With another big strike in the
textile Industries of Lawrence, and
many indictments out charging both
strikers and owners with the unlaw
ful use of dyuamite, the public can
only suspend judgment until the
courts can sift the evidence and
determine the blame for the out-,
rages. That the dyuamiting was
not done altogether by the strikers
Uas already been shown. The own
era have been guilty of planting
uyuaniite in the homes of strikers
tor the purpose of biasing public
opinion U also known.
Little less startling than the *r
ust of the McN'amara brothers was
the indictment of President Wood,
of the American Woolen Company,
commonly known as the wool trust,
a few days ago, ou the charge of
conspiracy, endangering lives and
property, to bring about the false
arrest of striking woolen mill em
ployes at Lawrence, Mass., by caus
ing dynamite to be concealed in
their homes.
It was proved in court that the
arrested strikers in whose homes
i he dynamite was found did not put
it there. John Breen, an undertak
er, has been tried, convicted and
fined for that offense. He was not
associated with the strikers in any
way and plainly was a tool. More
over. the light punishment he recaiv
ed and the efforts that were made
to avoid publicity in his case seem
ed scandalous to some close observ
ers at the time.
Krnest A. Pitman, a wealthy
contractor who built the new mills
in Lawrence for Mr. Wood's com
pany, committed suicide after an
interview with the district attorney
and a .summons to appear before
the grand jury. That Pitman ob
tained dynamite from a stone
quarry just before the explosive
was found in the homes of Law
rence strikers is the testimony of
the (|uarryman who sold it to him.
Obviously "men higher up" than
breen are responsible for this con
spiracy. Whether or not Mr.
Wood is one of them can only be
demonstrated in court. But the
case should be probed to the very
bottom and the facts made public.
The country is entitled to know

There seems to be a reaction on
the part of surgeons against ihe
practice of removing tonsils and
oth>*r organs of the body when
ever they become diseased. Dr. John
N. McKenzie of John Hopkins Uni
versity says that the indiscriminate
removal of the tonsils is, among all
surgical insanities, not excepting
the onslaught on the appendix, ab
solutely the worst. .Moreover, "nev
*r in the history of medicine." he
says, "has the lust for operation on
the tonsils been as passionate as it
is at the present time; It is not
simply the surgical thirst from
which we have all suffered in our
earlier days, just as at still earlier
days we suffered from the measles;
It is a mania, a madness, an abses
?loa."
The council chamber in the city
hall of Rochester, New York, has
been used or some years on Sunday
afternoons as a forum for the free
discussion of public questions. The
common council chamber of the city
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has re
cently been used, during the time
when it was not needed for meet
ings of the city council, as the
headquarters of &u Institute of mu
nicipal and social service. In St.
Paul, Minnesota, the use of the city
hall has been given to citisens as a
meeting place for the promotion of
public welfare. This use of the city
halls for a kind of voluntary and
unofficial town meetings Is a nat
ural and normal one.

to be certified by bis neighbors "of

Connecticut every candidate for the
local assembly bad to furnish a certifl
