Mobs are unlawful, and do
wrong often. Our forefathers
did wrong, under the law, when
they threw the tea overheard in
Boston harbor, but their rebellion
against oppression was right and
American freedom resulted. Who
will say that it was wrong in
principle, to fight against proper
ty confiscation and for personal
freedom? The law is powerless
to prevent the unspeakable crime.
Who then can justly censure
people from protecting their
women from such fends by hang
ing or killing those guilty with
out waiting laws slow procedure.
Only two questions should be
asked in such cases Was it an
attempt? and is this the man?
Then death as quickly as possible,

Brig. General Daniel H. Ruck-
er, retired army officer and
father Of Mrs. Phil Sheridan, has
been declared dead by the New
York Life Insurance Co. He
took out a policy when young in
that company, and as its actua-
ries declare no one at his age,
when he insured, could live be-
yond 95, his present age, they
marked him "demised" and sent
him the amount due when he
should have died. Maybe they
had no use for surplus funds,
which heretofore they have been
giving generously to republican
campaign committees and now
that that outlet has been cut off
they will turn it over to rightfu.

He was telling the camel, They
say you can go seven days with
out drink, but who the hell wants
to be a camel? | drink Blanks
whisky seven days in theweek."
From his looks he was telling
the truth. 1t is legal to sell
whisky wherever the trade is
licensed but it is not moral un-
der any conditions. It is ques-
ton of principle and taste for
the paper to decide as to whether
it will carry a whisky advertise
m ent or not. One who does not
believe the traffic wrong in prin-
ciple certainly has the right to do
as he pleases and should not be
criticised, but it's bad lasts ac-
cording to the great majority
whose opinion should be regard
ed to some extent at least. The
man in the picture can put liquor
in his stomach, but he will have
fewer dollars in his pocket and
brains in his head as long as he
does it. AS to the particular
brand of advertising used by Mr..
Blank, it only proves that the
business one is engaged in has
it's influence, for good or bad,
and that liquor selling makes the
owners language as coarse as it
does the features of those who
drink it.

Richmond. Ind.-Twenty-fiv years
ago, Robert Gamble now a prosper
Gus farmer living near Greensboro,
received severe punishment at the
hands of William Baldwin, teacher of
the county school which Gamble at

that If opportunity ever offered after

opportunity came today, and Gamble,
not the least softened by the lapse of
a quarter of century, attacked Bald
win and beat him severely.
The two met on the streets of
Greensboro Gamble stopped Bald
win, whom he had not seen for years,

much and Gamble then administered
the punishment.
The case was reported to the Rich
