NIGHT RIDERS
INVADE INDIANA

Indianapolis, May 1O.-Night riders,
presumably from Kentucky, made their
appearance in Dearborn and Switzer'
land counties early this morning and
destroyed beds of tobacco plants and
left notices warning growers not to
attempt making crops this year.
At the farm of Henry Kaiser, the
marauders dug a grave in the toba2,
90 bed, put into it an old sword and a
box Of matches and left a note saying
that he would occupy the grave If he
attempted to make crop. The letter
also threatened destruction of his
buildings and farm machinery.
When Sheriff Burton was notified
he sent to this city for bloodhounds to
trail the night riders.

WOOD PULP RESOLUTION FOR
RUNcoMBE ONLY.

The speaker of the national house
has introduced his resolution for All
Independent investigation of the
paper trust and the allegations that
have been made against it by the
publishers. The resolution was passed.
yesterday and the speaker appointed
an investigating committee. But If
any of the standpatters imagine that
they are fooling any one their ca
pacity for self-destruction is extra
ordinary.
Who takes the resolution seriously?
Who will take the investigation ser
iously in view of its origin and pur-
pose? 1t will be regarded as an in
vestigation for "BuncOmbe only" The
new trust busters are in no hurry.
Though there is nothing doing" in
congress, it is not expected that tho
work will be completed before ad-
journment. And then the national
conventions will monopolize atten-
ton, and no one will remember wood
pulp. After that the dog days will
furnish an excuse for a slow pace.
Our standpat friends intend to Tex
plot" the resolution in their dee
Btricts," to point to it with affected
pride as a statesmanlike substitute
for revision. They will run the risk
Of hooting and jeering. Their little
game is too transparent. Their only
serious argument-that they could
not touch wood pulp and paper with
out opening the whole tariff question
was gone when it was shown that
the admitted need of forest-saying
furnished a complete and convincing
reason for treating the wood pulp
and paper duties as belonging to a
separate and distinct category The
house minority is on record as acqut,
escing in guch treatment of these
duties. The anxious standpatters
know that telling quotations from
presidential messages and Tesolu,
tions of manufacturers and clubs and
other organizations were at their dis
posal to Justify to all minds the sing
ling out of the schedule in question
for revision at this time. They are
reckoning WITHOUT the common sense
and the humor of their constituents

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM

No failure of the legislature to
respond to public wishes was more
marked than in the matter of Sc
curing to the people a larger share
in legislation. The combination Of
public utility corporations and poliT-
ical bosses has temporarily triumphed
over the will of the people. Friends
OF this reform, instead of being dis
couraged should simply grid them
selves for more determined contest.
This is a government of the people,
for the people, and by the people, and
eventually the people will have the
power to legislate for themselves.
Responsibility for the present fail
ure must not, though, be overlooked.
All friends of the movement should
remember that Speaker Eagleson is
chiefly responsible. The resolution
submitting a constitutional amend
ment passed the senate. There il
had been amended until its efficiency
was doubtful. The friends of the
movement, though, determined to ac-
cept these amendments. The very
fact that they accepted them seemed
to demonstrate to the opponents that
they had not gone far enough and the
judiciary committee of the house got
busy. When it got through the name
Initiative and Referendum remained,
and that was about all. The house
stood by its committee. The senate
refused to concur in the house
amendments This situation compell-
ed the appointment Of conference
committee.
Speaker EaglesOn then did an absO-
Iutely unprecedented thing in legis-
lation. He appointed as the house
members Of the conference committee
three members who had voted against
initiative and referendum altogether.
In other words, his appointees were
not taken from the majority in the
house who favored an initiative and
referendum in some form. but from
the small minority who were against
the initiative and referendum in any
form. OF course. his committee did
what was expected of it, to defeat ah-
solutely the proposition. Speaker
EagIeson has proven himself in this
matter and other matters a traitor
to public interests, and the people
of the state will do well to remem-
ber his name and see to it that he
never again has an opportunity to
betray their interests.
The Democrats in the senate must
of ha h1tr
The house passed the Wertz bill pro
viding for the initiative and referen-
dunn in municipal affairs. The SEN
ate defeated it, again demonstrating
the truth that the conspiracy of cor
rupt business and political bosses is
absolutely non-partisan. The umbili-
cal cord of graft and greed binds
together the traitors to public inter
ests in both parties.-Cleveland Press.

Mckinley Photograph Will Go and
Memorial Building Cannot Have 1t.

Z. T. Ziegler, who owns a number
of the last photographs which the
late President William Mckinley had
taken before entering the White
House, yesterday withdrew his offer
to sell the copy which hung at the
Buffalo and jamestown expositions
to the county commissioners for
$3.50, and refused to sell this par.
ticular copy.
Mr. Zeigler stated that he had re.
ceived word from Bert Clay, of the
Courtland hotel, at Canton, Ohio, tell
ing him not to sell this picture, as
Canton wants it for that city. How
ever, Mr.. Zeigler offered any one of
the other copies, which have never
been on exhibition, to the county
commissioners for 500 The commits
siCners considered buying copy for
the new Memorial building and has
adopted a resolution to purchase the
historical copy, but rescinded their ac-
tion at the request of Mr.. Ziegler.
They will probably take up the matter
of the purchase of one of the other
photographs later Each photograph
has the signature of the martyred
president written across the bottom,
and Mr.. Ziegler has affidavits to prove
the signatures are all genuine, they
having been signed at the request
of the late Samuel Courtney, the Can
ton photographer who made the photo
graphs, three of which were purchased
by President McKinley.-Cincinnai
