively new county and the interest they show in providing institutions for the advanced educa- tion of their children. “The new high sthool building is a splendid one, adequate for the purpose and mod- ern in every respect. The dedication address. was delivered by Hon. C. F. Robertson of Worland. It was a masterly effort and expressed sentiments that should inspire the students of the new school to the highest ideals of citizenship. We take the liberty of republishing a paragraph .or two from Mr. Robertson’s address: “Society is ever becoming more exacting in its de- mands upon the individual for a better and more use- ful life. Less and less is the dollar’ sign ‘held up to the youth of the Iand as the standard by which suc- cess in life is to be measured. The aristocracy of service is fast-supplanting the aristocracy of wealth, | In the minds of the people, as most to be desired. “There was a time when it seemingly made little iifference in the public mind how wealth was acquired, , i of recent events is rapidly changing this viewpoint. The average citizen today is astounded and sick at heart as the evidences of shameless graft and war profiteering are almost daily being brought to light. Not only because he, the average citizen, pays bill, but more so frum the fact that-it demonstrates & low standard of business morals upon the part of a very considerable portion of our. citienship which he had no idea existed. And that, too, at a time when the life of the nation, yea the very civilization of the world, ‘hung in the balanc: “Society is going to demand a very different stand- ard of business morals in the future than it has toler- ated in the past; it will require more honesty and fair dealing and less selfishness and graft in the conduct of both public and private business. All this, if the bonds which hold society together are to stand the strain, for as these words are uttered here today, they are almost at the breaking point.” so long as a man ‘got the money,’ but the real RE SE THE GOVERNOR HONORED. It is noticed in the public prints that Governor Rob- lar establishments and comrades who served overseas bership in the Army and Navy Institute and the Army and Navy ¢lubs of America, has become a member of the general committee and chairman for Wyoming. The objects’ of the institute, which will shortly open a $600,000 clubhouse in New York, are to “encourage, teach, and promote patriotism and loyal citizenship” and to maintain a center where officers of the regu- lar establishment and comrades who server overseas may gather and fraternice. It is well that there be.a headquarters where hero- sm may be recounted and mutual admiration indulged if there be any outstanding examples arising in the zroups that will forgather there. It was not the kind of a war to develop heroes in the class that will as- semble to smoke, talk and eat in the palatial clubhouse. The high command accumulated halos, by reason of being the high command. As for the rest, the gov- ernment’s financial investment in officers was deemed too grent to admit of risks that made heroes. The regular heroes of the war will never gather around the big fireplace in the New York clubhouse. They were’ the, boys who occupied the front trenches and went over the top and mixed with the enemy. The sergeant Yorks who brought them into camp or stretched them out cold and took their fighting tools away from them. The buck privates, your boy and your neighbor’s boy, were the fellows who won the war and performed the deeds of real heroism. These will be known at the family hearthstone but will not be boasted in the New York clubhouse. It would seem that the governor would feel strange- 'y out of place in the military and naval set and there would be at times a sad regret that he had not availed himself of the offer of a commission by the then gov- ernor of Wyoming, which would have taken him to the front and in t day would have made him eligible to full fellows with the heroes and near heroes who will gaze through the plate glass upon the passing hrong of Fifty-ninth street. It is the saddest commentary of all, that the gov- ernor’s war activities and deepest interest should oc- cur so long after the ending of the war. EERIE REBS Mo SESS OUTMATCHED MAKING MATCHES. “There is joy in considering the old verse, the Cincinnati Enquirer, “which told of fleas having qther fleas upon their backs to bite ’em, the proce: continues ad infinitum. Because, out of the Far East comes the interesting intelligence that the Chinese have gone into the manufacturing of matches and are so diligent and skillful in the business that the Japa- nese trade is becoming fearful of their progress as competitors. ‘Not so long ago the American markets were flood- ed with cheaper imitations of the. cheap Swedish matches which compete with the aturdier and more de- yendable flamemakers turned out so profusely here in Qhio. It was not thought that there could be made snything worse than the Scandinavian product, but vhen the Japanese fraud. arrived this view was re- vised sharply. “If it is possible that the Chinese have been able to nake the matches at a lower cost’ than their Nippo- nese rivals, then, indeed, they have accomplished the miraculous and the world will applaud them for the feat. Apparently success has come to them, four 'arge factories at Tientsin being needed to supply the demand which is measured by the thousands of tuns, 'f they are to be shipped to this country, as undoubt- edly they will be, it is to be hoped that the triumph ever the low-grade Japanese imitation of the erratic ond undependable Swedish splint has not been ef- fected through the sacrifice of efficiency in striki fire and holding it. Nothing could be worse.” oi SL NO YELLOW PERIL. A certain cliss of distinguished writers are never considered in good health unless they are startling the world with a “yellow peril” of one sort or another. The ‘yellow peril,” meaning the rise of some Asiatic race to sufficient power to overwhelm the Caucasian race. The “yellow peril” has been present from a very early time in the world’s history and there have been attempts along the line suggested but history re- veals no special success attending the efforts. The peril invaded Greece and Rome previous to’the Christian era. The contests were always a modest number opposing the Asiatic hordes. ‘There is no need to even tell of the results. They have always been"the same, in the later centuries. The success of Japan in the Russian instance was in no sense a con quering of a white race, for the forces and resources of Russia were never brought into action. The situation may be summed up in this fashion There are upon the earth today 550,000,000 individ- uals of the white race, civilized, and bound together by ties of common faith and common aspirations. On the other hand there are 1,500,000,000 people of the brown, yellow and black races, devoid of civilization with widely different faiths and ideals and nothing whatever in common. The white race has already conquered a large share of the earth’s surface and can complete the job if it so desires, There is no yellow peril. peril. There can be no yellow 2 0 NOTHING TO SHED. What are we to think when the dignified Federal Reserve board, in an official statement, reports that ladies’ summer underwear is “falling off?” Are we to regard it as a cheap attempt of some smart aleck eonnected with the department, to perpetrate a joke; and should we join with Senator Smoot in his demand that about 60 per cent of the government publica- tions be suppressed? . If the item is to be taken as a timely and season- able suggestion that the day has arrived when it is advisable for the ladies of the land to put something on, for protection against the blasts of winter, the Federal Reserve board is making a suggestion worth \while. But when the solemn statement is made that the summer stuff is “falling off’’ it calls to public no- tice the crass ignorance of a great government de- partment and at once makes it ridiculous.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 16— Walden's Ridge, a mining town 20 miles east of here, the scene late Wed- nesday of a race riot, was complete- ly deserted by its negro population today and no further trouble was an- ticipated. Three score miners with their families, who made up the ne gro population, fled from their cabins when the trouble started, leaving their possessions behind and declar- ing their intention of never returning. The riot was precipitated by the shooting of three white girls by a ne- gro girl. Henry Clipper, negro, it was said, claimed ownership of a spting on the outskirts of the village and had purchased a shotgun with which to keep others away. When Edna Barnett, 12 years of age, and her two younger sisters went to the spring, Ml Clipper, young daughter of fired at them, wounding all three. Older members of both races took up the affair and a number of trio, Nig! negroes had fled, except the Clipper family who were besieged in their home Dy & mob of about 150 persons, The deputies took the family to, jail for their protection. It was said bev- eral whites might be arrested. Edna Barnett was reported in a se rious condition.
