Why throw the dead cat into a neighbor's bacx yard? Why not punuh her for her wrong do ing? Why not send her to the workhoutc for a prrio-4 cf time and then, if the will agree to leave, gie her a chance to go. This would be cn the presumption that the punUhmcnt given her might turgest to her that she thould re form and lead a different life not repeat her effenvc ana ir.n Society. Ilut to find her ruiltv anJ tenl her on to continue her chore in an other town, without punithment for what she did, it not the best way in the world to punish law breakers. Scppoc we find a man guilty cf theft and tell him thai if he will leave town and not come back we will cnd him on to an other town, where he may be Able to rob some body there.

IS REVOLUTION - t UNLESS CURBED Unless the loyal and patriotic citizens of this country assist in heading off the attempts at treason, it is barely posiblc that this country will not hold together during the var. Too many "constitutional lawyers" on the .streets; too many men wanting to discredit the Presl den; too many loud-mouthed slackers here and there and everywhere There must he some loud talk in South Carolina. The Co lumbia State, Always conservative and level headed, writei a double-leaded article in which it leaves room to read between the lines. Con cluding, it says: The only way to press the war to a successful conclusion is to fight, to give, to tacrificc. To denounce those who fight with us is to help those who fight against us. The duty, and the only duty, of an American is to follow his leaders and hold up their hands. If our people in this emer gency are incapable of united action against a foreign enemy they cannot Jong maintain the integrity of. their own liber ties. They have before them the picture of Russian desertion and defeat. If there be those firm in the conviction that the American Republic on the 6th day of April turned its back on justice and right eousness and became a felon nation, let them raise the standard of revolution and take the consequences like brave men, but let them not, pretending that they are' with their country, right or wrong, whine that their country is wrong and thereby cirry aid and comfort to its enemies. All of which is true. But it does seem that there is a law against treasonable utterances. when they are made the Department of Jotnee should not be slow to apprehend and runtsn me ruury. ro nau-way measures should be employed stem and unyielding, the law should be supreme in its majesty. Along the same line Ceorgia is coming to. the front with a proportion to rtrsWt the draft. Ied by the unspeakable Tom Watson, the citirens propose to test the constitutionality of it. and all this argues no good. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot sizes up the Georgia situation in thi way, and things look not altogether as they should look. The Pilot says: For years Georgia has had among the unthinking a reputation, for lawlessness. The Atlanta riots, a place high in the list of the states in which lynchings take place, the Frank case and other events in dicative of a spirit of defiance of law have operated to keep Georgia before the public in a licht not to be envied. The news from Georgia has frequently been of a kind that loyal natives of the state might well desire to see suppressed. Now comes more like it. Opponents of. the draft law have met and raised funds to fight it lawlessness spawning treason and jeering loyal citizens. Defiant of law, they appeal to the law, and, lacking pa triotim. they appeal to that document which without the patriotism of their fa- . thers would not exist. They will test the constitutionality of the draft act. It i idle for people at this distance from the scene to look for causes, but even here it is impossible to escape the belief that bad leadership is cause of a part of the , trouble. Georgia has honored the un speakable Tom Watson and the unpatri otic I lard wick and others of that stripe and Georgia is paying the penalty. Probably she is deserving more of symoathv than o'f censure. Certainly her affliction is a grievous one. Naturally we do not like to encourage vio lence; naturally wc all want to bt law abiding; but it does look like thc proper authorities should speedily come in and stop all such law lessness as is going on in Georgia and other stale. In'fact, it is claimed that in our own be loved state the head of the Farmers' Union a political organization has -talked too much and cone too far, and it is printed that already the Department of Justice is investigating his case. , There is only one way. President Wilson must be sustained. Wc arc in the war and we must be united and continue united if wc get out of it with honor and glory. To have these loud mouthed anarchists shooting off their views about the "constitutionality" of laws made in war times is to weaken our cause is to dishearten our soldiers. Congress has made these laws, the President is empowered to en force them, 'and the man who stops to argue their constitutionality "at this time is little short of being a traitor to this country. And treason is