No wonder the habit of lynching persists when three members are ready to stand up in the United States senate —as Mr. Ashurst of Arizona, Mr. Myers of Montana and Mr. Fletcher of Florida did recently—and speak in favor of shooting down the reckless motorists who imperil life in Washington. The provocation was great but not to be compared with that which usually leads to lynchings.

EXAMPLE TO BE SET

EX-KAISER’S TRIAL WARNING TO WOULD-BE CONQUERORS. International Law Expert Says Former Emperor’s Fate Will Be Held Up to Future Napoleons. London, Jan. 9. —The trial of William Hohenzollern before an international tribunal "for a supreme offense against International morality and the sanctity of treaties,” and for plotting war which brought grief to millions, is designed not only to punish the former war lord, but also as a warning to any would-be Napoleon in the future. This information came today from Sir Frederick Pollock, the famous British international law expert and privy councilor who drew up the original draft of the Indictment against the ex-kaiser. This statement was made on the eve of the departure of Sir Frederick from London. It was stated at his offices that he would be absent for about a week, but his whereabouts and the nature of his mission w’ere not revealed. It is believed that his trip is In connection with plans for the extradition for the one-time ruler of Germany from Holland and his ultimate trial. “This is not an action against the former German emperor so much as an effort to end the possibility of an uncivilized person carrvlng out such policies In the future as those held by the ex-kaJser. “The allies are not Interested primarily In the ex-kalser as a person, nor his personal punishment. There are questions involved bigger than that. The actual thing sought is the trial and branding for all time of an International idea —the power of one single mnn to declare war against the world. “Precedents must be established preventing this in the future.”

WOULDN’T TRY RED THEORY

Bolsheviks on the Soviet Ark Buford Refuse to “Divide Up" Their Money. % Washington, Jan. 9.—The makings of a first-class riot were contained in a facetious suggestion made by a federal agent on the “soviet ark” Buford just before she sailed from New York, It was learned when the agent arrived here. Most of the deported reds were reasonably supplied with gold money, but some bad larger sums than others. “Why not put It all together and divide it equally, according to recognized bolshevik principles?” was the agent's facetious suggestion. Did the suggestion “take” with the richer reds? It did not. “Owners of the larger sums of money scattered in ail directions,” said the federal agent.
