The reason for this outburst of enthusiasm is the story that came over the wires from Los Angeles—the story of the arrest of Upton Sinclair and others for holding a little public meeting and reading selections from the con stitution of the United States. Sinclair, so the story goes, will be charged with criminal syndicalism We have always believed that Los Angeles was a city inthe United States of America. If this is really true, since when has it become a crime to read the constitution of the United States in public? At this distance it looks as if the Los Angeles police, who are worrying about a little strike, have become frightened at their own shadows. Seattle could have had plenty of trouble with the lumber strikers who flocked to this city recently. There would: have been trouble if the police had become wildly excited. Trouble is easy to make. But, as we remarked before, we have & police chief who nsed horse sense. Tf the California sunshine has so softened the brains of the California officers that they shy at the constitu- tion, we give thanks that it rains occasionally here. New. I, out of 2.08; year, 280.

Lynchings Should Be Abolished Several hundred Seattleites heard Congressman Dyer talk on his anti-lynching bill—the bill which passed the | house at the last congress, but failed in the senate. | It takes nerve for a man like Dyer to propose and to fight for an anti-lynching bill. For down in Missouri, Where Dyer comes from, they often have lynchings—and they very probably lynch the wrong folks, for mobs are -wholly brutal and utterly lacking in intelligence. if Congressman Dyer has a way to stop lynchings, it 'sshould receive the whole-hearted support of congress. He Teasons that state governments or local governments ‘often have not the power or the disposition to bring the » lynchers to justice. So it is up to the federal government _ to act. The lynching of men down South is one of the dirtiest ‘blots on the honor of this nation. How can men fully t the law and have decent regard for justice when they take the law in their own hands? Dyer has a big fight on his hands, but if he once @rouses the people to the seriousness of the cause for Which he is fighting he will not find it too difficult to ‘convince the stolid, self-satisfied senate. _ Buenos Aires bishop says America Is women’s parsdise, We say some birds of paradise. : mind eating « lot, ‘They have everything to gain aR, b aie ‘should slender don’t As ‘ ‘skin is two feet thick in peg ny son wind. boiling over in Italy, while in America we have our presi es. _ Mt.

All evidence pointed to murder, ‘with diabolical means taken to conceal the crime. That was a bad enough situation in itself. It is hardly ir to hold a whole university responsible for the mis- s of its each and every student, and probably few le would have done that under ordinary circum- ut ordinary circumstances did not prevail. The presi- of the university consented, “for the good name of school,” to have the whole matter hushed up.
