DRUNKEN MOB
Fires Into Church Folk and Three Men
Are KiIIed-Pastor is Shot.

Jellico, Tenn, Sept. 2S.-One of the
blocdiest affairs in the history of East
Tennessee occurred near the Tennes.
see-Kentucky line, north Of Anthras
Postofiice, Sunday. The scene was the
little Baptist church within so yards
of which a blind tiger has been oper-
ated for months.
Just as the services had closed Sun
day morning and nearly all the con
gregation had emerged from the
church, crowd Of drunken men, who
had visited the blind tiger, began fir
ing into the church people with pistols.
John Bennett, w. Mckinney and Ed
ward Thomas were shot down near the
church steps and died almost instant
ly, streams Of blood from the wounded
bodies flowing down the steps of the
little church.
The preacher, a Rev. King, was shot
and mortally wounded in the church
yard. Another worshiper, named Glib
sen, was also shot down in front of
the church, but he is not dangerously
wounded.
The tragedy was nothing more than
drunken l.Iob's work. Anthras is
five miles off a railroad and has no
telephone connection. Jellico officers
could not learn the names of any OF
the men implicated in the shooting.
All of the dead and wounded men
were men of families except Bennett.

Whose finish?" said l.
"Oh, we will probably be beaten"
he admitted, but we want to give
them campaign of education and en-
lightenment. What that ward needs,
what every ward needs, is chance to
have it's higher nature aroused. What
they want, I'm convinced. is more op-
portunity to sec the light"
my friend" was my reply, "Pve
Travelled some in that ward. What
they want there is not more light, but
more beer"
Yet, despite sometimes misdirected
energy, these men and their associa-
tions did much in making political
conditions better. For that they de-
serve substantial credit. So long as
they were absolutely non-partisan they
welded considerable influence, and
properly, but on occasion they allowed
prejudice to bias them and did injus-
tice to good men.
The other type of well-known re-
former was the one who continually
headed reform" movements. He
might be a candidate for alderman, or
the legislature, or congress. But wher.
ever there was a ''kick" coming, and
a meeting advertised to protest. or or
ganiZe, this class would be on hand
early and get the Craftsmanship of the
meeting, usually coming out in a
ringing" speech of denunciation
against the infamy which the citizens
had met to combat. This put the re-
former next" if it was proposition
to nominate an opposition candidate,
and he ofteu g0U away with the nomi-
nation. Or, if he was a professional
man, lawyer, doctor, or a real es-
tate man, even; it was pretty fair ad-
vertisement, wasn't it? Not so poor"
to have your picture in the paper next

business and your speech, etc. Some
thing that would have cost you coin

for nothing. And then the reporters

ct started about you.
And in every large city / suppose
there are only few bright promoters
like that standing around waiting to
sell a gold brick or two.
Some of these "reformers" were
pretty fierce when they happened to
land in an office. A few of them were
swept into the city council astride the
top Of wave of popular Indignation
and they were the hungry boys, some
of them. They were simply on the
qui vive to be approached" And
when they were tempted they fell

ton. What are we here for?" was
their slogan, and they went after fran
chise "divvies" or any other "divvies"
like a terrier after rat.
Real reforms were not so elaborate
ly advertised as the sham ones; the
louder the "holler" about the reform,
the less genuine reform was in sight
And then there were the "fad" reform
ers, going about seeking what they
might devour in the shape Of having
unmuzzled dogs caught with soft
curtain rope instead Of a. wire moose,
cab-horses provided with seats while
waiting for a fare, the distribution of
copies of Browning's poems to cross
ing policemen, or some such similar
projects.
There are sometimes uneasy people
in every community who want to run
the rest of their neighbors; the bigger
the community the greater they are
liable to be in number. And In city
of two millions of inhabitants they are
sure to be found. They haunt the gal
lery in the council chamber of the
city, they infast the mayors Office,
they surge in with the crowds having
hearings in the public offices in the
city halls, and whenever they have no
connection whatever.
Substantial reforms are Of slow
growth. 1t took over 20 years steady
work to drive the infamous justice of
the peace system out of Cook county.
Some notable reformers went along
very we'll for time until they got so
prominent that they were offered a
high-salaried political position. And
then they dropped practically from
sight as reformers and reappeared as
pay roll artists. This caused at times
a revulsion OF, feeling among the re-
formers at heart but they did not let
a little thing like that entirely discour-
age them.
l got so that I could usually "spot"
| reformer as far as l could see him.
| The majority of reformers are very
busy walkers and takers. They are
not confined to one nationality, al
though l should judge that the bulk
of them are Americans. They all have
missions" If you agree with them,
and do everything they ask, you are
"a patriot" If you disagree with some
of them in any way, shape or manner,
you are either scoundrel or without
mental balance. But to be "a patriot
in the eyes of those who were fanati
cal you must accede to their demands
Patriots" said Sir Robert Peel
they spring up like mushrooms in
the night; can make so patriots in q

tion to perennial reform which was
genuine. Not that the reformers did
not occasionally have IAN ak to grind,
but that, in the main, they aided the
best candidates. But at times they
saddled themselves with some bogus
reformer and jammed him through
at the polls, felicitating themselves
that they had put another over the

reality only added cheap CRATER

When this happened it made the
