Gallows For II Daring Raider.


"daredefil Of Morgan's Raiders, "
occupied cell in the Jefferson
County jail charged with the mur>
der of his brother, james Il. York,
SO years old, in his home IN An
derson county, last Friday after
noon, when the members of the
household were attending the coun-
ty fair m Lawrenceburg, Ky.
The prisoner is II years old and
Pinkert"n detectives say they
have convincing evidence of the
old mans guilt. He stoutly
malntaius his innocence, and aoks
everyone who visits him if 1t il
creditable that his wrinkled old
hands wonld be guilty of the foul
srime charged against him.
William H. York fought gal /,
luntly under Gen. John H. Nor
gan. He was known to his com,
radcs AS "duredevil Bill. ;, Since
the war he has had the respect vf
his fellow man in Anderson coun-
ty,fand although the circumstances
seem to point clearly to his guilt,
few believe that he could have
committed the decd of which he IS
accused.
James r. York, the murdered
man, was one of the wealthiest
men in the county, and had long
been regarded as one of the most
philanthropic men in the State.
he was widower and resided
with MIR. and Mrs. William Wal l.
lace, hhe latter niece, and the
daughter of the brother who is
now accused OF the murder. A
short distance from the Wallace
home lived William York with
another'daughter and her husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. ByrdwhistIe.
The elder York had always been
very liberal to his brother and the
latter's family. Long ago he
decided the house and farm on
which he lived to Mrs. Wallace.
He had made other rich bequests
to the other children OF his brother
William, aud the latter, too, had
frequently come in for much of
his brothers. fortune. Finally,
becoming dlsgusted with Williams
recklessness, James York refused
to give him further aid. 1t is
said that more than a year ago he
made u will in which he bequeath.
ed part of his fortune to his nieces
and nephews, and made generous
bequests to educational institu-
tlons, but cutting the brother off
without sa dollar. When this fact
became known it is said the brother
became angry, and several times
threatened James. The detectives
even assert that several months
ago he tried to hire man to kill
his brother, offering 800 for the
deed.
Tho Wallace and Byrdwhistle
families returned to their home
from the fair about the same time
on Friday afternoon. Lying on =
cot in the hallway of Wallace
house was the body of j. r. York,
his head almost torn from the
body with two loads of shot from
double-barreled shotgun.
OMr. and Mrs. Byrdwhistle dis.
covered that their shotgun, which
had hung over the door in their
bedroom for years, had been dis
charged, but the person using it
had replaced it on the rack over
the door upside down, and when
the door was opened it struck the
hammers of the gun, causing 1t to
fall to the floor.

Is the Revolution Jewish?

Wild reports have come from Rus
sia Ike dust in a windstorm. Regi-
ments have disappeared in swollen
streams. private soldiers have massa-
cred their officers, rebels have. seized
towns and have both been driven
from them and remained in posses
sion, organized robbers have terror
ized all organized force of the law,
and the same army has been at once
the mainstay of the rebels and the
backbone of the government. Many
of these stories may be true; ali of
them cannot be.
One of the most interesting reports
in this yield is that brought
by Russian recently arrived in New
York from the scenes of violence. He
says, as the Novoe Vremya has said
previously, that the unknown lead
ers Of the present revolution are He
brews. The men of that race, their
property seized without shadow of
right, their families outraged, their
every nsibilIty-personal, affection
ate, -wantonly disregarded
might well be the leaders in such
an unprising.
Against lesser expressions the
Jews have more than once before
arisen to smitc their rulers. Judas
Maccabaeus, for example, made ar
army out of material as unwieldy as
that which has awaited leadership
In Russia Idumaeans, Ammonites
Syrians, alike went down before his
little army, weak in number, but
mighty in a good cause and fred with
indignation. And they set up good
government in lieu Of that which
they tore down They made Jerusa
lem a godly city. They re-establish
ed in the temple the worship of one
god. At the last, when they wen
down before a superior force, they

COLLEGE TEACHERS

the college athletic field as il was pic
tured today by speakers at the meeting
of the college section OF the Illinois
Teachers Association. In the picture
the college man was shown in the sew
eraI stages of transition.
He was painted as a liar. attempting
to defend the athletic reputation OF his
college by sacrificing it's honor in white
washing the records OF disqualified ath-
letes; he was shown on the side lines
In the garb of a common gambler plac-
ing bets on the favorite team; he was
cast in the role of a swindling specu-
lator in tickets; he was pictured at the
end of his four years college career as
a haggard. gaunt man with the look OF
dissipation in his face. starting into his
greater life with a reputation on the
gridiron, but with many prostituted
ideals as his assets.
This composite was slowly developed
by half a dozen speakers. and when the
last speaker had put the finishing
touches upon the picture a resolution
was presented by W. ii. Blanchard

The Expansion of Bryan.

