A Serious Situation

A serious situation la facing Wayne County It is not a pleasant thing to speak of nor an easy one but the possibilities are so harmful that it were cowardice not to speak of the situation frankly.

A trial has been in progress In which it was developed without a shadow of doubt that a hideous crime had been committed so repulsive as not to allow of public detailed discussion. The facts were not controverted, the man was acquitted on an argument which did not affect the law In the case. - One of the jurymen in this case gave his reason for acquitting the man that it was the parent's fault for being On too friendly terms with the defendant. The law does not admit such an argument. Common decency does not admit such an argument. The judge on the bench was Incensed at such a miscarriage of justice and ordered a grand jury to go into the case again. '

So much for the case in question we have no desire to go into the case cannot If we would. The fact above all others that stands out Is that a little girl has been outraged by a negro. Consider that fact and then ask yourself If this is not a serious situation. And consider also that the reason given for the acquittal of the man was not the outright decision: "Not Guilty" but that "the parents were on too friendly terms with the defendant."

Within the last few years a change has come over the negro situation in Richmond. Any respectable colored man or woman will tell you of It. We had a peaceable, law abiding, decent set of colored citizens. They were of the better class educated and respected. Since the race wars, due to outrages of both the undesirable black citizens and the white men who were little better, Richmond has become a refuge for many undesirable negro citizens. The former majority of good negro citizens has been lessened and they are the first to admit it.

With this situation then what can we expect in the future when a jury of Wayne County sidesteps the law in the case and lays the blame on the parents? ' What of the little girl in the case? What of the hundreds of little girls in this community. What of the message sent out to the lechers of all classes and races In this county?

You will agree that this Is a serious situation.

It has been the pride of Wayne County that it has always been law abiding. At times its attitude has been almost complacent almost indifferent. The Ideas of chivalry have led the people of the South to put all human law aside at times. This temperamental difference in the treatment of crime will not always stand. If Wayne County wishes to keep its ecord clear from further stain and the danger of race wars lynchlngs and the horrors which are growing daily more frequent, there is but one thing for Wayne County to do.

To .have speedy justice in such cases. To decide the case according to the law and the evidence. To avoid acquittal on the ground commonly given for the verdict in tho recent case.

This paper has only the most friendly regard for the welfare of all citizens, the white and the black. . We know that the respectable colored citizens wish nothing else than Justice. They know the 'penalty they must pay for the crimes committed in this community and the penalty they must pay for all abortions 'of justice affecting them. To them the law and the appreciation of law in this community is the greatest safeguard to happiness. The great the vital thing is that the word shall not go out to vicious men of all classes in this community that we have little regard for the law and less for our womanhood.

This Is a serious situation. Conservation of

Be Discussed at Saint Paul

St. Paul. Minn., Aug. P. While the greater part of the program of thi second National Conservation Congress, to be held in St. Paul, September 5, 6, 7, 8. 9. no doubt will be devoted to discussions by experts on forests, fuel and water power, there will be one feature that will give the proceedings a touch of heart interest. It is that pertain ins to the birds. Everybody loves bird. Even tho hunter who gets out and slays the game fowl admires tbe bird and he is no man at all if; after he has shot an excellent specimen of the quail, partridge, grouse or duck, he does not feel a little sorrow In his heart as he picks up the dead bird and places it in his game bag. That the birds are of great value tthe .United States often has been shown. There is an old saying that everything Is put on earth for sonic good and sufficient cause. A person Is likely to question this" assertion and Is never more likely to do so than when he thinks of certain kinds of bugR and Insects that kill the trees, the growing grain, tho cotton, tbe flowers, plant life in general. Right here however, you can see why the bird is placed or. earth. His song Is beautiful to hear and his plumage grand to look upon, but it is the little beak that peck incessantly from sun rise to sun pet that Is of great value to the people of the land. Francis M. Chapman, curator of the American Museum of Natural History Is coming to St Paul to deliver In the auditorium, on one of the evenings when the conservation congress is in session, an illustrated lecture . on birds. Mr. Chapman has stereoptlcon views of birds In every possible posa. He probably knows moro about birds thau eny other man In America. He will tell about the value of the bird to tbe farmer particularly, and what interests the man who produces tho food the people consume, will interest everybody, for all must tat. To quote William L. Flnley. of the National Association of Audubon societies, will Kive an idea of the value of the bird In dollars and cents. He said: "For yeara our wild birds have been rapidly decreasing. As a result, millions of dollars are taken from the pockets , of the farming class every year to right Insect pests, and thl amount la increasing. . The Inroads of the Heaalon, fly upon the wheat crop

