CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
The apparent increase in crime
throuKhout the world is a matter that
should be viewed with concern by
law abiding citizens. j
Oregon is a nieeca for desperate
characters since the abolition of cap-!
punishment, and serious consid
eration should be given at this time-
to reestablishing this law that haa
been off the books for several years.
The people of this state and nation
are in many instances in advance of
the times, and they fail to recognize
the fact that a weapon in the hands of
a criminal is Just as dangerous as it
ever was and that nations of barbar
ians can and will do just what Ger
many did, if it considers such I move
advantageous to the individual nation
making the step.
It is a beautiful theory that nations
should disarm, and a correct one, but
in its solution are being found many
difficulties.
We are this year celebrating the ab.
olution of the war god to that of
peace, and yet we are sending sup
plies to Europe so that wars may con
tinue there, at the same time creating
conditions at home that are in many
Instances more distressing than dur
ing the war period.
To take off the statute books the
law permitting what some please to
call legalized murder -seemed a nice
thing to do, yet it has encouraged
crime without question, and the meas
ure should be resubmitted to the vot
ers at our next election, and reinstat
ed as a law.
If an Individual does not wish to
face legalized murder, let him see to
it that he does not commit murder or
like crime himself. The effect would
surely be wholesome.
Omaha. William Brown, negro, waa
dragged from the county Jail at 11
o'clock Sunday night and hat.d to
an electric light pole, following a
struggle of nine hours to Wcure pos
session of his oay by an Immense
mob.
Sheriff Michaxl L. Clark and his
deputies held the fort in the top story
of the courthouse, where is located
the Jail, with a hundred prisoners,
until the building became a seething
mass of flames and he waa forced to
submit
At 11 o'clock, after Brown had been
hung to an electric light pole, the fire
men were able to get a stream on the
flames.
The arrival of regular army troops
from Fort Omaha and Fort Crook had
the effect of cooling off the mob spirit
to a certain extent, but small bands
were marching through the downtown
streets until an early hour Monday
morning.
The assault with which William
Prown was charged was committed on
Agnfs Lobeck early in the week. With
an escort, crippled beyond the point
of resistance. Miss Lobeck met her
assailant a few blocks from home
in the southeast part of the city. He
held the couple up at the point of a'
revolver. After robbing the young
man he assaulted the young woman In
his presence, holding a revolver at the
head of her escort in the meantime.
Brown was arrested by police of
ficers and both Miss Lobeck and her
escort indentified him as the man who
committed the deed.
Besides the negro's death, the
known casualties numbered 24, one
of whom was killed and the remainder
received wounds, most of which were
the result of revolver shots. It was
believed that there were no casualties
in the county Jail. Although the fire
had made the Jail quarters smothering
hot, the occupants were able to re
main there until the firemen subdued
the flames following the lynching.
Breeding Makes No Difference.
It has been claimed by lovers of do
mestic cats that highly bred members
of the species do not engage In hunt
Ing Insectivorous and song birds. A
few days ago a city gardener captured
a handsome cat In the act of killing a
young robin which had Just left its
nest near his house. He did not kill
the bird hunter, under the authority
recently granted by the Conservation
Commission, but took the animal and
Its victim to the home of the cat's
owner. There he learned that the cut
tva a highly prized ribbon-taker; and
the owner wns indignant at Its cap
ture. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

The airplane camera looks directly
down on the spot to be photographed,
making picture as a one-eyed msa

In which the lenses are two a.id

produce the stereoscopic efTect. I'lio
tneraphers decided to take pictures

Encouraging
Bolshevism
Everything that falsely en
courages unrest also encourages
bolshevism.
Misunderstanding of Amer
ican industrial organization, and
of its benefits to mankind, leads
to- unrest, dissatisfaction, and
radicalism.
For example, the Federal
Trade Commission tells the pub
lic that the large packers had an
agreed price for lard substitute
(made of cotton-seed oil)
It reproduces letters taken from
the files of one of the packers,
showing that such agreed price
existed.
But it failed to mention that
the agreed price was deter
mined at the request of and in
co-operation with the Food
Administration!
Even the Department of Jus
tice, in its unjust attempt to
create prejudice against the
packers, has made public these
same letters, with no explanation.
How long must this kind of
misrepresentation continue? In
so far as it is believed, it not
only breeds discontent, but re
sults in injustice to our industry.
