The friends Of Jan Pouren, the Rus
sian revelutionist who has been held at
New York for some time by the federal
authorities upon the demand OF Russia
for his extradition as a criminal, are
rejoicing over the news that Secretary
of State Root has requested a rehearing
on the strength of affidayits tending to
show that Poulen was sought for po-
litical rather than criminal offenses.
An appeal made by friends of the Rus
sian had brought these affidavits before
Root In a letter to Jacob Schiff of
New York, Secretary Root said: .'Of
course this government does not con-
template sending Pouren or any one
else back to Russia or any other coun-
try to be tried for a political offense."
In this connection it comes out that
Root has asked the Russian government
for q complete revision of the treaty
of 1882, under which naturalized Rus
slams in America are still regarded as
criminals if they return to their native
land. Notwithstanding this reopening
of the case, the Pouren defense confer
ence was informed by William English
Walling that PRESIDENT Roosevelt had re-
fused to accept the petitions of citizens
urging the government not to allow the
department of the refugee.

NIGHT RIDING MUST
STOP IN THE SOUTH
Governors OF Several States Will
Act in Concert to Destroy Dis
reputable Organization.
CONFESSION LEADS TO ARREST
Many of Those Connected with the
Dastardly Murder of Capt. Ran
kin Are Now in Custody.

The prompt measures taken by Gov
ernor Patterson in dealing with the
shocking outrage of the Tennessee
Night Riders, when Capt. Quentin r.
Rankin was lynched and his friend and
companion, Judge Zachary Taylor, mar
rowly escaped similar fate, are bear
ing fruit. Numerous arrests of MEM
bers of the Night Riders have been
made by the militia, which the Cover
nor sent into the northwestern part or
the State, and one of the law-breaking
gang. Ted Burton, has made confess
sion duplicating over two score OF the
criminals. The majority of these are
now under arrest at Camp Memo, at
Samberg. and all of them eventually
will be forced to face the responsibility
for their shockingly cold-bleoded and
cruel crime.
According to the story told by Bur
ton, the ringleaders of the Night Rid
ers, who hanged Capt. Rankin near
Walnut Lodge on the shores Of Reel
foot Lake. were Tom and Carrot John
son and Will Watson, the two former
of whom are under arrest and the lat
ter of whom is now at large under
$1,000 bond for another crime. Burton
asserts that he was not actually pres
ent at the lynching. but that he helped
to arrange the preliminaries. He is
plicates James +. Carpenter, lawyer,
whom he charges with having decoyed
Rankin and Taylor to Walnut Lodge
under the pretense of buying some land
bordering on Reelfoot Lake, dispute
over the fishing privileges of which
led to the tragedy. Carpenter is now
under arrest.
Burton met Carpenter at Walnut
Lodge by arrangement, and says he
saw Rankin and Taylor at the supper
table the night they were taken from
their beds in the hotel and conveyed.
bound on horseback. to Bayou Deshea.
to be murdered After making sure
that Rankin and Taylor were at Wal
nut Lodge he conveyed the information
to the leaders of the Night Riders, and
while leaving the latter to deal with
the victims he went out on the lake
to fish. He was fishing fully mile
from shore when Rankin was killed
ana heard the reports of the shots that
were fired into his body.
The confession of Burton and the
arrest of many of the Night Riders
implicated in the tragedy have placed
the authorities in a strong position in
dealing with the lawlessness of the
Night Riders. Five companies of State
militia are now in the affected district
and more will be dispatched to the
scene should the situation warrant it
1t is thelpurpose of Governor Patterson
to stamp out the lawlessness which has
existed in the vicinity of Reeltoot Lake

Long-standing Lawlessness.

The fishing privileges connected with
this lake lie at the root Of the whole
trouble. 1t has been the contention of
those living near the lake-squatters
and others that it was their right to
ply their calling as fishermen in its
waters without molestation. while the
owner OF the land on the shores of the
lake took an opposite view.
Originally there were many owners
of the lands bordering on the lake, but
the Western Tennessee Land Company,
of which Capt. Rankin and Judge Tay.
Tor were the organizers, purchased the
rights of many of those, and in the
courts the company was upheld, to-
gether with the embargo it had placed
on the fishing privileges on the lake.
Then followed Night Rider warnings,
threatening death to those who opposed
the wishes of the members of the band.
1t was on the first visit in many months
to the lake region that Capt. Rankin
was killed.
Now the Night Riders are to be
fought to finish and the whole dis
reputable organization exterminated
The war against the Night Riders is
to be extended to other States where
this species of lawlessness exists. The
Governors of several States-Governor
Noel of Mississippi. Pihdall of Arkan-
sas, and Wilson of Kentucky-have
approved a suggestion of Governor Pat
terson that conference of the execu-
tives of these States be held and plans
devised whereby they can act in concert
in an effort to destroy Night Rider or
CARNATIONS. The Governors of other
States-Indiana, Georgia, Alabama
where night riding is springing up, will
probably join in the movement.

An aggregate loss of S1,000,000 a day
during the months when forest fires
have been prevailing in various parts
of the United States is estimated by
w. ]. MCGEE, the erosion expert of the
Department of Agriculture. The forest
ry bureau in statement says that
probably in every instance the devas-
tating forest fires might have been pre-
vented if the several States had pro-
vided an adequate number of men to
patrol the woods and arrest the fires in
their incipiency, and if lumbermen and
other users of the forests had been
careful to dispose of brush after log
ging so as to prevent the spread of
fires. Exclusive of salaries of forestry
officers, the work in putting down fires
in the national forests during the last
ear cost the government $4,000,
wlich means protecting approximately
16S,000,000 acres. The statement says
the loss from timber destroyed in 1908
will be larger than last year, but that
it IS doubtful if the exact losses will
ever be known.

The Influence of O Word.

How enormously important are
these first conversations of child
hood. I felt it this morning with a
sort of religious terror. Innocence
and childhood are sacred. The
sower who casts in the seed, the
full word, are accomplishing a ponti-
fical act and ought to perform it with
a religious awe, with prayer and
gravity, for they are laboring at the
kingdom of God. All seed-sowing
is a mysterious thing, whether tie
seed fall into the earth or into souls
Man is husbandman; his whole
work rightly understood, is to de-
velop life, to SOW it everywhere
Such is the mission of humanity;
and of this divine mission the great
instrument is speech. We forget toe
often that language is both a seed
sowing and a revelation. The inf1u-
ence of a word in seasons il
not inclaculable? What a mystery in
speech! But we are blind to it, be-
cause we are carnal and earthly. We
see the stones and the trees by the
road, the furniture of our houses
all that is palpable and material. We
have no eyes for the invisible pha.
lanxes of ideas which people the all
and hover necessarily around each
one of us.-Henri Frederic Amiel.