punishable by death. o And the hot wave is said to be sonse degrees warmer than for many years. In the big cities, where tin roofs' and crowded buildings radiate the " heat, many have suffered sun stroke. Down in the pine woods of the southland wc never hear about sun stroke. o . The Long Hot Spell was followed by, A I jot? Wet bpell in which the water fairly ran over itself. on SXXJB AT TVS VXWS 8TA5DS AAT OX TBAXXS MONTANA'S WAY IS JUDGE LYNCH The wild and, woolly west has furnished many examples of applying Lynch law, and in most cases it did the thing in the right way. Up at. Butte Wednesday, when that loud mouthed representative of the Industrial Workers of the World,1 an organized gang of anarcnists, called the soldiers scaos in uni form," some of the people who work took th& gentleman out and hanged him . to a bridge. The body was cut down and the incident is closed. The particular representative was one of the loud-mouthed kind. He had been over in Arizona raising all kinds of disturbance, and his passing by the rope route was about what he deserved. Mob law is never to be en couraged, but the court of Judge Lynch is not a moo law at all. iotmnfr liKe the irenziea people who shoot and burn negroes in the South. In the earlier days x in the west to steal a horse constituted a crime as grave as could be committed. Wlien a: man stole a. horse and was caught he knew the game was played. Those sturdy pioneers simply held a court, appointed a judge, and the proceedings were serious and solemn. The accused was given a chance for a hearing and the verdict was promptly rendered and the thief strung up to the nearest tree. And so these people in Mon tana who formed what they call the Vigilance committee. They simply did not propose to stand for anything that wasn't according to the rules and usages. To call soldiers scabs in uniforms passed the mark. The man had to die. And he died. And while on the subject it might be sug tcd that m othcr sections who" Jrc u,k; abou't fhc soldiers and who arcad- vising young men to resist the draft might thank their stars .that they do not live in the far west or northwest. Lynch law.and mob law are altogether "dif rerenC""Judge Lynch" js"dignifled and under stands his rights. o And so it is finally given out that the war will stop the building of a depot. It hath been said that a poor excuse is better than no ex cuse at all but the war increases railway reve nues, and while the road is enjoying unprece dented prosperity is the one time of all times that it could afford to build a depot But the railroad always has an excuse or makes one. - o General Otis Passes. When 'General Otis, of the Los Angeles Times, passed organized labor doubtless smiled. When organized labor dynamited the Los Angeles Times building and murdered many innocent men, organized labor attempt ed to put the crime on General Otis said.he had connived to blow up his own building in order to discredit labor unions. So strong was this miserable fabrication that many peo ple believed it, and General Otis knew it would never do to let the mystery remain unsolved. Being a strong character, a general in two wars, nc proceeded to investigate, and after Sam Gompers had proclaimed that labor was innocent and called on unions all over the country to defend the McNamaras, who were to be crucified by Capital and made victims of organized wealth, Otis proceeded to get the facts, and the result was the McXamaras, to save their precious necks from the callows. r r n t cii vn Trim nr-mni a M ....... e 1 . . t t i . . . in moIomvm and hliwn tm AnrnV nffcrS-!. ... - - - r - - - -r -r t-' and buildings and considered it a pleasant pastime to murder men. That was the creat est blow organized labor. ever received, be cause it was not only caught red-handed, but it confessed its crime in order to sive the lives of the conscienceless murderers who had con ducted the campaign. For this reason labor didn't shd any tears when Otis passed. But Otis did labor the best turn it ever had. -c cleansed thdorganization of the men who were willing to murder for money in order to carry a point. The Los Angeles Times, always a bitter foe to organ ized labor, is the richest and mist successful paper on the Pacific coast. o The Mosquito Fight Dr. Reives insists, and he is cqrrect, that un less the citizens get busy and assist in the mos quito fight there will be all kinds of malaria in this city the next few months. As City Physi cian and member of the Health Board he asks all our citizens to investigate the back" yards and sec if there arc any tin cans; or old buckets or vessels of any kind containing stagnant wa ter. If there is, he requests thit they be emp tied and turned bottom side upi It seems that August is the great month fcfr the mosquito to multiply, and water is his breeding place. So if all of us will clean up our own-back yards the health ofilters will take care of streets and alleys, and in this way we may be able to es-j cape an epidemic of fever. Health is the one thing in this world, and if evdry citizen would do nis duty mere would DC no levers. revers.

