The Herald was opposed TO any ap-
preparation being made to the James
town Fair. We should have been glad
If the Governor had vetoed the bill
making the appropriation. But as he
did not do so. but signed it and made
1t law, what right has he to refuse
to execute that law? No right, except
according to the Memphis idea"
which regards public Office as a pri-
vate snap. and Law as a meaningless
word except for the control of the
other fellow The Banner says "the
State decided not to exhibit. That is
where the Banner is wrong. The
State decided to exhibit the Governor
decided not to. The State legislature |
made law; Mr.. Patterson decided to
ignore it. That is the Memphis

escape are so many that when a jury
has convicted a criminal and a higher
court has sustained the verdict there
is not often a good reason why the
tistics show that the verdicts of juries
are by no means final and that an
enormous number of criminals are
turned loose upon society when they
should be kept in prisons. 1t is this
prospect of escape from serving a SEN
tence that constitutes the wide diff
ference, from the standpoint of the
murderer, between the life SEN
tence" and the death penalty. The
latter is equally exacted while the
public mind retains enough of the
facts in the case to make commute
ton unpopular and difficult to explain.
But after a murderer who should have
been hanged has remained in prison |
for few years-say about the length !
of time man might serve for stealing !

FOR letting him out.
While Governors remain so easy Of

Anderson County Courier: "Sena-

Senate. He could get only four votes
against the bill to repeal the charter
of LaFollette. If he were a candidate
before the people of his district today
this would be about the proportion Of

A correspondent writing from Nor

says:

Mrs. Mary Reed, says the Nashville
American, was a pretty young widow
of Temple. Texas, and James Todd
and Charles Jones were warm rivals
and ardent suitors for her hand. Two
weeks ago she married Todd. Four
days later he died suddenly. A week
later she married Jones. The only
way to get away from a widow is to
die.

THE JAMESTOWN EXHIBIT

The Banner knows there is going tc
be no Tennessee Exhibit at James
town. The American has like knowl-
edge. The difference between the pa
pers, however, lies in the fact that
the American recognizes facts, and the
Banner pretends not to. With no pos
sibility of State exhibit. there is alb
solutely no inconsistency in the Amer
lean indorsing the establishment of
Nashville headquarters at the EXPOSE
ton. Because the State decided not
to exhibit Is no reason why Nashville
should not be represented. The Ban
ner may as well bow to the inevitable,
and quit complaining.-The American
The Banners information in this
matter Is limited to that which has
been vouchsafed the general public.
1t knows that at it's recent session the |
General Assembly passed a bin APP |
propriating $20,50O for State exhibit
at the jamestown Fair; that the Gov
ernor signed the bill and appointed
Commission to execute its purposes. |
1t knows that this law still stands,
but that two months have elapsed
with nothing done to put it into execu-
ton. It knows of the seeming reluc-
lance of the Executive authority to-
it, but it knows no reason why
this should be SO. 1t knows, too, that

TIME TABLE CHANGES
ON THE PENNSYL VAN|A
They Will Go Into Effect on
March 81.
TRAINS TO CINCINNATI.

The local Pennsylvania ticket offices
have received the new time cards
which will go into effect March 81, on
all lines running out of Richmond.
One of the most noticeable features Is
that Richmond travellers going to Gin
cinnati. will have the advantage of five
morning trains, which will leave at
$50, 5:05, 5:5o. 700 and 1910, the last
mentioned not running on Sunday.
The trains are all good and afford the
best of accommodations for the trip.
The charges on the new cards are
not numerous. but those made are i'm
portant. 1t is thought the. recent de-
cision of sthe railroad officials 20
lengthen the running schedules on fast
trains is largely responsible for the
changes.
The Chicago express. which is due in
Richmond each morning at 4:05, will
not arrive till 40 after Monday The
train which leaves now at
40 a. M. will not leave until 4:Jo.
The accommodation arriving in Rich
mond from Logansport at 5:15 each
evening will not arrive until o'clock.
The Logansport accommodation. which
leaves at 4 o'clock each morning. will
not leave Richmond until 6:4o here
after.

HELP To RELIEVE
FREIGHT CONGESTION
Handlers From Other Cities
Will Be Brought to Rich
mond Over Sunday.
CONDITIONS GROW WORSE.
OPENING OF SPRING WEATHER
MATERIALLY ASSISTED IN Pill
ING UP THE SHIPMENTS AT
THIS POINT.

The congested freight condition on
grown so critical that thirty-five to
forty freight handlers from Anderson,
Hamilton, O., Elwood and kokomo
will come to this city tonight and
Sunday morning to help relieve the
condition. Easter Sunday will have
no meaning to them, other than work
all day, to once more get the blockad-
ed freight moving out of Richmond.
Between one hundred and fifty and
one hundred and seventy-five. loaded
cars are standing alongside the local
freight house, waiting to be unloaded.
The cars as they stand, are loaded
with merchandise for different points,
all small shipments. These will have
to be unloaded Ind all freight for
certain points from several cars
loaded into ore. Under existing con-
ditions the railroad has not been able
to furnish thI smaller shippers with
separate carJ and have loaded all
pickup freight" promiscuously and
as it all has to be unloaded. separated
and loaded again by the local freight
handlers, mum mbering about fifty, they
have become swamped and it is neces-
sary to call in help from other freight
stations on divisions running out of
Richmond.
Conditions Grow Worse.
During the past week the amount of
small freight centering in Richmond
has been of great quality, all due to
the warm weather which has had a
great stimulating effect upon all
freight movements. This has tended
to make local conditions radically
worse. The freight congestion has
been practically relieved in the yards,
but nevertheless the yard crews are
required to work constantly TO prevent
further congestion. Several times
this year the freight conditions have
been threatening in the yards but by
diligent work on the part of the yard
crews, the cars have been handled
In view of the fact that the local
force of freight handlers does not
seem able to care for the rapidly
growing freight business, especially
the small consignments. it is prob
able a large number of men will be
added to the present force permanent
Iy
The men will work all day Sunday
and it is probable that in case the
working force of near one hundred
men cannot clear the cars and reload
them some of the foreign helpers will
remain in Richmond until the bad
Aonditions are entirely relieved.

KENNEDY STILL IN

Veteran Became intoxicated
A Second Time.
MAY BE SENT TO DAYTON.

James Kennedy, the old soldier ar
rested Thursday night at the Panhan-
die station for drunk and disorderly
conduct, is again in the tolls and he
probably will be sent back to the Sol
diers' home at Dayton, O. After
Kennedy was released Friday morning
he wandered toward the Panhandle
station to take a train to Chicago. On
arriving at the station he found that
his ticket was no longer good SO TO for
get his disappointment he again par
took of the cup that cheers.
The veteran finally became so drunk
that he fell over a bicycle standing I'm
front of the engine house on North
Eighth street. Firemen came to his
rescue and it was some time before
was untangled from the
spokes and frame of the bicycle. He
was turned over to the police. who
think the best place for the old fellow
is back at the Soldiers home. which
he should never have been permitted
to leave.
