THAT "SLACKER LIST" AND THE MEN TO BLAME FOR IT. We hae commented before on the possible injustice of th' "slacker list." issued by the war department, and the fact that it is bringing undesirable ?:ign;a u; on men. who have served their country. but "injustice" is a misnomer. While seemingly unjust that they should be treated after auch manner. still there i a le-on In it, and a jrood one, no; only for the? affected, but for young: rnen in, every walk of life. The ver y first installment of the lists as published bring.- to lizht the very aggravated case of a man who?o name we will not further e.iposa to "plti-1-5S publicity," but will call John Doe. cls sufficient fo- the i i cation. Ioe registered in the 93rd recinct in Chicago, and was assigned hLs place in the draft l;t. When his number was called, he was net at the address, given, nor did he appear there during the entire period of the war. HLs name is now published by the government a.- a deserter. Now John P. e writes from Macomb, 111 , showing that he nüsted in. that town, was promoted and honorably lisch irged as a lieutenant colonel He feels very in di grant. But the war department comes back, and says that whatever disgrace attaches to the publication, he is himse lf responsible for; an I that, in .-pit. -f whatever honor he won under his t-r. '. :-t ni n t from Macomb, he :3 ."tili a deserter, and I;?b'.e xr prosecution. The Jejartmen; siy? that he kr.cn- and was fully inf rmc 1 that it was his duty in case of removal

from the place

his registration to notify the

department, and Iave a permanent mailing ad'.res: The- were mailed to him at the address cf his reg:ratl. n. in Chicago, and doubtless forwar.led to him :n Macomb, e4uestionnairos and docum.fnts to which he ma le no rt-p.y. as waj his duty t-v hif rr.ade. The department -ays that there we.-e . : 7 Poe in the service, and a number of the Tii wt re John P es. r.r.d that there is no ore employed In th war department whose pjft of r:.ad reading and clairvoyance enable the department to knew that John Ive of .Laccmb bs the Mme John P? who registered in Chicago. Vh will enture the. prediction that John Doe w . not be prosecuted f r desertion, though legally liable, and he ahal 1 not be prosecuted. but he will bear all his life r certain stigma, and he will know that he deserves it. This trlf.ir.g letail of plving a prmnent address, and of f.l'.lr.g cut blanks what is the rocxl of it? To s--r.d a permanent a Mrocv would, involve the trr.ul le f writing a p stal-card. and the f.lUns out of a blank : a b'thr. a every one. knows. It might have i os John Do five minutes rf rime. Who can liirr.e him for his neglect? Men have been hanged

for less neglect than that, nd have deserved their hanging. We are too raaual, too eaay-gcing. We receive our invitations with "It. ß. V. P.M n them, and you may a' any hotter what happen. The rudeness, the unpardonable neglect of good people in matters of elmple courtesy calling for a little thought. Is astonishing. Young men in business 5o Just the. kind of thlrj? that John Dee did, aai think their employer evere when they nay: "Young man, you will never ruceeed In buaines until you learn to meet your engagements promptly. You must be reliable, or you will b a failure." It may be the solemn duty of the war department to court-martial Lieut. Cel. John Doe, to find him guilty, reprimand him. and pardon him. We hope the department win not take that trouble, but will let him go in view of hia good conduct In service, but that good conduct can never excuse his failure in duty. If h CATiie the ftaln to the end of his life, h will know that he de-erves it. It wu failure of performance In one of the duties cf citizenship, and we will never be good Americans untft we come to regard thoe duties Just as eacredly, as the soldier regards his duties to the army.

PERHAPS THE I. C. C. CAN HELP. It Is beginning to look as though prosperity might be lurking around the comer; that Is, If the claim of eome economists, that It is all dependent upon the railroads, is to be taken seriously. Both the gros revenue and the ne operating Income of the larger railroad systemj show a decided improvement over a year ago. The figure for most of the systems for April are now available. While they are still far from satisfactory, as compared with normal pre-war condition.", the improvement Is sufficient to indicate that the long-hoped-for business revival may be under way. Thee April figures ought to and undoubtedly will be seriously considered by the interstate commerce commission In making up its decision on the question of revising freight and passenger ratea downward. The country's Industrie are making a gallant struggle to get on their feet and they need every bit of help they can get. Important among these industries are the railroads, which can prosper only as there is general prosperity. And It cannot be too often repeated that railroad rates higher than the traffic will bear are as bad for the railroads as for other Industries. o Pres't Rryan of the Milwaukee & ft. Paul, ffays freight transportation Is the cheapest commodity in the country. Don't gnash your teeth. Maybe he'd Just paid his rent. o The mixed commission eent by the upreme council to study the Ciileslan question probably will be more mixed after studying it. o Minnesota district court sways politicians cigar. violate the corrupt practices act. Always knew they violated something. o John D. Rockefeller iys he earned his first dollar raising turkeys. Glad to know he earned one of 'em. o At that, the pioneer airmen are having a lower mortality rate than the first ocean navigators. o

