NIGHT RIDERS IN TEXAS.

How quickly and how far naugh-
ty example can soon spread is shown
by the frequent reports of night rid
ers in Texas which are carried ia
he days news.
Originally the night riders were
supposed to be limited to small
section of Kentucky, but their oper-
atoms have been carried into several
other southern states, to the credit
of neither the riders nor the states
which failed to check them, says the
Fort Worth Telegram.
The Texas adjutant general has Of
fered to send rangers into any COM
munity where protection is desired
from unidentified persons threaten
ing damage to property. This is COM
mendable enough in the attorney
generals department, as is also the
Offer of President Neill of the Far
for the arrest and conviction of such
law breakers.
Neither method, however, is who'll
ly satisfactory. No Texas communi-
ty should need rangers or reward to
impress upon it the Importance of
enforcing upon its people the senti-
ment that lawlessness must not be
tolerated Rigorous, summary, even
drastic treatment for the first band
of night riders that may be caught
would have a more wholesome eff
feet on checking the spread of the
idea than anything else.
A prompt meeting of grand
jury. Indictment, trial. conviction
and Imprisonment will cool the ar
dor of any man who fancies he has
a right to modest the property of
others under cover of darkness.
Communities threatened by night
riders should use every means to
solve their own problem.
They will gain more respect and the
night riders will be stamped out
much quicker than by waiting for
outside aid.

decision in both civil and criminal
cases than jury. Adopting the usual
tactics and sophistries of the refor

small defects and weaknesses of the
jury system and fails to mention it's
beneficient safeguards and its tow
ering strength which immeasurably
overtop it's minor faults. Deploring
the influence of emotions, sympath-

to forget that judges, too, have emo

BURYING BALLAST.
Frisco in Texas Is Feeding Lots of
Material to the Black Waxy Land

! -nHNSIlfl ~ VilC bfdNk " aAy lL&tbu
Undoubtedly the Frisco lire in
| Texas, and from Fort Worth to
Sherman, traverses the hungriest
section OF the state, when measured
by the ability of the black waxy soil
/ to eat up expensive ballast Every
! mile of this road owned by the Fris-
/ co has been given at least one heavy
coating Of the best ballast obtain
able; about half of it has been bal
lasted twice and about one-third OF
lit has been ballasted three times,
and yet the whole distance is right
now needing more ballast.
The reason for this condition is
that the earth between this city and
Sherman Is worse than sponge.
Railroad men expect ballast to sink
'in black waxy soil at least three feet
before finding firm foundation, but
along the Frisco some of 1t has al
ready sunken Ave feet and in one
instance the gravel has gone down
ten feet
The Houston and Texas Central
has spread ballast over the entire
length of that line ten times since
the line was first constructed Over
been spread as many as twenty
times. This merely illustrates what
the officials of the Frisco may expect
before they get the kind OF roadbed
they are after.
The Telegram has frequently COM
mented on the fact that the Frisco
between Fort Worth and the Red
river Is the hardest piece of property
in the state to operate and make
good showing. This ballast PROPOSE
ton is one Of the reasons.-Fort