Birds will J

In 1904 were estimated at S50.000.000 The cotton worm is a great menace in the south, where it destroys from $25,000,000 to S50.000.000 annually of the cotton crop. The cut worm is a pest that is prevalent throughout the country; although the loss is widely distributed and not felt so heavily, it is enormous. The coddling moth injures fruit crops to the amount of S20.000,000 annually. With the continuous loss of bird life in our country, the loss from Insect and rodent pests last year was estimated . at the enormous sum of $500,000,000. ' "Without the birds our forests would be swept as by a blast of fire. Our trees would look like an army of telegraph poles. Last year insects caused an estimated loss of more than one hundred million- dollars to the trees of the country. Do you knov that 400 different specie of insects are continually workins on the oas tree alone? The birds of the forests are constantly catching and consuming these Insects. "Careful analysis of the stomachs c? thousands of wood peckers, titmice, creepers, kinglets, wood warbler?, wrens, flycatchers, swallows, nuthatches and other birds show they do nothing else but eat these devastating insects. This is their life work. Destroy our wild birds and you destroy our forests. "The lumbermen have cut our forests but the lumber is used to build homes. The fisherman catches our fish, till they are almost gone, but these are used for food. The capitalist captures the water-power rights of our streams, but these he puts to advantage. But the plume hunter slaughters our wild birds, and uses our resources for what? Is it to make women mora attractive and beautiful? If so, he is a failure. "As long as women demand these plumes men will be found to supply them. This vandalism will not cease as long as the reward of gold lasts. But at the rate some of our birds ar2 disappearing, the supply will soon be gone and then the useless custota must cease.! - Drawing the Line. "A woman should have a gentle, confiding nature. "Yes." .replied Mr. Trampton ; "but it. shouldn't be so great as to lead her to play bridge whist with strangers at a summer hotel.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK PLANS ARE MAPPED OUT

