ATTACK ON PRIEST
WouId-be Assassin's Aim Is
Poor and Divine Es-
capes With Life.
AT A CHICAGO CHURCH.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-An attempt to as
sassinate the Rev. J. K. Fielding, pas
tor of the Corpus Christi Roman Cath
Ole church, was made Sunday after
noon. After twice shooting at the
priest in the Sunday school hallway of
the church the would-be assassin,
knocked down scores Of children
standing in his way, ran into the
street and escaped. The shooting and
the screams of the children created
excitement in one of Chicago's fash
ionable residence districts.
The would-be assassin had been
seen lettering in and about the church
for some time. He was observed
writing upon a sheet of paper which
he held against the building. Folding
the paper he placed it in his pocket,
and his actions then became suspic-
ious. The police believe the writing
was an explanation of his intended
act and his identity which was to be
found upon his body in the event of
his committing suicide after killing
the priest. A letter of similar pur-
port was found in the possession of
Giuseppe ALA, who killed Father Leo
Heinricha at the latter's altar in Den
yer.
Aroused by the mans actions, Faith
er Fielding approached him, saying:
What are you doing here?"
I'm praying" replied the stranger.
AS the priest turned his back the
stranger stepped into the hallway and
pressed a revolver against his intend
ed victim. Father Fielding knocked
the weapon away just in time to es-
cape a bullet, which grazed his head
and clipped lock of hair.

BARNARD.

Those people who are looking for
which have been laid down in the
speeches of Mr.. Taft should not over
look the fact that this can only be done
by Republican congress. Taft, whose
election now seems certain. can not &C
complish all the peoples desire unless
he has a congress which is pledged to
his support.
William O. Barnard. who is running
for congress in this district. has in his
declarations, pledged himself for all
that is best in the Republican party
and pre-eminently in favor of Taft's
policies and plans.
The people of this district need have
no fear that he will do otherwise. He
is a man Of the highest principles.
This year it is imperative that Re-
publican congressman be elected. The
dividing line is close and in the end a
evenly balanced congress may have the
effect of sitting good legislation. Taft
must have congress pledged to his
views in order to back him up and to
effect the legislation necessary to the
good government which he and the
citizens of the country desire.
In such a situation the election Of
Judge Barnard is imperative. He can
honestly receive the vote of every man
who wants safe but remedial legisla-
ton in this country.

democratic party has taken for its
slogan "Shall the people ruler" In
state politics the same party has an
nounced "the people shall not rule. "
Can not the people of Indiana be trust
ed to decide this question for them
selves?
Yes.
BY the action of the legislature the
people are enabled to decide that ques-
ton when it comes up. In the mean
time are they going to be misled by
the posters of Crawford Fairbanks ?
Why fight Jim Watson because he
urges that the State of Indiana was to
decide this matter for himself?
The brewers are fighting him with
these posters. They are trying to con-
fuse the situation. County local op-
ton is not prohibition.
The word of Governor Hook and the
Commercial club of Kansas City, may
be taken that the means of the brew
ers is false. 1t does not need to be
taken to show to the average citizen
that the brewers are using this me ans
against Watson because he stood for
Home Rule in Indiana.
The posters of the brewers are not
true. The issue is not what they
=
would make 1t.
LET the people decide"
That is what James E. Watson
stands for.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-10-19
THE POSTERS.

The brewers posters have come and
with them the refutal of the argu-
ments advanced by Crawford Fair
banks. The statement of the real
facts in Kansas by Governor Hook is
convincing. 1t is striking common
tary that the posters which attack
prohibition and county local option
were along business lines. Surely no
one knows more about business in
Kansas City than the Commercial
club. And the Commercial club an
nounces that there had never been
less crime. less drunkenness and that
business and finances had never been
in better shape. Nay business has i'm
proved.
The camera cannot lie" say the
brewers. No. but the men who use
the photographs can. A half truth is
worse than lie because it is more
subtle
What if that camera had been used
to show some other things beside the
closed bar rooms. what if a parallel
series of photographs had been made,
showing where the money went which
was needed by the families of the men
who We're lined up against the bars ir-
respective of whether there had been
drunkenness or not? The camera can
not lie.
What if the camera had shown the
life of the submerged fifth the pow
erty, the degradation? What if the
figures had been complied to show the
number of people in want?

THE UNSOLID SOUTH.

Taft has made his tour of speeches
through the south. He is the first Re-
publican candidate for the presidency
to leave the north. Whatever the i'm
mediate effect of the trip will be it is
significant. 1t means that Taft is
great enough man to look forward, that
he is keen of perception. 1t means that
he sees that the time, if not already at
hand, is soon coming when the south
must stop being solid" The negro
question is by way of being eliminated.
And with the elimination of the ne
gro question the arena of politics will
be cleared for action. The south can
not afford to be the backbone of the
Democratic party without receiving
adequate recognition from the party.
This, since the war, it has never re-
ceived.
And not the least disturbing element
in the Bryan party is that southern
Democrats are growing weary of Bry-
ans dictatorial methods and his firm
grip on the party which should but
does not bear his name He has ex-
cluded the real Democrats of his party
from his councils, he has departed from
the tenets of his party to wander after
strange gods, he fails Of being an OPP
position and he has adopted the role
of the perpetual candidate to make his
party the means of self advertisement
for personal gain.
Wherein can the southern Democrat
whom he does not recognize find any
thing but disgust at being exploited
along these lines.
What Bryan might for personal rca-
sons have done, Taft who cannot hope
to gain much, has done. He has under
taken to make the southerner realize
that he. too, is part of the country. The
south is awakening to its physical re-
sources-the time is coming when it
will realize its political resources. After
forty years the Rip Van Wrinkle Of the

COY. HUGHES ON TAEr.

Gov. Hughes enhances his standing
before the American people by his
prompt tribute in well-fitting words to
the nominee. He said at meeting in
New York City last week:
The Republican Party is never in
want of man able and equipped for
his task, for the great task of governing
a free people in constitutional method.
But there never has been a man called
to that task with the equipment OF
William Howard Taft.
That is the plain fact. His record
may be examined with a microscope.
His long career in public office. from
early manhood, in various spheres of
activity, may be subjected to the most
rigid scrutiny, and out of all of it will
only come an enhancement OF respect
for the man who so nobly typifies what
we regard as capacity for craftsmanship
He leads us at time when such wise
leadership is necessary, and we may
follow him with the approval of the
judgment, and the support that the
mind commands may have brought TO it
the enthusiasm of emotion as we thank
God for such a leader at this hour
From man of Gov. Hughes's stand
ing and infiexible ideas as to public life
this is certainly handsome and sponta-
neous, and should carry the greatest
weight.
