MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SATURDAY. 'AUGUST I. 1908. r 'mil ARE LYNCHED Bodies Were Found Hang Ing From a Tree In Ken tUGky-Jails Forced KUSSELLVILLE, Ky., Augj 1. The bodies ut lour negroes were fouud mis. liemled from tho "old liauiini; tree' tlie Xnxlivillc pike :it dawn today. The men worn removed from the jnil in this city Inst night, liy n molt of determined whites, who furred the .pnler to deliv er the prisoners under threats of hat teriny down the doors. The lynching was the result of the murder of .lames Cmuiiiii'liam, n white farmer near Evansville, K.V., a week ago by Iinfus Browder, a negro. The men hanged last night belonged to n lodge that ndopted a resolution endors ing the murder. llrowder probably would have been lynched if ho had not been removed quickly to Louisville for safe keening. The murder caused great excitement nmong the white, nnd race feeling ran nigii., 1 lie lodge adopted a resolution loeonimending the killing of a white man named Cunningham and when tins' became known the whites threatened to torm a mob for the prosecution of tlio negroes. The whites determined that immedi ate and summary action was necessary, and the mob was formed quietly with out any warning to the ailer, who real ized that, it would lie useless to re nisi. The negroes were taken quietly to the "old hanging tree" and hanged, alter which the mob dispersed. The hanging has terrorized the negroes of mis city. I uiininghaiil discharged Brow-dor, who had been omployed on his farm. "' llu gro. resenting his dismissal, wailed an opportunity and killed the farmer in cold blood. HELLO, BILL! Hello, Bill! When din you arrive, II 5-7-8, Oh, ten yenrs ago. Sot Well, Well. How long since you evoluted ehf Oh, you have not evoluted, but uro in process. That 's good it is in fact, encouraging. Also, the process be ing comprehensive, you will not become lonesome I he company will be near, because of ils being quantitative. There if) much of it, in fact almost a superla live number, having much time, hav ing in fact all the time there is Ihis is uttered in the vein in which the fly stuck to the " fly-paper, " (he wly-paper being (tyonslogieally) the fly's ground of reasoning. But, you affirm, you have arrived. What's your pile'N Ten thousand, eh? Are yon really of any benefit to hn inanity.' Have yon ever given human ity a word, a thought, an idea, a theory of any considerable moment? Have you ever worked out for yourself or for others any social problem of worthy benefit to mnn? Nope, but I'm worth ten thousand plunkR, .lust, an absorber, eh; a cancer on the body politic.1 Have you any culture Nope, but I've got tin thousand plunks. Have you any manners? Xope; don't want nny I've got ten thousand; ain't that the whole think these daysf J know, but civilization, the higher civics The higher civics be Imaged; it's the plunks, I tell you! The ancient empires many of them gave encouragement to the arts, lit eratures and the refinements of life, thinking thereby to reach the higher planes of happiness through uccultur ings, which in large degree they suc ceeded in doing. Why not give to society what you owe to society? I owe nothing to society mine is tho mazuuia; and, as to ancient civili zations, 1 one time heard a smart fel low' say they became decadent. True; but decadence is not culture. In so far as your terms do not corre lale, do you reason erroniously. An egg will remain nn egg until it evolves a higher life, or until such time (the process upward being nrrestid) as it shall come under the law of fcrmentn tion and decomposition. Anyhow, I've got the plunks. Yes; that seems to be the happy stir nip to your mount. Are you r church member f xes; cert. Do you live the I. hrist life? Live the Christ life f Well, no. Who does in this day and age, when flap ptincy in the pulpit is as common an is gossip and blasphemy on the street; besides, I don't have to; I've got the plunks, I tdl you. Do you see that man on the neit block t Ves, nnd I hate him. l!a!e him! What reason have you for hating him i I hate him because he is well born and well bred, and carries himself with spirit nnd independence meeting ev ery mnn in courtesies half way only, and asking no man for the right to a foothold on this tinhorn. Besides, all which he has been a lifelong student and is better informed than 1 Which to you appears in the light of the "forgiveless sin." Ilpt. say) Well, whst is it f I'm worth ten thousnndOplunks. So I am informed. I own a cnd shop I maaa a whole grocery store and much iM9; while O that fellow over there, educated and I cultured though he be, perforins com mon service for men. Why do I swell up and do the grand stunts in store and church? Why-er-because-er-I 've got ten thousand plunks. Therefore I'm "it" while that cultured fellowi over there is nothing. May I ask vou one other question? Cert! Do you believ one's financial success to be in measure to one's intellect? Most certainly it is. Xow that man, though educated and cultured, has neith er quantitative nor qualitative brain power; he therefore is unable to accu mulate properties, while I that is, this "me," though parvenne as you think, a boor who uses vulgar language on the streets, who spits tobacco juico on the pavements nnd who blocks the side walks in such a innnner as to ineonve nienco Indies in passing, am the whole original cheese with substantial part intact. j But does not that statement, outside all esthetic and ethical considerations place you in a peculiar position as re gards your relative position to the V derbilts, the Morgans and the Roths Inldsf Why sof Well, you boast you are worth ten thousand plunks. Cert! Well, by that rule, if one's gnnncial success lie in exact ratio to one's in tellect, and if, therefore, your posses- sives, or, more correctly perhaps, your accumulative noility, be representative. ly one-fourth inch long to measure ton thousand dollars, then Rockefeller's mark would be one mile long to meas ure Ins six-hundred million ability Therefore, the conclusion would be that Rockefeller s accumulative. ability (brain power energy) would make him l mile more brainy than yourself. Fur thermore, one-fourth inch having no ap proximate comparison with a mile. leaves the one-foiirth-inch-man without any brains at all. See? Xow, yon urge you are worth thousand plunks? v ny-or-yes, 1 believe 1 did; am not ipnte certain, however. In view of that fact, might I be ul lowed to propound one question fur-thnr? Why er ves; 1 think you might. Well, then would you mind telling me who was your fat her? Why John Doe was iny father. .So; well, then, I guessed wrong. thought perhaps it might have been unlaam s vocalized beast of burden. Sir! Oh. nothing. D. II. HAWK1.VS. BOURNE PLAYS GOLF WITH BIO BILL TAFT HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 111. Al though Los Angeles can claim the first baby named after Taft in the nersou if William Howard Taft Lenox, whose arrival was simultaneous with the noiii ination of the former secretary of war it the Chicago convention, other Wil mm Tafls have been brought into the world by the stork, according to word t'ceived at laft s headquarters.

BRYAN WILL ATTACK MOTIVES OF HEARST L1XCOLX, Neb., duly .11. William .1. Brynn is expecteil to make a sensa tional attack on the motives behind the independence party immediately follow ing the formal notification. The affi davit by Joseph T. Marshall, the only independence delegate from Nebraska, in which he alleges that Hearst "pack ed" the convention in the interests of the republicans, is said to be a but a forerunner of the revelations which lire expected from the camp at the start. llryan today declined to discuss the allegation that Hearst has made an offer in which Bryan would receive Hearst's support this year and in re turn Hearst would have Bryan's support in 1H12, when he would run for demo cratie presideut.
