And hen an somo of the oat
tending facts about our farm tenant |
topulationa, if tacae two townsh.pt
am as a fair sample. Than teem'
'» b* three elaase* of wh>U farm teo
ints, <i) tons,, som-m-law, or ne
thowa of fans owners, who have a
reasonable expectation of coming In
to possession of the land they work
by gift mnrriagw, or bequest—they
in the apper crust of the tenantry;
(2) renters, who own their own tuots
and livestock, bat most acquire land
by poxchasa, If at all—they an the
middle class, up snd coming, whom no
discouragement can hold down per
manently; and (S) croppers, who own
nothing, but woik the land with the
owner's toots and livestock for half
the value of the money crop.
The cropper U “The mnn whom
God forgot”—to quota the bulletin's
quotation of Service's line. These
people are living, in the district in
Toatlgaud, on an average cath in
come of eight cents a day. Of courtc,
they have their food and shelter pro
vided; but eight cent* a day mua!
clothe them, educate thint, amuse
thorn, pay for doctors und medicines
when they are sick, and bury them
when they die. What wonder that
they tarn to moonshirdng and boot
laggingT Why, they nix cast off ever
by the church. Whontaa the pcici-nt’
ago of church membership among th(
other two classes of tenants it 86 anc
84 .among croppers it is 40; aad thi
percentage of Sunday school student
drops from 66 among the- other
to 21 among the cropper*. ‘The ram
wham God forgot”—not a bad phm.
to Uf
The cropper, though, is fairly con
sent with hi* lot. Whatever ambition
hr cir.jr have had has long id nee been
x-uashed oat of him. Better worth
'uuiidvration is the renter, who, al
though his loco mo par person in his
family is only 14 ciiiU a day, by 1b
ercdlblc thrift has saved oat of that
Mini enough to hay a mule and aome
liro'cmeote, and is saving to bay a
bit of land. What of these heroic
stragglers!
“Their lot in life U toil. With only
1st* exceptions, their wives are hoa
hxnds in the Adds, from eight to'ten
hoars a day daring periods ranging
from SO to 200 days of the year, se
conding to family elrcuautaneee. Oca
of these woman is a mother, 61 years
old. The unbroken rule la to scad the
children, both boys and girls alike,
j -ntn field work at seven or eight yean
! of ago—so because there is no hired
Ubor to bo had and no money with
which to pay such labor.”
Then when the renter does save op
though to make a payment on a bit of
land, tho state of North Carolina do
| clans that ho must Instantly pay
tuxes oa its fall vslas, although he
! may have paid in only a tenth of tho
pare ha so price, leaving tho rest cov
ered by s mortgage. Isn’t that a beau
tiful method of encouraging thrift!
Edwin Markham was much impressed
hy Millet’s painting of a French pea*
tint; but what Frenchman ever de
rived more than the North Carolina
renter the line “And on his back the
burden of tho world.”
Tho Dally Nawa expects to return
co discussion of this bulletin late*^
indeed, It may be, and wo hope wfl]
be, discussed for yearn without ex<
hauxting Its interest—but in th«
meantime it earnestly urges every one
i of its readers who is Interested in the
; progress of the state to apply to tbs

olinians—fifty cents to others.—

MASKED VIOLENCE
Legislation ha* been proposed and
ia likely Is be pressed in the Illinois
Alterably to meet the evil ol vigilant
Isa, night riding, and crime* commit
ted by inaaked marauders. Such leg
islation exists in tom* other state*.
For example, Tennessee has had on
its criminal code knee 1970 an act
inflicting a penalty af from $100 to
SbOO and imprisonment in the county
jail far any person or persons, mask
ed or in disguise who shall “prowl, or
travel, or ride, or walk through the
country or towns, to the disturbance
af the peace or the alarming of
tha citiscns.’* Another section de
clares that if aay puan disguised or
ia mask, by day or by night shall en
ter upon the premises af another or
demand entrance lute a house or in
closure, it shall ba considered prime
facie that his intention is felonioui
and ba deemed an aaaaolt with intenl
to commit felony, and on conviction
shall be punished by imprisonment is
the penitentiary-for not leas than ter
nor mors than twenty yours. A third
rertion declares that any one- Vho
while masked or disguised, assault,
another with a deadly weapon shat
be deemed guilty of assault with in
tent to commit murder in the An
degree and on conviction ahall tuffci
death by hanging, provided that th<
jury may substitute imprisonment foi
not less than tin nor more than twen
ty-one years.
This is drastic law ami it ia said ti
have kept Tennessee free of night rid
ing and similar offenses. It seems to u
justifiable and while the evil has no
bean rampant lr. Illinois aa in sens
other stales, we see no reason wh:
.a severe lew should not bo cnactci
to prevent the practice. Nothing couli
be more intolerable than the inflle
’ tion of private punishment, node
cover of secrecy The mask Is lacs
- cuaable and cowardly. It encourage
the tin of the parly vigilant* of fron
tier days, the law U not enforced,
ertiaeni should uqt in the open, a»
KUminjr responsibility to the commu
nity Cor their action. Thu mask mere
ly protects private lawlessness and
should be tirade unlawful.
Night riding in uncivilised and no
nrlf-respccting eommanity will tol
erate the aeaumptioa by self appoint
ed private Individuals of the right le
discipline othere without authority or
form of leiw. Secret societies are num
erous in this country and most of
them have some form of uniform 01
regalia for their own ceremonies j
That is legitimate. But masks andj
dieguiees which conceal the pci son
and invito irrveponeiblc action, should
not be permitted U' public.—Editorial
from Chicago Tribune of January 24,
1923.
THE RICHEST TOWN *
The biggest and the richest town
In. all the world today

With a plenty room to piny;
A town that’s full of living trees
Of grass and opening flowers,
Where children play in opon parks
Through king and tunny hours.
’ There's nothing in the world so big
As a happy child at play.
[ And tomorrow’s shlnging wealth will
be
The children of today.
The biggest work that you can do
That brings a lasting pay
Is the work you do upon tho earth
' To give the children play.
1 8o in your plan to build your town
Just laave some open spaces
I Where sunny skies and grass and
I flowers
May build os happy faces.
r 1 care not what your wealth may be
Hoseever high it’s piled,
• There never was a town aa big
i As one dear happy child.