And so runs the world away and ESTABLISHED MAY, 190a. TRUE LOVE ALSO IN WAR TIMES If the curious person will search the records where marriage licenses are kept he will dis cover that ia.the months of June and July and August and . all the months of the .year men. and women: have married this for all ,the.:2 years since licenses have been granted. Long. before there was any thought of war, long be fore the Germans started into Belgium, in that August many marriage licenses were granted. in this country. and man and maiden wedded. ,: It is a custom as old as loye, as. old as the;, world to mate. And because young men and women have secured licenses to wed since war was declared some people want to insist- that the' men are slackers that they' have rushed into the double majority to escape a soldier's ; duty. On this subject the New fyork Herald has an interesting editorial as follows: v There is little reason for Senator Cal- ; der, members of the Mayor's Committee on National Defense of. anybody else be-j r coming excited over "war" marriages. It has been made clear by the War Depart- ' ment that no eleventh-hour wedding will give exemption to a man selected for serv- ; . ice in the national army. So far as that ' department is concerned the status of the bridegroom is exactly as it was before he . . uttered the fateful "I will." That is what', the country has a right to expect and does expect, because the department's decision is in keeping with the letter and the spirit of the law. ' r-Hi Suspicion that among thQse seeking en . try into the holy bonds at this time there are some "slackers" furnishes warrant for ' v the demand -made by the United States marshal that each Tyould-be. bridegroom v show his registration card. It i& the busi ness of officials of the; government to run . v. . to earth breakers of . the registration law : wherever they may be found. , Neither the presence at marriage license bureaus, of the United States marshal , or his deputies nor the coincidence of so .. many applications comingat this particu lar time should be permitted, however, -tor; ri create tne impression tnat ail war . mar- . riages are "slacker" marriages.. It prob ably is true of - the great majority that they represent nothing -else than the nat- - .' ural desire of man and maid to marry be- . fore the man leaves for his army service'. This is true in the humbler walks of, life, just as it is in others. Every "war" marriage of that kind should be encour aged, not decried. This appears to us to state the case. Per haps out of a hundred marriages ten of them were hastened because of fear of beirg drafted, but thousands of men who were engaged to their "ownest own" feel like the golden knot should be tied before they take their departure for the front." Every day there is some man who goes to the death bedof his betrothed and has the solemn ceremony performed, knowing that the woman he loves will never get from the sick chamber. Women marry men when they know they are dying, and when this pathetic sight is witnessed we hear no one talking, about "slackers." Early in the game the War Department made it known that those who got married after war, was declared would be treated as single men so we cannot see why man and maid cannot take the vow and become man and wife without people ac cusing them of wanting to escape a citizen's duty. ; o ;:. Only a few days now until the Long Hot Spell in August breaks, and then it won't be either the 1Ce man or the Coal man Sets yu- I - Z- n "Very Like A Whale." In these days and times men see things, and it isn't a hard matter to look at the clouds arid conjure up most Uriy thing, the mind suggests,.; The other day we printed a. story about a hen laying an egg that had mystic letters on it which finally proved to be a-sentence, "Stand by Wilson," and of course as all want to stand : by him the translator oi the lines on the egg was not disputed. And now comes the Oxford Ledger and tells us that an apple has been found bearing a picture of the American flag with an appropriate lettering. 'But this is what it says: There can be no doubt that these stren uous days leave their impress on the hu man mind, but no one thought that it ; r would pervade the vegetable kingdom. A very remarkable freak of nature, or .at--"' mospheric conditions, if you please, left v its impress upon an apple grown, on Mr. L. L. Crew's home place, seven .'miles south of Oxford. . The sun bleached it in beautiful colors, the American flag starid " ing out in bold relief, beneath which: are f the hyphenized letters "A-G," which -seem to imply "American-German." The apple Js on display at the Puglic Ledger office. , '' I -r.
