| KEEP YOUR EYES ON RITCHIE, SAYSJENRY Philly Judge Urges Action on Maryland Lynching. HONOR ELK DEAD Both Lodge Hold Services Sunday. "Keep your eyes on what Governor Ritchie does in the Salisbury lynch- I ing matter when you are thinking of him as presidential timber," Judge Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, told his hearers at the memorial services of the Monumental Lodge of! Elks, Sunday evening. "Every man in our group should let Governor Ritchie know that he is being closely watched to see whether he has done his duty in bringing the Salisbury mobbists to account," the jurist said. "Governor Ritchie has political ambitions for the presidency as has Governor Pinchot of my state, and, like Pinchot, Ritchie will listen to reason." Referring to the economic situation, the judge said: "I like not the word depression, for those depressed usually wind up in suicide. The word signifies a lack of religion and a loss of confidence. Believe in Self "I like to say that the world has not lost faith in us as long as we have not lost faith in ourselves."
