Against: Mobs Action of Governor Arousea Lawmakers toa Sense of Justice. The Governor of Kentucky has demonstrated to the world that lynch: ing and mob violence can be stopped, and ruMans can be made to obey the law. The killing of five people and wounding of several others at Lex- ington, Ky., has the right effect. There will be no further excuse for governors of other states who have angleworm backbone to say they can: not contro! mobs. The calling out of Federal troops to suppress mobs in Omaha, Chi- cago, Arkansas ind other states was & success. We need a Federal law which will compel the town, city or county to give protection to the pub- Mc or individual against violence or the relatives of the injured party may recover heavy damages and those in authority lose their office. Mob law must be put down or the country will continue to grow into bolshes tem and anarchy will continue to reign. If white men are permitted to mob, lynch and burn colored people ‘at will that mob will some day turr against itself and destroy the Sife and Property of their own race, There ts not another race or nation on the face of the earth tfat attempts te and commits the crimes the Amert can white man does, If he 1s allowed to continue as he now ie ft will nol ‘be safe for anybody to travel or koey valuables about them. They are act ing like Quentrell after the Civil War—robbing and stealing every thing in alght. The young white ‘man has grown desperate. The col ored American will have to hell [stamp out this outlawry or the whit race of America will be foreve doomed. * PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Louleville Man Introduces Measure— Bitter Opposition Made by the Cemocratic Members.

Everything New But the Man, Best Service Guarantecd. e-Aute Ambulance Phone 874, 309 Kansas Ave. . (From Baptist Brotherhood Bulletin) Open up, be ready for something new; if good, absorb it; if evil, dodge it if you can, but if not, combat it. Apply Jesus' remedy, "get behind me Satan," and go on smiling. Better fall trying than refusing. Keep up with the procession if it is possible. Excart minds and methods cannot hope to do it. A great change has come over our B. Y P. U We are having better services than ever before in the history of the church. Mrs. George Ralney who lies on Filmore street will entertain the Sisterhood at a fine dinner in the near future or as soon as health conditions will permit. Sister Ralney is some cook and I am wondering if I will be able to convince her that I belong to the Sisterhood. All church organization and club meetings are being abandoned for the present on account of the flu ban. Sister Mattle Perkins must be having a delightfully good time or she is terribly busy she does not have time to send any news to our little sheet. We were hoping all along that we would hear from her telling us what the Baptists are, doing out West. May be she is saving all the news until she returns to our city. We will be glad when she returns as we miss her in her place very much. We suppose as soon as the flu ban is lifted, the church Aid's first meeting will be at Sister T. W. Troupe's on Lincoln street; and the Sewing Circle will meet with Sister Jones and the Sisterhood with Sister Isabelle Walker on Garfield avenue. Our Sunday school is doing very good and with the earnest prayers of the superintendent, pastor and teachers in fact all concerned we hope to have a fine school very much improved by this time next year. Everyone seems to be full of smiles and the spirit and we are having very fine lessons. If you have not been coming out to this service there is no better time than now. You are losing some of the precious food you need by not coming to Sunday school. Come out a few Sundays for a trial and see if the services aren't so good that you will continue.

My first experience with your medicine was when it cured my husband of a very serious stomach trouble 18 years ago. Last winter when the 'Flu' was raging all over the country and 300 of the citizens and neighbors were suffering with this disease my son contracted this disease and I cured him in 5 days by giving him nothing but Gavitt's System Regulator.

Agents wanted in every county, write for our proposition. GOV. LOWDEN REAL FRIEND OF FARMER Record In Offices Proves His Interest in Measures to Benefit Agriculture Illinois Governor is Cotton Pianter, Stock Raiser and General Farmer —Fosters-Bills to Make Rural Life More Attractive, Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for president, is a practical and successful farmer. Born on a farm near Sunrise, Minn., of sturdy American parentage, he moved to Hardin county, Iowa, when he was 7 years old, where he worked his way through school later by teaching. When he came to Chicago he purchased a large farm near Oregon, Ill., which he now calls his home. This farm is one of the finest in Illinois. In addition to this he owns and operates two cotton plantations in Arkansas and has extensive stock breeding interests in Texas. Although he has been successful as a teacher, lawyer, business man and statesman, Lowden priors to be known as a farmer. He has a way of succeeding in everything he undertakes and his experience as a farmer is no exception to this rule. The governor's interest in farming has at no time been more forcibly shown than during the four years he has governed Illinois. In his inaugural address he laid out a broad policy which he has consistently followed for fostering every phase of agriculture. He said, on taking office: "Agriculture is our most important industry. It is the source of our greatness. Its continued success is the condition of any permanent prosperity within our borders. The conservation movement must concern itself with the soil, for even our brief history shows that fertile fields may become abandoned farms through other causes than lack of rainfall. The raising of the stock seems necessary if we are to preserve the fertility of the soil. We should foster this industry in every way we can. "We should encourage cooperative farming. Whatever you find agriculture in its highest state you find that cooperation has made its greatest advantage." One of the most notable measures taken by Gov. Lowden to foster agriculture was the civil administrative code. This act consolidated in the state department of agriculture various commissions and bureaus, created from time to time to aid the farming interests. The efficiency of administration was vastly enhanced by this centralization of responsibility, and the benefits to the rural population have been increasingly evident during the two years since the code was adopted. Moreover, through Gov. Lowden's active interest, a number of bills have been put through the legislature directly bearing on the farmer's lot. These include the bill for establishing a tenancy commission, for regulating commission morrhubs, the pure seed law, the revised dog law, compensation for the slaughter of tubercular cattle appropriation of $12,000) for a limestone plant, appropriation for a live stock biological laboratory, establishing a veterinary college, and regulating the spread of plant disease. The governor likes not only farms but farmers. In a speech recently he said: "In these troublesome times I often with I were governor of a state whose only citizens were farmers. The farmer is the greatest stabilizer in the country and if it were not for our G(M)(M) farmers I would despair of the future of America." LAST LINCOLN PALLBEARER LOOKS TO LOWDEN TO LEAD Simeon W. King, Friend of Emancipator, Expects Illinoisan's Record to Make Him Party Choice. Simeon W. King, active in Illinois Republican politics for 70 years and the last surviving pallbearer who officiated at the funeral services for Abraham Lincoln held in Chicago, has declared his intention of supporting Governor Frank O. Lowden for president. "I have voted for every Republican president since Lincoln and I expect to cast my ballot for Lowden next November," said Mr. King. "I have known Frank Lowden for thirty years, and he is just the type of man the country needs for president in this crisis of the country's history. He is able, honest, progressive, experienced and efficient. I remember when he first came to Chicago as a poor young man to study law. I saw him admitted to the bar and later enter public life and rise to fame, and I feel proud of his great success. "He has proven the best governor Illinois has ever had, and we have had some great executives in the history of the state." M.