THC DISGRACE OP TULkSA. (Tulsa Dally World.) Proud, matchless Tulsa comes before the bar of Christian civilization this day, and, with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her cheek, and, we sincerely hope, with deep regret in her heart, asks that she be j anioned the great offence some of her citizens committed during Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. There k-j not a man worthy of the name w.hose heart is not afire with Indignation against that which has been dne. Members of a superior race, boastful of the fact, permitted themselves to degenerate into murderers and vandals: permitted themselves to deal their home community the foulest blow it has ever received in Its history. Tulsa boasted that he was not Ardmore. And now a negligible number of men have plunged the reputation of the fair city into the depths of infamy, language is Incapable of painting the wrong which has been committed against the community and its peaceful, law-abiding citizens or of expressing the indignity one inevitably feels toward men incapable of controlling their passions and their prejudices. It is true that the pride of race as well as P.s prejudices is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground one would like, if it were at aH possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night, when the streets of the city were suddenly transformed Into a raglag torrent of hate-Impelled men. The imprudence of the negroes in arming themselves and visiting the county Jail permits something to be said for thoe who responded to the riot impulse and set out to satiate the blood lust or racial pride. Put nothing that the mind Is capable of conceiving permits a word of defense or excuse for the murderous vandalism which set in at dayligh the next morning. Hundreds of thou.inds of dollars worth of property the home.s of women and children, black in color, to be sure, but guilty of no other offens-e went up in smoke. Semi-organized bands of white men .systematically applied the torch while others shot on sight men of color. The colored section of the city wa.s wiped out. and a lonr line of hopeless, destitute, pitiful refugee Med northward from the burning town. The German invasion of Belgium with its awful consequence was no more unjustified or characterized with anv greater cruelty. In the conflagration a splendid new church but recently erected and one of the handsome educational edifices of the school district wa.s lost. To f-uch property the vandals applied the torch to make sure cf their terrible purpose. The entire "race war" was as unjustified as It was unnecessary. Because of it Tulsa is blazoned as a convmunlty where tolerance does not exiflt.- where the constitution of the. United States can be enforced or suspended at will; where prejudice an! race bigotry ru'es. and where law and order haltingly flexes the knee to outlawry. Ten thousand citizens have been rendered homeless and made exiles on the fac of the earth! Will Tu!s accept such a reputation willingly? Will this city tWate such injustice accept meeklv the sudden ending to its dream of primacy and glory? If not. then the substantial, constructive citl-z-nshlp mus immediately fret into action. There Is but one way in which Tulsa can rehabilitate- itself either in Its own eyes or the eyes of the outside worll. That is by rebuilding that which has been destroyed. Vandalism ha? taken the homes and the savlnrs of thousands of rr- Tulsa must restore that which has been taken. The sins of a comparative few are thus visited upon the whole community. But it is a cress that must be shouldered willingly and heroically. This restitution, not because of affectionate regard for the co'.ored man, hut because of an honorable and Intense regard for the white raca who boast cf superiority muat now be Justified by concrete acts. Not else can the wounds of passion be healed or the scars of intolerant hatred be soothed. In th's moment men of Tulsa stand at the crossroad in the city's destiny. One wiy leads to a greater and more glorious future; the ether certainly leads to retrogression n1 decay. There must not. there can not. be any hesitating.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUS

IT'S corn BACK. I never mistrusted my fellows till lately; They most of them soberly go to their work They follow their . rastimes and pleasures sedately. And little resemble the terrible Turk.

But now I suspect them of sinister

courses Of leading yes. lots of them triplicate lives

For the papers nre crowded with

tale-s of divorces Occasioned by marrying three or four wives.

You hear of a fellow In Oregon City

Another at Carson, a third up in Nome.

Who married young ladles they

fancied were pretty When they had two or three mavbe seven, at home.

You read of some chap in Scapoose

who 5s courting A girl in Montclair and another in Rye. '

When back for 10 years he's been

gamely supporting A wife and fix children In Hempstead, L. J. You learn of a guy with a half dozen houses, A wife and her offspring parked snuglv in each.

All legally married and sprightly

young spouses And each from her ricture a regular peach. You find that the man you have seen on the trolley As you have gone into the town every day. Has a wife he calls Maude and a wife he calls Molly. And a couple of more he calls

Myrtle and May. I fancied polygamy long had departed And ail of my friends were monogamous men But now it's apparent that some thing has started This plural but singular custom again. Today as a neighbor I'm casually meeting. At night when th-? train or the fern' arrives I'm prompted to say. as a manner of greeting. "Good evening, old fellow! And how axe your wives?" (Copyright, 191.)

JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST

WORK. Whenever there's a task to do It muans the world has need of you. Whenever there's a hammer raised. Wherever metal mu.-: be brazed. Whenever nail is driven in, Or fixed a tiny cotter pin. There shall be when the work is o'er More joy than men have known before. The man who puts his hand to toil. The ploughboy turning up the soil, Th laborer or mochanic skilled, Give something of themselves to

build The better world; a duty done Improves the path men travel on. And there's no deed so commonplace But what bestows it's sum of grace. No man has ever toiled in vain Who sweeps a street or cleans a drain, Who drives a nail or wields a Pledge Or works with tools of keener edgo Is bettering the lives of men And adding to their eomforis then. For from such service hete has como Relief from much that's burdensome. Beauty and peace of mind and ease Are born of duties such as thoe. Whenever man employs a wrench

Or stands to service at his bench. Whenever there's a hammer, raised. Whenever there's a window glazed. Whenever man has served a cause, The world is better than it w&s. (Copyright. 191.)
