NO MORE OUTRAGES
in The BLACK PATCH
Says Major Johnson In His Re-
port on Conditions to the
Governor.
A Frankfort dispatch says:

| A rrankIOrt ulspatcn says: ........
Adj. Gen. p. P. Johnston returned
this morning from Western Kentucky
where he has been for several days
visiting all the tobacco warehouses
operated by the Italian government
He had a conference with Gov. Will
son and reported the result of his
work. Gen. Johnston says the sit.
uation is much better than has been
reported; that further outrages are
i not looked for in any quarter, as the
people are confident that the Governor
and the officials will see that the law
is enforced.
Gen. Johnston has made no investi-
cation whatever as to the guilt or in
nocence of any supposed night riders
as that feature is being attended to
by the Fire Marshal and other Off
Gals.
The special term of Christian Cir
cult Court will begin Thursday, and
Judge Cook and the Commonwealth
Attorney will both serve, as there is
no law whereby any other can be ap-
pointed unless they decline to serve.
General Johnston will likely not go
to Hopkinsville during the special
term of court unless some further
outrages are committed.
The following is a copy of a typical
might rider" warning letter sent to
Gov. Wilson for his inspection:
THE foreman of your grand jury
has Joined the association, as you all
failed to find bills against the plant
bed scrapers. You darn fool, don't
you know that we had the Sheriff,
Commemorative Attorney, Judge and
the Governor at our backs. We ex-
pect TO have representative on ev7
cry grand jury. We intend to wait
on you and-and put you out of bust
ness in very rough manner Now
he has come in we give you one more
opportunity to save yourself. Your
impudence and tongue will not save
you nor your properly either.-Night
Rider"
The letter itself is not dated, but
the envelope is postmarked August 6,
1907. which was two months before
the Hopkinsville raid.

Arrested But Escaped,

Rockort, KY, Dec. SO.-Walter Bur-
den, young white man, was arrested
here Sunday morning by Police Geo
Tilford, upon advice of the Sheriff OF
Butler county.
Last week Burden married Anna
Sheffield. a 16-year-old girl of this
city. Following the publication OF
his marriage license a warrant was
received by the police of Rockport
for Burdens arrest. 1t is understood
that Burden is charged with he betray'
al of young lady who lives in Butler
county.
Burden was arrested, but while be-
ing guarded, managed to escape. A
blood hound was placed on his trail,
but after following it for a short dis
lance, lost the scent. Burden is still
at large.

Eree-Trade Their Doctrine.

A reader wants 10 know why the
Democrat and Chronicle calls Tariff
reformers 'Free-Traders." Because
that is what they call t emselves when
they demand a Tariff for revenue
only" and denounce Protection as
robbery" The Charleston News and
Courier, one of the ablest Democratic
papers in the country, recently ex-
pressed its contempt for Tariff ''revis-
ion" and declared that Tariff reform
should be the slogan of the Demo-
cracy. Revision" said the News and
Courier, might imply a reimbursement
of Protective duties while reform"
ment condemnation and rejection Of
the principles of Protection. That
was honest talk, and the same doc
trine is preached although often in
less definite and aggressive terms. by
Northern Democratic papers. To be
against Protection is to be for Free
Trade, and 1t is well TO have the fact
understood, since the Tariff issue is
likely to come into prominence in
next years. national campaign.-Ro-
chester Democratic Chronicle.

The year 1907 will go into history
as the most remarkable for the large
number of fatal mine explosions in
various parts of the country. Some
thing should be done TO give better
protection to this large class of la
borers who risk enough at anytime,
delying in the bowels of the earth,
bringing forth that which keeps us
comfortable around the fireside, and
makes possible the operation of ev-
cry factory in the land. We are glad
to note that Governor Wilson is TO
have an inspection of Kentucky mines
with this end in view.

Fond of Golf and Drivinq.

Natty in dress and short in stature, Senator Knox has boyish appearance, which is forgotten on closer acqualnt- ance. The impression he makes in conversation is that of clean thinker and a man of intellectual force. His eyes are blue and almost cold. Knox's neighbors at Valley Forge. the historic spot at which he has beautiful coun- try home, accuse him of being an aris- tocrat. He certainly is not effusive, but is quietly affable with those whom he knows. His chief recreations are golf and driving.
 Mrs. Knox says she exists at Wash ington and lives nt Valley Forge. She was a Miss Smith of Pittsburg and is of quiet and refined tastes. She is about the same height as her husband and has the same youthful appear ance. The Knoxes have the best pri- vate library in Washington.
 Friends of Senator Knox insist that he Is neither a radical nor a reaction ary. With some of the presidents poll cies he is in full accord. having prac- tically drafted the rate bill and other administration measures. With others of NIT. RooseveIt's ideas be Is in frank and open disagreement.
 One famous expression of Attorney General Knox is typical of the man. It was after the winning of the North ern Securities case. and to reassure the frightened hnanciers Knox crisply ex- claimed:

KNox's TWO SPEECHES.
President Congratulates Him and
 Says They Were Great.

Washington, Feb 24.--'Senator Knox, you have made the two best speeches that have been made in re- cent years. I want to congratulate you on them.'
 In these words President Roose- welt paid the tribute of his con- mendation to the addresses made by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania at Kalamazoo, Mich, and at Pittsburg. The first was delivered on February Il, and was on "The People, the Railroads and the National Authori- ty," dealing with the governments policy of railroad regulation. The second was delivered before the Pittsburg chamber of commerce on the following night and the subject was "The Future of Commerce" It advocated the improvement by the government upon a large scale of the harbors and inland waterways of the country.
 Senator Knox recently called at the white house with Judge James s. Young of Pittsburg. They were waiting in the cabinet room, which was filled with visitors, when the president opened the door connect ing with his private office and saw the senator. He greeted him with the words quoted above.
 You mean they are the greatest speeches since your last one,' mod estly replied Senator Knox to the presidents complimentary refer- ence
 ''Oh, no, I do not make any such exception" said the president.
 The conversation between the president and the senator was heard by every person in the room, among whom was a delegation from Ken lucky, and it created something of a sensation. When these visitors came away they were talking about it and commenting upon the em- phatic terms of approval which the president applied to Senator's Knox's utterances
 To Senator Knox's friends there was no surprise that the president should have spoken in such terms of these addresses. While he was a member of the cabinet MT Knox was looked upon as the spokesman of the administration in matters relating to the antitrust policy of the govern ment. He was admitted to know more about the subject than any oth- CT person and upon several occasions he has delivered speeches at the ex- pressed wish of the president, in order that the public might know exactly what was contemplated by the administration.
 Since leaving the cabinet MT Knox has sustained practically the same relations to the administration and when he has spoken in public COL corning the aims and accomplish ments of the government along these lines his remarks brought forth the congratulations and ap- proval of the president. A perfect harmony of purpose exists between the president and Senator Knox on this subject. Likewise President Roosevelt is an ardent advocate of waterway Improvements and the Senator's address at Pittsburg cculd not fail to strike responsive choi d in MT Roosevelt's breast.
