A few years ago Bryan was the buga- boo. Now 1t is Hearst. Word has been sent throughout the land that if Hearst should be elected governor of New York, the country will go to the demnition bow vows But Hearst is really not such a bad fellow after all. It is true he is err ratio in measure, and somewhat of a grandstand player, but there is lots more good in Hearst than the public generally knows.
 In Secretary Roots attack upon him., he quotes an article as if it were an editorial written by Hearst himself, att taclxing the late President Mckinley. As a matter of fact, this vicious attack upon the late President was a signed article in the columns of the Journal, written by a well known writer, who afterwards sup ported Roosevelt for the presidency, as against Parker. Hearst not only never wrote the article but probably never saw it until after it appeared in print. Hearst has an army of men writing for his papers, and the man who wrote that ar

@ HE timidity of the man with the IVY dollar is a queer thing in this
 day. The man of brain or brawn is willing to risk his qualities in compe- tition with the other or equal classifiea- tion. But the man with the dollar in these times of political upheavals. and concert of action among all parties and people alike to bring about honesty of administration in all things, seems afraid of any shadow which might be made by a mere rabbit In crossing the road
 I refer particularly to good friend of mine-a man of much wealth-who had contemplated a big work in Birmingham It required not only much money of his own, but much to be borrowed, to com plete the work. The most conservative estimate showed prospect of enormous profits Yet the prospects of political upheayal in the country has frightened him, and one of the greatest and most needed of big things for Birmingham is temporarily called off
 There is no use in mentioning particu- lars, because more nervy ones are to take up the work and it will go through in time-and very soon.
 The fact of the matter is that there are many men of money in this coun- try, who are lending money in the south. who are threatening southern borrowers in order to get their influence to prevent exposure of themselves as to how they got the money they are lending.
 Look at the life insurance companies, for instance. Where will you find one that has been honestly administered? Of course there are honest ones, but they are few and far between. Many of the men who control them, as well as the men at the heads of some other large financial institutions in this country are afraid of candidates for political office, who might probe too deeply in their investigations. They are, therefore. using every influence to elect men whom they can control and they are endeavoring to put temporary brake upon develop ments throughout the country, in order to frighten men of money all over the country into supporting men for office whom they can control.

WILL MRS. MCKINNEY
BE AGAIN TRIED?
Apparent Difficulty of Proving Sanity
Presents Serious Prob
lem.

Aledo, H., March 2.-(SpeciaD.-
There is considerable discussion in
Mercer county over the attitude in
which the states attorney is placed
in the Mckinney case since the grant
ing of a new trial to the defendant
Under the law an insane person can
not be found guilty of crime while the
insanity continues, although the one so
affected may be tried and acquitted
where the defense is that the acts
were committed when insane.
Mrs. Mckinney was not only proven
to have been insane at the time of
her trial by the witnesses for the state
as well as those for the defense, but
the attorneys for the state admitted in
their arguments that she was then in
sane. 1t is highly improbable that the
state can prove her sane at the time
of the next trial. so the states attor-
ney is confronted with a situation
which it is possible under the law for
Mrs Mckinney to be acquitted but i'm
possible for her to be found guilty.
In case of another trial, no matter
whether she is acquitted or found to
be then insane, the county will be COM
PEELED to pay the costs, which are al
ready quite large, and in either event
the result is just as apt TO be another
defeat for the state as anything else.

MCKINLEY SYNDICATE
TO BUILD ANOTHER LINE
Proposed Interurban From Ottawa to
Streator, Thence to
Pontiac.

Announcement is made that the Nc
Kinley syndicate will build during the
coming spring and summer new cleo
trio interurban line in the northern
part of the state. to connect at Spring
field with the Illinois traction system
and TO become a part of the great
Illinois system of electric intCrurban
railways. The announcement follows
an Sll-day conference in Chicago be-
tween Congressman w. B. Mckinley,
head of the Mckinley syndicate, and
H. e. Chubbuck, general manager of
the Illinois Valley Railway company
which resulted in a decision to author
ize V j. Duncan, their legal represen-
tative, at Ottawa, to make the an
nouncement that the company was pre-
pared to build a line from Ottawa to
Streator, thence to Pontiac, just as
soon as reasonable franchises could be
secured.
The Mckinley syndicate. so it is
stated, considers the proposition to
build line from Pontiac to Ottawa
by way of Streator one of the best in
the state. At Pontiac the line will con-
meet with the proposed Bloomington
Pontiac line, which, when completed,
will make a continuous line connecting
Ottawa, Streator, Pontiac, Blooming
ton, Springfield, and thence to Decatur
and Champaign, or south TO st. Louis.

Springfield is Quiet After
Two Anti-NegrO
Outbreaks.
WOUNDED MAN ALIVE
Troops Remain on Guard Till

Springfield, Ohio. March 2.-Last
night passed with no repetition of the
riotous scenes of the two previous
nights in this city. Troops will not be
withdrawn until after Sunday. Brake,
man Davis is still alive.
Mob Grows Active.
Springfield, Ohio, March 2.-After
a day of quiet from the mob which has
held sway for two nights, last evening
was ushered in with indications that
more depredations against the colorel
population had been planned for the
night. Troops were sent to the point
of the expected attack.
One house was fired, but the troops
sent in the alarm and the structure
was only slightly damaged. The riot
ers escaped.
As a precautionary measure Colonel
Ammel posted two machine guns and
a company of troops at the court house
and Jail and the entire square was cut
off. The distribution of guns and troops
over the city had a depressing effect
on the rioters and with the exception
of small affrays but little out of the
ordinary happened
Arthur Aneil, a member of the Xenia
military company, was hit in the head
with a brick said to have been thrown
by rioter and fatally hurt last night.