We are permitted to learn that the
Hon. William jennings Bryan has
been entertained at Malolos. Philip
pine Islands, where he was rendered
q banquet and delighted with much
native oratory.
1t is scarce necessary to say Mr..
Bryan also spoke, and, certainly and
in all seriousness, it is not necessary
to say he charmed his hearers. No
one who ever sat beneath the spell
of the mans wonderful and magnetic
personality can feel any hesitancy
on that particular phase of the sub
ject. The veracious chronicler whom
we have especially in mind an
nounces that Mr.. Bryan was ap-
plauded, despite the fact that there
was some disappointment In his
audience that he had not attacked
the Administration
The Late candidate of the Democ-
racy is becoming wise in his gen.
Grafton. A few years ago he would
have attacked the Administration as
certainly as the sun shines. There
would have been a waving of free
dom's starry banner in the Philip
pines that would have been delight
full and the eagle would have screech-
ed his approval from his mountain
aerie- TYrants everywhere would
have trembled
But Mr.. Bryan wakes wary-he
acquires the saving grace of discre-
ton, with more years and less flowing
locks. Gradually, but very surely,
he assimilates the fact that there is
a time for golden silence, just as
there are occasional moments de-
signed for silver speech. He learns
that to make an impression a man
must have something to say and that
when he has said it he mus. be pre-
pared to prove its every word.
The guileless inhabitants of Malolos
may have been disappointed that
Mr.. Bryan failed to attack the Ad-
ministration, just as his enemies in
this country will be displeased and
chagrined when they hear of 1t
Others will be delighted. They viii
take it as proof of a conviction they
have long entertained-tha one oi
the most remarkable specimens o.
expansion on record is the Hon. vii
liam Jennings Bryan himself. And
he is expanding on the right lines.

The President and Ben.

Former Governor Odell continues
to titillate waiting world with the
revelations he is going to make about
President Roosevelt. Every day he
calls the reporters together and pours
into their too willing ears dire hints
and dark forebodings. We are given
to understand that when he does
get ready to lifC the lid there will be
a political CONFUSION. Worse, per-
hapS.
The promise the late governor
chairman intimates he has up his
sleeve concerns the corporate contri-
buttons made to the last Republican
campaign fund and the manner of
their collection. If the intimation
means anything at all it is that these
contributions were solicited, directly
or indirectly, by the President and
made on the consideration of promis-
es by him given. If they mean less
than this. SO far as they concern
Mr.. Roosevelt, they mean nothing at
Ail.
1t viii be remembered that these
charges have been made once before
and under more impressive circum-
stances. Their sponsor then was a
man of character and reputation, the
candidate of great political party
for the highest Office in the gift of
the people. The charges were made
in the midst of the storm and stress
of a great political combat. They
were answered then-and the answer
will stand. This statement, which
has never been challenged, came
from the White House:
The gravamen of these charges lies in
the assertion that the corporations have
been biackmailed into contributing, and
in the implication. which in one or two
of MI. ParkerS sDeeches has taken tie
form practically of an assertion, that
they have been promised certain tmmu-
mites or favors or have been assured
that they would receive some kind OF
improper consideration in view of their
contributions. That contributions have
been made to the Republican committee
as contributions have been made to the
Democratic committee, is not the Ques-
tion at issue. Mr.. Parker's assertion Is
IN euect lnaJ SuCn ndNt
been made for improper motives, eithel
in consequence of threats or in conse-
quence of improper promises, direct ol
indirect, on the part of the recipients
Mr. Parker knows best whether this !:
true Of the contributions TO his cam
paign fund which have come through
his trusted friends and advisers wh'
represent the great corporate Interests
that stand behind him.
But there is not one particle Of trutf
in the statement as regards anythinf
that has gone on in the management o.
the Republican campaign
The American people believe tha
statement and Judge Parker offered
no proof in contradiction. The
mouthings of disappointed poll
tician will not avail TO shake public
confidence. Just as the President.
whole life has been a testimony K
his truth and honor, so the life ot
Mr. Odell testifies the other thing.
It is unlikely the President requires
reinsurance that this is the public
feeling and sentiment and confidence
II is not probable he will see fit u
answer the vaporings of the politi
cally aggrieved. 1t is hoped he viii
not, for the spectacle of Mr. Roose
welt and Mr. Odell in serious contro
versy would be one 10 make thu
Presidents enemies chortle in theil
glee.