AI

Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock, who was recently called to Beverly to consult with President Taft on .he momentous question of postal sav'ngs banks, the law authorizing which was passed last session. Tbe postmaster general declares the plannig af this innovation will be the great;stest work , of his administration and "ie has already mapped out several of the more improtant details. Items Gathered In From Far and Near The Tussock Moth Menace. From the Chicago Post. If the members of the city council want proof of the need of an appropriation to stop the ravages of the tussock moth, they can find it on every tree of Washington Square, on every other tree on Dearborn avenue and North State street, an1, for that matter, on thousands of trees in all parts rt the city and its suburbs. It is not safe to dillydally with the matter. The city's trees are threatened with destruction. Massachusetts has spent $1,500,000 within a few years in the attempt to rid the eastern part of the state of the brown tail and gypsy moths. If the danger had been recognized when the pests first appeared the lives of the elms of Concord and the Common would cot be in jeopardy today. The mone spent by the Nov England state has been taken out of the public funds. Great sums in addition have been spent by individuals in the attempt to save the trees on private estates. The tussock mo(h can be kept down, if not exterminated. If the means for the work are provided. There is one kind of economy that is practiced only by the foolish. Southward Hoi From the Boston Transcript. When the bureau of immigration puts its finger on the i-ulse of population and reports an unprecedented migration toward the south, it does little more than record another phase of the intermittent fever, of settlement that has possessed the country in the last 200 years. There is little more Interesting than a study- of the movement toward the undeveloped parts of this nation. The tide flows west, then east; and the northwest is hardly in the bloom of its development before the wave has ebbed back to the southeast. Arizona is barely admitted to statehood before attention falls on the possibilities of Maine. The present movement from the west Into Georgia, Florida and Alabama, the Carolinas and Tennessee is a curious repetition of a tide of settlement that passed into these states a century and a half ago. It was about 1730 that the great flood of immigration first began to roll toward the south. The tidewater regions of the southern states had been settled some years before, but as late as 1700, when there were over a hundred thousand inhabitants in New England, there were hardly . 13,000 south and west of Virginia. Gore's Charges. From the New York World. The nature of Senator Gore's testimony makes it imperative that Vice President Sherman shall take th-j stand, that Senator Curti6S and Representative McGuire shall be summoned as witnesses, that the use of their names by tbe man Hammon shall be repudiated or justified and that the whole tnit'a in regard to the bribery charges and the McMurray contracts shall be laid bare without respect to persons or penalties." moral or crimin aL There can be no evasion, no suppression. Tbe congressional committee must go to the bottom of the scandal without fear and without faovr. The country must know the truth. Full-Measure Movement From the Milwaukee Free Press. The full measure movement after all is benefiting the ioor consumer more than the regulation of railroad rates, and yet the campaign orators do not give it aa much attention.

Political Complexion of the

Election Boards is Watched

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Aug. 8 Some Interesting figures have been prepared here showing the political complexion of the election boards in all of the precincts in all of the counties in the state for tbe coming fall election, and they are being studied with much in terest by the politicians who hold to! the opinion that control of the election boards by one or the other political parties is important. The election board in a precinct has to decide all questions of tne right of a man to vote and it also decides on the validity of all votes cast whether they are legal or illegal. The board receives and counts the ballots and makes the returns to the' county canvassing board. Therefore, it has always been held by politicians that control of the election boards was of the utmost importance especially in counties and precincts where the vote is close and tbe majorities small. The county board of election commissioners is composed of one democrat and one republican and the county clerk. Thus, if the county clerk is a democrat the board becomes democratic. If he is a republican the board will be republican. The precinct election boards are appointed by the county commissioners. . A democratic board always makes up democratic boards and republican commissioners make up republican boards. Thus the commissioners play an important part also in the matter of election boards. In a precinct In which a township trustee resides he is tbe ispector on the election board. There are 1017 townships in the state and 1017 trus tees will be Inspectors. There is a total of 3178 voting precincts in tha state. Of the trustees 510 are democrats, 400 republicans, and one prohibitionist, the latter in Penn township, Parke county. In the 3178 precincts there will be 18T2 democrats, 1323 republicans and one prohibitionist. . Fifty-five county boards of commissioners are democratic and 37 republican. In twenty-nine counties there are no republican commissioners and in 33 there are no democratic members on the boards. Of the 02 county clerks there are 41 democrats and 51 republicans. Voting machines will be used in fourteen counties, a total of 443 "machines. The counties are Allen, Bartholomew, Delaware, Fulton, 'Henry, Johnson, Marion, Miami, Montgomery, Newton, Pulaski, Vanderburgh, Vigo and Warrick. The following figures have been compiled In regard to important counties:' St Joseph 40 precincts: commissioners all republicans: trustees, four democrats and four republicans; county clerk, republican. Elkhart CI precincts: commissioners, two democrats and one republi can; trustees, 10 democrats and six republicans; inspectors, o5 democrats and 6 republicans. Laporte 50 precincts; commissioners, one democrat and two republicans; trustees, 10 democrats and 11 republicans: inspectors, 10 democrats and 40 republicans. Allen 52 prejeincts; commissioners.
